THE KINGDOM.

"Tor behold the Kingdom Of God is With
YOU" -
Thy kingdom here!
Lord. can II be!
Searching and seeking everywhere
For many year,
"Thy kingdom come" has been my prayer,
Was that dear kingdom all the while SO near
Blinded and dull
With selfish sin.
Have been sitting at the gates
Called Beautiful.
Where Thy fair angel stands and waits
With hand upon the lock to let me in!
Was the wall
which barred the way.
Darkening the glory OF Thy grace,
Hiding the ray
Which, shining out as from my very Ince.
Had shown to other men the perfect day!
was I the bar
Which shut me out
From the full joyance which they taste
Whose spirits are
Within Thy paradise embraced -.
Thy blessed paradise, which seems so Tar!
Let me not sit
Another hour
Idly awaiting what Is mine to win,
Blinded in wit
Lord Jesus, rend these walls of self and sin,
Beat down the gate, that may enter IN. >.

TRUE RELIGION.
What It Il and How 1t Manifests Its fres-
ence In the Soul.

What It Is and How 1t Manifests Its fres.
ence In the Soul.
Religion is like sacrament; it has
its outward and visible signs, and its
inward fact, or things signified. Of
these, the latter is, beyond dispute. the
more important. Religion, the bond
between the soul and God, lives in the
habits, or acts, whereby the soul adj
heres to, and communes with, the in
finite source of life. 1t is made up of
faith, hope and love, pouring them
selves forth at the feet Of the invisible
King; it is by turns aspiration, wor.
ship, resolve; it expends itseIfin thou.
sand unheard, unuttered acts. where
by the human spirit holds converse
with its Creator. Sometimes it has its
eve on the Divine justice, and it 10
forthwith Cody fear; sometimes on tho
beauty and perfection of God, and IL
melts into love; sometimes on the souls
manifold sins and ingratitude. and then
it becomes shame and confusion; some-
times on the promises of Gods mercyin
Jesus Christ, and then il is repentance,
contrition, self-condemnation, resolu-
tons to amend. Religion, as it be-
holds the transcendent majesty of God,
prompts the soul to thousand acts of
alteration, praise and thanksgiving; it
summons the angels and the saints,
and the whole world of sentient and
even lnanimate creatures, to sympathy
and cooperation in the work of praise;
it bids the soul offer all that it has and
is to His service and His glory; it con-
graduates Him that He is what He is,
and rejoices that any other creatures
exist to set forth His praise; it desires
that all may be brought to know and
love him; it is full Of zeal for the ad-
vancement of His kingdom, and the do
ing His will. Above all, religion is q
humble and resigned temper, which
sees in the ills of life the just reward
of personal sin, and would take up the
cross, less from sense of necessity.
than from sense of justice; its Utmost
spirit is that of the psalmist: "A
broken and contrite heart. 0 God, thou
wilt not despise. DR.. Liddon.

Finding Fault With the Minister.

Mr.. Sturgeon puts into the mouth OF
"John Ploughman" the following home
ly bit of wisdom, which we commend
to any reader that may have magnified
his pastors imperfections: II never
knew good horse that had not some
odd habit or other, and l never saw a
minister worth his salt who had not
some crotchet or oddity. Now these
are bits of cheese that cavillcrs smell
out and nibble at; the first is too
tlowery and the second is too dull.
Dear m eff all Gods creatures were
judged in this way we should wiring
the doves neck for being too tame,
shoot the robins for eating spiders, kill
the crows for swinging their tails, and
the hens for not giving us milk. When
a man wants to beat dog, he can
soon find stick, and at any rate any
fool may have something to say against
the best minister in England"

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
A Humane Amendment to q Cruel La,
of the State of New York.

A Humane Amendment to Cruel Law
of the State of New York.
New York has not for many years
been disgraced by the existence of a
law authorizing Imprisonment for debt
pure and simple, but it has been within
the discretion of the courts to punish
alleged fraudulent debtors by an I'M
limited term of Imprisonment. A bill
was passed by the last Legislature of
that State, which, by the approval of
the Governor, has just become law.
limiting Imprisonment for debt in civil
actions to period of six months. The
effect of this humane amendment to
the old statute will be to set at liberty
large number of imprisoned debtors
throughout the State, who have been
incarceratcd for varying periods.
The cases of some of these ''poor
debtors" are such as to appeal strongly
to the sense of justice and humanity,
and the wonder is that the undue Sc
verify of the law was not long since
abated. The case of Augustine R. Nc
Donald, who has been lying in Ludlow
street Jail, New York City, for more
than eight years past, is one of this
kind. 1t appears that in 1873 McDon-
aid received an award from the Gov
eminent of 100000 for cotton de-
stroyod by the Federal troops during
the war of the rebellion. To Sc
cure this result he had expended
among the lawyers and lobbyists
of Washington about half the award,
and, with what remained, had gone to
New York City and embarked in sue
cessful brokerage business Soon
afterward he was arrested for nom
payment of a judgment of $4,000 in
favor of firm Of Washington lobby
lists, whom he had never employed and
never had heard of until confronted by
the Judgment, which had been OBJ
tanned by default and without any
notice to him. Being unable to furnish
bail, he was thrust into Jail, where he
would doubtless have remained until
his death but for the timely passage Of
the law referred to. As it is, he goes
out of prison broken-down old man
of sixty. to be dependent forthe rest Of
his life upon the charity of relatives.
1t seems strange indeed that ease Of
such hardship should, for so long q
time, have passed unnoticed, yet it is
said that he appealed to the courts
time and again for a trial of the case
on its merits, but without success. At
last the matter came to the notice of
some humane gentleman, who used it
with good effect in procuring an
amendment of the law.
New York is one among the few
States that have adhered to the old
idea of imprisoning men who could not
pay their debts, and it is an agreeable
thing to note this last change which
robs the law of much of the old-time
harshuess and cruelty.-Chieaso Jour-
nal.

A BOY GROWN UP.
How and When Good and Bad Msnners
Arc Formed.

How and When Good and Bad Manners
Arc Formed.
Young people rarely realize, when
criticising their elders, that the traits
or habits that seem to them obnoxious
were formed in early life. If their
manners are rude, if they lack tact, il
they are not we'll informed, it is be-
cause they have not made use of their
opportunities. Manners are the truest
indications of character. A discOurte-
Gus person is both careless and selfish,
for the best manners are but the ex-
preston of the Golden Rule; they are
the card of introduction to strangers.
A friend can introduce You to good So
ciety, but he can not keep you there;
that depends on yourself.
A boy of kindly nature is rarely rude.
A boy of selfish nature is polite only
when his own desires are not interfered
with.
Every man is the result of his own
boyhoOd and youth. If he has read
good books, kept himself informed on
passing events, he becomes what the
world terms well-informed, intelli-
gent man. If he has wasted his time
in trihing conversation, read only sem
sational books and papers, neglected
to develop the talent which he surely
possesses, he becomes superficial, .
tiresomc, If not a wicked, man.
If as boy he has not cultivated the
graces and amenities of life, he can
not expect to become that mos. de-
lightful of men, polished gentleman.
If as boy he has not studied to avoid
collisions with those about him, has
not recognized the rights of others.
has not cultivated desire to lead men
to higher motives, to give to others the
benefit OF his own opportunities, he
becomes that most unfortunate person,
tactless man; nuisance wherever
people are brought together. One Of
the lessons every boy can learn is to
watch those men who arouse adverse
criticism and carefully avoid their hab-
its both of mind and body. Remem.
Der the old adage: by others faults
correct your own. "-Car1stian Union.

Now what is our lesson? 1t is this:
God Is the Almighty. The scientist
says God is not Almighty. II indeed
He is even the author of law, He has
limited Himself by His own laws, and
can do nothing contrary to or above
them. But God says: l, not law, am
Almighty. What we call miracle is
not in any case necessarily violation
of law. We believe that all sO-called
miracles are wrought according to law.
The materialist insists that law is fixed
not only. as to operation but as to the
limit of its operation, as barrel organ
Is fixed as to the number of tunes which
can be played upon it. The Christian
and the Bible teaches that Gods laws
are like great pipe-organ with its
three or four banks of keys and multi
tudinOus stops. The number Of har-
monies which an intelligent organist
can produce from such an instrument
is almost, if not absolutely, infinite.
Who snail say that God can not open
another stop in nature, or touch new
combination of keys, and produce 4
new harmony of results? Shall il be
said that the Almighty can not control
and direct law to work out His own
will, and that He may not and can BOT
do new thing with and through law.
