The Close of Service.

/ could sometimes wish that you did
not leave your pew so abruptly and
promptly, as you do, the moment the
last syllable of the benediction has been
pronounced. There is no need that
you should have your hat in your hand
no need that you should have the great
coat upon the shoulder; nor yet that,
the moment the last syllable is pro-
nounced, doors should be thrown open,
as though you were eager and impatient
until the thing had come to a close. 1t
would be well-it would be better, more
in harmony with those outward ex-
pressions of reverence--if there were a
moments silence, silent pause, indi-
eating that when the service is closed
you have not been eager for its close,
and then it is yours to 60 away in the
hopeful confidence that God, who has
been reverently waited upon by you
and whose benediction has been pro-
nounced over you in his name and by
his authority, would go with you and
help you to make the rest of your life
not secular as distinguished from re.
ligious, but spiritual and godly through
and through John Hall.

nected with Sunday paper (of sport

ceived the idea of writing up" Sc

revival meetings then in progress in
the city where he lived. He sat taking
notes till he had heard over fifty con-
verts, and others, speak. Then he
threw down his notes, rose to his feet,
confessed the errand that brought him
to the meeting and said: g am law
yer and accustomed to taking testimony.

TrOtting Against the Devil.

The Rev. Mr.. -, now member
of the California Conference, began
his ministerial career in Iowa. He
there preached at three different places
each Sunday, which gave him twenty
odd miles travelling. He rode horse
back at first, but finding his mare too
light to easily carry his weight, he pur-
chased a road sulky, and, much to his
comfort, discovered that his horse pos
sessed considerable speed. One Sun
day, while going from one church to
another, he overlook man, also in a
sulky, driving a fine animal AS, our
friend was in hurry he passed the
stranger, who kept close behind him
until long stretch of good road was
reached; then he heard his fellow-trav-
eler urging his horse, and before he
knew it he was taking part in spirited
heat, in which the stranger came off
second best. On reaching bit of rough
road both slowed up, and the stranger
sung out: "That's a good mare you've
got, my friend. Does she belong to
you ?" "No," replied Mr.. -; she
belongs to my Master" "Who's he ?''
"The Lord" was the response. "Then
l guess you don't trot her much" son
yes, | do" " What do YOU trot her
against ?" Mr.. replied, very
solemnly, "The devil" Um-um!

The Book Of job.

An Engl ishman said to me, " Did
you ever study the book of Job?'
No." l said, "not particularly"
" You ought to, &" said he; " it is a
wonderful book; if you get the key to
that, you get the key to the whole
Bible" That is singular" said |.
g thought job was more of poetical
book; how do you make it out?" He
said the first division represents Adam
in Eden, perfect man untried; the
second head represents his fall; the
third says, "The wisdom of the world
came to restore job" You cannot. he
said, find any wisdom in all the books
equal to the wisdom of those three men,
but they could not help poor Job out of
his difficulty. Just so is the world try
ing to put Adam back again; they try
to amend him, but they cannot do it.
Your philosophers cannot restore Adam
to his original perfection. What can
the geOlogist tell you about the Rock of
Ages? What can the astronomer tell
you of the Bright and Morning Star?
The fact is, job could not stand their
treatment. He could stand his bois
and his scolding wife, but he could
not stand the way the wise men

about Elihu; he came and brought
grace, and that is what Job wanted.
He did not want law; Job was a
righteous man in his own concet up
to this time. He said, have fed the
hungry, / have clothed the naked,
did this and that! II I!-that was
Jobs cry then. He was great man
if we had him now we would make him
leader in some Presbyterian church
and be glad to get him. Under the
fifth head God speaks. He says, " Gird
up your loins like man, will put a
few questions to you" The moment
Job got a glimpse of God he was diff,
ferent man; his self-righteousness was
gone. When l go into the inquiry
rooms some days some have their head:
