ASSURANCE or VICTORY.

Nothing Can Defeat the Success Of Obedi-
ence and Loyalty to the Divine Will.
1t is an old truth, older far than
the great modern poet who put it into
verse, that the dreams of youth are
prophetic of the deeds of manhood.
Every true, earnest boy, opening to the
Erst fresh perceptions of the great world
Jout him, feels the rich results of life
already stirring within him, and knows
by sublime intuition that he was born
to command and to achieve. The ele-
ment of prophecy runs all through life;
it is the spiritual side of that will of
God which in the natural world science
calls law. Because that will is divine
and changeless, prophecy goes with it,
as the knowledge which enables the
astronomer to predict the eclipse goes
with the mastery Of the movements OF
the planets. The special individual
prophecies of the Old Testament are
impressive, but they are far less won
derful than that universal element of
prophecy which pervades it and sep
arates it forever from all kinds Of
kindred literature. That obedience
shall bring prosperity in the large
and noble sense of the word, and that
disobedience shall bring its inevitable
penalty, is not only the Divine law
disclosed there in the luminous letters
of history, but it is also the
twofold prophecy that runs through
all the diverse books and holds
them in the unity of common pur.
pose. And this same double prophecy
is fulfilled in all later history, and
in every individual life. There has
been no chance, no fate, no good OF
evil fortune, no accident, in the world
since the beginning the will of God,
disclosed in this universal law, has held
all things within its majestic circle,
and has declared at every stage what
the future must be.
No man need have any fear and un.
certainty about the future outcome Of
his life. Sorrow, loss and suffering
can not be calculated, but nothing can
defeat the success of one who sets him.
self to live and die by the will Of God.
A Divine prophecy runs with such q
life, and predicts its success from the
very moment of birth. There is nc
malign power in the universe which
can defeat it; all things are pledged to
its triumph. 1t was this prophetic
sense which penetrated the darkness oi
defeat in Judea three thousand years
ago and discerned the rise of that star
which should be a sun of hope to the
world; it was this sense which brought
Heaven within the vision of dying mar
tyrs; it is this sense which upholds
countless sorrowing and overburdened
hearts to-day. This prophecy spreads
its glory over your life if you walk with
your hand on that shining cord Of duty
which runs like a thread of gold
through the shadows of our mortality,

The Church must grope her way
into the valleys and courts and purlieus
of the city, and up the broken stair
case, and into the bar-room, and be-
side the loathsome sufferer; she must
go down into the pit with the miner;
into the forecastlc with the sailor; into
the tent with the soldier; into the shop
with the mechanic; into the factory
with the operatives; into the field with
the farmer; in the counting-room with
the merchant. Like the air, the Church
must pass equally on all surfaces of
society; like the sea, flow into every
nook of the shoreline of humanity;
and, like the sun, shine on things foul
and low as we'll as fair and high; for
she was organized, commissioned and
equipped for the moral renovation of
the world. Bishop Simpson.

RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.
m THE CROSS OF CHRIST.

In the Cross OF Christ glory"
Sweetly sung with llsping tongue.
Caught his lips the sacred story
Loved ones DER his cradle sung;
Caught bis ear the tuneful measure,
Ere his heart saw in the rhyme
AOrtafs hope OF Heavens treasure,
"Tow'Fing DER the wrecks Of Time.
"In the Cross Of Christ 1 glory"
Sang his youths maturer years,
Sang as blithely, promissory,
AS the lark when summer nearsI
When the woes of life 'ertake me-"
Rose as bubbles children toss,
"NeVer shall the Cross forsake me"
Ah, would he forsake the CrosS2
Elm the Cross of Christ glory,'
Proudly sang his manhood s prime,
Through his soul swept transit0ry
As the whispering wings Of time;
"When the sun OF bliss is beaning,"
All, so blindingly it shone,
From the Cross the radiance streaming"
Lighted up his lips alone.
"In the Cross Of Christ glory"
Sang trusting child again,
Bowed the head with sorrows hoary,
Now as humble, meek as then.
"Bane aud blessing, pain and pleasure"
All, all these his soul had tried:
Heart and lips poured forth the measure,
by the Cross are sanctined."
In the Cross Of Christ glory"
Tolled the bells in measures slow;
In the Cross of Christ glory"
Sang the singers sweet and low;
Spake the pastor Of the glory
"Tow'ring DER the wrecks of times"
Over There is heard the story,
"Gathered round Its head sublime.

If a silver dollar, though less in intrin-
sic value than . gaid dollar, will buy as
much for the poor man as he could buy
with gold dol ar, what difference does il
make to him WHISTLER the silver dollar is
made as fine in grains as he gold dol ar
If the purchasing power of the one is a.
great as the other it makes no difference
which dollar he uses. No doubt the sill
yer dollar ought to be made relatively as
va liable as the gold dollar. After all, il
is the confidence the people place in the
money that makes il valuable. 1t is the
confidence of the people in their govern
ment which gives value to everything
And as The people want their gold dollar
and their silver dollar and their paper
money based on gold value, for its com
mercial purchasing power, it makes no
difference to them what the charaC er OIL
the medium. the confidence Wi give il
value and when they lose confidence it
has no value. But if tie silver dollar will
not buy as much as thu gold dollar then
the silver must be made to correspond to
the gold, for on gold the whole world
conducts its business The great trouble
among the extreme gold advocate is, that
they cannot buy as much silver bullion
with silver dollar as they can with a
gold dollar. But, as but few people wish
to buy silver bullion, it makes but little
difference about the discrepancy between
the tH0 dollars. -Aarylana Journal.
