"Mr. Mcbride is an honest, honorable
gentleman, no stain attaches to his
name, and he stands highest where he is
best known. He is poor man, because
he has been scrupulously honest in pub
lie life. He is one of the most popular
men that ever went ont from Stark

MisapprehensiOn of Prayer.

Prayer is made sort of half-savior.
Persons regard it as a meritorious work,
by which sin is removed and Gods
favor obtained. / do not mean that
openly any one would thus speak of it,
but in the secret heart of many who
are awakened to their lost condition
prayer is not seldom put in Christ's
place, and salvation is sought and ex-
pected from its practice. l could tell of
a lady who was once earnestly seeking
peace. One of her difficulties was that
prayer seemed such a burden to her.
" If could only offer one good prayer"
she said, 81 think l could get through"
But the reply was made to her that if
she could offer such prayer she would
at once trust in it instead of trusting
only in her Savior. The same thing
occurs very often among the poor and
illiterate. A friend went to see an
elderly woman in Wales, who was very
i'll. She had been working herself up
into perfect frenzy of prayer. Half the
night she had been crying out for mercy
and she began to hope that she should
thus obtain it. " 1t is pray or perish, ,"
she said, " so ! must 90 on praying till
die" But it was pointed out to her
that salvation depended upon her union
with Christ by faith, and the promise
was quoted" God so loved the world
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whatsoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life !"
(John iii 16). She was told not to fix
her thoughts on herprayers, but on her
Savior; and that when she looked to
him in her heart she might know she
should be saved. She learned the lesson
and found peace, and afterwards she
regarded prayer as privilege, but not
as work of merit. Bear this point
ever in mind. Never let prayer take
the place of Christ. Nothing, not even
prayer, must come between him and
the soul. The eye of the soul wants
evermore to be turned to him. Christ
in his finished work, Christ in his Office
as Mediator at the Fathers right
hand, Christ in his free promise, Christ
in his willingness and power to save to
the uttermost-here alone is the resting
place of every weary, anxious SOUL

Bells of Justice.


1t is beautiful story that in one of
the old cities of Italy The king caused a
bell to be hung in tower in one of
the public squares, and called it the
{" bell of justice" and commanded that
any one who had been wronged should
go.and ring the bell, and so call the
magistrate of the city, and ask and re-
ceive justice. And when in the course
of time the lower end of the bell-rope
rotted away, wild vine was tied to it
TO lengthen it; and one day an old and
starving horse that had been abandoned
by its owner and turned out to die
wandered into the tower, and, trying
to eat the vine, rang the bell. The
magistrate of the city, coming to see
who had rung the bell, found this old
and starving horse. He caused the
owner of the horse, in whose service
he had toiled and been worn out, to be
summoned before him, and decreed
that as his poor horse had rung the
bell of Justice, he should have justice,
and that during the remainder of the
horses life his owner should provide
for him proper food and drink and sta

Our King.

"Thy kingdom come" God is the
King, and it is best for his creatures
that they should obey him. He is King
over all other authority--King of kings
King over the conscience, King over
the heart, King over the body and
every party of the life, King over the
Church, King over the State; and it is
best for men in every relation when
they acknowledge him as King, and
submit themselves obediently and 10y
ally to him. He wants, dear friends,
to be King over you and me; and it is
best for us when we acknowledge that
claim of his-when you and l, trusting
God in Jesus Christ, can say: The Lord
is my Judge, the Lord is my Law
giver, the Lord is my King; he will
save me-" 1t is best and happiest for
us, and it is best and happiest for the
world, that his kingdom should come
that kingdom that he has in the Church
in which his truth is made known, his
claims acknowledged; in which he is
worshiped and served. That is the
kingdom of his grace, the kingdom of
his dear Son, the kingdom through the
operation of which he is asserting his
claims over this wide world. "Thy
kingdom come" you and l are to pray,
then, and you and are to work for it.

Ye Will Not.

read once a pathetic story of a lady
of one of our northern cities who pos
sessed rare refinement and great
wealth, but had lost her health. In
this sad condition she was advised by
her learned physician to visit one of
the tropical islands in search of that
which was of more value to her than all
earthly possessions. After she had
lived there for some time she wrote
back to her friends, saying, "This is a
most lovely place; the climate is per-
feet, friends are very attentive to me,
and the finest food and tropical fruits
are furnished at my command; but if l
only had an appetite" She had the
offer of all that heart could wish, but
lacked an appetite, and died in month!
If she could only have relished her
food she would have lived. And how
many there are all about us who are
dying spiritually because they have no
appetite for heavenly food! The water
of life is free, but they do not make
free to drink it, for the reason that
they do not care for it. For other
things they thirst-for wealth, pleasure,
fame-but not for eternal life. They
" would not" and so they die.-PreS-
byteridn.

Compensation.


In that world toward which our feet are set
Shall we find aught to make our hearN forget
Earths homely Joys and her bright hours of bliss?
Has heaven spell divine enough for this2
For who the pleasure of the spring shall tell,
When on the leaness stalk the brown buds swell
When the grass brightens and the days grow long,
And little birds break out in ripping song2
Oh, sweet the dropping eve, the blush of morn,
The start sky, the rustng fields of corn,
The soft airs blowing from the freshenng seas,
The sun-necked shadow of the stately trees,
The mellow thunder and the ung rain
The warm delicious happy summer rain,
When the grass brghtens, and the days grow long,
And little birds break out in ripping songl
o beauty manifold, from morn till night,
Dawn's hush Moons blaze, and sunsets tender light
o fair, familiar features, changes sweet
OF her revolving seasons, storm and seet,
And golden calm, as slow she wheels through space
From snow to rosesi and how dear her face,
When the grass brightens, when the days grow long
And little birds break out in ripping song!
What recompense have we from thee removed
one hope we have that 0yertops the whole
The hope Of finding every vanished soul
We love and long for daily; and for this
Gladly we turn from thee and all thy bliss
Even at thy lovliest when the days are long,
And little birds break out in ripping song.

A Lucky Warming.

While "a British brig was gliding
smoothly along before good breeze in
the South Pacific, three months ago, a
flock of small birds about the size,
shape and color of paroquets, settled
down in the rigging and passed an hour
or more resting. The second mate was
so anxious to find out the species to
which the visiting strangers belonged
that he tried to entrap specimen, but
the birds were too shy to be thus
caught, and too spry to be seized by
the quick hands of the sailors. AT the
end of about an hour the birds took the
briggs course and disappeared, but
toward nightfall they came back and
passed the night in the maintop.
The next morning the birds flew off
again, and when they returned at noon
the sailors scattered some food upon
the decks. BY this time the birds had
become so tame that they hoped
about the deck picking up the crumbs.
That afternoon an astonishing thing
happened. The flock came flving
swiftly toward the brig. Every bird
seemed to be piping, as if pursued by
some little invisible enemy on wings
and they at once huddled down behind
the deckhouse. The superstitious sailors
at once called upon the captain of the
brig, who rubbed his eyes and looked
at the barometer. A glance showed
him that something was wrong with
the elements, and the brig was put in
shape to outride the storm The storm
came about twenty minutes after the
birds had reached the vessel. For a
few moments the sky was like the
wateress bottom of lake-a vast arch
of yellowish midland torrents of rain
