Do with US what thou wilt
| But make us for thy holy service meet.
Only the pure in heart
Shall see thee as thou art.
How shall we then, the heavenly vision see?
Thy blood, thy blood alone,
Can for our sin atone,
| And make US white and pure, and like to thee
Search us thyself, Lord
The candle of thy word
| Flash through the secret places of our soul
Unvailed before thine eyes.
The hidden thoughts that rise,
Thou, thou alone, canst cleanse and make US
whole
make us white as snow,
Bright with the roseate glow
| OF heavenly love, that wondrous love of thine ;
For thee alone to live,
| To thee ourselves We give,
| Our great redeemer, spotless lamb divine

Instead of hearing the sermon we hear
how it was delivered. Instead of listening
for the eternal tone and the eternal truth
we look at some mean, transient incident

II IS not stately walls nor beauteous
spires that tell for Christ nor eloquent
sermons, nor artistic anthems, but lives
that are clean, hearts that are glad with the
light of Christ, and hands that are loaded
with mercy.-LNew York Observer.

know or perhaps only surmise of others
what can it proceed from but a desire that
they should be universally despised, or fear
lest they should not How diaboical :
Leave an ilt-report to shift for itself; YOU
need not say word to set it forward -
REV. T. Adams.
The Congregational Cub of New York
has been discussing the question of litur-
glcal services. DR.. Charles S. Robinson, Of
the Memorial Presbyterian Church, when
called upon for an opinion, said u never
knew working pastor in a PRESBYTERIAN
church to desire a liturgy as an aid in his
work. 1t seems to me TO come entirely
from theory and the professors in theolog-
zeal semlnaries, and TO mean a lethargv in
stead Of a liturgy"

The wealth and worth of life come
through gates that do not ALWAYS open with
golden keys. 1t would be folly to denv
that there is great value in material Dos
sessions; but it is worse folly to repine and
murmur, when, in fact, the essential good
OF lie stands at every mans door. Less
murmuring because of what we have not
aud more gratitude and wise appreciation
OF what we have would make the dav
brighter and would fill the breast with iov
We are rich indeed if we will but think of

becoming more and more delightful as a

Will hardly be likely to ever find that
wlshed-tor time. Seldom do the mountains
tower abruptly from the even plain. The
lesser hills generally lead 10 them by grad
ual ascent So it is with the training of our
lives. We need first to climb the lesser
night OF soul beauty, and then the way to
the more sublime is opened up. In fact.
there need be no great surprise if the mag
nIhcent heroism is never within reach.
There is but one Yellowstone Park on The
continent, but there are thousands of grassy
glade5 and bosl1y dells that charm with
their modest-if you please, more ordinary
beauty day by day. These hundreds of
thousands of weary wayfarers may know
and be refreshed by them. To the most the
National Park must remain a pictured
dream. So with our lives. Ii is not bv
