In every man there is a loneliness, an
inner chamber of peculiar life, into which
God alone can enter.-fGeorgc Macdonald.
We must ever remember that there are
three things from which we cannot escape
the eye of God, the voice of our conscience,
and finally the stroke of death.
Every man needs to give constant care to
his own heart. fit be right all Will be
right-hiS words, influence, C0nduct-his
entire life. Keep thy heart with all dill
gence, for out of it are the issues of life. -
[Christian at Work
The sovereignty Of God does not over
ride the want, the will, the tears, the cry
of his children; but docs, in the first in
stance, express itself through that very
waut-thOse tears and those strong desires.
1t is not that man changes Gods purpose,
but that man verify and indeed discovers
that purpose through his own earnest
prayer.-LH. r. Reynolds.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin OF
little minds adored by little statesmen and
divines With consistency great soul has
simply nothing to do. Speak
what you think now in hard words, and
tomorrow speak what Tomorrow thinks
in hard words again, though it contradict
everything you said to-day All, so YOU
shall be sure 10 be misunderstood Is it
so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pytha-
goras was misunderstood and Socrates
and Luther, and Cupcrnicus, and Gaileo,
and Newton. and every pure and wise
spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is
to be misunderstanding. W. Emerson.
There is a great deal we never think OF
calling religion that Is still fruit unto God,
and garnered by Him into the harvest.

In the light OF the high mission granted
to John, the herald Of Jesus who can help
seeing the dignity of man. Whenever God
wants great work done for the world lie
always sends 4 man TO do it. Angels have
their province and vocation. But when
great work is to be done for humanity God
passes by the nature OF angels and calls q
man. Calls Abraham or Moses, David OF
Paul! A Augustine or Luther, Washington or
Lincoln. And when such men are called
they arc always equal to the task. Strength
comes to thearm. and wisdom to the brain
and courage to the heart. With the call Ia
apOStcship there always comes III some
way the ucedful grace. Such honor has
God put upon our manhood. Nay, higher
still has he diguiticd our humanity; when
He himself would work nightly for the
race ITp bpttrtq . mar, was made in oil
things like unto His brethren, and was not
ashamed to call men His brethren. 1t is 4
grand thing TO be 4 man. Next IL being
God il is best to be 4 man. 1t shows but
poor understanding of the case TO suggest
that John the Baptist was the product OF
the age. lie was not born of the age, but
for the age. He was mightier than the age.
He was no reed to be shaken by the wind,
but rather wind 30 shake the reeds He

its dangerous SAUNDERS and started it on i

Among the almost forgotten pictures in
sacred history is that of Moses bidding
farewell to the twelve tribe. As though
they were twelve children they are seen
gathered about the feet of their venerable
father 4 hundred and twenty years had
passed over the head and heart of the old
chiettain. They had been years of many
and great event, and many and great sor
rows and triumphs, and we must have
wrought out n face which tempted the
powerful art of an Angelo. \ hundred
