Pure Religion and indebted

There is kind of benevOlence which
aims to commune with God by the
mere payment of money. 1t is not so
cruel as to leave the widow and orphan
(who are the Apostles types of the
needy and dependent classes) to starve.
Therefore it contributes to found asy-
lums and establish Orphanages but
the personal pdthy-which is more
To the suffering often than silver and
gold it is too indolent or too selfish
to bcstOw. Christ eXemplified the
power of personal attention when he
went to lodge with the social outcast,
Zacchcus, when he dined with Simon
the leper, and when he led the poor
blind man out of the town. Christ
taught the secret of all successful char
ity, yes, and of all successful effort
To win sinners to the gospel of salvation.

Here is Il hint for Sunday school teach

that it is enough to put greenbacks in
To the contribution-bO and begrudge

tians in our land would divide up the
poor and vicious among themselves,

after one or more, we could dispense

The VcstibuIe Of the Sabbath.

in some places still obtains, that Sun

again until the dawn of Monday. Sun
day evening is IL time of peculiar and
sacred enjoyment which it were pow

favor of peaceful and TeligiOusly

As it is, with too many of us, Satur-
day evening is time of numbering
cares. There are ever so many last
things to do before we can write

spiritual preparedness for the divine
presence.
All Saturday evening occupation,

To enervate the mind, is a mistake in
religious arithmetic. 1t is subtrac-

dition and multiplication. DIR. Arnot
of Scotland used To enjOin upon his
flock the duty of spending the hour at
home, just before church-time, in
quietness, in prayer, Bible study or
meditation. Ii was good and wise ad-

And every step seemed feebler than the last.

foreign body slips into the windpipe,
and produces serious mischief. In the
we'll known case of the late Mr.. Bru-
mel, the eminent engineer, whose life
was endangered by an accident of this
kind, it arose from his performing a
coniuring trick with IA half-sOvereign

to his windpipe. When the foreign
body becomes fixed in the upper part
of the windpipe, or larynX, so as to
