Acknowledge the Debt.

A venerable clergyman said recently:
Men of my profession see much of the
tragic side of life. Beside death-bed
the secret passions, the hidden evil as
well as the good in human nature, are
very often dragged to light have seen
men die in battle, children, and young
wives in their husbands arms, but no
death ever seemed SO pathetic to me as
that OF an old woman, member of my
church.
Il knew her first as young girl, beau
tiful, gay, full of spirit and vigor She
married and had four children; her hus-
band died and left her penniless. She
taught school, she painted, she sewed
she gave herself scarcely time to eat or
sleep. Every thought was for her chill
dren, to educate them, to give them the
same chance which their father would
have done.
"She succeeded; sent the boys to col
lege, and the girls to school. When they
came home, pretty, refined girls and
strong. young men, abreast with all the
new ideas and tastes of their time, she
was wornout, commonplace old woman.
They had their own pursuits and COM
panlons. She fingered among them for
two or three years, and then died of some
sudden failure in the brain. The shock
woke them to a consciousness of the truth.
They hung over her as she lay uncon-
scious, in an agony of grief The oldest
son, as he held her in his arms, cried:
"' You have been good mother to us p
" Her face colored again, her eyes kim
died into smile, and she whispered
You never said SO before, John Then
the light died out and she was gone"
How many men and women sacrifice
their own hopes and ambitions, their
strength, their life itself, to their chill
dren, who receive it as a matter of course,
and begrudge caress, word of graft
tude, in payment for all that has been
given to them
Boys, when you come back from col
lege, don't consider that your only rela-
ton to your father is to "get as much
money as the governor will stand" Look
at his gray hair, his uncertain step, his
dim eyes, and remember in whose service
he has grown old. You can never pay
him the debt you owe; but at least &C.
knowledge it before it is too late.

SelfHumbling.

Learn OF Me, for I am meek and
lowly in heart" Observe the argument
here. Men are unwilling to come to Je-
sus because it involves the self-humbling.
They think they sacrifice their manhood
by becoming meek and lowly, that is, by
laying aside pride and self-suficiency,
and by becoming submissive to God in
all things. Such Jesus addresses with
an argument unanswerable. He, the
man Christ Jesus, was meek and lowly.
Did He lack any element of true man
hood Nay, he was the truest specimen
of man that ever trod the earth. Even
in6dels have confessed this, and admired
this sole perfect specimen of humanity.
To you, 0 proud man Jesus speaks and
says: Come unto me and humble your
self By doing so you will not lose, but
gain, true manhood, for l am meek and
lowly." Surely it is no mark of man
hood to swear, to drink, to give way to
passion, to live selfish live Any fool
can do those things with as great facil-
ity as you 1t is 10 sign of manhood to
swell with pride. Satan can beat you at
that business. When you swell with
pride you are most like the devil.-H

Dark Nights.

Who can wonder that bad men dread
the stiffness of the night? Silence
What dreadful thing it is. Travellers
tell us that the frowning precipices of
Sinai are not in themselves so awe-in-
spring as the stiffness of the desert.
Asaph says: II am sc troubled that l
cannot speak" Most great troubles find
sthe gateway of speech too narrow for
words to pass out, and it is better to be
silent than to mock our thoughts by poor
Interpretation. What biographers we
should have if we could read mems true
thinking and how little there would be
of that unreal goodness which spoils the
most biographies. Then Asaph wanders
back in Thought to days when he did
speak, when with full heart his speech
turned to song AS he meditates, we
see that life had not always been sad and
silent with him. He once had songs
and what be had once he feels and knows
that he may have again unless God HIM.
self has changed in His nature and His
name The darkness may have blotted
out to-day's light, but it cannot destroy
yesterday brightness. There are no
birds in the forest to-day, but there were
once, and when the spiritual winter sea-
son has gone they will come and sing
again. Il will remember the works Of
the Lord surely l will remember Thy
wonders of old" Just before this he re
membered God and was troubled. So
here is another kind of memory. 1t is
coming over the vineyards and the olive
grounds this time; coming, too, over the
old harvest field, where the songs of the
reapers once arose. Dear angel memory,
let this be thy blessed work with Us In
the night let US call to remembrance our
past soug- TIE QujUer.

Keep Good Heart.

Servant of Christ keep good heart
listen to thy Masters feet behind thee,
unfolding and cheering thee on. He
will soon come and pay thee thy full
wages-will wipe the sweat of toll from
thy brow, and wreathe it with an anna
ranthine crown of glory, honor, and i'm
mortality. Then comes the welcome and
reward: Well done, good and faithful
SCI want, enter thou into the Joy of thy
Lord With such service, and such
recompense, who with but glowing
spark of the love of Christ IN his heart,
will not exclaim: Here, Lord, am I,
what wilt thou have me to do? I have
but one life-thou hast bought it with
thy life blood; be it thine, thine wholly,
forever thine. Christian, be up and
doing-why stand ye idle all the day
Go, work in your Lords vineyard. With
a significance more profound, and with
an earnestness more than that with which
the words were uttered by the Moham-
medan chief, pointing his sword to earth
and then up to heaven, we would say to
you: Here is the place of labor, there
is the place of rest"
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1886-06-09
The Wisdom of Silence.

have read somewhere the following
arrangement for avoiding family quar-
rels: You see, sir, said an old man,
speaking of couple who lived in perfect
harmony in his neighborhood, "they' d
agreed between themselves that when
ever he came home little contrary and
out of temper he wore his hat on the
back OF his head, and then she never said
a word and if she came in little cross
and crooked she threw her shawl over
her left shoulder, and he never said a
word" AS it takes two to make a quar-
rel, either the husband or the wife might
often prevent one by stepping out of the
room at the nick OF time; by endeavor-
ing to divert attention and conversation
from the burning question: by breathing
an instantaneous prayer to God for calm
ness before making any reply; In word,
by learning to put in practice on certain
occasions the science of silence. Robert
Burton tells of a woman who, hearing
one of her "gossips" complain of her
husband Impotence, told her an excel
lent remedy for it. She gave her glass
of water, which, when she brawled, she
should hold still in her mouth. She did
so two or three times with great success,
and at length, seeing her neighbor, she
thanked her for it, and asked to know
the ingredients. She told her that it
was g fair water, and nothing more
for it was not the water, but her silence,
which performed the cure.
He who has learned the science of
silence may hide ignorance. and even &C
quire a reputation for knowledge and
wisdom A story 10 told of the painter
Zeuxis how he reproved certain high
priest of Great Diana of the Ephesans,
who discoursed Of pictures in the artist g
studio with 80 reckless an audacity of
ignorance that the very lads who were
grinding colors could not refrain from
giggling, whereupon Zeuxis said to his
eloquent friend As long as you kept
from talking you were the admiration Of
these boys, who were all wonder at your
rich attire and the number of your ser
wants but now that you have ventured
to expatiate upon the arts of which You

was taken for great man so long as he

but, having spoken, not the beadle Of a

The Soriptorium of the Monas-
terV

In the days of King John people had
so little idea of the possibility of the
printing press that they were almost
equally ignorant of such material as
paper for literary purposes. Yet it is a
huge mistake which has not yet been ex-
ploded, as it ought to be, that reading
and writing were rare accomplishments
in the thirteenth century. knowledge
of certain kind was disseminated far
more effectively and far more univer-
sally than is generally believed. The
country parson was expected TO be the
schoolmaster of bis parish, and generally
was so, and there was hardly village
in England during the reign of Henry
III. in which there were not one or more
persons who could write clerkly hand,
draw up accounts in Latin, and keep the
records of the various petty courts and
gatherings that were continually being
held, sometimes to the annoyance and
grievous vexation OF the rural popula-
ton. The professional writers were so
numerous, and their training so severe,
that they had got for themselves priv.
leges of a very exceptional kind; the
clerk took rank with the clergyman, and
the writer of book was almost as much
esteemed as its author. The scriptorium
of great monastery was at once the
printing press and the publishing Office.
1t was the place where books were writ
ten, and whence they issued to the world.
With the traditional exclusiveness of
the older monasteries there was less de-
sire, no doubt, to diffuse and dispense
than to accumulate books, but the COM
posing and the multiplication of books
was always going on. The scriptorium
was great writing school too, and the
rules of the art of writing which were
laid down there were so rigidly and Sc
verely adhered to that to this day it is
not difficult to decide at glance whether
book was written in st. Adams or St.
Edmund's Abbey. Sometimes as many
as twenty writers were employed at once,
and besides these there were occasionally
supernumeraries, who were professional
scribes, and who were paid for their SER
vices; but nothing short of perfect pen
manship, such trained skill, for instance,
as would now be required of an engraver,
would qualify copyist to take part in
the finished work which the copying OF
important books required.-The Quar-
terly Review.

The Master and His Disciples

The Master, thinking only of the cross
with It's foul dishonor the disciple think
ing only of the throne and their own
prominence. And so the lonely Christ
goes on His dreadful way. o, it is a pic
ture, not of the past only, but of to-day
These things happen in our midst-
Christ unable to teach us whathe would;
our sympathy withheld and the soul full
only of its own Importance and its own
advantage
Eagerly letus ask-Whati is the remedy
for this dreadful possibility ? A few
months have gone by, and now look at
these same disciples. Here is Peter
standing up and boldly proolaimiug J esus
Christ and Him crucifed. They can
think Of nothing else. 1t is not that
TRANSPORTED Christ of whom they never
weary of talking-not Christ with Moses
and Elias-it is of Christ crucifed. They
are redeemed with the precious blood of
Christ, as OF lamb without spot or
blemish. That is their JOY and glory
now. And what is become Of their diff
ferences? They are all forgotten. They
all continue daily with one accord, and
live together with singleness of heart.
And what now of their swelling ambi-
tons? They are swept utterly away
Listen And having beaten them, they
commanded them that they should not
speak IN the name Of Jesus. And they
departed from the presence Of the council,
rejoicing that they were counted worthy
to suffer shame for His name
What has happened? They have re-
ceived the Holy Ghost. The eyes Of
their hearts are opened to see what they
have in Christ, and what Christ has in
them. In Him, now Prince and a
Saviour risen and Almighty Lord /;
and in them He has servants and follow
ers who count not their own lives dear
unto themif they can but love and glorify
| Him.
And now that is what we have to do
to receive the Holy Ghost for this revela-
ton and enlightening; to open the doors
and windows of the soul for His incom-
ing to surrender ourselves to His preci.
Gus promptings and guidance; to read
the Word in His light, and to be led OF
the Spirit.-ReU. Marx Guy Pearse.
