BEGIN WITH THE CHILDREN,


When God determined to make Him
a church ON earth, He "called Abra-
ham alone, and blessed him and in
creased him He did not choose q
great nation, and by mighty works and
preaching endeavor to build a great
churr h at once. He took one man, and
promised that he should become a
mighty nation, because He Knew him
that he would command his children
and his household after him, that they
should keep the way Of the Lord. AT.
forwards, when he gave written law
to men, He commanded that they
should teach it to their children.
The wisdom of this often repeated
command is shown, not only in the
past history of Isiael, but in the ex'
istence of the Jews today. If Hebrew
parents permitted their children tt
grow up in ignorence of the tenets o
religion, and to stray about Sunday
school to Sunday school. and from
church to church, according to theil
own whims, how long would Judaism
cont ntinue to exist ?
If Christian parents discharge theil
duty to their caildren, there would b.
less complaint about feeble congrega
tions. Gods way is the best, let III
then follow it, and train up the chill
dren in the nurture and admOnitioD o
the Lord, and in knowledge Of tn,
doctrine, discipline, and worship of thu
church.

One of the famous preachers of the

was startling ard dramatic, but his

The king once asked Bourdalone, the
great pulpit orator of Notre Dame, his
opinion of OnoratO. "Sire," was the
reply, " that preacher tickles indeed

SETTLE DISPUTES WITH PRAYER.

Two neighbors, cooper and farmer,
were spending the evening together.
Both were professors Of religion, but of
different cOmmunions. Their eOnver-
sation was first upon topics relating to
practical religion but after a time it
diverged to the point of difference be-
tween the two denominations to which
they belonged 1t first became dis
cussion, and then dispute. The cooper
was the first to perceive its unprof table
and injurious tendency, and remarked
"We are springing apart from each
other; lei us Put on another hOoF-let
US pray"
They knelt down and prayed togeth-
or, after whick they spent the re-
mainder OF the evening lovingly to-
gether, conversing on the things Of the
kingdom in which they both felt an
equal interest. The suggestion Of the
cooper was an excellent one, and it
were well If acted on more frequently
by those who, like him, are members of
the household of Christ.

His integrity and ability are uni.

The Selection Of Em mpl Oy mo en- l..

One of the practical subjects of life,
upon which a more scientific habit OF
thought is destined to throw great light,
is the selection of employment with ref
erence TO the special fitness Of the in.
d vidual. At present the selection is
generally made from confused mix.
ture of circumstances, chances, ambi'
tions, and whims. Some people drift into
their occupations with the current OF
events that happen to flow in the direc'
ton at that particular time; some eager
ly grasp what they think lucky
chance; some follow the dictates of pa.
rental ambition; some choose what prom
ises an easy time, or speedy gains.
Some there are, undoubtedly, who paus,
to consider what 1t is they can do best
but even of these how few there are who
come to any correct decision upon In
telligeut and substantial grounds! The
chief element that enters into theil
thoughts is :heir preference for pur
suit. This is often difficult to discover
and may prove to be mere fancy or
desire for some supposed advantage tc
be secured, rather than any sure tOtker
of talent. There is one test of fitness
which might be applied in this matter
with benefit. 1t is the quality of our.
memory, or rather the special direction
lin which 1t exCels.
