The Crown via the Cross.

The Church of Christ in its most
exalted hours has never been afraid
to he in the unpopular minority. At
no time has it felt the force of the
sympathy and strength of the most
of the people, 1t seems threatening
evil now, but that is only because
we have turned our eyes toward if,
and see, as never before, the oyer
whelming danger. In the time of
the Reformation it was always the
few against the many. In all seasons
of revivals, after the great ingather-
ings, it was still only the units against
the thousands. There is no ground
for the present discouragement. They
that be for us are more than can be
against us. What is the Church for ?
Is it to drift along gently, and land
in a welcoming harbOr without a
struggle with the tide and tempest ?
Christianity, like every great histor-
ical movement, has won its way to
triumph, security, and beneficence
by passing through terrible ordeals.
The birth of Minerva from the brain
of Jove, full-grOwn and heavily arm
ed when she first lifted her spear,
and spoke her first word, was a beau
tiful dream of the early Greek. But
the Church of Christ must develop
by the slow and severe process. 1t
reaches its rest by sweat of brow and
twelve long hours of burning toll,
Nothing strong in truth or magniti-
cent in possession has ever come to
the Church by falling, as ripe fruit,
into its open hand, All the treasures
of Gods Kingdom on earth haYe been
won like pearls from the depths of
the ocean, and gold from the white
heated furnace. The birthplace of
the Church was at the foot of a cross,
1t gained its useful fiber and muscle
by the strain of three centuries of
flame and torture. Since then few
have been the years when some new
burden has not been placed upon it.
If the great multitudes swarm on ev-
cry side of 1t, some speaking foreign
tongues, and all without sympathy
with the holy institutions of the
Church, let US remember that this is
no novel picture. We must recognize
the Devine factor. God is always on
the side of His kingdom and the men
who love it.-BiShOp Hurst.

Common Sense Language.

Says the National Educator We
have frequently advocated in our COL
umns, the use of common sense An
glo-Saxon terms. 1t would be a vast
gain, not only in our educational
work, but even also in much of the
professional, and, particularly, in our
common everyday intercourse, if we
did confine ourselves more to good,
plain English.
1t is not presumed that we must
employ only monosylables or baby
talk, when we speak common Eng
lish, but it is we'll established that the
most forcible language is always the
simplest and most beautiful. The
English translation of the Bible is az
exemplification of this. How much
force is lost, and how ridiculous even
some of the most expressive passages
become, when foreign terms are SUBJ
stituted for the plain English. If in
stead of the plain words of the Lords
prayer "Our Father who art in
heaven, hallowed be Thy name," we
would say: "Our divine Progeni-
tor, who inhabitest the regions of
superlative benedictions /; permit thy
divine attributes to be sancified," we
should at once descend from the sub
Haa to the ridiculous. -

Our text book makers have failed
IN This direction. they have made
books tor our children which are en-
tirely at varience with all common

knows that our text book, in the
commonest branches even, such as
are designed for eight year old chill

Latin and Greek, if they would COM
prehend the terms employed. All
this is quite contrary to common
sense, and should certainly not be en-
couraged. not to say tolerated in this
progressive age.

obeyed her father until the next
meeting was nearly half through
then, slipping out without his knowl-
edge, and getting through hole in
the back yard fence, she hastily ran
to the meeting. 1t was some time
before her father missed her, but
when he found her gone, he went i'm
mediately to the meeting, where she
was Oh her knees with others for
whom the people of God were pray
ing. So enraged was he that he went
directly forward, and took her in his
arms to carry her from the place. AS
he raised her from her knees, she
looked up with a heavenly smile and
