acter within the compass Of our COM
mon nature, so that, although we
may not hope that a fiery chariot
may descend literally for us as it did
for him, we can reach heavenly
home as he did. Only let us serve
our God, though in an humber
sphere, as he did, and in due time a
heavenly convoy, unseen by mortal
eyes, will bear us over the everlast-
ing hills, and we shall find ourselves
sharing with him the bliss of heaven.
The oft-repeated question that God
put to his prophet, "What doest thou
here, Elijah ?" may well be addressed
to us, in our moments of discourage
ment and despair. Obstacles rise up
in our way-opposition confronts us
from quarters we least expected
those on whom we relied suddenly
turn on us an unprovoked antagon-
ism-such things sometimes drive us
almost to despair, and we well-nigh
give up the struggle. Then the "still
small voice" whispers deep down in
our hearts, "What doest thou here,
disciple?" Why should we be dis
couraged in a cause to the success of
which the Triune God has pledged all
his resources, and to which every
angel in glory is committed ?

What Are Christians Good For ?

A Christian lady, who was engaged
in work for the poor and degraded,
was once demonstrated with for going
among such class of people.
"You sit beside these people and
talk with them in a way 1 do not
think you would do if you knew all
about them-just what they are
and from what places they come"
Her answer was, "Well, l suppose
they are dreadful people; but if the
Lord Jesus were now on earth, are
they not the very sort of people that
He would strive to reach? And am
/ better than my Master
A poor, illiterate person, who stood
listening to this conversation, said
with great earnestness and simplicity,
"Why, / always thought that was
what Christians were for"
The director was silenced, and what
wonder? Is not that what Christians
are for? If not, then what, in the
name of all that is good, are they for,

"Then / found out that must give

Which One Was It.

There is one of our Lords parallels
which seems to hold a special lesson
for young folk, and plain folk, and
poor folk, and folk in general who
have no great gifts of genius or wealth
or influence. 1t is the story of the
five and two and one talents. If an
uninspired pen had written that story
do you not think it would have APP
peared that the man with great privi-
leges had been to blame? But it is
not so recorded the man with five
talents seemed to feel his response
bility and to try to use it Alright, while
the man with only one despised his
small gift and at the last lost all.
1t must be, then, that what we call
the "ordinary run" of people are in
most danger of that dread sentence,
"Thou wicked and slothful servant"
1t is the small income that you arein
danger of using only for self, the
humble position in life that you are
too apt to hold with careless regard
to the people around and below you,
the meagre personal charm that you
allow to be lost through negligence
or laziness or bitterness or jealousy.
When the rank and file of ordinary
people-among whom most of us can
count ourselves-realize that the one
talented people are the ones upon
whom the worlds work rests, because
they outnumber the others a thousand
to one, and that by our Lords show
ing they are in most danger of neg
Letting that work-when they stand
up in their lots, each doing his best
then men will see "Thy kingdom
GOMEZ" and not till then.

The Power of Simple Confidence

a young man, distressed about his
soul, had confided his difficulties to a
friend, who discerned very quickly
that he was striving to obtain ever
lasting life by great efforts. He spoke
of "sincere prayers" and "heart-felt
desires" after salvation, but continu-
ally lamented that he did not "feel
any different in spite of it ALL"
His friend did not answer him at
first, but presently interrupted him
with the inquiry, "W---, did you

Good in Quality, But Small in Quan.
tity.
BY KNOXONIAN.

The potato crop of a Highland
farmer was good in quality, but there
were few in a hill. Somebody, asked
the good man how his potatoes were
progressing. Sandy's reply was char
acteristic-&e be rery goot, but ge,y
seldom.
Sandy's description of his potatoes
would apply nicely to great many
persons and things. Here is a parish
Toner who comes to church very ir-
regularly. He attends one Sabbath,
and remains away two. Then he
astonishes everybody by coming two
Sabboths in succession, but immedi-
ately afterward he remains away
three. He is apparently a respectful
nearer when in church. Nobody can
say anything against his demeanor.
He seems quite devout, and appears
to enjoy the service. His only fault
is that he never attends regularly.
He has the same defect as the High
land mans potatoes-&e be rery goot,
but ee,y sedan.
There is well-to-do man who pays
just SIS a year for the support of the
gospel. He expects heaven and all
that leads to heaven at the moderate
outlay Of 10 cents per Sabbath for
himself and his family. Ten cents
per Sabbath probably means in this
case cent apiece each Sabbath. Now,
this estimable, self-denying, self
sacrificing mans expenditure is good
as far as it goes. His dollar has 100
cents in it as well as any other mans
dollar. No doubt, it would be much
better for himself and his family and
his church if he gave $50 a year in
stead of $40, but still his money is
good. The only trouble is, that there
is not enough of it. His contribution
has the same fault as the Highland
er's potatoes-Me be very goOt, bit Ue,g
seldom.
Now look at this Sabbath school
teacher who comes in and sits down
beside his class of course, we say his
because no lady teacher ever attends
irregularly. He is on the whole 6
good teacher. He studies the lessons
well, and knows how to present the
truth. He feels fair degree of inter.
est in his class. He would like then
do well, and is grieved when they dc
not take an interest in their lessons
But this teacher, otherwise a gooC
one, has one serious defect. His at
tendance is irregular. This one de
feet neutralises to a considerable ex
tent all his good qualities. He is 6
good man when at his work, but hi
does not go at it often enough. Yol
might truthfully say of him wha

This statement is a source of no little

Fiction; and this is why James men,

whose magnificent history and glori-

history, with the infirmities and
weaknesses of our common nature.
The lion-hearted Elijah once fled
from that depraved woman, Jezebel,
in a moment of fear, even after the
miraculous scene on Mt. Carmel, lay
down under juniper tree, and pray
ed God that he might die, under an
agony of despair. We say, and per-
haps truly, that he gave way to cow
ardice; but doubtless there was
providence in it. The man that could
confront Ahab, and with the least
dread of the royal presence, denounce
the judgements of the Lord upon his
kingdom, and suddenly disappear,
one would suppose would not be
afraid of any mortal. But God some
times leaves even Elijah to himself,
doubtless to teach him that first of all

EDITED BY REV. f. L. LEEPER.
Coming---A King.
Golden Censor.

Golden Censer.
A King is surely coming to this
earth from heaven, so visible that all
the tribes of the earth shall see him.
We know not when he will come;
but we do know from the scriptures
how he is coming and what he is
coming for. About the time of his
coming mighty events will transpire;
there will be great tribulation, the
sun shall be darkened, the moon shall
not give her light, the stars shall fall,
the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken, the ungodly shall mourn, the
righteous shall shout, the graves shall
be opened. Dear reader, where will
you stand in that day? "The Lord
Jesus shall be revealed from heaven
with his mighty angels, in flaming
fire, taking vengeance on them that
know not of God, and that obey not
the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ"
He also "shall come to be glorifed in
his saints and to be admired in all
them that believe in that day." Were
that day today, on which of these
two sides would you be found? This
subject has been lost sight of by
many, and that in time when most
needed to be advocated; consequently
when he comes many will be taken
by surprise. watch, therefore, for
we know not when the Son of man
cometh." If this admonition was es-
sential 1900 years ago, how much
more so now in these latter days!
You can find more than / have
time to write of this blessed hope in
the same old Bible that you used to
hear your mother read. 1t is much
more prominent than many may sup
pose, occupying as it does place in
every thirty verses q the New Tesla
ment. Both patriarch and prophet,
apostles and angels, and even the
King himself, testified of his coming.
Believest thou these witnesses? II
so, are you prepared to meet such q
parsonage? DO you console yourself
with the thought that you may die
before he comes? He may come be-
fore you finish these lines. 1t is a fear,
full thing to fall into the hands of the
living God. Dying several times will
not equal meeting God once. Wheth
er you reject or receive these truths
their existence remains the same, anC
as rejected or received they become
the SAVIOR of death unto death or O
life unto life to your soul.
DO these lines disturb your con
science? Does peculiar yellow lus
tire over the sunset sky strike terror t.
your heart? Ifso, you are not pre-
pared to meet this King, and SHOULD
he find you thus unprepared, vol
would remain unprepared through
out eternity. 1t is certain that al
will not be prepared, for we read il
Luke xvii. "a sc, of two men in tn,

and believe with the heart unit,

"must be born again." and in orde
to see God you must have a pur

get sanctified wholly by faith, and b.

faith, unto salvation, ready to be re
vealed in the last time, and as an in

Queer System of Book keeping.


Chicago Journal.
A little man who runs a prosperous
drug store on Cottage Grove avenue
has system of bookkeeping that is
probably without a duplicate from
one end of the city to the other. His
distinguishing trait is an inability to
remember names. He has a score of
customers whom he has traded with
for years, and whom he knows by
sight as well as he does his own
brother, but whose names he could
not call off tosave himself from hang
ing. The consequence is, that, when
three or four of these customers have
called in one evening, and have made
small purchases which they wished
chalked up, his little book contains
entries something like this: "NIan
with the black whiskers: cigars,
twenty-five cents"; "The short
necked man paregoric, ten cents"
"The handsome man, with the gray
dilldalls, fifty cents worth ofJamaica
ginger" and so on. This is the only
set of bookkeeping that the little
drugstore man INDUCES in, and he
says his creditors are all good, and
never let him lose moneySby it. But
it would be interesting to know how
he'd address his envelopes if any of
his debtors let their accounts run
long enough to necessitate the send
ing out Of bills.
