that a prophet is not without honor

has made himself almost the idol of an
admiring literary world, at the same
time became so unpopular in the city in
which he was reared that he has remov-
ed his family to Massachusetts,, and will
hereafter make the Bay State his home.
It is another ease of genius and a kind
and just human heart placing onein adj

happened before. Gable is about two
decades in advance Of the rest of New
Orleans, and it is gratifying to know
that honors prejudiced Louisiauians
have failed to heap upon his head have
been forgotten under the rain of laurels

On Guard.

The great crises and temptations of
life come, for the most part, when they
are least expected. So also do the
great opportunities. A young man fan
cies that when his great chance comes
he will have time for special prepara-
ton, like the athlete who knows the
date when his endurance will be put to
the test and subjects himself to thor
ough training. But such opportunities
are rarely given. The physician gen.
orally makes his reputation on some
case that comes unexpectedly into his
hands; the lawyers opportunity to gain
influence and prominence as an advo-
cate comes when he least expects it;
and this is true in all the departments
of life. There is no preparation for
exceptional opportunities except that
which man puts into his daily work;
the measure of his hourly diligence and
fidelity will be the measure of his prep
aration for the great moment when it
comes. Not less suddenly and without
preparation comes our greatest tempta-
tons; and this is the subtlest danger
that lies in wait for us. In one sense
there is no such thing as accumulation
of character. 1t is true that the longer
one remains pure and honest and true,
the more steadfast and certain becomes
the impulse of his nature upward; but
there is never a day when the whole
fabric Of character is not put to the test
by some new crisis, never an hour
when the yes or no, which have been
repeated so many times, must not be
repeated again to some question of right
or wrong. No man can afford to live
on the capital which he has acquired in
business, and it is this conception of
character which has betrayed many
strong men. Paul, who belonged to
the order of strenuous workers, and in
whose life there was no rest from strug-
gle, seems to have been constantly
haunted by the fear that, after all the
good he had done to others, he might
himself become a castaway. The same
peril turks in the path of every man,
and no past goodness can protect him;
character can only be preserved by a
continual struggle-a struggle in which
thre is no such thing as trust, armistice
or treaty of peace. Nothing but abso-
lutte conquest, VIGOROUSLY carried on
till the field is cleared by the summons
of death, can keep any man secure.
The man who falls asleep for moment
at his post often inflicts as great an in
jury on the cause he defends as the
most INSCRIPTIONS traitor. If vigil
lance is the price of liberty, much more
is it also the price of safety and char
acter and righteousness. = Christian
Union.

The Church and the Bible.

We may safely say that no church,
which does not give it's true place to the|
Bible can long retain its spiritual life.|
In recent years the Bible has been sub
jected to the fiercest and most minute|
criticism; and as genuine porcelain, j
though broken into fragments and eX-
posed to the hottest fire, still retains|
its inimitable tint and distinguishing
characteristics, so the Bible has GOMEZ
out of the fiery ordeal not only unin-
jured, but shining with brighter lus-
ter and with more definite and unmis-
taxable meaning. But some have read
more about the criticisms on the Bible
than the Bible itself, and the effect has
been to impair their estimation of the
sacred Book. Now the Bible, as the
grand magazine of all divine and spirit
ual knowledge, must ever be to us the
Book, the one Book, the Book of books.
1t is to us what no other book can be.
1t is unique among all other books. 1t
is unique not because of its accuracy
of historical facts, its teachings on
science and philosophy, the rhythm of
its poetry, or the simplicity and beauty
of its literary style, but in the fact that
it is the Word of God. We must be-
lieve and cling to it as such; we must
read and study it as such; we must
treat and speak of it as such. The church
life must necessarily be like that on
which it feeds; and if that life feeds on
the Word of God it will grow in spiritual
robustness and vigor, in purity and
depth of feeling, in majesty and divin-
ity of form. Christian Journal.

My guardian has no right to dictate
any longer"
Humphl" said DIR. Melton, passing
his hand over his beard "And you
are from Philadelphia, too?" he added,
turning to Mr.. Dunbar.
CT am" was the curt response.
"Your name sounds familiar" said
the parson. "Could have seen it the
other day in list of passengers for
Europe?"
He scanned the faces before him.
The mans jaws clicked; the girls flush
deepened into crimson.
"We are free to marry" said Mr..
Dunbar. "There is no reason why we
should not be man and wife. If you
won't perform the ceremony I'll find
some one that is willing. We have
with us my uncle and aunt; but there is
no use in wasting words. Will you
marry us?''
"Yes," said the parson. Then he
asked few formal questions, and then
married them according to the ritual of
the Dutch church.
"
Two carriages were waiting outside.
One went to the north, the other to the
south; but the parson watched the one
that went to the south, for in that sat
man and woman whom he believed he
had made happy for life, SO far as
welded bliss brings happiness.
He returned to the study and gave
the wedding fee to his daughter, who
bore it off in triumph to her mother
"Does this sort of thing happen
often?" asked Mr.. Leigh.
Not precisely this sort of thing.
The bride and groom were not girl and
boy, neither did they belong to what you
would call a common class. BY the way,
it was Philadelphia party-a William
Dunbar"
Mr.. Leigh started from his chair.
Dunbar!" he repeated. And the
girl?"
Kate Perry-Katharine, rather"
Mr.. Leigh stared at him vacantly.
My wardl" he cried, in sudden anger.
And after all l told you'll Why didn't
you call me in there?'
How was l to know that" asked
DR.. Melton. You never mentioned the
name of your ward or her lover. You
simply called him the hardware man."
Mr.. Leigh walked out of the library,
took his hat and stick, struggled into
his overcoat and left the. house without
vouchsafng another word to his host
The parson showed him out, and
looked at him walking swiftly down the
street. When he went to his study
again he had by no means the craven
air of man who had done a dastardly
deed. On the contrary, he laughed out
right as he sat down at his desk
whereon lay the notes of his Sermon

Protesting Christians.

There is large class of processing
Christians whose Christianity is limited
to desire to be saved They are
always anxious about the extent of
indulgence in worldly pleasure allowed
to the Christian. Their burden con-
sists Of dread lest they exercise
little more self-denial than is absolutely
necessary, and thereby lose some
coveted pleasure. A lady of this class
once asked her pastor if he really
thought it would be wrong for her to
attend certain dancing entertainment.
She wanted to 60 ever so much, but
would not go if she were quite sure that
it would be wrong. The minister re-
piled: MY dear sister, when you be-
come converted you won't ask such
questions" And that sentiment covers
the whole ground.-E'rchange.

A Revival at Home.

We deeply want revival of domestic
religion. We have been saddened at
the terrible accounts of impurity of this
city; but doubtless one cause of this
state of things is the neglect of house
hold religion among Christians and the
entire absence of common decency in
many of the lodgings of the poor. The
Christian family was the bulwark of
godliness in the days of the Puritans;
but in these evil times hundreds of
families of so-called Christians have no
family worship, no restraint upon
growing sons and no wholesome in
struction or discipline. See how the
families of many professors are as
dressy, as gay, as goddess as the chill
dren of the .non-religious! How can
we hope to see the kingdom of our
Lord advance when his own disciples
do not teach his gospel to their own
sons and daughters? Have we not
need to repeat the lament of Jeremiah?
f" Even the sea monsters draw out the
breast, they give suck to their young
ones: the daughter of my people is be-
come cruel, like the ostriches in the
Wilderness" How different this from
the father of the faithful, of whom the
Lord said; 81 know Abraham, that
will command his children and his
household after him, and they all shall
keep the way of the Lord!" The surest
way to promote godliness abroad is to
labor for it at home. The shortest

Little Sins.

You make light of them now, but they
are not to be trifed with; they creep on
so stealthily that you scarcely notice
them; by-and-by you will find it i'm
possible to turn them out. 1 think of
the Indian story of the tiny dwarf, who
asked the king to give him all the
ground he could cover with three
strides. The king seeing him so small,
said, Certainly" Whereupon the
dwarf suddenly shot up into large
giant, covered all the land with the first
stride, and the water with the second,
and the third knocked the king down
and then took his throne.-The Sun

Restful Prayer.

Prayer, says the Independent, is not
ought to be oftener, thanksgiving. 1t is
sometimes confession. 1t is sometimes
alteration. 1t is often an uttered and I'M
utterable communion. That is beau
tiful illustration of one phase ofprayer-
the communion phase-which is re-
lated of the little girl of a hard-worked
and somewhat nervous clergyman, who
could only compose to advantage when
he was absolutely alone and undisturbed.
One day he thoughtlessly left his study
door unlocked, and his little three
years-old child softly opened the door
and came in. The minister was dis
turbed, and little impatiently lifted
up his face to the face of his child, and
asked: My child, what do you want?"
" Nothing, papa" Then what did
you come in here for?" g Just because
I wanted to be with you," was the re-
ply, and the little one sat down quietly
on the floor, and said not a word.
Surely that is a form of prayer that we
need to cultivate in this busy day of
ours. To come into his presence and
wait before him, wanting nothing but
to be with him-how such an hour now
and again would rest us. We have a
friend, not Christian, who leaves his
business place downtown, now and
again, especially when he is being par
ticularly burdened with care, and rides
up to the great Catholic Cathedral on
Fifth Avenue, where he sits down for
an hour, and then goes back again to
business. He says: 1t is so quiet
there, it rests and quiets me-" How
much more might we find sweet and
quiet resting-place for our weary and
tired souls and bodies by just resting
in the Lord, sitting without petition at
his feet, or, as John, leaning our heads
upon his bosom.-1he Watchman.

Wait for Me.

Seward runs the little stream
Where the WAGNER cools his team,
Where, between the banks of moss,
Stand the stepplng-stones to cross.
Ger them comes little maid,
Laughing, not a bit afraid;
Mother, there upon the shore,
Crossed them safely just before.
This the little lassles plea
Wait for me, wait for mel
All, so swift the waters run
One false step twas all undone;
Little heart begins to beat.
Fearing for the little feet.
Soon her fear will all be lost
When the stepping-stones are crossed.
Three more yet ON which to stand
Two more, one more, then on landl
IT'S the little lassies plea
wait for me, wait for mel
All, for you, my laughing lass,
When the years have come to pass,
May one still be near to guide,
While you cross life's river wide.
When no helping hand is near,
None, II you should call, to hear
Think, however far away,
Mother still knows all you say;
Fen in heaven heeds your plea
Wait for me, wait for me!

Begin, and then the church is still;
While back and forth across the aisle
Is seen to pass the catching" smile.
1--WE all like sheep" the altos moan,
In low and rich and mellow tone;
While broader grows the merry grin,
And nose gets further off from chin.
1--WE all like sheep" sopranos sing,
Till all the echoes wake and ring
The young folks litter. and the rest
Suppress the laugh In bursting chest.
1--WE all like sheep" the bassos growl,
The litter grows into howl,
And cen the deacon's face is graced
With wonder at the singers taste.
