Woke the sleeperS-raiSed the dead,
The thirsty filied-the hungry fed;
Stilled the tempest-checked the flood
Had heard them cry out for His blood,
As when the raying. wolfsh pack
Flies yelping on the traveller track
" Who hath not sin, and he 0IoRe =
The Master said, may cast the stone.
The woman kneeled within the place,
And Bowed her softened, sinful face.
The night was past, the stars had set,
The day stood over OlYet.
The first clear radiance OF the sun
Lay pure on lofty Lebanon
The cripple bathed his withered limb
Below Bethesda's bubbling bTun;
The Levite lit the altar fires,
The temple harper struck his wires;
Ger cedar grove, DER stately pain,
Arose the Jewish morning psalmi
The Master looked; the crowd had gone
Like Hernon's dew before the dawn.
AZ dusky spirits wing away
Far from the breaking beams OF day
Each one had vanished from ms place,
Nor showed his vile, accusing face
81 Judge thee not this is the door.
Co enter in and sin no more
Who hither comes, tho naught they bring,
Shall find the Purifying Spring
In garments clean forever be,
I am the Light-Walk ye in Ne

Be upright in principle, pure in morals,
sincere in religion.
Better be in shame now than al the DAY
Of judgment.-iMo hammed.
What is resignation2 Placing God be-
tween Us and our troubles. - Madame
Swetshine.
Goodness, like the river Nile, overfows
its banks to enrich the soil and to throw
plenty into the country -lCollier.
Intercession is the very safety valve OF
love. When we feel that we really can 10
nothing at all in return for some remarka-
bic kindness and affection, how exceedingly
CAD we are that we may and can pray

The river of life is pure and clear as cTys-
tai. Is the doctrine offered to thee so? or
is it muddy and mixed with the doctrines
Of men? What water is fouled IS not the
water of life. Wherefore, if thou tindest 1t
not right, so up higher toward the spring
bed for nearer the spring the more pure
and clear is the water.-l Banyan.
Nature bids me love myself, and hate all
that hurt me; reason bids me love my
friends, and hate those that envy me; re-
ligion bids me love all and hate none. Ma
ture shoreth care, reason, wit, religion,
love. Nature may induce me, reason per-
suade me, but religion shall rule me. /
will hearken to nature in much, to reason
in more, to religion in all.-[Warwlck.
If all men fashioned their lives by the
Sermon On the Mount what a bright, glad,
beautiful world this would bel The fairest
dreams of heaven would scarcely eclipse its
glory. If all men were peacemakers where
would be the strife that brings hatred and
malice and murder in its train If covet-
business were swept out of the hearts OF
men what brothers would quarrel about IN
heritances? If the golden rule was the rule
not Of the land, but Of the lives Of men, we
should hardly need to long for heaven, for
heaven would be all about US in truth and
peace and power.
The sphere in which man moves is not
so much q matter Of moment as filling that
sphere with light and love. A very low
and unworthy ambition Wouldit be for any
member of the colored race to be vexing
his soul about the privilege OF sitting at a
white mans table Let him so carry him
self that a white man shall court the privil-
eye of sitting at his table, and II neither
shall sit at the others table, but If each
shall acQuit himself like man in the
worlds broad field of battle, I see no reason
why we may not live and die without bit
terness of spirit or breach of Christian fell

o God, so glorious in thy power and at
the same time SO tender in thy love; SO
high above the heavens, and yet adapting

Sarah Smiley. in her account Of @ tour in
the Alps, recounts Il touching incident, and
gives q beautiful illustration of Scripture
teaching concerning the help Of our great
Burdcn-bcarer In the summer of 1879
says the writer, " / descended the Ring
