bis experience should be q solemn
warning to him, which ought to last
him for the remaining days of his
mortal existence.
In administering reproofto the ju-
venile members of a household, old
Aunt Horseradish is in her element.
Each sentence of her rebuke is sea-
soned with enough spite to give it a
wholesome sting. Each word of the
advice is coupled with some terror
laden warning as to the fate of chill
oren who continue in the habit of
doing the particular thing in which
the child is at that moment engag-
ed. The effort to crush out that
bouncing spirit of gladness, to which
her own bilious soul is stranger, is
seldom complete and instantaneous
success. But she succeeds in chafs'
ing the youngsters, and netting and
grating their dispositions. Natural
ly enough they almost unconsclously
administer little spirited repartee,
which is returned with compound in
terest and another dose of horserad-
ish; and often with prompt contact
of the palm of Aunt Horseradish's
hand with the youthful mouth or
ear.
The garden of the Lord is large,
and its plants and fruits diverse in
character. There is room enough IN
it's far-away corner, off from the jas
samines, and the roses, and the fra
grant honeysuckles, for such yegeta-
tion as the CAcHLEA ARMoRACEA. The
doctrine of the recognition of friends
in the better world is delightful
one; but heaven is large, and per-
-haps there will be fenced habita-
tion for the disturbers of churches,
the provokers of prayer-meetings,
the acidulators of breakfast tables,
the worriers OF small children, and
the bearers of false witness against
their nelghbors. To this choice
spot, all who have not had enough
of their company on earth, can re-
resort, for the recognition of the
horseradish Christians.

Awakening in Heaven.

One cannot help thinking some
times Of the probable perceptions
and emotions that come to the Chris
tan soul when it finds itself set free
from its earthly tabernacle. Yet
nothing but the experience can give
one knowledge of what souls purified
by faith actually see and feel in that
grand birth hour Of their immortal
life. Dean Stanley gave his concep
tion of what the hour brings them.
in these beautiful words: "There
the soul finds itself alone on the
mountain ridge overlooking the un-
known future. We are left alone
with God. We know not in the
shadow of the night who it is that
toucbes us--we feel only hat the
Everlasting Arms are closing US in; /;
the twilight of the morning breaks,
we are bid to depart in peace, for by
strength not our own we have pre-
vailed, and the path is made clear
before us.--Zlon's Herald.
The Russellville Democrat., 1885-09-03
Faith Makes Very Much of
PRAYER.

The believing man resorts to God
at all times that he may keep up his
fellowship with the divine mind.
Prayer is not a soliloquy, but da
logue; not an introspection, but a
looking toward the hills, whence
cometh our help. There is o relief
in unburdening the mind to sympa-
thetic friend, and faith feels this
abundantly; but there is more Of this
in prayer When an obedient &C
tivity has gone to the full length of
its line, and yet the needful thing is
not reached, that the hand of God is
trusted in to go beyond us, just as
before it was relied upon to go with
us. Faith has no desire to have its
own will when that will is not in ac-
cordance with the mind OF God; for
such desire would at bottom be the
impulse Of an unbelief which did not
rely upon Gods judgement as our
best guide. Faith knows that Gods
will is the highest good, and that
anything which is beneficial to us
will be granted to our petitions. All
things are ours already by loves
gift, and prayer is the check By
which we draw upon our own bank
ing account with God. Thus the
believer has sense of boundless
riches without the peril Of theme.
II. Spurgeon.

intendent. After talking with q
friend of his, he determined to ask
the teacher to resign, and put in
her place an illerate young lady who
earned her daily bread by working
in hat-shop. The result was that
in a few months twelve of the class
joined the church on profession of
faith, and another died in the full
assurance Of a happy hereafter. II
teacher can read her "title clear
to mansions in the Skies" she has
the requisite qualification for lead
ing others in the right direction,
and answering the legitimate object
of Sunday-school teaching. The
blind cannot lead the blind. Above
all other requisites, teacher should
have an experimental knowledge of
the power of the blood of Christ to
wash away all sins.-Ex.

Faith Enjoys the Eternal Har-
mOny.

Trust in the Great Father sug-
gests and fosters delight in all His
works. We are out of gear with the
universe till we are at peace with
God, and then all the creatures en-
ter into league of amity with US
and we with them. At home in our
Fathers house everything communes
with us of His glory. Shrines grow
needless, for the whole creation is
the temple of the Lord, and nothing
is any longer common or unclean.
Mountains and hills break forth be-
fore us into singing, and all the trees
of the field do clap their hands. 1t
was no wonder that great saint
called the birds his SISTERS" for we
seem akin to all that comes of our
Makers hand. Instead of being
loose stones cast out as useless, we
are built into the fabric of the divine
Architect, and are accord with all
the worlds. No one takes more
intense delight in nature than the
intelligent friend of God. He is
the worlds Interpreter and Voice,
and its inmost secret is laid bare to
Him. mature to Him is but name
for an effect whose CAUSE is God"
He perceives God everywhere, even
the God Of Gethsemane and the
cross.
"One Spirit-His,
Who wore the plated thorns with
bleeding brows,
Rules universal nature.'
The scientist talks of ''natural
laws" and the theologian descants
upon the Decalogue; but to the be-
lever all laws are IN one statute
book, and he honors all for the
Kings sake. He sees holiness is
within walls superior to that which
is outside of them. Every place to
HIM is hallowed, for God is there.
The rain is holy water, the noun
tain tarn baptistery, the flight Of
birds sacred procession, the har-
vest sacrament, the thunder
hymn, the lightning sermon.
Faith floods the universe with Del
ty: by revealing that un5ounded
Presence which is ever more It's life,
it's bliss.-C. H. Spurgeon.

Old Father Trusty.

Old Father Trusty was negro in
st. Anp's Bay, Jamaica, whose heart
was turned to God late in life. He
used to speak with deep feeling OF
lis great distress of heart when God
opened his eyes to see his sins, and
Of the difficulties be met with from
his friends trying to make him GO
back to his old ways. When be-
tween seventy and eighty years OF
age he determined to read the word
of God for himself. He attended
school for this purpose, and dilligent,
ly perseyered until he was able to
read fairly well.
He was poor man, so some
friends subscribed to buy him Bi
BILE with large print. This he stud
led, and learned from it to rejoice in
the hope OF the glory Of God.
Heaven was real place to him.
On one occasion number of child
rem were gathered together for a holi-
day treat. They were bright and
happy in their play, and now and
again joined together in singing
hymns and sacred songs. The old
man was sitting by, looking on, and
a friend said to him, "Father Trusty,
is not that beautiful sightY His
answer was, raising his finger to-
wards heaven as he looked upward,
"Not half so beautiful as up there" I"

Doesn,t Like ..But,, Christlans

Brother A. is mighty good man,
but he doesn't come much to church.
Brother B. is mighty generous, but
drinks a little. Brother G. is a good
steward, but they do say he'll skin
you in trade. Notice how we use
the distinctive conjunction; we but
a man, and but him till finally we
but him clear off the track of saliva
tion. Brother A is the best man in
the world, and he has only one little
fault, if it can be called a fault. He's
just lcetle inclined to be quarrel

The best man in Lexington may be

He's like fine dressed woman with
her silks, and laces, and jewelry, but

Good Lord, round US off. There are
two kinds Of men who puzzle com
munity. One man is good in every
thing, but he don't belong to the
church. Another does and lives up
to all the church rules, but won't
pay his debts. What do you want
to be fool like either for? Try to
be perfect man. We've got enough
pieces here to make 100 or may be
200 good men, but the trouble is we
can't fit them together. One man
don't pray, but pays his debts. An
other says, I'm poor, l can't pay, but
I'll do all the church asks me to-
Don't pray, but pay. There are
men who say they give great deal

POintIess Preaching.

Few things tend more surely to
keep people away from church than
superficial, pointless preaching. Yet
some preachers are superficial be-
cause they Will not give their full
strength to pulpit preparation. They
fancy that, with a few disjointed
ideas not half thought out, they can
interest the people, provided only
thatin preaching they can contrlve
TO work up current Of religious
feeling. Perhaps they can get the
emotion, perhaps not. But when
they do, the stream is as shallow as
the thought that gave it birth, and
it's effect perishes with the breath
with which the preacher gives the
benediction. Any man who is given
to careless preparation for the pull
pit may profit by carefully ponder
ing this caustic but true remark OF
a very successful bishop: 1.-The
sermon which has cost little is
worth just what it cost.n--Ex.

/ declare to you that In this Nine

on him, but it's rough g. the crowd.
/ expect when essa burnt the books

not mad, though, but there are 1000
Christians here that are. They are
so mad they won't pray. When a
man calls me crank / look him in
the face and tell him he is either a
fool or scoundrel or mixed. That's
the worst mixture ever was, about
half fool and half rascal, and you can't
help one part for the other. once
went to dedicate a church in Jones
county, Georgia. A school teacher,
sweet yonng lady, came up and
talked to me. A few minutes after
ward one of the trustees said: "Did
you notice that Miss Annie is a little
cracked" / said, "No." He said,
"she was nice, but was about half
cracked on religion" | told him if
that was so she was all right. If
she was cracked that way, I'd like to
burst wide open. How many peo-
pie pride themselves on well balanc.
ed lives--they never go off after this
thing or that. No wonder when a
fellows been side-tracked and
scotched at both ends he can't run
off after anything.
Cornelius was devout man, de-
vout enough to be crank. | sup
pose I'm called a crank because /
don't preach like Brother Moses.
Bless you, God never did make two
men alike. or if he did one was 70
account. We can't tell the truth un
less we fix it up nice. These pat
ent medicine men know what it is to
sugar-coat things. God help US to
give the plain old powders Of the
gospel. Suppose you had a patient
very sick and were to leave lot of
medicine for him to take. When
you come back he is worse, and you
ask his wife if she gave HIM all the
medicine you left. She says. "oh,
yes, all but little; l took out part
neccuse l thought it was too bad"
Now, Madam, your husband will die
and you'll be to blame. There lots
of preachers, in the wo:ld-I mean
IN Geargia-who sugar coat their
pills for fear their patients stomachs
won't stand it. Cornelius was de-
vout man and--did you notice that
copulative conjunction; believe
they call it copulatlve. Cornelius
was a devout man, and feared God,
with all his house. Watch, when
you ask about Christians, for that
