He who is godly is both diamond and a
loadstone-a diamond for the sparkling of
his grace, and losdstone for his attractive
virtue in drawing others to the love of Gods
precepts. A good man benefits others more
than himself-[T. Watson.
Ever since Christianity began to be un-
derstood, the best Judgment of mankind
has acknowledged with admiration that all
its requirements make for the liberation Of
the soul from sin and it's restoration, at
length, to the image of God which it had
at the beginning. Il Morning S.ar.

How to save the Sabbath from desecra-
ten is question pressing for settlement.
No doubt if the Saturday half holiday could
be secured, the excuse of the laboring
classes for pleasure-seeking on Sunday
would have less force. Those who toll six
days in week do need soma recreation.
They should have it. If it is impossible
for them to enjoy it on week day, they
naturally take 1t on Sunday. Give them
this half day and this will be one step to-
wards the saving and the perpetuating Of
sacred institution. Il The Watch Tower.
We must not offer to God except of our
best. 1t must be the Doblest, as for him
who is noble beyond word or thought and
it must bs the noblest, as ennobling us who
serve him, and making US more like himself.
1t must be the happiest of services. For
nal Joy ? All that is right and happy comes
from him. Our ownership must be happy
in itself, and must be such as while it glad.

We are convinced that the urgent need
of the world to day is the sending forth by
the Lord Himself of witnesses who shall be
content to repeat the experiment Of Pente-

I have derived very great advantage, per-

never perceive any kind of joy, or finely
woven or embroidered experience of any
kind, that it does not bring to me some
new revelation. Therefore God ceases to
be an abstract being, or an epitome OF GER
tain philosophical qualities, and is real
personal being, made up, though we are
not able to see it, of all the fountain-heads
of all fine experiences, conpanionships in
love, elements of heroism and beauty,
whatever is desired by the soul of man in
it's higher relations and my soul aspires to
him. Aspiration in us is like the babes
mouth that seeks the mothers bosom and
when we aspire we seek the bosom of God.
If my beloved dies it goes back to God,
the fountain of love. Kindness, goodness.
sympathy and qualities like these, are,
after all, bat emblems, feebly shining, Of
ideas which have their reality in God. In
every possible relation of hfs there is a
glancing point which directs us toward the
great heart OF God-[H. w. Beecher.
