was no use in trying to get back to
the barn; the men would do what
was necessary, and his strength was
half used up by his efforts already.
After Maud had regained her breath
she went to the window, and would
not stir or speak. Her eyes were
fixed on the barns. The others
gathered around the fire in awed
silence. The terror of the storm
was upon them. 1t seemed as il

lence. Mrs. Wellington was nearly

Maud turned and said, in strained,
hard voice,
"Mr. Little, how long does this
sort of thing generally last ?"
"Wa'al, it begins abaout noon to
be the worst, and it keeps it up till
next morning"
"Ought not the men to come uu
pretty soon ?" she asked again, wi ,
ill-concealed anxiety.
"Oh yes. they'll be up directly. |

But they did not come. Once
Maud saw three figures creep around
the partially sheltered side Of the
building. but when they reached its
front they were struck down, and
she saw them crawl on their hands
and knees back to the sheds. The
full horror of the circumstance
struck her. Calling Mr.. Little, she
told him what she had see.
Then they must stay there till it
is over ?" he said, in low unnat-
ural voice.

Separation.

The strength OF the Church of God
consists largely N its separation from the
world. Christians are called to forsake
all and follow Christ. 1t is the policy
OF the deceiver 10 mingle all things, good
and bad, sacred and profane in one cor
fused and Jumbled mass God calls His
people to come out and stand aloof and
thus escape the communicating influences
OF the world. Persons sometimes excuse
their conformity to the world by claim
ing that they Join with them.in order ia
do them good but if man is mired in
a bog, we do not extricate him by plunc-
ing IN with him; if boy has broken
through the ice in a pond, we do not
dive in with him in order to bring him
out. We keep a safe distance, and push
a plank towards him, and bid him take
hold of 1t, and escape from his perilous
position. So i we desire to benefit the
world, we can best accomplish our object
by living IN holy separation from it; and
while thus separated from the world and
consecrated to the Lord we have power
with God and also with man Minelinc
with the world we lose our fellowship
with God and our testimony TO man. So
long as Christians and workings are SO
mingled in business, in pleasure, and in
religion, that no one can tell them apart
50 long will the Church be powerless and
the world triumphant Wherefore come
out from among them, and be We ser
rate, saith the Lord, and touch not the
anclean thing and l will receive YOU,
and Will be father unto you, and ye shall
be my sons and daughters saith the Lord
Almighty. - q Cor. Vi: H. 18)-Te

Noble Words.

The following is from a speech of the
Bishop of Liverpool, on recent occasion
the subject being the Evangelisation Of
the Masses in the Cities.
While he did not believe that
the masses of the people were worse than
others, yet their condition was great and
perilous fact, and needed the earnest at
tention of Christian mem. These
could not be left to themselves with safe
ty. They were what the French called
the dangerous classes. 1t is high time for
all the branches of the Church of Christ
to think less Of their differences, and to
take up the great work of evangelization
They were wasting their time in wretched
squabbles while men were perishing
The work was vast enough for all Of
them. AS he got older he welcomed
every scriptural evangelical effort to do
good to souls from whatever quarter it
might come. He should like to have a
church for every 5000 people, and have
every pulpit well lined or well filed, for
a well-lined pulpit was the greatest orna-
ment to any church. He should like ac-
tive curates and missionaries of all kinds
in every parish. But if he waited FOR all
this he should wait long time; and he
could not wait, for souls were perishing
So he welcomed every effort by Mr.. Spur
geon and the B1ptists, and every effort
by the Methodists, and the Independents
and the Presbyterians, and he was not
backward to say that he welcomed any
good done by General Booth and the Sal
walton Army. OF course he did not say
that he approved of all the ways in which
the work was done. Itmight not be done
In exactly the way he should like, but he
thanked God when sinners were brought
to Jesus. Although he should like to
see all people belonging to the Church Of
England, which he loved and honored.
and meant to stand by as long,as she was
an Evangelical Church, yet rather than
peoples souls should be lost, and they
should die in their sins, he would be glad
to see them saved by the Baptists, the
Presbyterians, by Nonconformists Of every
kind-yea, by the Salvation Army"
In his appeal in conclusion, the Bishop
used these solemn words " Rich men
were living on volcano if they would
not do their duty, and give their money
for the spread of the gospel, they must
not be surprised if the State of things
which prevailed in the French Revolution
should be repeated in London The
devil never slept, and there was no
greater danger than unsaved souls.

Direct PRAYERS.

The late DR.. James Hamilton had
capital illustration Of how general pray
ers and oblique sermons" fail to satisfy
the soul in the emergencies of life. 4
Scotchman who had but one prayer was
asked by his wife to pray at the bedside
of their dying child The good man

came to the usual petition for the Jews.

that's a deem. Then, clasping her
hand, she cried Lord, help us oil,
give us back our darling if it be Thy
holy will and if he is to be taken Oh
take him to Thyself." That woman
knew how to pray, which was more thar
her husband did An "obhque sermon

would there be as many complaints about

The Slavery of the Jews.

Whatever ground the Popes had left
untouched, was covered by the councils
of the different countries; they forbade
for example, that Christian should let
or sell house to Jew, or buy wine OF
him. In addition to all this, came the
oft-renewed orders to burn all copies OF
the Talmud and its Commentaries. e..
by far the largest part of the Jewish
hterature-on account of the passages
hostile to Christianity that were said to
be found therein. And then came again
fortunes, prosecutions, and imprison
meDts In abundance. 1t seemed as if the
mighty Of the earth had only stones in
stead of bread for the afflicted people.
and were disposed to give no answer to
their entreaties and inquiries, other than
that which the ancestors of the Jews once
gave to the tyrant Herod, VIZ, when he
asked what, then, he should do for them.
they replied, to hang himself.
The new theory of the slavery of the
Jews was now adopted and elaborated
by the theologians and economical writers
Thomas Of Aquinas, whose views vass as
unimpeachable in the whole Church, de
cided that the princes could dispose OF
the property of these men, who were
condemned to perpetual bondage, Just as
they would OF their own goods A long
series of writers on the canon law built
upon the same foundation the assertion
that princes and lords could forcibly dis
possess the Jews Of their sons and daugh-
ters and cause them to be baptized
That baptized child Of Jew should
not be allowed to remain with its father
was universally taught, and still is a de-
mand of the church The prices, in the
meantime, had greedly adopted the
papal doctrine of the divinely ordained
slavery of the Jews, and the Emperor
Frederick II. based thereupon the claim
that all Jews were his property as the
emperor, according TO the then prevail
ing logic, that the master rights over
them had been transmitted from the old
Roman emperors to him as their sue
cessor. His son, Conrad ", already
used the expression, Servants OF our
chamber, and the Schwabenspiepel pro
iessed to know that king Titus had
given them over to be the property Of
the imperial chamber" King Albrecbt
demanded from King Philip, Of France,
that the French Jews be handed over to
him, and later the Jews themselves said.

New York Funk & Wagnalls.
The author states that this work was COM
nenced more than quarter of century ago
in India, and that the materials from which it
has been compiled are scattered over more than
1000 volumes, some very rare, and to be con-
suited only in libraries in India Russia and
other parts of the Continent, or in the British
Museum. It's object is to afford some help to
the following classes-Orientalists, Lovers Of
Folk Lore, Teachers, and Preachers. The pro
verbs selected are limited to those serving to IL
lustrate moral and religious subjects, and are
taken from China. Japan, the provinces of In
dia, Russia, Palestine, Arabia Turkey, Persia,
the Talmud, &C., &c. The plan of the volume
is to give text or passage of Scripture, which
is then briefly commented on, and then illus
trated by number of Eastern proverbs. The
work is gotte1 up in very handsome style, and

the Jews frequently went, like an article
of merchandise, from one hand into an

the other day by a lady in reference to

Of truth was not wanting in the satire,
