Dividing a Bible.

An extract from letter from Miss
La Paz, a colporteur of the Ladies'
Bible Society of Philadelphia, in Ha-
vana, gives the following interesting
incident: 81 went to the suburbs of
Havana and called at very poor
house. did not know any one there,
but was invited to 90 in. | found an
old man and woman. After talking to
them for fifteen minutes l asked if they
would allow me to read the New Tesla
ment to them, and whether they had
Bible in the house. The man, who
was eighty-nine years old, went to his
room and brought half of Bible, COM
mencing at the Fifty-frst Psalm. l
asked them why they broke such
book as the Bible in such manner,
and he answered me as follows: When
l was twenty-five years old my mother
died suddenly, and all her property
was divided between my brother and
myself. We got along very well in the
division until we came to this Bible,
which my mother brought from New
York hundred years ago. My brother
and both wanted it, and neither of us
would give up, so there was nothing
else to do but to divide it, and we broke
it into two equal parts, and each took a
part, and each of us read it every day.
My brother went to Africa and stayed
there thirty years and when he came
back we changed, he read my part and
/ read his and both of us believed. ~

Wise and Unwise Living.

1t makes vast difference in our
prospects for the future whether, in
departing from this world, we leave be-
hind us our sources of happiness and
carry with us only the sources of misery,
or leave our miseries behind us and
carry with us only the elements of
good. That was very cutting rebuke
which our Savior put upon the lips of
Abraham, in the parable of the rich
man and Lazarus. Z" Remember" said
Abraham to the rich man, that thou
in thy lifetime receivedst thy good
things, and likewise Lazarus evil things /;
but now he is comforted and thou art
tormented." The one had all his I" good
things before death, and the other all
his :" evil things" The one, in dying,
left all his "good things" and the
other, in dying, left all his I" evil things. :"
Death gave to one the woes of hell and
to the other the joys of heaven. The
man who so lives here that all his lows
must be here will at death be a com
plete bankrupt for eternity. He, on the
other hand, who so lives here as to Sc
cure the rest of heaven hereafter will
at death enter upon that rest, and be
happy forever. There is no difficulty
in discerning the distinction between
these two lives, or in seeing which en-
bodies the true acknowledgement.

in grace was not TO be wondered at
when we reflect that the keynote of his
Christian life is found in the following
extract pasted on the hy-leaf of his
well-worn Bible: 4" will therefore Just
name few of those things which every
true Christian can safely pray for: The
knowledge of our complete acceptance
in Jesus; a more decided growth in
grace; increase in holiness; greater
spirituality of mind; more devotedness
to God; stronger faith in his word;
more habitual reliance upon Christ for
all things; a spirit of grace and suppli-
cation; a conscience increasingly ten
der; a greater regard for Gods glory
than our own advantage; more CRATE
full heart for our numerous unmerited
mercies; enjoyment of every new cove
nant blessing; more growing hatred
to sin, and more steady resistance of
it, even its first approaches, to be ena-
bled to bear more decided testimony
before the world of the truth and i'm
portance of religion, and furnish clearer
evidence of our being the children and
servants of God"

"Where Two or Three are Gathered
TOgether.v

A scanty assembly is dispiriting to a
speaker, and we have heard of such
case where the audience received his
money back, and no meeting was held.
Workers for Christ, however, conscious
that all things are under his control,
are fain to speak for him, even to the
two or three gathered together in his
name; for seeming failures may be blest
by him, and " Out of disappointment
flow sweetest odors yet" An advocate
of the Bible Society, who had much to
tell of the spread of Gods truth, found
himself confronted only by two of the
gentler sex; was it worth while to
fatigue himself by giving them the in
formation he had expected to pour
forth to listening throng? He had
come there to interest Christian hearts
in diffusing the gospel, and he knew
these two women could be used in some
way to widen the flood of spiritual light,
therefore he forgot the empty seats,
and told them what the Lord was do
ing by means of his Word in so many
hearts and homes. AT the end of his
discourse he went and stood in the
doorway to make a collection, knowing
that every little helps. Each lady in
retiring handed him something, and he
found that the work of the Bible So
ciety had been aided by collection of
forty pounds. Well might he speak
with cheerfulness and gratitude of that
quiet audience of two. Another Chris
tan worker wished to start a benevolent
scheme on behalf of soldiers, and went
as a deputation to the place where the
new society was needed, but where
nobody would take the initiative. The
hall was opened, and the deputation
waited some time, but only one gentle
man appeared. The following some
what amusing dialogue took place:
" Are you the deputation ?' " Yes;
my name is White" " Well, am the
audience, and my name is Black" Mr..
White and Mr.. Black were resolved to
float the society, and they held the
meeting, proposing, seconding and car
rying resolutions that found their way
to the papers and brought stream of
letters from people in high places say
ing the good work had long been
needed and heartily promising assist
ance. The "deputation " and "au-
dience " had the joy of knowing that
their meeting resulted in most benef-
cial scheme for the soldiers of the town.
Let none be discouraged by want of
numbers; God may mean us sometimes
to speak straight home to the heart of
one, and that one, in future days, may
become in his service as a thousand

A Wise Humming.Bird.

Wisdom does not depend on size, as
you all know, my dears. The ant and
the bee, in fact, often seem to know
more than the largest animals. The
humming-bird, too, though the smallest
of birds, is not lacking in intelligence.
A friend of the deacon tells pleasant
little story of one that was trying to Sc
cure the honey from flower with a
deep cup, and at the same time was
plainly very tired. The flower grew
near porch where family was sitting
and, seeing the trouble of the bird, a
young girl walked slowly toward him,
holding out her finger. The tired bird
looked sharply at her and then accepted
the offered perch, alighted on the fin
ger, and, when it was held close to the
flower, returned to his work of honey
gathering The girl stood quietly, and
he used her finger as resting-place
till he had finished his meal, when he
flew away home. A wise humming-
bird that, say land wise girl, too

Doing No Harm.

The story has been told of soldier
who was missed amid the hustle of bat
tie, and no one knew what had become
of him; but they knew that he was not
in the ranks. As soon as opportunity
offered the officer went in search for
him, and to his surprise found that the
man during the battle had been anus
ing himself in flower-garden. When
it was demanded what he did there, he
excused himself by saying, Sir, l am
doing no harm" But he was tried,
convicted and shot. What a sad but
true picture this is of many who waste
their time and neglect their duty, and
who could give their God, if demanded,
no better answer than, Lord, l am
doing no harml'-Gospel Trumpet
