Rrliainn5 Reading.
The Reading Of The Law.

Rev. Henry NJ. Grout, ID. d., of Con-
cord, Mass, makes the following com
ment on two points in the last Sunday
school lesson which are timely:
The reading included '.aH the uOrds
Of the lac, the blessings and curSiHgS."
There are some parts of Gods law
which are only pleasing; but there are
other parts which cut straight and
sharply across the sinners cherished
passions. All men are willing to read
and hear the former. The promises,
too, are only pleasing. But there are
people who turn away from the more
searching commands of God, and who
would gladly stop their ears to the
curses. They like that preacher best
who dwells on the easy and agreeable
things. They want him to he broad
and liberal, and soothing. Is this
wisc2 Is it rational ? Is it brave 7
/, it pleasing to God, whose the law is

1t is sometimes thought that the
great and awful things of Gods law
should not lie taught To young chill
drcn. that we should set only the bright
and alluring things before the little
ones. Are we, then, so much wiser
than God DO we better understand
the human mind and heart Our chill

The Doctrine of Love in a saw
age Land.

On the heel of the confirmation of
Usibepee's victory over Citiwayo comes
the announcement that the latter Is
dead. The Zulu king was indeed
placed in an awkward position on his
return home. The territory was so
cut up among minor chiefs that an
archy seemed inevitable from the start.
The local sentiment could not under
stand how their king after his captivi-
ty should oppose every step that LED to
arms. The proud ruler who, with as
segai in hand, had once insolently de-
manded of the governor of Natal what
business he had to inquire concerning
Zulu laws, was found talking thus =
Well here now is lIamu's imp and
Zibcbu's attacking me on both sides
and all around. And | keep quiet
while they and my people stab one an
other. But tomorrow il will he SAID

nothing to do with it. And If | were
to attack them in return, it wonld be
said to be all my doing, whereas
for my part had been keeping quiet,
while they were given authority to Kill
me.
