popular" Preaching.

The Christian Commonwealth of London
makes the following remarks in consider
alton of the point whether the sermons
which are the most popular are the most
useful: "And this leads us to the consid-
Grafton of the point whether the sermons
which are most popular are most use
full. We believe that, as a rule, this is de.
cidedly not the case. AS things go now
a-days, popularity is not great recon-
mendation to either preacher or SER
mon. There are, unfortunately, many
ambitious and self-seeking men in the
pulpit who make it their first aud last aim
to secure popularity. No artifce is too
mean, no stratagem too crafty, no methods
too unworthy, if by resorting to them they
may become famous. They will distort
the truth, present it in false colors, or
suppress is altogether, if by so doing
they can tickle the ears, and win the
plaudits of those who listen to them.
Very often they attain their end; they
become popular; they have their reward.

would, as rule, point to the popular

EXPRESSMEN LIABLE.

MR.. A. s. MERRILL, the popular expressman
of Brunswick, Maine, writes us on Nav 18th.
1888, as follows: Having been severely af-
ficted for about two years with inflammation
of the kidneys and bladder, so called by nv
physicians, ] suffered with distressing pains in
my back and retention of urine, caused by q
stoppage Of the neck of the bladder, and a
complication of other diseases. | was hardly
able to attend to my business, and at times
would be completely Frustrated | was also
affected with iucontinence of urine to an alarm
ing degree; indeed, it demanded my attention
fifteen or twenty times per night, and at times
it would seem impossible for me to ride down

preacher as a model of what the Chris.
tian minister should be. Exceptions
there are; but they are exceptions and
they are very rare ones, too. The true
preacher is often most unpopular, and he
is unpopular because he is true. This
was the case with jeremiah and Paul, and
it has been the case with faithful men in
all ages since their time. The false
teachers who set themselves up as rivals
of the Apostle Paul were more popular
than he, and it was one of the greatest
troubles of his life that they were so.
But who would say that because they
were more popular they were more sue
cessful, and more worthy of honor And
yet this is precisely what is affirmed in
our day. The modern church worships
the fetch of success-pot genuine, but
spurious success. Aud success is meas
ured by popularity, by the extent of
mans following, and by the numbers of
people who throng his chapel or church.
All this is radically un.Christian. Any
thing more opposed to the teachings Of
Christ, and to the spirit and methods of
the apostles, it would be impossible to
conceive. For this state Of things hear
ers are mainly to blame. Now, as Of old,
men aud women calling themselves Chris
tisns turn away from the God.sent apostle
and his message, to follow false teachers
who have smooth tongues and elastic con-
sciences. We are witnessing the fulfill
ment of the apostolic prediction. The
people, having itching ears, are turning
away from the truth and those who teach it,
and are heaping to themselves false teach
ers, who better minister to their per-
verified tastes. No doubt the latter are
most popular with people who do not
relish the unadulterated truth of the gos-
pei, plainly and faithfully expounded ;
but people who understand the matter
will never confound the popularity of
these men with true success. We con-
tend that the sermons of to-day are
neither inferior to, nor less popular than,
those of former times, if we have regard
to the judgment and testimony of re-
newed men and women. And as for the
opinion of those who are unregenerate and
carnal, they are utterly out of court in rela-
ton to question like this"

How to Meet Temptation.

We mistake the matter, if we think our
Savior did not feel the force of Satan's
various temptations. Had he not done so,
he would not have been tempted in all
points like as we are. We do not under
stand the union between the divine and
human natures of Christ. We must first
take what we find upon the subject, and
limit our curiosity by the amount of that
which is written, and this much is GER
tain, that he suffered being tempted. He
had all the pain of struggle to undergo !;
and it was by obedience in the face of
difficulty, high and sustained exercise
of principle in the face of allurements by
the force of dutiful sentiment rising su-
perior to all that the tempter and the
world could muster to oppose it, that he
repelled each temptation of the adversary.
Did he enter into deliberate process of
calculation, or hesitate for a moment
between the call of dnty to God and an
act of homage to Gods presumptuous ri
val, on the rendering of which all the
glory which dazzled round him was offered
to crafty and reward him No; he does
not appear to have ventured himself with
the alluring representation for moment,
but with all the jealousy of quick alarm
does he by one summary act dismiss the
whole OF the catering temptation from
him, T." Get you hence, Satan; cannot
entertain your proposal for single mo-
ment; )" and with quotation from Script
ure, the very measure with which he re-
PEELED every former assault. does he tell
him that he must worship the Lord his
God, and him only must he serve. If he
would not trhe or delay, or make any
parrying with temptation, how much
more Incumbent is it upon us to be prompt
and decisive in our measures with it If
even the mighty captain of our salvation
would not trust himself with the indul-
gence of that superb spectacle that was
30 much fitted to regale the imagination,
how much more ought we to dismiss from
our thoughts the countless varieties that
are ever obtruding themselves, and offer
ing to take possession of the inner man ?
Keep no measures with temptation. Your
safety lies in shutting it out and dismiss
ing it from your thoughts. When any
gay or fattering imagination gets hold of
you-be it wealth, to seduce you from
your integrity, or to withdraw you from
your present humble but safe employ
ments to some track of ruinous ambition
or, be it pleasure, to steal your hearts to
some object of idolatrous affection or
be it fashion, to tempt you to some act of
unlawful conformity to world lying in
Notwithstanding of your calling, you
are the servant of the Lord and be ever
ready to dismiss the evil suggestion with
the answer, az must worship the Lord
my God, and him only must serve."-

HoME-BRE WE'D BEER.
3 harvest Of rich and golden sheaves

The harvest Of rich and golden sheaves
Had been safely gathered in
From the well-tilled fields of Farmer Brown
And the feast and mirth begin.
There good roast beef there were puddings rich
Aud plenty Of wholesome cheer;
But the glasses filled from the crystal spring,
Instead of with home brewed beer.
And visitors wondered TO see the change,
For william Browns farmhouse
Had long and far been famed for the skill
OF his clever thrifty spouse.
And specially WIS., II whispered round
In homesteads far and near,
That none to beat her could be found
In her tap OF home-hrewed beer
I'm tell you, my friends" the father said,
Az he met inquring eyes,
Why water Instead of home brewed-beer
To day each glass supplies.
MY 1rst-born son, dear to my heart
Words cannot tell how dear
To-day a homeless wanderer roams
Because of our home-brewcd beer.
q" He learned to love II whilst boy,
And the taste grew with his years;
saw his danger when too late,
sought with bitter tears
To win my boy, my frst-born, back
From the power Of the deadly snare
But all in vain-he cared for naught
But to quaff the accused beer.
" One day when drink had made him mad,
And passion had made me wild,
struck him, and he returned the blow,
And savagely fought my child.
cast him forth from his chdhood's home,
banished him-though twas here
He had learned to love the dangerous taste
OF his mothers home-brewed beer.
But oh since then my stricken heart
Hath enlightened my once dark eyes
To see my folly and, though so late,
To choose a course wise
No child of mine again shall learn
From father or mother here,
Nor servant be taught by me to love
The taste OF home brewed beer"

God OF the mountains and the wales,
The placid lakes, the rolling seas,
The summer zephyrs. winter gales,
The lowly flowers and lofty trees;
Creator Savior, heavenly Friend,
To thee In praise our hearts ascend.
We praise thee that at thy command,
The universe In beauty rose;
That, held by thy almighty hand,
The vast creation finds repose
That all thy works shall ever be.
With kindly care sustained by thee,
We praise thee for redeeming love
That made the sinless Son Of God
An exile from the world above
To ransom rebels with his blood
That sinful souls may freely claim

The Defect of the New Version.

In the October Century, Professor George
p. Fisher of Yale writes forcibly of "Mar-
tin Luther, after Four Hundred Years."
and compares the new version with Lu-
theirs translation of the Bible, to the det-
riment of the new, as follows He was
determined to issue not colorless YER
sion, or version enervated by idiomatic
peculiarities of the Hebrew and the
Greek, or pedantic version, ineligible
and interesting only to the cultivated, but
rather translation which should make
the Bible appear to have been written in
German. He gives amusing accounts of
the struggles it cost him to make the sa-
cred writers speak German In dealing
with Job, especially, his patience was
well-nigh exhausted. No one could under
stand what it had cost him to make Job
'reden DeutSch.' But he succeeded. In
his version, the apostles and prophets
'reden DeutSch, '-the Deutsch of the shop,
of the market, and the hearthstone. Luz
theirs Bible is living book. If the re-
cent English revision of the authorized
version, admirable in various particulars
fails at any point, it is just here. There
is lack Of freedom in the Incorporation
of English idioms; in word, there is an
undue servility. So far as translation
fails to give the force and beauty of the
original, it is incorrect. Close adhesion
to grammar and lexicon, in many in.
stances, may be the cause of greater loss
than gain. We must have the spirit az
we'll as the letter of the text. If we can
