The Ideal Sabbath.

The ideal Sabbath is the Sabbath at home
when the head of the household-farmer or
mechanic, merchant or lawyer, capitalist or
operative-eDjoys the weekly rest among
those for whom the six days of labor have
been spent. Whether the Sabbath institu-
ton was or was not created by the fourth
commandment, there seems to be in those
words, "Thou, nor thy son, nor thy daugh-
ter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-ser-
vant," glimpse of the restful enjoyment
which the day Of rest, in the primitive con-
ception of it, would bring to the families
that keep it. The day Of rest being rest
and not revelry or dissipation, and being
therefore day of home enjoyment, brings
with it the opportunity for sober thoughts
and conference. A Sabbathkeeping people
will become thoughtful people, and such
thoughtfulness is manliness. All men and
especially the busy millions in an advanced
civilization like our own, need for the
minds sake, not less than for the sake Of
the wearied nerves and muscles, the seventh
day intermission Of their ordinary work. A
true Sabbath is something far more restful
than day of noisy jollity. In its calm air
the mind rests by thought, not thoughtless-
ness-by quiet musing, by conscious or I'M
conscious retrospection perhaps by consid-
GRAFTON of what might have been, perhaps
by thinking what may yet be, perhaps by
aspiration and resolve toward something in
the future that shall be better than what has
been in the past. The home in which Sun
day is day of rest and home enjoyment is
hallowed by the Sabbaths which it hallows.
In the Sabbath-keeping village life is less
frivolous, and at the same time industry is
more productive, for the weekly rest. A
Sabbath-keeping nation is greater in peace
and in war for the character which its tran
quill and thoughtful Sabbaths have i'm
pressed upon it.-Rfu. Dr.. Bacon.

Rejoicing In Sorrow.

10 rejoice in sorrow seems in one view to
be proof OF impaired mentality. Surely a
sufferer ought to be sad. But the apostle,
who teaches to count it all JOY" knew the
human heart. Faith, like ali other powers,
must have exercise to gain strength and
skill. A wounded soldier, with his left hand
writing his first letter after the right arm
was lost, tells us that he took such delight
in the ability to use the left hand that this
first letter was addressed TO his mother. He
thought that nothing else had ever given
him so much pleasure, 1t was the discovery
of an unused capacity. Just so one may
find joy in the power to believe in the dis.
tressful hours. A captain, who driven by
storms in the darkness, saw with the first
light the teeth of the breakers lying near
and wrathfully foaming, cast anchor and
found strange JOY when the anchor held
the ship firmly just without the Jaws of
death. So Christian finds joy when the
anchor of hope holds him in the DAYS of
tempest. So far it is easy to see. Faith
sees farther. The Lords love is most pre-
cious when our needs drive us close to his
blessed heart. We know its value-as too
often we know other love-best when it is
our only solace and hope. To have found
the sweetness of Gods love pays for the
pain that drove us to seek it, Weknow that
we are better, and that makes US happier
We know the love of God and that converts
defeat into victory and distress into reioc
ing.-Methodist.

However enticing the outdoor beauty, Mr..

" Let Your Light so ShIne."

Rev. Spencer Compton relates the follow.

as the sea was rising, and | was but poor
sailor. Suddenly the cry of Man over

Meek Christians.

The late and widey-lamented DR.. Punshon
was accustomed to say, in his celebrated
lecture on Daniel in prison, Religion is
not a salad, that it should be dressed in
vinegar His object was to show that
true Christian is joyous and amiable at all
times, and under all circumstances, and for
the reason that it is the nature Of saving
grace, in defiance of every adversely, to in
spire Joy and sweetness. This future in
our salvation is not sufficiently incorporated
into our daily experiences. How much sad,
sour religion there is in the world At best,
in many cases. it is but sweetened vinegar
The native bitterness of the heart is not
taken away, but simply counteracted. 1t is
like the preserved crab-apple, whose nature
is not changed, but overcome by sugar
take away the sugar, and the acid is still
there. Some Christians seem not to expect
grace to do more for them than TO hold their
asperities in check. Some Christian people
mad, provided they do not make fools of
themselves. They are willing to carry a
volcano in their bosom, if only they can gov
ern the eruptions. Indeed, there are many
recognized Christians, not excepting some
preachers, who evidently "make provision
for the flesh " in respect to indulgence of
angry tempers. When provoked, or i'm
pugned, or even spoken to with Impotence
and evaporation, they expect to retalate in
kind. They are harsh and angular-the op.
posite of meekness. There is a gruffness
and rigidity in their manner; an acrimony
in their spirit pungent, biting sarcasm
in their words. Like hunters in the woods
they trip and ogle around for something to
shoot at. Their very souls are pugnacious
Now, is this the spirit of Christ Is this
the doctrine of his sermon on the mount
Is not meekness as really fruit of the Spirit
as faith or love ? Is it not an essential ee-
ment in our spiritual and divine attain
ments Can we dispense with it, and have
a true Christian experience at all Does
not the want of meekness blur the whole
character, blast our usefulness, and project
doubts into the minds of sinners as to the
power of grace and reality of religion
Many amiable sinners, by dint of resolution,
and for the sake of good manners, keep their
passions under. In the face of such exam
pies, shall the subjects of grace spit, and
fzz, and fume, and boil over, and explode
with fits of anger ? Let it not be said, by
way of apology, that such persons have an
impulsive nature, a sanguine temperament
"a positive side to their character. No, no.
1t is sin. 1t is the fruit of remaining carnal-
ity. 1t is the proof of an unsanctifed ma
ture. 1t is disgrace to the Christian name.
