Self and Worship.

How common it is to make self the
center of our thoaghts, even with
reference to God and Gods worship.
Men and women will say, for example,
that they find it more profitable to stay
at home on Sunday and read religious
books, or commune with God in their
privacy, than to go to church ard hear
the minister's sermon. But suppose
they are correct in SO thinking, does
that make it right for them to stay
away from church? Is their own per
sonal gain their chief incentive to
church-going? Has God no rights in
the matter? Is nothing due Him on
their part? God consents to be wor-
SHIPPED by His children here on earth.
God asks for the worship of His chill
dren here. If, indeed, His children
were not personally profted by their
duty-doing in this particular, is that a
reason why they should refuse to bear
Il part in the public worship of God?
No, no; the real question which con-
fronts one in this matter of church.
going is not: Shall be the personal
gamer by going to church? but: VIII
God be honored by my joining in His
public worship in the sanctuary?
Those who face this question fairly will
not forsake the assembling of them
selves together for Gods worship, as
the manner of some is.-S. S. Times.

Two Pillars.

In a certain district in Russia there
is to be seen solitary place, Il pillar
with this inscriptions: Greater love
hath no man than this, that man lay
down his life for his friend That
pillar tells a touching tale, which many
must have heard. 1t was wild region,
infested with wolves, and as little
party Travelled along, it soon became
plain that these We're on their track
The pistols were fired; one horse after
another was left to the ravenous
wolves, till, as they came nearer and
nothing else remained to be tried, the
faithful servant, in spite of the eX-
pOstulations of his master, threw HIM
self into the midst of them, and by his
own death saved his master. That
pillar marks the spot where his bones
were found; that inscription records
the noble instance of attachment.
But there is another nobler still. There
is another pillar, and on it | read:
Herein is love. not that we loved
God, but. that He loved us and sent
His Son to be the Precipitation for our
sins" That pillar is the Bible the
noble pillar of Scripture-written all
over with loving words, and telling of
salvation.

among his expenses and has made pro-
vision for every proper call upon his
liberality. The man must be unhappy
who is so careless as to have no place
in his plans for the church or for the
poor, or for any public philanthropy.
The secret of the painfulness of
benevolence, we are satisfied, lies pre-
cisely here. 1t matters not how little
a man gives if he gives unexpectedly;
the surprise, and the robbing of one
claim for another, explain his failure
to get the blessing of the liberal soul
who has devised liberal things.
We commend this plan-an old
apostolic one-to our readers. We
are not here urging them to give more.
We are showing them how to escape
pain and to secure happiness instead
of enduring pain. Let them plan be-
forehand for giving. Reckon with
this claim, as you do with others, be-
fore it pounces upon you. No matter
how little you give, the blessing of
giving will be lost if the money must
be deducted from something else. We
are confident, however, that the man
who forecasts and prepares for benev-
olence, and has money for the honest
demands of pity or religion, will come
to enjoy giving as he does not enjoy
paying, and increase in liberality as
well as in rich special blessings.-N.

A CURIOUS DREAM.
The Vision Of the Night Which Aided Prof.
AgassiZ.

The Vision of the Night Which Aided Prof.
Agassiz..
He had been for two weeks trying to
decipher the somewhat obscure i'm
preston of fossil fish on the stone
slab in which it was preserved. Weary
and perplexed he put his work aside at
last, and tried to dismiss it from his
mind. Shortly after, he walked one
night persuaded that while asleep he
had seen his fish with all the missing
features perfectly restored. But when
he tried to hold and make fast the
image it escaped him. Nevertheless,
hewent early to the Jardin DIES Plantes,
thinking that on looking anew at the
impression he should see something
which would put him on the track of
his vision. In vain-the blurred record
was as blank as ever. The next night
he saw the fish again, but with no
more satisfactory result. When he
awoke it disappeared from his memory,
as before. Hoping that the same ex-
perience might be repeated, on the
third night he placed a pencil and
paper beside his bed before going to
sleep. Accordingly, toward morning
the fish reappeared in his dream, con-
fusedly at first, but at last with such
distinctness that he no longer had any
doubt as to its geological character.
Still half dreaming, in perfect dark
ness, he traced these characters on the
sheet of paper at the bedside. In the
morning he was surprised to see in his
nocturnal sketch features which he
thought it possible the fossil itself
should reveal. He fastened to the
Jardin des Plantes, and. with his
drawing as guide, succeeded in CHS
cling away the surface of the stone,
under which portions of the fish proved
to be hidden. When wholly exposed,
it corresponded with his dream and his
drawing, and he succeeded in classify
ing it with ease.-Lye Of Agassiz.

PAPER PIPES.

An Invention Which Will Revolutionize the
Plumbers Trade.
In Vienna there were recently exhib-
tied gas and water service pipes made
of paper. The same kind of pipes will
do for many factory purposes, and for
laying electrical wires, etc., we should
suppose it to be specially useful. The
pipes, according to the Paper World,
are made as follows: Strips of paper
are taken, the width of which CORE
spends with the length of one pipe Sec
ton. The paper is drawn through
melted asphalt, and wound upon a
mandrel which determines the inner
diameter of the pipe. When the pipe
thus made has cooled, it is pulled off the
mandrel and the inside is covered with
an enamel, whose nature is kept Sc
cret by the makers. The outside is
painted with asphalt varnish and busted
over with sand. 1t is stated that such
a pipe will resist some two thousand
pounds internal pressure, though the
thickness of the stuff is only about half
an inch.-Scientifc american.
