work is executed by a countryman of
mine, Signor Antonio Canova," and seek
ing in the crowd for youth who was
modestly shrinking from notice, he
brought him forward to receive the con-
gratulations which he merited Canova
became the most distinguished sculptor
of Italy after Michael Angelo His genius
led him to the very summit of glory.
And yet he always relied on his industry
and perseverance rather than upon his
genius. He formed resolution which
was faithfully adhered to, that not sim
gle day should pass without his making
some visible advance in his profession
Depending far more on work than in
spiration, he filled Italy with the pro-
ducts of his chisel-received many marks
of the highest distinction-had his name
inscribed In the Golden Volume of the
Capita" was made Marquis of
Ischia.
This early passage in the history of
Canova encourages us In the faith that if
we cultivate the talent committed to us
with resolute spirit, the providence of
God will always open up career. Muir
mur not then at obstacles. Continual
dropping wears stone" Clouds of dark
ness, opposition, enemies, barriers of
every kind will vanish before a stout
heart and resolute energy of soul Only
be sure that the life purpose is one that
God and goodness sanction, and then be
true as steel to 1t, No matter whether
the object be great or small-whether it
be the planting of a nation or a potato
patch-the whole might of the soul must
be thrown into it to make it a success.
Earnestness will force every circumstance
into ones favor, scale the mountains of
difficulty, rend in twain the woven web
of adversely which wells the future, turn
enemies into friends, and accomplish
whatever is great, good, and valuable.
Great natural endowments are desira-
BILE, but industry is better. Genius with
out labor may make few glorious leaps
Like blazing meteor it may flash half
across the horizon at once. But the COM
mon mind led on by industry, though it
may lag behind for a season, will finally
march on, gaining speed with time, and
will leave genius worn out and discour-
aged amid its own faded glories Think
not to ascend by leaps There is no such
thing as going to sleep beggar and
awaking a Rothschild--lying down
Ounce and rising up Solomon. The
genius of energy is the only potency
which can conquer an eminent position.
The world is not clay but iron in the
hands of its workers. Hammer out re-
suits by steady and rugged blows. Genius
may dart, hutter, and tire, but perserver-
ing industry wins and wears The last
blow sends home the nail. L. M. @.

three times before. Once when by di-
rectlon of Presbytery l applied for
permission to make an appeal in behalf
of weak church in rich but despe-
rately ungodly community to strong
city church. The answer from the pas
tor, who had made the motion under
which [ was acting before the Presbyte-
ry, was: The people at --a are as
able to help themselves as we are to help
them.
A second time I heard it when asking
for collection to serd an evangelist to
wealthy but destitute region of West
Virginia. Those people are richer than
we are, if they want the gospel let them
pay for it. And again: Not long since,
with reference to Foreign Missions, 1.-The
people in China have money, if they
want preaching let them pay for it as I
do"
So " j" can see that his argument is
a good one. 1t serves many purposes.
In one respect it is like charity. it covers
but does not conceal multitude of sins.
Is 1t fundamental principle of the
gospel that if man or community has
money the gospel must not be sent to it
unless all expense is borne? "J seems
to think so.
A few Christian men of limited means
and few godly women living in pros
porous but ungodly community are dis
tressed by the moral condition of things.
They long for the gospel for themselves
and for their neighbors and friends.
They conceive the idea of building a.
church, do all they can for themselves,
and then utter the Macedonian cry. Some
people are foolish enough to believe that
these Christians have some appreciation
of the worth of religion at home and of
the value of church, and some desire
to have their ungodly neighbors saved.
And some have supposed that this was
very good way of spreading the gospel
and building up the Church
But L. B. j" says: mo, this is a
mendicant spirit that must be cast out. "
And -" says mo, you can't have
any church till your ungodly neighbors
are converted and learn to practice reh-
gion and see the benefit of it in their
homes, they may then be willing to build
a church, but they will never learn that
in churches built for them by others.

of Rev DIR. S. ]. Baird S Interpretation of
l Cor. XIV 29-(about being baptized for
the dead)-endorsed by "W. A c." But
there is less satisfaction in that view of
the passage than any [ ever saw or heard
Of Indeed it can hardly be supposed
that in the Grecian city, Corinth, those

ting, knew much more about purifying
from the dead, under JelOish ceremonial

Church did not suffer as greatly as some
others from Judaizing teachers, and had
no use for instruction as to JelOiSh cere-

this s.chapter the Apostle IS as far as posi-
bic from discussion of such minor mat
matters in this connec-
ton. The resurrection and its consola-
tions was his theme The exalted strain
in which he speaks, shows how his whole
soul is in his great subject The chapter
closes showing how he drew, and bade
others draw, precious consultations from
what had been said 1t was the founda-
ton truth of all his hopes-this doctrine
of the resurrection, in preaching which
he suffered in holding which, they suf-
fered. But he shows that these suffer
ings were not vain and useless. How
could he do this by talking of Jewish
rites of baptizing from the dead, l. e.,
baptism because one had touched dead
body? | am utterly unable to see any
reason in this view, to which you give

Why is the Christian era dated four

Why is the Christian era dated four
years after the birth OF Christ? Who fixed tie
date of the Christian era? lev.
The exact date of Christ birth is not known.
According to the received chronology, which is,
in fact, that of Roman monk famed for his
knowledge of Scripture and the Greek language,
Dionysius Exiguus, in the fourth century, it oc-
Cured in the year of Rome 754 "a. D. y but it
is is now generally believed by the best scholars
that it took place as early as 75O (B. C. A. The
data on which this conclusion is based are first,
the death OF Herod, who was living at the time
of Jesus's birth, and did not die, according to
p-ofane history, till four years after the date
formerly assigned to the birth of Jesus second

There Is something pathetic in the
universal expectation throughout the East of
the coming OF a deliverer for the oppressed and
distracted believers in the Mohammedan faith
Mohammed himself prophesied the coming of
Medhi, or teacher, who was to be an Arab of
the clan Korelsh, and who in the dark hour of
Islam would re unite the faithful and become
their ruler throughout the world. The belief IN
the speedy fulhllment of this prediction is now so
general throughout Arabia and Syria that the
family at Mecca out of whose number the teacher
Is TO come IS watched with the greatest interest.
Another curious prophecy, more specific in its
character, says On the first of the month of
Moharram in the year 1900 (l2th of November.
1882 will appear the FL Medhi or Messiah He
will be exactly forty years of age and Of noble
bearing One arm will be longer than the
other. His fathers name will be Muhammed
his mothers Fatima and he will be hidden for
time prior to his manifestation" Now it hap
pens that Ell Medhi, the head Of a religious com
mun1ty which has hundreds Of monasteries in
Northern Africa and in Syria and in Arabia,
with great following of Mahommedan tribes
IN the deserts, claims to be the long expected
teacher and promises to proclaim himself on the
date named. Curously enough, his right arm is
longer than his left, and he has been hidden for
four years in a religious retreat The "Specta-
tor, which has collected this and other curious
facts bearing upon the subject thinks that in the
present temper Of the Mohammedan population
Of the East there is possibility of great re-
hgious movement in case FL Medhi comes out at
the time named and succeeds in winning any
military successes. ~ Christian Union.
