Pious Thoughts.
Unbelief.

Unbelief.
There is no unbelief;
Whoeve plants the seed beneath the sod,
And waits to see 1t push away the slod,
Iru .ts he In God.
Whoever says when clouds are in the sky.
"Be patient, heart Light breaketh by and
by"
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever Sees meath winters field of snow,
rhe silent harvest of the future grow,
God power must know.
whoever lies down in his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in slumper deep,
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says: Tomorrow" "The I'm
known"
"Ehe Future" trusts that Power alone
He dared disown.
The heart that looks on when the eyelids
close,
And dares to live when life has only woes,
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbellef;
~
The heart lives by that fifth the lips deny.
God knoweth why.
Speck Of Pollution.
We read last week of a gentleman
who was bitten by fly. lie was sit
ting in chair when the fly lighted
OF his arm. Feeling the sting he
brushed the fly away and thought no
more about the matter. Shortly the
arm became painful aud swelled, and
the man became seriously I'll. The only
explanation that the physician could
give was that the fly had probably
been at some tainted meat, and at the
moment of biting the arm left little
of the pollution in the flesh.
The human body is very intolerant
of any pollution within the system.
Boils or the symptoms of blood pois-
oning speedily follow its introduction,
and health is not restored till it be ex-
PEELED. A physician of this State a
year ago allowed a knife which had
been used in the examination of a
corpse to slip and cut his finger be is
hardly well yet from the blood poison
ing which resulted.
1t may we'll be that God has de-
signed this sensitiveness of the body
to the presence of anything that savors
of decay, to teach us the necessity of
purity of the soul The injury done
to the soul by the slightest pollution
may not be so evident, but is it not as
real? The faint may be commune
Gated to the soul as easily, as unsus.
pectedly as in the bite of a fly. Let
us be on our guard. Christian o.

Christ at the Feast.
Thomas Toller, of Kettering, was
remarkable for happy dealing with
texts in, at once, wise and simple a.
commodatiOn to circumstances. For
instance, at Kettering occurred a great
annual festivlty; for several days it
Kept the neighborhood in state of ex-
citing relaxation from the duties of
life. He usually preached a sermon
an admonitory character to the
young, guarding against the dangers.
and showing, how yet the OCCASION
might be made honorable to the Au-
thor of all blessings. On one occasion
he took for his text, "What think We,
that he will not come to the feast?n
and he divided his subject In this way.
I. He may be here. There is moth
in such feast in itself inconsistent
with Christ's practice.
II. Suppose he shessld be here, how
different this feast from all former
feasts. ID If Christ should come, no
good man need be ashamed to be seen
here. (2) If Christ should come, what
a damp it will be to many peoples
pleasures. (3) IF Christ should come,
would not some be ashamed to behave
as there is too much reason to believe
they will =? (4) If Christ should come,
a welcome guest, how gratefully and
will everybody go away.
III. Suppose Christ should NOT come
to the feast, then it will not be worth
coming to. ID If he is not there,
then you know who will be-the devil
will. (2) If he is not there, no good
man has any business there. (3) If
he is not there, it will be because he is
not invited. (4) II he is not there,
then you had better also have remain-
ed home.
