A Debt Never "Outlawed."

If body of individuals decide to
build temple that, when completed, is
given to God in solemn ceremony, any
bills which this body of individuals
may create and which remain unpaid
are most clearly their debts, and not
Gods at all; nor is it just that Gods
temple should be sold to pay their
debts. God is not in debt, but these
individuals are, and that, contrary to
Gods command, and being their indi-
vidual debt, their individual property is
as Justly bound to the payment of this
as it is bound to the payment of any
other debt An honest congregation
can not take refuge behind the civil
law any more than an honest indi-
vidual can. Neither can a church debt
become " outlawed.n If it ever be-
comes outlawed it can never become
outgospeled. A "church debt" So
called, but really the congregation
debt, remains in force as long as the
persons live who made it, and they are
bound to it by every sense of honor, by
every manly principle and every law of
God; neither can they rid themselves of
this obligation by separating themselves
from the organization or removing
into the limits of another congregation.
The obligation is a personal one, I'M
affected by time or place and only re-
lieved by payment or death-and then
their estate is justly holding. When
people shall come to look at this in its
true light, they will not be so fast to
create "church debts. "-MethOdS o.

The Sight of God.

Do we not sometimes occupy so low
plane of spiritual living that view
of God is absolutely impossible
We look intellectually unto the hills
whence cometh our help" but all in
vain. How are we to make the dis
covery of God? for it can not be that
we are destined always to live without
this sight. Jesus has shown us how
God may be seen. Blessed" he says,
ARE the pure in heart, for they shall
see God" He does not make reasoning
about God condition of seeing. He
does not tell us that it depends upon
some great work on our part, nor upon
any remarkable strength of intellect,
but upon one single attainment-heart
purity. How important that this power
to see shall not be impaired. If the
smallest dust of human passion or
prejudice is permitted to remain how
quickly will the interior eye grow dim.
Anything that tends to evil--the love
of the world, the pride of life, sinful
anxiety about temporal things, the irri-
tating particles of envy or ill-wil, self
ease and sloth, all these will bring the
soul into a moral eclipse. Happy in
deed is every one who really enjoys this
experience. Let all such remember
that it is only retained by humble trust
in the merits of Christ and a cor
responding life of obedience to his
will.-iSelected.

ard therefore / want we to get rue a
place to stay" When the old man had
finished his quaint petition and they
had started on his younger brother
gently suggested to him that he thought
his prayer was rather free in its form
of expression and hardly so reverential
as seemed proper to him in approach
ing the Supreme Being. But the old
man did not accept the imputation of
irreverence. He's my Father" said
he, " and he's well acquainted with me,
and take great liberties with him."
So they went on to the meeting to-
gether. The old man stood for awhile
in the rear, making an ear-trumpet of
his hand to catch the words, until some
one noticed him, and, reckoning him
forward, gave him good seat upon the
front bench. A lady who had noticed
his shoes asked him at the close of the
service: Are these the best shoes you
have?" Eyes," said he, but | expect
my Father will get me a pair soon"
Come with me-" said the lady, "and
/ will get you new pair. Shall you
stay to the end of the meetings? -
" would, but / am stranger in this
place and have nae siller." We'll, +"
said she, "you shall be welcome to
make your home at my house during
the meetings." The old man thanked
the Lord that he had given him all that
he had asked for, and, while his brothers
reverence for the Lord was right and
proper, it is possible that he might have
learned that there is reverence that
reaches higher than the forms and con-
ventionalities of human taste, and
which leads the believer to come boldly
to the throne of grace and to find all
needed help in every trying hour.-Ihe

Other Peoples Affairs.

"What makes every one love to be
with you?n the sweet, simple, I'M
affected and very lovely Princess Alice
once asked her grandmother, the
Duchess of Kent. {" am always so
sorry to have to leave you, and so are
all others who come here. Won't you
please tell me, grandma?n The old
lady smiled, and for a moment that
was all she did. The Duchess of Kent
knew the secret of her influence over
her friends, hut how to explain it with
out vanity or egotism to this most
natural and truthful little girl at her
side was not altogether an easy task.
Alice's sweet directness could never be
put off with pooh-pOoh or disclaimer,
as the dear old lady knew from an
intimate acquaintance with her charac-
ter. CT think, my child, that this is
the reason" the duchess replied at last.
/ was early instructed that the way
to make people happy was to appear
interested in the things which interested
them-namely, their own affairs-and
this could only be accomplished by
burying ones grief. annoyance, salts
faction or JOY completely out of sight.
Forgetfulness of ones own con-
Germs, my dear, smiling face, a word
of sympathy and unselfsh help, where
it is possible to give it, will always make
others happy, and the giver equally So"
Such counsel as this took deep roOtin the
heart and mind of the beautiful princess,
and her brief but exceptional life proves
the wonderful power of unselfish re-
gard for others. Where could better
lesson for all our girls be found than
this one, given so many years ago by
the aged duchess? Other peoples
affairs? Why, our own affairs are of
infinitely more importance to us, and
yet, if we take the trouble to look
about us, we are sure to find that the
most agreeable and helpful persons are
those who lend ready ear to the sor-
rows of others and keep close mouth
concerning their Youths Com

The Old ScOtchman's Prayer.

l was pleased the other day with a
story which an aged man told me about
an old Scotchmau who was on his way
to some mission-week services. The
old pilgrim was poor and ill-clad and
partially deaf, but he trusted in the
Lord whom he served and rejoiced in
his kind providence. On his way to
the meeting he fell in with another
Christian brother, a younger man ,
bound on the same errand, and they
travelled on together. When they had
nearly reached the place of meeting it
was proposed they should turn aside
and have little prayer. They did so,
and the old man, who had learned in
everything to let his requests be made
known unto God, presented his case in
language like the following: " Lord, ye
ken weel enough that Pm deaf and
that / want seat on the first bench if
We can let me have it, so that can
hear the Word; and ye see that my
toes are sticking through my shoes, and
therefore / want We to get me pair of
new ones; and we ken / have nae siller,
and want to stay during the meetings,

Eternal Rest.
by CHARLES L. COY.

BY CHARLES L COY
Mysterious night Ia gathering fast around
And snow is thickly falling. Not sound
Disturbs the magic stiffness of repose
That haunts this place of death at daylights close
Around about me in the uncertain light
Like moving spectres seem the head-stones white
The spruce and pine their branches bending low
Beneath their fast-ncreasing load of snow,
And weeping willows by the frozen stream,
Like bowed and sorrow-stricken mourners seem.
" Behold, o flesh, thy final resting'placel
Here must thou lie and rot with all thy race,
And here forever thou shalt Wondering lie,
The food of worms, for thou shalt surely die"
" But thou, O soul shalt leave this house of clay,
Where thou hast dwelt prisoner many day.
And, soaring upward through the heavenly air.
Shall realize thy long unanswered prayer;
For there, amid the glory of the best
Thou shalt forever dwell and be at rest.
Then God shall wipe away all tears and there
Shall be an end of weeping and despair.
Come quickly come, O Death, thou hast no sting
For one whose soul mounts high on heavenly wing
Thou art the great deverer from pain
The body's loss is but the spirits gain;
And glory, honor praise and worship be
To God, who giveth us the victory"

Stumbling-BlOc


Our Lord had spoken of professors
giving occasion of stumbling to others;
now he speaks of the occasions of
stumbling to themselves. Before a
professor of religion can be stumbling
block to others he must himself have
stumbled somewhere. Therefore the
wise thing for us all to do is to see that
we are not allowing stumbling-blocks
and snares for ourselves. If thy hand
or foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off.
If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out"
Jesus, y" says Chrysostom, does not
say these things of limbs, but of friends
and relations, whom we hold in the
rank of necessary members" But we
may carry ii much farther and apply it to
habits and things which have become
as dear to us as hands, feet and eyes.
Whatever interferes with our spiritual
life and the development of our Chris
tian character, whatever in us, which
we allow, that is an occasion of
stumbling to others, had better be cut
off and plucked out, though as dear as
members of our body and though it
seem to MAIN and mar our earthly life,
than to be retained and cause us to be
cast into hell fire. For all sins, when
wilfully INDUCED, become damning sins.
