d" To Every Creature"

1t is in no spirit of mere enthusiasm
or fool-hardiness that we claim it to
be the duty and the privilege of this
generation to secure the evangelical
ton of the world. The command of our
Lord admits of no compromise. 1t is
enforced by the vast preparation in
Providence and grace already made,
and comes home to us in this most
highly-favored land REINFORCED by all
the special advantages we possess for
doing the work. The charge to the
small and feeble church gathered by the
Master was not to stay in Judea till
that country was converted as
magnificent base of operations; it was
not to labor among the Greeks or Ro-
mans as the most cultivated and pow
erful races, that, when converted, they
might be the more competent bearers
of the gospel message to other races.
So men reasoned as to what might be
expedient then, and only persistent
and repeated orders from the Great
Leader himself could secure obedience;
and so men reason to-day in regard to
this country and the English race. But
the command was and is, eco We
into all the world and preach the Cos
pei to to every creature" Would to
God that the lessons of the early times
might be sent home to the minds of the
men and women of this generation
that, instead of seeking personal ends
for ourselves and our households, in
stead of losing our energies in the en-
joyment of the results of the gospel
and the civilization it inspires, we
might cherish the harder virtues and
graces of self-denial and sacrifice for
Christ-that we might do something
whereof to be glad in the ages to come,
something to be laid as our tribute
of love and service at the feet of our
Lord. Oh, the pity of it! These mill
ions of human souls, with all the unde-
veloped possibilities of greatness and
character, of manly virtue and womanly
grace, going down to the grave in
darkness and gloom, unenlightened
and unsaved! Oh, the shame of it to
the Christian church that this should
be so-that our professions of love and
conservation, of stewardship, should be
so unreal Oh, the glory of it, if the
church would now, indeed, rise and
shine, the glory of the Lord being risen
upon her, and her work of preparation
done for the coming of her Lord.-Reu

Divine Sympathy.

God has a sympathy with anybody
that is in any Kind of toll. He knows
how heavy is the load of bricks that
the workman carries up the ladder of
the wall; he hears the pickax of the
miner down in the coal-shaft; he knows
how strong the tepest strikes the sailor
girl among the spindles, and knows
how her arms ache; he sees the sew
ing-woman in the fourth story, and
knows how few pence she gets for
making a garment; and louder than all
the din and roar of the city comes the
voice of sympathetic God: " Cast thy
burden upon the Lord, and he shall
sustain thee. DIR. Talmdge.

Systematic Giving.

A colored brother was explaining his
system of giving to the Lord. 6 Vas,
sir" he said to the visitor, easing him
self back on his spade, ~ gives de
truck off o. one acre ebbery year to de
Lawd." Which acre is it?" inquired
his friend. Wal, that is a dibberant
question. Truf is, de acre changes
most cherry season." How's that?"
Why, in wet seasons l gibes de Lawd
de low land, and in de dry season 1
gibes him de top acre of de whole plan
tation." " In that case the Lords acre
is the worst in the whole farm, for in
wet seasons it would be flooded, and in
dry times parched ?' "Jest So" re-
joined the systematic giver; you don't
allow Use goin' to rob my family of de
best acre Use got, did ye?" And he
went on with his digging with a sturdy
smile of conscious peace with God.
We are often struck with the wonderful
similarity between the colored man and
the white man. We think we have
known several white men who were
Just as shrewd in their financial man
agement as the colored man was

The Children.

The following beautiful little poem, writ
jen by Charles Dickens, was found in his
iesk after his death:
When the lessons and tasks are all ended
And the school for the day Is dismissed
Then the little ones gather around me
To bid me good night " and be kissed.
oh, the little white arms that enclrcle
My neck in tender embraced
oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine and love on my facet
And when they are gone sit dreaming
OF my childhood, too lovely to last;
OF love, that my heart will remember
When It wakes to the pulse of the past,
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
partner of sorrow and SIM
When the glory Of God was about me,
And the glory Of gladness within.
oh, my heart grows weak a woman's
And the fountains of feeling will how
When think of the paths steep and stony
Where the feet of the dear ones must go,
OF the mountains Of sin hanging DER them,
or the tempests Of fate blowing Wild
Oh, there's nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of a child.
They are idols Of hearts and of households,
They angels Of God In disguise,
His sunlight still sleeps In their tresses,
His glory still beams in their eyes;
oh, those truants from earth and from heaven
They have made me more manly and mild,
And know how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of God to a child.
seek not life for the dear ones
All radiant, as others have done,
But that life may have just as much shadow
Totemper the glare of the sun;
would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my prayer would bound back to myself
All seraph may pray for sinner,
But sinner must pray for himself
The twig is so easily Bonded,
I have banished the rule and the rod;
have taught them the goodness of knowledge
They have taught me the goodness of God.
My heart is dungeon Of darkness,
Where l shut them from breaking a rule;
Ny frown is sufficient correction,
My love is the law of the school.
I shall leave the old house in the autumn
To traverse Its threshold no more
Ali how shall sigh for the dear ones
Thatmee me each morn at the door.
shall miss the good nights and the Kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee,
The group on the green and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
shall miss them at morn and at eve,
Their song in the school and the street,
shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And the tramp of their delicate feet.
When the lessons and tasks all ended,
And death says the school is dismissed,
May the little ones gather around me
To bid me goodnight and be kissed.

Harry's Logic.

My Harry and his sister Nan
Sat by the fire one day,
Talking, as children often do,
In such an earnest way.
"Nan, tell me, don't you really think
OF all the folks we know,
The poorest ones are best of alp
Said Harry, speaking low.
Fair Mamie opened wide her eyes,
And shook her curly head;
al never thought of it before"
The little maiden said.
" But don't you see, 1t must BIO so?
Just think of Uncle Lee;
He's very rich, but oh, so mean,
And proud as he can be
"while there is dear old Grandma Dole,
Who lives up on the hill;
To everybody she is kind,
Although so poor and ILL.,"
perhaps you're right" said sister Nan,
"But IL | only could,
I'd rather not be poor at all
I'd be both rich and good"
"Well, Man." exclaimed the little rogue,
"Now this is what meant;
I'm sure must be awful good,
For I'm not worth cent Selected

of artifcialites is ne longer dazzling to
the practical view Of the present. Merit
and ability arr more sought after than
distinguished ancestry-even money is
more worshipped now than lineage,
and it would be more absurd to advance
mans claims to office on account of
his high birth, than it would to hold up
for public suffrage because of his wealth.
This change by no means initiates

THE DECKER.

The letter of "JEEMs" LEGATE to the
Republican committee is not only FULL of
worldly wisdom but shows up an amount
of it on the part of defeated Blaineites
which it would appear to the average
locker on, should have secured the OBJ
ject for which it was projected. JEEMs
is not unknown to fame and the student
of the political history of the country
will not fail to recognize JEEMs as the
identical nobleman who was so conspic-
uously mixed up as intervenor and gen.
| eral go-between when S. G. PoMERoY late
senator from Kansas, was approached
on the subject of his sale and self
delivery at the time of ANDREW JOHN
SONS impeachment to the warm and
earnest friends of that late public func-
tionary. In the case referred to Pom
ERoY met o gentleman "dona ferens"
in park in Washington City in earnest
conference. "A certain note signed in
the handwriting of S. G. p. was torn up
in said park and JEEMs gathered up the
fragments. From that time for years
afterwards the hero senator of the
gilded age was the friend of JEEMs in
most of his financial successes.
Nearly twenty years have rolled by
and JEEMs is the same fellow in the
same trade. He is negotiator. This
time he seems to have had but indifIer-
ent luck, yet he was the same rollick-
ing, good-natured, clever JEEMs he had
been when in the bloom of youth. His
references would indicate willingness
on the part of ST. JOHN to sacrifice him
self to bronchial disease, provided he
had about $4,000 to pay the DOCTORS bill
and no tardy disposition on the part of
tho Republican committee to
stand the racket. But "the
