Let Your Light so Shine

An earnest and godly minieter relates
the following incident, and gives us the
lesson that it teaches
During a voyage to India, 1 sat, one
dark evening in my cabin, feeling thor
oughly unwell, as the sea was rising fast,
and l was poor sailor. Suddenly the
cry of " Man overheard - made me spring
to my feet. | heard trampine over
head, but resolved not to go on deck, lest
| should interfere with the crew in their
efforts to save the poor man.
What can l do?' I asked myself, and
instantly unlocking my lamp, I held it
near the top of my cabin, and close to
my bulls eye window, that its light
might shine on the sea, and as near the
ship as possible. In half minute time
| heard the joyful cry, " It's all right;
he's safe, upon which 1 put my lamp in
its place.
The next day, however, I was told that
my little lamp was the sole means of saw
ing the mans life; it was only by the
timely light which shone upon him, that
the knotted rope could be thrown so as
to reach him.
Christian worker, nercy de8poad, or
think there is nothing for you to do, even
in dark and weary days " Looking unto
Jesus, lift up your light; let it $50
shine that men may see; and in the
bright resurrection morning what Joy to
hear the "Well done !" and to know that
you have, unawares, "saved some soul
from death !"-My P1DeT.

had much work to do. He spoke of
petition. from Chicago, signed by 1900
persons, some of whom were Roman
Catholics, asking them to come thither.
II he devoted some months now to the
principal towns in Scotland, then gave
twelve months to England, with a visit
to Paris and Ireland, and after that spent
year in London, he felt that he should
have finished his mission in Great Britain
If the friends who were present could
arrange for a week or fortnight of meet
ings at each place, having the ground
well prepared and being ready to follow
up the work when Mr.. Sankey and he
had passed on elsewhere, they would be
able to cover more ground than in some
other way. He said the plan which had
been adopted in Glasgow, of having COM
petent evangelists to break fresh ground
IN different parts Of the towns, had met,
for the last four months, with great sue
cess. There had been many conversions.

The Iron Egg.

In the museum at Berlin is an iron
egg, OF which the following beautiful
story is told
Many years ago prince became az
tianced to a lovely princess, to whom he
promised to send magnificent gift as
testimonial of his affection. In due time
the messenger arrived, bringing the
promised gift, which proved to be an
IRON egg. The princess was so angry to
think that the prince should send her SO
valueless a present that she threw it
upon the floor, when the iron egg opened,
disclosing silver lining. Surprised at
such discovery, she took the egg in her
hand, and while examining it closely dis-
covered secret spring, which she
touched and the silver lining opened
disclosing a golden yolk Examining it
carefully, she found another spring which
when opened, disclosed within the golden
yolk ruby crown. Subjecting that to
an examination, she touched a spring
and forth came the diamond ring witt
which he afianced her to himself. Sc
often come the richest gifts Of God to ua.
Their outward seeming is as unattractive
as the iron egg. But within the SEEMING
responsiveness lies hidden the silver lin
ing Of Divine love. Within that love
lie hidden the golden treasures of the
gospel. Within that lies hidden the
crown of life {" Be thou faithful unto
death, and I will give thee crown Of
righteousness y And within the Bride
groom-will Alliance his bride unto him.
self.
And I saw the New Jerusalem com
ing down from God out Of heaven, pre-
pared as a bride adorned for her nus

The Venerable Bede.

B@da, the venerable Bede, as latter
times styled him, was born in 673, nine
years after the Synod Of Whitby, on
ground which passed a year later to
Benedict Biscop as the site of the abbey
which he reared by the mouth of Wear.
The youth was trained and his long
tranquil lite was wholly spent at Yarrow,
in an offshoot of Benedict's house which
had been founded by his friend Ceolfred.
Bada tells US in his own charming way a
story of his boyhood there: how one Of
the great plaques which followed the
Synod of Whitby swept off every monk
who knew how to sing in choir save the
abbot and this little scholar of his, and
how the two stoutly kept up the service,
and dropping only the antiphones, strug-
gled through the Psalms amid much
Weeping and sobbing till the rest of the
brethren were sufficiently instructed in
the church chant to suffer the full service
to be restored. Beda never stirred from
Yarrow. " l spent my whole life in the
same monastery he says, "and while
attentive to therule of my Order and the
service of the Church, my constant pleas
nre lay In learning or teaching or writ
ing. The words sketch for us a scholars
life; the more touching in its simplicity
that it is the life of the first great Eng
lish scholar. The quiet grandeur of a
life consecrated to knowledge, the tran
quill pleasure that lies in learning and
teaching and writing, dawned in fact for
Englishmen in the story of Beda. While
still young he became teacher, and six
hundred monks, besides strangers that
hocked thither for instruction, formed the
school of Yarrow. It is hard to imagine
how, among the tolls of schoolmasters and
the duties of the monk, Beeda could have
found time for the composition of the
numerous works that made his name
famous in the West But materials for
study had accumulated in Northumbria
through the journey of Wilfrid and
Benedict Biscop, and the Libraries which
were forming at Wearmouth and York.
The tradition Of the older Irish teachers
still fingered to direct the young scholar
into that path Of Scriptural Interpretation
to which he chiefly owed his fame. Greek.
a rare mplishment in the West, came
to him from the school which the Greek
Archbishop Theodore had founded be-
meath the walls Of Canterbury. while his
skill in the ecclesiastical chant was
derived from a Roman cantor whom Pope
Vitalian had sent in the train of Benedict
Biscop Little by little the young schol-
ar made himself master Of the whole
range Of the science Of his time he be-
came, as Burke rightly styled him, The
Father Of English learning" The tradi.
ton Of the older classic culture was re-
vived for England in his quotations Of
Plato and Aristotle, of Seneca and
Cicero, of Lucretius and Ovid. Virgil
cast over him the spell that he cast over
Dante; verses from the " Bneid" break
his narratives Of martyrdoms, and the
disciple ventures on the track Of the great
master in little eclogue descriptive Of
the approach Of the Spring" The Max
ing Of England u. z. Green.

ANCIENT BEADS IN AFRICA The
Aggry and Po-po beads are much priced
by the natives of Africa, but they DEFY
all imitation. They are supposed to be
ancient Egyptian, though they are not
found with the mummies in Egyptian
tombs. They sell, in Africa, for more
than their weight in gold. Specimens of
these beads have been found in Colches-
ter England. An explanation of this,
given by Mr.. j. E. Price, is that when
the Romans occupied England, they had
African slaves, who wore these beads.
The beads are made of transparent
glass, which looks blue in light and
yellow in shadow, and a colored pattern
is run through the substance. All I'M.
tatlons OF them are recognized by the ma

and a number of miners implements.
The tlmbers were notched and sharpened,
but were subject to an inundation and
left in confused heaps The implements
were mainly wooden shovels, axe-handles,
etc. Among the relics, also, was 6
basket made of Unframed raw-hide,
piece of cloth woven of coarse wool, the
fibre of which is very even and still in
good preservation, and a torch, bound
together with hax-fbre. The probabiI-
ties are that the ancient salt-miners were
overtaken by the flooding of the mine, as
mummifed bodies have been discovered,
also. The find seems to have belonged
to the pre-Roman times, as the axe
handles were evidently used for bronze
axes, specimens of which have been found
upon the surface of the mountain. The
relics are of high order, the basket
being superior even to some that were
used In the early historic times.

This just issued volume, with its elegant bind

takes its place at the very head of the Juvenile

liar value does not lie altogether in its outside
appearance. Mr.. Hale is known the country
over as one of the best of our story writers, and
some OF his books have already taken promi-
rent place among American classics. They
have not only interest but urpose Miss Hale

Charles Scribner's Sons. 1882.
This is a very timely volume, giving as 1t
does in brief compass by competent hands re-
view of the leading religious systems of the pa
can world. At moment when Christianity is
brought face to face with some of these systems
as they still prevail in the far East, it is of the
first importance that students of the Bible should
understand distinctly what these faiths are, AMI
what is the explanation of the remarkable hold
which have retained for so many centuries on
hundreds Of millions of the human race This is
the more important as very high claims have
been set up for, at least some of them, and serl-
Gus comparisons have been instituted between
these and Christianity With regard to one of
them especially buddhism there are eminent
scholars who claim that it fairly rivals in its
precepts and its benefcent influence on its vota
ries our own sacred revelation; while with re-
gard to the religion of ancient Egypt, that of
ancient Persia, and the moral precepts of Con
fucius in China, we are told that they are not
surpassed by the Old Testament and compare
faverably with the New.
The lectures are eight in number, and are as

OF, each perpetrated by great master.
Another Of these is Wordsworth s, where
ne speaks Of the poet as gathering
The harvest Of a quiet eve
That broods and sleeps on his own heart"
To represent as harvest what the eye
observes is forced kind of phraseology,
pretending to be fgurative, but present
ing no image to the mind and, when we
are further called on to conceive the har-
vest to be the result Of the brooding and
sleeping of the eye on the poets heart, a
degree OF Inconsequence is reached of
which Sir Boyle Roche might have been
proud. Not less remarkable for confu-
sion is the passage in The Princess, -
where we are told Of
-"iewels five words long
That on the stretched forefnger of all Time
Sparkle forever"
No doubt Time, who has always possessed
a forelock, may also have forefnger
but all Uime (that is time not fgurative,
but abstract) cannot. The word "all''
annihilates the personifcation, and with
it all claim to the digit; but, granting

Der Of jewels; yet the novel Office assigned
to Time is that of perpetually holding out
the member to the neglect Of his estab-
hshed duties, with his scythe, hour-glas
etc, in order to exhibit these favored vo-
cables. Lastly, to fill up the tale of slips
in the passage, sparkle forever" is wrong
in referring to circumstance of time,
and unnecessary as an indication of dura-
ton after the phrase all time"
Byron's curious batteries of the ocean

-" even from out thy slime

which, supposing the breeding Of mon

ologists even Of Byrons day would not
have allowed to be true.
