The Church Rattle.

AS the heavy prison bolts turned on
the minister, he looked sadly on the
prisoners in their strange garments, and
thought with more and more anxiety OF
his errand. He had come to see young
man of his congregation, convicted OF
forgery. The heart-broken parents had
begged him to visit the prison, hoping
the peace of the gospel might reach even
his gloomy CELL AS the minister kindly
greeted him. the youth scarcely replied,
but gazed with sort OF defiance. He
began giving the mothers tender mes
sage, with the interest all the church felt
in his welfare. At last the prisoner
broke out, DO you know you was what
done it?"
What have done ?" replied the pas
tor, striving to understand his strange
language.
Il began the business" returned the
youth, speaking very loud, "in your Sab

The Aged Christian.

"At evening time it shall be light. "-zech
xiv. 7.
Oftentimes we look with forebodings
to the time of old age, forgetful that at
even-tide it shall be light To many
saints old age is the choicest season in
their lives A balmier air fans the mari
ner's cheek as he nears the shore of i'm
mortality; fewer waves ruffle his sea,
quiet reigns, deep. still and solemn. From
the altar of age the flashes of the fire OF
youth are gone, but the fame of more
earnest feeling remains.
The pilgrims have reached the land of
Beulah, that happy country whose days
are as the days of heaven upon earth.
Angels visit it, celestical gales blow over
it, flowers of paradise grow in it, and the
air is filled with seraphic music. Some
dwell here for years, and others come to
it but few hours before their depart
ure, but it is an Eden on earth. We may
recline in its shady groves, and be sat-
isfed with hope until the time of fruition
comes.
The setting sun seems larger than
when aloft in the sky, and splendor OF
glory tlnges all the clouds which sur
round all his going down. Pain breaks
not the sweet calm of twilight of age, for
strength made perfect in weakness bears
ur with patience under it all. Ripe fruits
of choice experience are gathered as the
rare repast of LIES evening, and the soul
prepares itself for rest.
The Lords people shall also enjoy
light in the hour of death. Unbelief
laments, the shadows fall, the night is
coming, existence is ended. All no,
crieth faith, the night is far spent, the
day is at hand. Light is come, the light
of Immortality, the light of a Father s
countenance. Gather up the feet in the
bed; see the waiting band of spirits. An
gels watt thee away. Farewell, beloved
one, thou art gone, thou wavest thy hand.
All now it is light. The pearly gates
are open, the golden streets shine in the
jasper light. We cover cur eyes, but
thou beholdest the unseen adieu, broth.
err, thou hast light at even tide such as
we have not yet.
"Oh, long expected day, begin.
Dawn on these realms of woe and sin;
Fain would we tread the appointed road
And sleep in death and wake with God"
Gpmrgeon.

Dead.

BY REV. W. ]. NJ CORD, wAssAIC, N. Y.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid.-Col.
iii: 3, 4.
Just as if our life was taken away from
us and hid. Dead, and yet alive. Men
are dead, and yet alive; they are alive,
and yet dead. All men are by nature
dead in sin-dead in trespasses and sins,
and yet they are alive, not to God, but
to sin, and In the possession OF natural
life. Christians are quickened- made
alive from death in sin-spiritually alive
and yet they are dead. Ye are dead.
They are dead to the law, not as rule
of life, but as covenant of life. There
is no life by the law it works wrath, it
condemns to death-death eternal to
every unrepenting transgressor.
Christians are dead to the law as a
covenant, and dead to sin it no longer
has dominion over them-they do not
live in lido not enjoy it they are dead
to it. They are dead to the woodland
dead to self. They do not follow the
world do not live for disqualification.
Ye are dead.
Dead, yet alive Your life is hid
with Christ in God Christians have a
new and spiritual life it comes from
God it is hid with Christ in God-crea-
ted anew in Christ Jesus. AS this life
comes from God, it is hid with him from
the world as to the origin Of it-as to the
principle Of it--as to the support of it.
as to the end Of it, AS it came from God,
it tends to him, and ends in everlasting
Joy in him. Hence it is added, When
Christ who is our life, shall appear, then
shall ye also appear with him in glory.
This may well sustain us in all our trials
here it should lead us to seek constant
supplies Of grace, that we may live near
to God and enjoy his presence and favor
here and be with him forever hereafter.

Who Has the Happy Old Man -?

l met him one day on his way to the
place where prayer was wont to be said.
He had just passed that milestone of
life, labelled Seventy-fve years" His
back was bent, his limbs trembled beside
his staff; his clothes were old, his voice
was husky, his hair was white, his eyes
were dim, and his face was furrowed.
Wlthal he seemed still fond of life and
full of gladness, not at all put out with
his lot He hummed the lines OF a
familiar hymn, as his legs and cane car
ried him along
" aged friend" said I, why should
an old man be so merry and cheerful p
All are not, said he
" We'll, why, then, should you be mer-
ry?"
" Because I belong to the Lord
Are none other happy at your time
OF life ?"
4" No, not one, my friendly questioner, .
said he; and as he said more, his form
Strengthened into the stature of his
younger days, and something of inspira-
ton set beautiful glow upon his coun-
tenance. " Listen, please, to the truth
from one who knows, then wing it round
the world, and no man of over three
scores years and ten shall be found to
gainsay my words-the deUiI has no
happy old men. "-E'rchange

A Model Minister.

It's not often that we find a minister
describing himself and his style and pull
pit ability as this one did recently to a
church in Indiana that needed pastor
and was looking around for the right
man. He hailed from New York, and
thus described himself: /" am Prince
ton Presbyterian of the sainted DR..
Hodge type, a little past middle life,
with constitution and health of the very
best; not married have been preaching

with tinge of Scotch-Irish and Plymouth

ing against fire, the latter against the gulf

inches tall neither stout nor lean, as $50
pounds avoirdupois testifes; side whisk
ers of fair size, of genial turn, with a
keen eye for the humorous and ridicu-
lous, and am sure of three classes of
friends children, darkies, and dogs

because l treat them kindly. AS read

Profound spiritual knowledge is neces-
sary in order to teach others Every
man is teacher whether he will be or
not; and every man ought to feel the i'm
portance and privilege of being able to
give his fellow-men some help, however
small, out of the darkness into the light.
1t is not only the duty of preachers and
professors and editors and authors to
teach, but parents owe it to their chill
dren, and evary man and woman in the
conversation of society to every other
man or woman.-ReU. DR.. Deems.

RECoLLEcTIoNs OF ARTHUR PEHRHYN STANLEY,
LATE L Fan OF WESTMINSTER. Three lectures
delivered in Edinburgh in November, 1882.
By G. G Bradley, D. D.. Dean of Westmin-
ster New York: Charles Scribner's Sons.
1888. Price 81. For sale by West, John
ston Co., Richmond, Va.
The author of these lectures, who is the sue
cessor of Dean Stanley at Westminster had pc
culiar facilities in the preparation of them. He
was The intimate friend of Dean Stanley, and
moreover was thoroughly qualified for his work
by the perusal of all the writings of his friend.
he was also in full sympathy with his views
on almost all important subjects. The first lee
ture covers the period of Stanley's life from his
birth, in 1875 to his settlement as tutor at Ok
ford University in 1910. The second from 1910
to 1863, the time of his appointment as Dean of
Westminster; and the third, which is by far the
most interesting relates to his life and labors at
Westminster
1t liz in this last lecture that the author treats
of Dean SANKEY'S Theological position and of
his attitude towards other churches and denom-
nations. SANKEY'S catholic spirit all must ad-
mire, but his Liberal Theology" led him to
attach far too little Importance to evangelical
doctrine, and TO sympathize with dangerous
errors

The Empress of Russias favorite fur
is sable; the Empress of Austro-H Hungary
will have nothing but astrachan, while
her daughter-in-law, the Archduchess
Stephanie, wears only otter. The Queen
of Roumania cares little what fur she
wears, so it be gray in color; while the
Queen of Holland prefers marten and
Her Majesty of Spain bestows her
patronage upon the beaver Some one
thinks that, if the United States had a
queen, she would probably wear seal
skin.

A New Race of Africans.

The following are some extracts from
the Berlin correspondence of the London
Telegraph, describing the discovery of
new and more enlightened African peo-
pie: German explorers have thrown so
much light on the immense tract of coun-
try situated between eighteen and twenty
degrees east of Greenwich and one and
eight degrees S. l.. to the south of the
great bend of the Congo, that it may in
terest your readers to hear a short &C.
count of what has been done by them.
They unveil to us the existence of
Utopia, where strangers are gratuitously
supplied with food, and they reveal that
the Bassonge, subjects of King Katshitsh,
a strong and handsome race in densely
populated country teeming with natural
produce, excel In artistic manufacture of
workmanship of various kinds, in wood,
clay, copper and iron, weaving stuffs out
of the Mabele PLAN, and showing skill in
basket-making Wissmann declares that
no foreign influence has ever touched them
The Utopia has received the honorary
epithet OF Lubuku, that is Friendship,
but its real name is Casselange; its in
habitants are called Tusselange, and their
principal chief, Makenge, resides not far
from the confluence of the Lulua and the
Kassai. Pogge tells us that the inhabi-
tants of one village, or sometimes OF sew
eral villages, can be looked upon as
family, for each inhabitant is treated by
the rest as relation, and one member Of
the community stands by another for
better and for worse. The kings hospi-
tality went so far that he accompanied
his guests distance about as great as
from Berlin to Dantzic-not having re-
ceived any present except brass chain,
supplemented by the promise Of music
al box in case DR.. Pogge should reach
the Lualaba, and return thence in safety. "
After describing the details of DR.. Pogge s
difficult journey up some of the great
rivers of the interior, the account con-
tinues: " Thus, after sixty-two days Jour
ney from Kimbundu, DR.. Pogge arrived
alone, on October Both, 1881, at Maken-
ges place of residence, situated under
SIX degrees and ten minutes S. L., rather
more than twenty-five degrees east of
Greenwich. He describes the Tusselange
as capital farmers. Everywhere around
he saw broad fields of fine mondioca,
maize, millet, earth-nuts or beans. To-
bacco and hemp are both grown for smok-
ing. Their country is fertile and well
irrigated undulating plain between the
rivers Kassai and Lulua, covered in q
large measure by large forests, in the
midst of which are prairies. which the
inhabitants cultivate, and where they
build their villages. The climate, though
warm, is salubrious. In the first days of
December DR.. Pogge and Lieutenant
Wissmann met again, and about the mid
die of the month they reached the Lake
Mukamba On January 9Th, 1882, they
reached the Lubi, fine tributary Of the
Lubilash, and in the midst Of splendid
tropical vegetation they saw villages
arise, where in clean and roomy dwell
ings, with gardens neatly hedged in,
forming streets as straight as an arrow,
the Bassonge live under the shadow Of
palm trees and bananas.
