Remember how our Lord behaved under
such exasperatl0ns. Did they not try
to catch Him In His wordl Did they
not cali Him the victim Of intoxicautsl
Did they not niisinterpret Him from the
winter Of the year l to the spring OF the
year 80: that is, from His first infantile cry
to the last groan of His assassination. Yet
He answers not q word. But 50 far from
demolishing either His mission or His
good name. after near nineteen centuries
He outranks every thing under the skies
and is second to none above them and the
archangel makes salaam at his fooistool.
Christ's bloody antagonists thought
that likely they had finished Him
when they wrote over the cross
His accusation in three languages,
Hebrew and Greek and Latin, not realizing
that they were by that act introducing Him
to all nations. since Hebrew is the holiest
language and Greek is the wisest Of
tongues and Latin the widest spoken. You

virtues through the wrong end Of . tele-
scope Pharaoh had the chief butler and
baker endungeoned, and tradition says that
al the butler had done was to allow fly
IN the Kings cup and all the baker had
done was to seave gravel In the Kings
bread.
The world has the habit Of making Q
great ado about what you do wrong and
forgetting to say any thing about what you
do right, but the same God will take care
Of you who provided for Merlin, the Chris
tian martyr, when hidden from his pursu-
ers in hay NOW in Paris, and hen camo
and layed an egg close by him every morn
ing, thus keeping him from starvation.
Blessed are they that are prosecuted,
although persecution is q severe cat
splasm. Ointment may smart the wound
before healing it. What . soft pillow to
die on II, when we leave the world, we can
feel that, though . thousand people may
have wronged Us, we have wronged no one:
or, having made envious and jealous At
tacks on others, we have repented Of the
sin, and as far a. possible made reparatiou.
The good resolution Of Timothy Poland in
his quaint but exquisite hymn, entitled,
Most Any Day." we might well unani
mously adopt:
Wen keep all right and good within.
Our work will then be free from sin:
Upright we'll walk through thick and thin
Straight on our way.
Deal just with all; the prize ven win
Most any day.
When He who made all things Just right
Shall call Us hence to realms Of light,
Be IL morn. or noon, or cen or night
We will obey
Wen b prepared to take our flight
Most any day.
Our lamps well all brimful Of OH
That's good and pure, that would not spoil,
And keep them burning all the while
To light our way;
Our work all done we'll quit the soil
Most any day.

It is strange that, although the Per-

know how to ride. using the term in
our sense. They will canter or gallop

fort, but they will sit on their animals
