every tree whereupon we would rest is

I wish and pray that the Lord would

It's q now know by experienced hard
to keep sight OF God in storm, especial

his children.
If God has given you the earnest of the
Spirit as part payment Of Gods principal
sum, We have to rejoice.
Whether God come to his children with

Ministers should study, most of all, to
preach Christ. The most successful
preachers have always been pre-eminent-
ly preachers of Christ. This is reason
able, because Christ is, above everything
else IN the universe, what all men most
need. There comes a period in the his
tory of every man when he realizes this
fact. A clergyman was one day visiting
dying man. He read chapter to him
about heaven, and then sang two verses
OF the hymn commencing
There is a land of pure delight"
when he was interrupted by the sick
man, with the request that he would sing
the hymn beginning with,
There is fountain filed with blood"
He who knows Christ, knows every
thing else. 1t is Christ and not heaven,
the dying need. He who receives Christ
gets heaven. He who has no Christ would
De miserable in paradise. The blood of
Christ cleanses from all sin. 1t is the
preachers great and chief duty to preach
that truth in every sermon. He is to
make known, in every possible manner,
the great and the only remedy found for
mans sin. If we fail, as preachers, in
this one particular, no matter in how
many others we succeed, our ministry
will be miserable failure.-THe Preach

be held as one of the greatest blessings
commerce had bestowed on mankind.
The parish school brought education
within the reach of everyone, and #
might be doubted whether a century ago
there existed Scotch Lowlander who
could not read and write. They were
told that the manners of the people were
at this time gloomy and harsh, and that
their literature encouraged superstition
and blgotry that the people were taught
that 1t was wrong to enjoy the present,
and were learned to tremble at the
future. A Mr.. Buckle was first to
make that statement, but such scribblers
showed their total ignorance of what
the national literature really was. He
pointed to the songs written by Willie"
peasants, such as Muirlan, &" HE, lets
a tae the Bridal, and others, to show
that these were enjoyed and that the
people were mirthful and happy. The
intrequency with which servants then
changed their places showed that the
connection between masters and SER
wants had less Of the commercial and
more of the patriarchal characteristics
than nowadays. Newspapers were al
most altogether unknown in Scotland
LOO years ago, and the rural population
were indebted for news to two classes
packman and bluegowns.

Joseph Cook and the Brahmo
Somai

Joseph Cook S series of lectures in Cal
cutta and other cities have been attended
by enormous audiences, crowding the
largest halls, and their influence cannot
but be great. The Calcutta Town-hall
was crowded as we have never seen it
before, says one writer, who enthusiast
tically declares that Boston does not need
him SO much as Calcutta does and that he
should remain there.
The general sound sense which charae-
terizes Mr.. Cooks judgment of current
religious and public matters was shown
by him In his attitude toward various
movements in India. Spiritualism and
ttheosophism are hand in glove there and
he mercilessly exposed and criticized
them. He happened to know some Of
those theosophists' in America and
knew what to say of them.
Quite the reverse was his respectful
treatment of the Brahmo Somai. He con-
trasted the atheism of Madras and the
theosophism of Bombay with the Brahmo
SomaJ and New Dispensation of Calcutta,
speaking In very complimentary terms
OF Mr.. Chunder Sen. The latter was
present, though just Receiving from severe
illness, and moved the vote of thanks.
He asked Mr.. Cook to tell America that
an ambassador Of Christ was sure to be
welcomed In India that, though there
might be persons who professed them
selves to be opposed to Christ, vet in
heart the country honored him. The
theism Of the New Dispensation, he said,
was not the theism of Europe and Amer
lea. 1t differed from it materially, being
entirely providential in its nature. It
was the sister of Christianity and could
not be opposed to it. He asked America
and Europe to wait for the ultimate de-
velopment Of this theism in India.-La-

This is handsome volume intended strictly

spirit, and is well calculated to introduce the
young to one of the most interesting of all the
departments of Nature 1t is written go simply
and clearly, and with 60 little pedantry, that
those unaccustomed to scientific studies can
easily understand it, all technical language and
difficult discussions being avoided. We think
works OF this kind are of great value in starting
the mind upon the study of science like Geol
ogy or Astronomy, because the trouble with
many In undertaking most of our text. books s
that they are soon confused and lose interest

In the preface to this volume Professor Hal
sey states that the chief purpose in view is to
furnish practical and Scriptural answer to two
questions: first, What must believe and do in
order to be saved and, second, What must 1 do
and what must l become in order to fulfil the
law of Christ? He remarks that the points on
which all evangelical Christians agree are far
greater than those on which they differ, and
that it has long been his cherished hope to be
able to state the great essential doctrines of the
common salvation in such form as would COM
mend them to the judgment and cordial accept
ance of Gods children in all evangelical demon
nations; and that this volume is the contribu.
ton Of a Presbyterian to thatw Christianity
of the ancient past, and also of the future, in
which it is hoped all evangelical Christians will
ere long stand nearer together than they now
stand, because they will learn to look less at
points of difference and more at the great prin
ciples of their common salvation. A work on
such subject from such source, with the i'm
primatur of the Presbyterian Board of Publica-
ton, will carry with it its own recommendation.
