been tried in Maryland, one or two
counties in Virginia, and in some OF
the Western States, where it has been
adopted by a vote of the people. The
writer witnessed its salutary effect in one
county in Kentucky, and this observation
impressed him with desire to see it
adopted in Virginia.
Recently a Convention met at Char
lottesville to consider this subject and
adopt measures for carrying it out in this
State. This was voluntary gathering
OF delegates from all parts of the State,
and there met ABOUT one hundred, of min
listers and laymen of all denominations.
A deep interest was manifested, and
measures and plans adopted which seem
to be practicable and promise success.
You will sea the whole scheme, its
plans and purposes, in the published pro-
ceeding of the Charlottesville Convention.

Through Life.

We slight the gifts that every season bears,
And let them fall UNDECIDED from our grasp,
In our great eagerness to reach and clasp
The promised treasure of our coming years
Or else we mourn some great good passed,
And in the shadow of our grief shut in,
Refuse the lesser good we yet might win,
The offered peace and gladness of to-day.
So through The chambers of our life we pass,
And leave them one by one and never stay;
Not knowing how much pleasantness there wa
In each, until the closing of the door
Has sounded through the house, and died away
And in our hearts we sigh, For ever more"

John Knox's Liturgy in Gaelic.

1t is well known that the great reform
er, John Knox, prepared liturgy for the
services OF the Church of Scotland in the
sixteenth century, and that it was in use
more or less till the period of the Cove
nant. 1t is, perhaps, not so well known
that 1T was also issued in Gaelic transla-
ton. The English original was pub
lished In 1865; that is, five years after
the establishment of Presbytery and the
holding of the first General Assembly in
Scotland. The Gaelic version appeared
two years afterwards, in 1867. 1t was
the work of John Carsuel, who was the
Presbyterian Superintendent of the Do
cese of Argyll. This book of prayers had
the singular merit of being the first Gaelic
BOOK ever printed in Scotland, or even in
ireland. 1t served it's day so well, and
yet was superseded so effectually, that
ten years ago, in 1872, there were only
three copies known to exist. One of these
was In possession of the Duke of Argyll,
and 1t was the only perfect copy of the
three. The University Library in Edin-
burgh and the British Museum had each
an imperfect copy. Carsuel, who trans
lated it, was native of the parish of
Kilmartin, and well versed in the litera-
ture of the Highlands
The Liturgy was used in the churches
throughout Argylshire, where the book
was followed by Calvin's Catechism and
the Synod of Argyll's translation of the
Psalter in the seventeenth century, and
the Westminster Confession of Faith and
the Larger and Shorter Catechisms with
the Summary of Christian doctrine in the
eighteenth.

Read the Bible Prayerful1v.

Let prayer not only precede and follow
your perusal of inspired truth, but let it
accompany it. In passage of singular
pathos, Mr.. Wesley has given us pic
ture of himself as he occupied himself in
his most retired hours with the Book of
God before him. 1t is the embodiment
of much sacred wisdom and simplicity of
spirit; so adduce it: "Here, then, l am
far from the busy ways of men. [ sit
down alone; only God is here. In His
presence L open, read His Book for
this end, to find the way to heaven. Is
a doubt concerning the meaning of what
l read; does anything appear dark or in
tricate-I lift up my heart to the Father
of Light: Lord, is it not Thy Word?
# any man lack wisdom, let him ask of
God. Thou givest literally, and up
braidest not. Thou hast said, If any be
willing to do Thy will, he shall know. I
am willing to do; let me know Thy will
[ then search after and consider parallel
passages of Scripture, comparing spiritu-
al things with spiritual I mediate there
on with all the earnestness and attention
Of which my mind is capable. If any
doubt still remains, I consult those who
are experienced in the things of God, and
then the writings, whereby, being dead,
they yet speak. Good Works

Rowland Hills Preaching.

Two friends once entered Surry Chapel
previous to going to India. One was
Christian, the other not. Mr.. Hill
preached from the text, eve are not ig-
norant of his devices" and told the fol-
lowing tale:
a" Many years since I met drove of
pigs In one Of the narrow streets of
large town, and, to my surprise, they
were not driven, but quietly followed
their leader. This singular fact excited
my curiosity, and I pursued the swine
until they all quietly entered the butche-
ry. [ then asked the man how he sue
ceeded in getting the poor, stupid, stub
born pigs so willingly to follow him.
when he told me the secret. He had
basket OF beans under his arms, and kept
dropping them as he proceeded, and so
secured his object. All, my dear hear
ers. the devil has got his basket of beans,
and he knows how to suit his tempta-
tons to every sinner. He drops them
by the way the poor sinner is thus led
captive by the devil at his will and if
grace prevent not, he will get him at last
into his butchery, and there he will keep
him forever. Oh it is because we are
not ignorant Of his devices that we are
anxious this evening to guard you against
them"
The Christian friend mourned over this
tale about the pigs, and feared it would
excite smile but not produce conviction
in the mind of his unbelieving compa-
MON. After the service they left the
chapel, and all was silence for season.
What a singular statement we had
tonight about the pigs, and yet how
striking and convincing it was !" re-
marked the young man. His mind was
lmpressed-he could not forget the bas-
ket of beans, the butchery, and the final
loss of the sinners soul. He left the
country, but soon after corresponded
with his friend, and referred to this SER
mon as having produced an abiding i'm
preston on his mind.

Local Option.

MeS8r8. E'ditor8,-The subject Of Local
Option, for the suppression Of bar-rooms
and liquor saloons in Virginia, is now at
tracing much attention. While it does
not aim to accomplish now all that many
friends of temperance DESIRE it proposes
a reform which, in it's practical results,
will accomplish great good, and take
from our statutes the most vicious and
disreputable laws, which license the
traffic in ardent spirits-laws which bar
ter the peace, morality, and lives Of the
citizens for revenue, and revenue which
the State does not realize when the
drawbacks for costs Of prosecutions, pri-
son fees, &c., are deducted. 1t surely
needs no argument to satisfy any reflect
ing man that the drinking saloons, 80
numerous in our State, are the most fruit
full sources Of crime, Generalization and
utter ruin to thousands. This reform has

THE Book OF IsAIAH.-To make a
great work pass into the popular mind is
not easy; but the series Of chapters at
the end Of the Book of Isaiah, the chap
ters containing the great prophecy Of
Isaiah restoration-have,a as has Hebrew
prophecy in general, but still higher
degree than any thing else in Hebrew
prophecy, one quality which facilitates
this passage for them their boundless ex-
hilaration. Much good poetry is pro-
foundly melancholy; now, the life Of the
people is such that they require Joy. If
ever that "good time coming" for which
they long, was presented with energy and
magnifcence, it is in these chapters; it is
to read them without catching

EFFEcTUAL 9RAYER.-At Fulton

stance of prevailing prayer was related.
" The last time I was here, said a gen
tleman, " one Of the requests for prayer
read thus PraF for my husbands sal
walton | shall pray for him as long as
live That was ny wife's petition Her
heart was set On my salvation. For
twenty long years she had been praying
for me, and has told me repeatedly that
if she died before I became Christian
she would spend her last breath in pray
err to God in MY behalf. Nv friends
God has heard that faithful wife's pray
ers, and has heard the prayers you Of
fered for me, and I am here to-day

The woges that sin bargains for with
the sinner are life, pleasure, and profit
but the wages it pays him are death, tor
ment, and destruction. To understand
the falsehood and deceit Of sin, we must
compare its promises and payments to-
gether."
The grand old Book Of God still stands;
and this old earth, the more its leaves are
turned over and pondered, the more it,
will sustain and illustrate the sacred
Word.
To-day if ye will hear His voice, hard
en- not your hearts. Hebrews iii: Is.
