A Work OF Faith.

Some people are very anxious to I'M
dertake some kind of "faith work, :"
such as they have seen, or read of in
books. Perhaps they may find faith
work all around them. One of the
most intelligent women l have ever
known, the Christian mother of a large
family of children, used to say that the
education of children was eminently a
,oork Of faith. She never heard the
tramping of her boys feet as they came
home from school, or listened to their
noisy shouting in their play, or watched
their unconscious slumbers, without an
inward, earnest prayer to God for wis
dom to train them, and for the Holy
Spirit to guide them. She mingled pray
ing with counsel and restraint; and the
counsel was the wiser, and the restraint
the stronger, for this alliance of the
human and divine elements in her in
struction and discipline. AT length,
when her children became men and
women, accustomed to the hard strife
of the world, her name was the dearest
one they could speak; and she who
had fed their bodies from her own
spirits life," who had taught their feet
to walk, and their tongues to speak and
pray, held their reverence and love,
increased athousand-fold by the remem-
brance of am early education that had
its inspiration in faith in God, and its
fruit in the humble lives of upright and
faithful men.-Selected.

houses? The invariable answer is that
they think they will be more likely TO
receive sympathy and help there than
elsewhere. We might retort the ques-
ton of the jolly lecturer and ask
whether poor stranger was ever known
to enquire where the inlidels of the
town lived, or whether person in any
sorrow was ever known to seek out an
nfdel to afford him comfort. Will the
man who goes about ridiculing Chris
tianity tell his audience the next time
he lectures where they can find an in
fidel hospital, or refuge of any kind
for poverty or distress, or any society
composed of infidels which seeks out
and relieves the suffering, in this coun-
try or in any other on the face of the
earth 3? Is there an infidel organization
that is doing anything even to spread
sound learning and civilization in any
part of the world ? There are societies
that operate in merely humanitarian
sphere, outside of Christianity, but not
in opposition to it, and they are doing
good; they are rejecting upon suffering
men the glancing rays of the Christian
religion. But we have yet to learn of
the existence of the first institution
founded on the tenets of infidelity,
which even pretends to seek the well
fare of mankind. Christianity is the
only organized power in the world that
processes to combat, and aims to destroy
all evil, and to secure the true and COM
plete triumph of all that is good. The
Church of Christ is to-day the only visi
BILE, organized agency of pure, unseltish
benevolence, and the prominent form
in which that agency appears Is the
work of Christian missions throughout
the world All schemes for colonial
ton by political governments or corpo-
rations have worldly and selfish OBJ
iects in view. The ships that carry our
missionaries abroad were not built for
that purpose, nor do they 90 on voyages
for purely benevolent objects, except
in emergencies to carry provisions to a
starving community or to rescue
crew of Arctic adventures. Our YES
sells go to bring "gold and silver and
precious stones, and ivory, andapes and
peacocks - to minister to our comfort,
luxury or pride. The first vessel built
and launched in this country for a
purely benevolent purpose was the
Morning STAR" whose white wings
sped over the eastern seas with the Cos
pei message. If the Golden Age shall
ever come when crime and suffering,
ignorance and superstition, poverty
and oppression shall cease throughout
the world, it will not be by the infu-
ence of intidel lecturers, but by the
teachings of that Book which the
French infidel, Diderot. secretly taught
his little daughter, because, as he con-
fessed to his friends when rallied about
it, "he could give her no better les
sons, "-Christian Mteligencer.

The Natives.

To a correspondent of the Tribune
Mr.. Stanley gives "A very favorable ac-
count of the natives of the Congo
Basin. He says they are the most imi-
tative people in the world, and take
pride in associating with Europeans
and adopting their ways. This inclines
them favorably to the ideas and meth
DDS of civilization. AS an illustration,
they are giving up their native huts for
modern houses. He knows of twenty
or thirty black traders who have i'm
ported three-story iron houses from
England, costing from $4,000 to
S25 900, in which they and their fam
lilies live, with chairs, tables and car
pets, pictures and mirrors. With this
tendency to copy the customs of white
men, to whom they look up as eX-
emplary patterns, how great is the
responsibility resting on the pioneers
of the coming civilization not to intro
duce any of the commodities whose use
would deteriorate or degrade the igno-
rant but trusting natives. 1t is not cred
liable to our Christian civilization that
the largest cargo of New England rum
ever shipped from the United States
was sent to Africa last August, three
thousand five hundred barrels from one
distillery in Cambridge, Mass, having
been exported to the west coast
Better that the Dark Continent were
left still uneXplored, than that the
source of the greatest evils of civiliza-
ton should be forced upon its unsus-
pecting inhabitants. The African Trad
ing Company of Scotland will not
allow Intoxicating liquors to be sent on
its ships. -Erangelist

at him." This led writer in Hdrper's
Young People to give few rules as to
behavior at table: "Perhaps the rea-
son boys and girls do not feel so com
Portable and at ease as they might on
special occasions at the table is because
thay do not take pains to be perfectly
polite when there is no one present but
the ordinary household. In the first
place, we owe it to ourselves always to
look very neat and nice at our own
table. Boys ought to be very careful
that their hair is brushed, their hands
and face clean, their nails free from
stain and soil, and their collars and ties
in order before they approach the table.
A very few moments spent in this prep
aration will freshen them up, and give
them the outward appearance of little
gentlemen. l hope girls do not need
to be cautioned thus. Then there are
some things which good manners render
necessary, but about which every one is
not informed. You know you are not
to eat with your knife. When you send
your plate for second helping, or
when it is about to be removed, leave
your knife and fork side by side upon
it. 1t is not polite to help yourself too
generously to butter. Salt should be
placed on the edge of the plate, never
on the table cloth. Do not drink with
spoon in the cup, and never drain the
last drop. Bread should be buttered
on the plate and cut bit at time, and
eaten in that way. Eating should 90
on quietly. Nothing is worse than
to make a noise with the mouth while
eating. and to swallow food with notice.

and fancy that you are the object of
attraction to your neighbors.'
