The House Of God.

"For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the
Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing
Will be withheld from them that walk up
that tru steth in Tn ee"-Ps1Im lrrriu II, Il.
In this sweet Sabbatic psalm the
writer rejoices in the house of God. He
evidently loves the pace of godly assem-
bly,, the place where prayer and praise
were offered by the united tribes of his
people. But, brethren. there was no
superstition in this love- He loved the
house of God because he loved the God
of the house. His heart and flesh cried
out, not for the altar and the candle
stick. but for his God. True, his soul
tainted for the courts of the Lord. but
the reason was that he cried out for the
living God, saying: when shall come
and appear before Godp' Brethren, it
is well to take an interest in the place
where you gather for worship. | am
always glad when brethren are moved
to contribute towards the necessary
maintenance of the building and the
provision for its cleanliness and pro-
priety. l hate that God should be
served in slovenly way. Even the
place where we meet to worship should
show some sign of reverence for His
name. But still our respect for our
place of assembly must never degener.
ate into a superstitious reverence for
the mere structure, as though there
were some peculiar sanctity about the
spot, and prayer offered there would be
more acceptable than elsewhere. The
great object of desire must be to meet
with God Himself. In hearing, the

singing. the charm is truly to please
the Most High. In prayer, the main
object is to plead with God, and so to
speak that our cry comes up before him.
even to His ears. Let us always recol-
lect this, and never rest content with
merely going to set place Let us
reckon that we have failed if we have
not met with God. Let us come I'D
hither with strong desire for commun-
ion with the Lord in spirit and in
truth.
The Psalmist also knew right well
that the spiritual law runs through eve-
rything; he perceived that character is
an essential, not only to acceptable
worship, but to all real blessedness.
In our text he speaks not of those who
visit the temple, but of those who walk
uprightly, and trust in God. There is
no necessary blessedness in visiting tab
ernacles and temples. In all assem-
blies for worship the question is: Who
are they that gather? Are their hearts
in Gods ways? Are their souls thirstins
after God? The promises are very rich;
but to whom are the promises madef
What if they are not made to US? Then,
the richer they are the more sorrowful
VIII be our loss of them. -Spurgeon

A New Disease.

a California physician who discover
gu new disease-love madness-has
oeen experimenting with the persons
ainlcted Herewith and has produced
the =" love parasite" or bacillus mi
croccus. This he cultivated up to the
twentieth generation, and with the par
asites OF that generation he inoculated
number of subjects. The incubation
was invariably successful. symptoms of
the disease appearing in very short
time after the operation. A bachelor,
aged fifty, on the first day after inocu-
iatlon had his whiskers dyed, ordered a
suit OF new clothes and set of false
teeth, bought top buggy, a bottle of
mar restOrer, diamond ring and gui-
tar, and began reading Byron's poems.
ihe incubation produced symptoms of
the same nature in a young lady of
forty-tve. She spent five dollars at a
drug store for cosmetics, bought lot
OF new hair and a croquet set, sang
Empty is the Cradle" sent out invi-
tatlons for party. and complained
that the Chico young men do not GO
into society. An inoculated youth of
seventeen, employed in a country store,
did up gallon of molasses in a paper
bag, and also in a fit of absent-minded-
ness, put the cat in the butter tub and
threw some fresh butter out of the
window. Finally, he sat in basket of
eggs while looking at the photograph
OF pretty girl, and was discharged for
his carelessness. The Chico doctor is
still experimenting, and will soon lay
the results of his observations before
the medical world. CHICAGO Herald.
