ONLY GOING 70 THE GATE.

Like . bell OF blossom ringing,
Clear and childish, shril and sweet,
Floating TO the porohe's shadow,
With the fainter fall Of feet,
Comes the answer softly back ward,
bidding teudor watcher wait,
While the baby queen out runs her,
"Only going TO the gate"
Through tho moonlight, warm and scented
Love TO beauty breathss q sigh,
Always to depart reluctant,
Loath TO speak the words good-by,
Thon the Same low echo answers,
Waiting love Of older date,
And the maiden whispers softly,
Only going to the gate."
Oh, these gates along eur pathway,
What they bar outside and int
With tho Vague outlook beyond them,
Over waves We have not been
How they stand before, behind us!
Toll-gates some, with price to pay;
Sprtng-gates some, that shut forever;
Cloud-yates some, that melt away.
80 We pass them going upward
On our Journey one by ono,
To the distant shining wicket
Where each traveller goes alone
where the friends who Journey with us
Strangely falter, stop and wait;
Father, mother, child or lover;
"Only going to the gate"

The God Of the Bible.

Tue Scriptures bear the seal of their
Divine origin in the character which
they ascribe to God. The.conception of
Co which they present was not Dor
rowed from surrounding nations.
Egypt did not give to Moses the idea
OF n GOD, the creator Of all, holy and
good, able and present to save. The
prophets did not get their inspiration
from the worshipers of Baal and Ash
taroth. The evangelists of Christ did
not proclaim simply the highest thought
OF their age, but a character which their
age IN its wisdom did not know. Paul
nc o take lessons of the philosophers
OF Athens before speaking on Mars
HILL but boldly asserted that he pro-
claimed to them a God unknown to
them. Nopeople had at any time risen
to a conception of God that was in NOR
al attribute higher than man. The gods
OF the nations were but their detiled
thoughts and passions. and had NOTHING
IN their character to bind the heart to
men, or to promote purity. or give
me strength of confident hope. Pas
slonate. vengeful and cruel, they in
splred fear and required costly offerings
ana cruel sacrifices to appease their an
ger. Their worship vas debasing, the
thought of their presence a terror. or
an inspiration to evil.
Now the marvel is that, when MEN
were bowling to such gods, whe, =
try was the basest, there W, ., 20
men TIE conception of one , as a
spirit, almighty, holy, Just and LOVING:

Small ~Annoyances.

How many people, patient and I'M:
complaining about important matters.
lapse into querulousness and discomfort,
vel small annoyances, and especially!
over that most momentary of all
troubles, an unpleasant state of the
weather. They have learned that
clouds of trouble and affection sooner
Or later lift to let the sunshine through;
that tears of sorrow sometimes nourish
the loveliest heart-flowers; that the
brightest days of a lifetime may follow
right after the darkest; but that. in the
prosaic, material, everyday world, rain
is ever necessary, or that a cloudy day
may, and generally is, followed by q
pleasant one, are facts they practically
ignore. The storm that prevents a pro-
posed excursion is received almost as if
it were an unjustifiable and impertinent
freak of nature, regardless of the fact,
that it fills the stream that turns a hum
dred mills, and rcfreshes. the roots of
grasses that feed a thousand cattle. The
city pedestrian who, finding the side
walks slippery and troublesome, ex-
claims against the snow, does not stop
to think, perhaps does not even know,
how much easier work is done in the
country for the presence of the snow.
The farmers teaming is far more readily
accomplished on runners than on
wheels, the lumberman can get out his
logs with half the expense: most I'M
portant of all, the roots of flowers and
grasses are safe under the snow when
they would freeze without it's protection.
And, after all the complaining, things
go on just as they would without it;
and all the success the complainer
secures-if it can be called SUGGESTS
in manifesting a spirit of ingratitude to
Him who makes seed-time and harvest,
day and night, sunshine and Storm

holiness delights in purity, who in inc
tice must punish sin, and who yet love-.
MS with an OVERLOOKING love, and by ths
most marvellous sacrifice redeems 40
from sin and gives us eternal l;fa
Moses stood far above the worlds con'
ception when he made the revelation ~
1.-The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and
gracious, long-suffering and abundanti
in goodness and truth, keeping mercy
for thousands, forgiving iniquity, trans.
erosion and sin, and that will by M
means clear the guilty." The messaoe
of Christ is the only Gospel the world
has ever heard: "God so loved the
world that He gave His only-begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in Him;
should not perish but have eternal
life" This alone meets the need of
man. and it meets it perfectly. With
out n higher than ourselves, one
purer and in every way better, one who
is infinitely above our highest ideal, we
would sink to lower depths. Without
a righteousness acceptable to the in
fnitely lust and holy one we would
perish in our sins. Without the rev.
citation of the love of God, a love
1nuulte III It's greatness auu LcuucIQeSS,
in its resources and it's power, we could
not bow the heart before Him. With
out the quickening power of His Spirit
we could not be raised into the new
and eternal life. But with this love re-
vealed to us in the Son of God we are
drawn to Him, and by His Spirit are
born again to a life that can not die be-
cause it is the life God gives to us.
1t is near the close of the Scriptures
that the declaration is made: "God is
love-" And it is not then announced
as q new doctrine; it is a summing up
of all that had been revealed from the
beginning of the world. Immediately
after the fall there was a revelation Of
mercy. The covenant with Noah was
one of grace. The covenant with Abra-
ham was in love. Moses was sent on a
mission of mercy and covenant grace.
So also in the revelation of God in the
law, in the visions of the prophets, and,
in the heart utterances of the Psalms,
there is everywhere the love of God. In
the coming of Christ this love reached
its highest exhibition.
Therefore it is that God, at the clos
ing Of the word of life, gathers all the
revelations and manifes ations of Him
self into the declaration, "God is love-"
