BRIGHTER DAYS.



o sweet, sad heart why all this sish.n-.
Ia life to thee weary day;
Are withered hopes around thee lying,
Like faded flowers in autumn dying,
All along the gloomy way ?
Have morning friends their love bestOwing.
Turned cOldly from thee ere twas n0Ou.
Thy castles once in beauty growing,
Iy singing waters softly flowing;
In ashes DER thy pathway strewn
Cheer up, sad heart, the sun is shining,
Tho heavy clouds obscure its light;
Cease now thy sorrow and repining,
Those clouds have all silver lining,
Tomorrow may be fair and bright.
No DAY so dark, no night so dreary,
But brighter days will dawn again:
The saddest heart with earth grown weary.
Not always will in doubtful query,
Question why this grief and pain.
Beyond beacon light is burning:
Look up, sad heart and sigh no more,
Thy cross though heavy never spurninR,
A ieweled crown to-day thou't earning,
Thy darkest days will soon be DER.

NOT BIGoTnY.-We cannot respect tic man
who does not love his Church. lie seems to
lack qualities that are essential to good
character. He is like one who does not care
for his early home, or his own premises, or
family and tireside. To say the easiest thing
possible of him, he must be a person of chilly
disposition, who is incapable of deep feeling,
and who lives without real affection for any
thing. It's history should be dear to him he
should live among the influences that come
down to him through the statements of its
connexion with the past. Its workshop, work,
fellowship, aims and destiny should all rest
Oh his heart, and enter into the feeling that
gives prompting 20 his life, they should help
make him the man of God, the child Of his
Father, that he cliims to be. There is a big
oted way of being member of a Church-a
sectarian way, that is unintelligent and IRA
tonal; but there is generous, intelligent,
thorough, intlexible way that is as beautiful
as it is true. The man who takes it up and
lives according to it will not only be better
member of his own denomination, but he will
also be better Christian and a man of great
er moral power Oh those about him.-Unitcd

CREATION.

In a theological point of view, it is impor-
tant to have clear and distinct notion with
regard to creation. There are two theories
respecting the fact. The one may be denomi-
mated the Bible theory, the other the anti-Bihle
theory. These theories, although there are
some striking coincidents, are directly opposed
to each other. The Bible doctrine is that God
made the world, calling it into existence by An
exercise of his almighty power. This CON-
ports with right reason. Surely no one, who
believes in the existence of Supreme Being,
and who believes that he is almighty, will deny
that he is able to do anything that is not in
consistent with the holiness of his own nature.
The infdel or anti-Bible theories, are many
and not consistent with each otha. Some of
those who reject the Bible account Of the crea-
ton, hold that there is no such being as God
in the Universe. According to this class of
persons there is nothing but matter. Spirit,
they say, is nothing but matter highly purified.
Others hold views the very opposite Of these.
This class hold that there is no such thing as
matter in the Universe. All is spirit. What
we call matter, even i'll its most crude state, is
only q mental delusion.
Another class of those who reject the Bible
account of creation maintain that the world
was not brought into existence at once, bnt
that it is the result of a long course of devel-
opment. That certain germs, during count
less centuries, have been passing through astate
of evolution, and the result is what we see.
All the theories respecting creation, except
the account which we have in the Bible, are
very foolish. The object Of those who hold
them seems to be to reason God out of the
Universe.
From the Bible we learn that God made the
world out of nothing. Not that he used Doth-
ing as the material out of which to produce
the world, but that by the exercise of his al
mighty power he brought all things into exis-
tence-nothing having previously existed.
TO this doctrine many objections may be
raised, but those that cannot be answered are
either foolishly absurd, or are not capable Of
being understood by finite minds.

EXTENSIVE FEET.-Ex-Congressma Bill
Slemmonds tells of pair of feet that must
have been objects of great regard in their day.
One day party of men including Jackson,
the man of big feet, were preparing to attend
political barbecue. 1t was soon discovered
that there was no way of conveying Jackson,
as all the vehicles were full.
Let me ride that mule over there ?" asked
Jackson.
''There isn't man in the world that can
ride that animal. He'll work to buggy or
plow, but 10 man can stay on his back"
"I'll try him any way" and the determined
man instructed several negroes to catch the
mule and hold him. The animal plunged and
kicked, but finally Jackson secured seat in
the saddle. Every one expected to see him
dashed against the ground, but the mule look
cd around, saw the mans feet, and walked
peacefully away. He thought he was between
a pair of shafts.-Arkansap Traveller.

A CASE OF MIT1aATED AFFL1cT1oN.--Not
long since Wakefield Stsrkey, of Austin, while
crossing the track of the International and
Great Northern Railroad on valuable mule,
was struck by the locomotive and killed. The
mule was also hurled into eternity. Wake
field Starkey, although a perfect gentleman
on the street, was domestic tyrant OF the
deepest dye. Without any provoeation what
in the wardrobe hence, when she heard of
his death, it was not so much a case of heavy
bereavment as it was of migitated aff1iction.
As the engineer OF the locomotive was clearly
to blame for the accident, it was suggested to
the widow that she bring suit for damages.
She resolved to do SO, and called at the Office
Of the railway company. The proper official
happened to be in. The widow had such q
clear case against the company that 1t was
deemed advisable to compromise the matter.
"Now, madam" said the official, after the
widow had thrown back her veil and stated her
business, 1--WE are willing to do what is fair in
this matter. There is really no occasion to
go to law. 1t is delicate subject to discuss
so think without going into the merits of it.,
will tender you check for 5000, and you
will sign a paper releasing the company from
all further demands.
The widow started, and asked: "How
much ?''
II am authorized to pay you S3,0O0."
81 accept" she said, very much agitated.
The check was hsndedover,. the papers sign
ed, and the widow walked out in the. street in
a bewildered frame of mind. AS she cashed
her check, she said to herself confdentially :
II didn't expect to get more than $50. l
reckon that railroad fellow didn't know how
old the mule was.''
1t had never occurred to her that she had
sustained any loss in the death of her husband.
On the other hand, the railroad official said
to one of the clerks: "The company is get
ting off dirt cheap. We usually have to pay
$1,000 for running over husbands" "
It did not occur to him that the widow had
sustained any loss whatever in the death of
the valuable mule.-1sras SJJtin9s.

SIN AND GRACE-"Whosoeve believeth
shall not perish" Pardon depends, for its
extent, not on the measure or magnitude Of
your guilt, but on that Of Gods mercy.
''Where sin abounded, grace did much more
abound!' You ought to be not discouraged
by the vastness of your sins, but encouraged
by the vastness of Gods lore. 'Be merciful
unto me, O God, according to thy loving
kindness" The mercies of God out-number
your iniquites: According to the multitude
of thy tender mercies, blot ont my trangres-
sons." Grace is absolute-not depending on
anything out of ltself for it's forthgoing, its
extent, and it's operation. 1t acts, lot accor-
ding to the nature of sin as more or less helm
GUS and aggravated, but only according to its
own nature rs free sovereign grace. If, then,
you measure out to- yourselves the hope of for
giveness in proportion to the measure OF your
guilt, you do not yet know what grace is, nor
do you seek salvation exclusively by grace
