APLEAS.4NT REUNION.


union last evening, at the spacious and
convenient parlors of the House of Hope
church in st. Paul. The occasion was
simply one of sociebility. and no business
of any kind was connected with
it. and the meeting had no significance
whatever. Usually these meetings are
limited to men, but last evening the mem
bers departed from their usual custom and
invited their wives and daughters to at
tend, which considerably increased the
numbers. Several long tables were set
out in the lecture room in the basement Of
the church, and it was around these tables
that those present were seated and
for an hour or two enjoyed each
others society and the many
good things the tables contained. The
speech making was very limited indeed.
The Rev. Mr.. Edwards made few re-
marks OF welcome, and Rev. Mr.. Sample,
| of Minneapolis replied in few minutes
| speech in which he referred to the growth
OF the Presbyterian churches in the two
| cities, and mada number OF pleasant,
humorous references that ware quite
laugheble, and which were very highly ap-
preoiated. Revs. Mr. Campbell and
Wells of Minneapolis also spoke few
| words.
A POEM By NIB. MAEYIN.
The only distinguished episode of liter
airy character was the reading of the fol-
lowing poem, by Mr.. Richard Marvin, OF
| st. Paul:
! WRITTEN FOR THE MEETING OF THE PREsBY-
TERRAIN ALLIANCES OF MINNEAPOLIS
AND ST. PAUL.
| 4 lingering good bye! fervent amen
To the friends, to the joys of to night!
| The present, but fingers moment, and then
| To the past it has taken its fight!
| But the joys we have shared, the hopes that
inspire,
This Christ-lighted feast of the soul,
| Shall blend with our lives, and lift the N still
higher,
| And nearer their Christ-giyen goal!
In cities apart, tho our tents may be known,
| That, twin-ike, may rival each other;
| Our Faith is not dual-our hope is but one
| Our Charity cleaves to its brother.
Emulation, inspiring, shall waken our zeal,
| And strengthen each sacred appliance;
| WhiIe love that is Christlike your mission doth
seal,
| and blends with blended alliance.
How beautiful Hermon, where, fragrant, the
dew
Falls softly On evergreen sod!
Whence charity swings, the universe through,
q censor of incense to God!
| And the perfume it filings DER purified hearts,
Shall mingle with frag' ance above,
| And deepen the bliss with the joy it imparts
In regions of infinite love!
| What streams, by the way, our wanderilgs meet
As we traverse this valley of life
| What living GASES, with rest for our feet,
TIpfOuchpd nv the preSence of strifel
| What yistas beyond them, that open afar,
| Into cloudiess, ineffable day,
| Beyond the far verge of the furthernost star,
Or the glance of its uttermost ray!
All the Ged-given beauty, superbly, tha5 dwells,
| With this God-given earth that is ours,
| Each strain of glad music in cadence that swells
Der world that is glowing with flowers,
| And all the glad scenes Of the upperrnost sky,
And the voices of angels il chorus,
Are ours in the present, in thought to enjoy,
And soon shall be present before us!
They are ours in the present, are ours with the
past,
| Each chord in the spirit they waken
An anthem of hope O Ter the future shall cast,
With promise forever mistaken!
In foretaste, tonight, we have drank from tht
ST. cam
| That flows meath the heaver.y throne,

deem,
And give to the Master His own.
Our Master that loved US, our Brother that died
| Our Shepherd that guided our feet,
| And folded us oft when the deepening tide
In anger around US woald meet,
That Master, that Brother, that Shepherd i.
ours;
That Friend for adversely born,
| Shall crown with smile the storm cloud that
| lowers,
| And waken glorious morn!
| IT'S glimpse of the light that shall chase from
| the world
The clouds that have darkened the past,
| And blazen banner that ne'er shall be furled
! While earth in its beauty shall last,
| That light for the world from the Orient streams
Not the misty and Pickering ray
From Asia's false light, all pregnant with dream:
That darken the light of the day;
No fountain of fancy, no mystical guess
! At the infinite, boundless, unknown;
| But the word of tho Goldman, the infinite yet
| OF him who died for his own!
With some that are here we may never have
| met,
| Yet in hallowed moments of prayer,
| We have clasped the same cross, and we may
not forget
The halo OF the peace that was therei
| Oh! the cross OF cur Christi No relic we crave
| We ask no material shrine,
For the whols cross is yours in the life that il
| gave,
And the cross, yea, the whole cross is mine
The dew of the morning yet sparkles with glet
! In many a life that is here,
| But the noontide with you-ths twilight with
Marks many fugitive year.
| Lies visions may cheat US, ambition grow
| Earth's friendships may fade from the heart
| But earth cannot measure the friendship OF
Him
| Whose favor shall never DEPART
| That friendship shall measure the years in theil
fight,
| Nor shrink from sur mortal decay
| When last good night shall herald the
light
| OF cIoudlese ard measureless day!
