Christianity is the history of ben.
eficent legislation, of humane and
philanthropic institutions, of pure and
elevated morality, of national and ind
vidual progress. It is the single poten-
tialforce in the world to-day. Buddhism
Confucianism, Mohammedanism, need
only to be tested by the degraded and.
hopeless condition of their hundreds Of
millions of votaries to show their lacl
of vital power. In Japan, the mostcivs
ilized of Buddhistic countries, the fail.
ure of Buddhism is most conspicuous
Travellers picture the Japanese as peo.
pie without religion and without hone.
A current and favorite proverb is that
the worst thing you can wish a manist o
live again As the old faith has died
out, there is nothing left but its uncons
scious effects and the habits taught h,
it, to stem the tide of selfishness; and
the people seem given up, sayvery can
did observers, to 'licentiousness and un.
truthfulness,' while a deep shade Of
melancholy settles over all" This
might have been said of the Roman En-
pire before the time of Christ; and what
Christianity was able to accomplish in
that u~npromising soil it is able to do
among the heather nations to-day.-N

There were tears in my eyes as Hooked

"It was a great shock to the brother"
continued Kate; "indeed, he seemed to
feel it all, quite as much as his twin sis.
ter, who was, of course, the one most
deeply injured: He has never married,
but has just devoted his life to her, and
the two have always lived together in
the old home. They have often tried to
learn something of the hayward sister,
but all to no avail. And now, isn't it
strange? After all these years, two poor
little waits, by a curious train of circum'
stances, suddenly appear and drift right
back into their own especial haven"

The Beginnings.

If a nan would keep his moral char
acter without spot or blemish he must
begin at the beginning, and studiously
avoid all contacts which can possibly
soil the soul. If a man would not be a
miserable miser he must hold in check
the first impulse of the misery spirit,
and see to it that the misery habit is
not formed. If a man would not be q
drunkard he must avoid the first sip of
that which has the dread color in the
cup. If a man would not become q liar
he must scorn to utter or insinuate, orr
in any way act so much as the shade of
a falsehood. If a man would be sin
cere and trustworthy he must be scrll-
pulous about the small concerns which
are the stepping-stones to hypocrisy.
If a man would not be habitually prof.
fame he must makeit an object never tp|
speak the name of God in other than al
devout and reverent tone. If a mani
would not be a gambler let him be cared
full to withhold countenance even FROM
a church rattle. No man can be self
indulgent, and foolish, and reckless,
and criminal, up to a certain stage of
life, and then emancipate himself, and
go on Just as though there had been no|
squandering OF moral force, no turning
from the right, no base recreancy to duty.
Evil does not readily yield any advan1
tage it may have gained. There is at
once a startling significance and prof.
found philosophy in the words: "Hi]
W iniquities shall take the wicked
himself, and he shall be holden with tho
sins of his cords.-Dr. +. 4. Noble.

The Peace of Death.

How peaceful is the dwelling-place Of
these who inhabit the green hamlets and
populous cities of the dead! They need
no antidote for care-no armor against
fate. No morning sun shines in at the
closed windows and awakens them, nor
shall, until the last great day. Almost,
a struggling sunbeam creeps in Through
the crumbling wall of an old, neglected.
tomb-a stranger visitor, that stays not
long. And there they all sleep, the
holy ones, with their arms crossed upon
their breasts, or lying motionless by
their sides-not carved in marble by the
hand of man, Informed in dust by the
hand of God. Gods peace be with
them! No mi comes to them now, to]
hold them by the hand, and with deli.
cate fingers to smooth their hair. They
heed no more the Establishments oil
earthly friendship. They need us not,
however much we may need them. And
yet they silently await our coming.
Beautiful is that season of life when
we can say, in the language of Scrip
ture: ''Thou hast the dew Of thy youth."I
But of these flowers Death gathers
many. He places them upon his Dol
som, and he is transformed into some.|
thing less terrific than before. Wei
learn to gaze and shudder not; for heI
carries in his arms the sweet blossoms
of u earthly hopes. We shall seed
them all again, blooming in a happier
land.
Yes, death brings us again to ous
friends. They are waiting for us, and
we shall not long delay. They have
gone before us and are like the angels
in Heaven. They stand upon the bor1
ders of the grave to welcome us, with
the countenance of affection which thew
wore on earth; yet more lovely, mord]
radiant, more spiritual! He spake we'll
who said that graves are the footprintS
of angels.-Longffellow. n
