Sweetness of Spirit.

There are some Christian men who
somehow carry the charm of an attrac-
tive atmosphere with them. 1t is a pleas
ure Just to look at them. Even when one
differs In Judgment with them as far as
the poles are asunder, one is none the less
drawn and fascinated by them. There is
such sweetness in their spirit, such graci-
GUS gentleness in their manner, such kind
catholiclty, such manly frankness, such
thorough self-respect on one hand, and
on the other hand such perfect regard
for the judgment of others, that one can
not hel p loving them, however conscience
may compel conclusions on matters of
mutual consequence unlike those which
they have reached.
Those are not weak men, either. What
people like in them is not that, with the
everlasting unvaryingness of a mirror,
they reflect back the thought which is
presented to them, and so are always at
an agreement with others. Sometimes
one is even more drawn to them when
they are in opposition, because they are
so true and Just that their respect carries
with 1T all the refreshment of variety
with none of the friction of hostility.
Natural temper has something to do
with this. God gives great gift to
man when he gives him sunny DISPOSE
ton, candid spirit, and the instinct of
fairness in controversy. 1t is exceed
ingly hard for some men to be Just. They
are jealous suspicious, and morose in
their natural bert. 1t is hard for them
to believe good of others. 1t is easy for
them always to put the worst construc-
ton upon matters. 1t sometimes seems
as if it were almost more than grace can
do to transform their tempers SO that
they will be just toward any man against
whom they have been led to have pre-
iudice.

A Sensible Answer.

A thoroughly sensible answer was that
given recently by Rev. NJ @. Stebbins,
when examined for the pastorate of the
Congregational Church at Cornwall.
President Hamlin asked him if we have
the right to fix the Bible over to suit our
selves. Mr. Stebbins replied 81 am &C.
cusLomed to look upon the Bible as in
tended to fix US over" The incident was
encountered in the CongregationoLst last
Sabbath afternoon, and in the evening an
article was found in the Advance assert
ing, with reason and truth, that the in
teTnal evidence of the Bible is unanswer-
able, and closing with these words " The
prevailing argument in defence of the
Gospel will always be its adaptation to
the needs of man. So the fitness oil
Christ's words to the soul which seeks for
God is the sufficient and the highest pos
sible evidence Of their Givineness." Not
long after, the last number of Jerrv Me-
Auley'8 Paper was taken up, and there
were recorded, not one or two, but col.
umns of testimonies from once vicious
men and women to the power Of the Cos
pei to make men new creatures in Christ
One had been believer ten years, another
FIVE, another four, and though each had
passed through severe struggles, strong
temptations and sore trials, he or she had
been kept by the power Of God through
faith, unto salvation.
The world is becoming more and more
practical every day, and becoming sc
through the spirit Of the Bible, which
more and more enters into the intellec
tual and moral life of the world. "By
their fruits ye shall know them, the i'm
mortal word Of Him who spake as never
man spake, is becoming more and NOR,
the rule Of judgment the world over
