Realistic Studies.

There are many presidents for the
minute study of second-rate people and
sordid motives. George Eliot has done
it, Balzac is master CT it, Flaubert
and lola have carried it to height of
perfection which is at once magnificent
and revolving, and most of us have
agreed long ago that the modern novel
list is properly concerned not with
ideal or types but with life as it broadly
is. But let us never forget that every
thing depends upon the mood of the ar
fist, upon the amber, so to speak, in
which these insignificant, ugly little
morsels of human nature are embalmed.
The matter may be what it will, so long
as the manner is large and genial, so
long as we are made to feel the great
world round about the small world of
the book and its characters, so long as,
while describing what is mean and
grotesque and revolving the artist bears
in mind that eternal source of magma
tive effect, the contrast between what
is ugly and what is beautiful, what is
noble and what is degraded. Beside
Tito we must have Romola; beside the
intrigues of Middlemarch the loftier
figure of Dorothea, while not even a
French realist dare give us mere greed
and cruelty unrelieved by the rash in
huence of passion. Otherwise from
mere realism one is apt to turn away
and to remind ones self that such rough
photography is not art.-PaU Mall Ga

The Promise Proved.

A poor traveller called upon certain
good man named Fenneberg to borrow
three dollars. This was the whole
amount possessed by this modern Ma
thaniel, but as the poor traveller asked
for it in the name of Jesus he lent him
all he had, even to the last penny.
Some time after, being in absolute
want himself, he remembered the fact
while at prayer, and, with child-like
faith and simplicity, he said: {" O Lord
| have lent thee three dollars and
thou hast not given them back to me,
though thou knowest how urgently |
need them. pray thee to return them
to me-" That very day letter arrived
containing money, which Gossner de-
livered to the good man with these
words, "Here, sir, you receive what
you advanced" The letter contained
two hundred dollars, which were sent
to him by rich man at the solicitation
of the poor traveller to whom he had
lent his all. Fenneberg, quite over
come with surprise, said, in his child
like way, "Oh, dear Lord, one cannot
say single word to thee without being
put to shame!"-LJe Of Pastor GoSSner.

The Portrait of Christ.

On the damp and gloomy walls of the
catacombs of sepulture and worship in
the monuments of the primitive Chris
tan church, on the portals and in the
apses of ancient Byzantine basilicas,
in stately cathedrals of the Middle Ages,
in the proud galleries of the worlds art
and even on the humble walls of the
lowiest homes, or in cherished books
of the poor, that strange and wonder
full face arrests the mind with celes-
tial thought and charms the magma
ton with the hope that we may hereaf-
ter see him as he is Whether depicted
in the coarse, rude lines of the earliest
sketches or in the finished touches of
the masters skill; whether sad and
painful with divine and human sorrow
or glorious in heavenly triumph the
same face is always represented. The
whole of Christendom is enriched by
these memorials of divine visitation.
With endless variations of lineaments
and expression there has always been
preserved a faithful adherence to the
general type of some ancient ideal. In
the midst of classic art, though about
the period of its decline, there suddenly
appeared the image of a strange but
complete personality, differing from all
pagan ideals. 1t was the Christi He
had come into the world and lived and
labored among men who cherished his
memory, and they desired to leave to
the ages to come some pictured re-
hinder of his human semblance. -

Busiest Christians Happiest.

The busiest Christians are the health
est and happiest. Those who know
most of the rest of faith are those who
most show their faith by their work.
The churches that prosper the best are
those that work the hardest. Good,
hearty, self-forgetting and regular work
in some form of real Christian service,
whether public or private, nominally
religious or not, is more certain cure
for lowness in ones religion than
quinine is for malaria. That pastor
was wise and skillful soul physician
who, when one of his church members
came to him complaining of doubts
and depression, cheerily exclaimed:
Doubts! what business has a Chris
tian with doubts? Just stop thinking
about them and go straight out and do
some work for Christ. 1.-THE Eraminer.

Life Preaching.

Very few people possess the gift of
rhetorical eloquence, but it is within
the reach of every earnest follower of
Jesus to rise to great eloquence in char
acter and conduct. The best preaching
after all is the preaching of the daily
life. No skeptic ever attempts to re-
flute that. 1t is self-evidencing. Rich
ard Cecil confessed that when he tried
in his early life to be a skeptic his godly
mothers life was too much for him.
He afterwards added to this that " his
first feelings of religion were made
stronger by seeing that truly pious
people had a genuine happiness that
the things of this world could not
give" Sometimes the pulpit discourse
is not clear to the understanding or i'm
pressive to the conscience. But the
" living epistle" needs no translation
or commentary; every child can under
stand it. l have known a poor sick
girl to become a 4" means of grace " to
a whole family by her quiet patience,
her serene trust and her tranquil Joy
under severe suffering. Jesus Christ
shone out through her lovely character
as a night lamp shines through trans
parent porcelain vessel and fills the
apartment with a gentle radiance. A
fearless Christian clerk of my acquaint-
ance makes himself felt in the same
way among his fellow clerks in the
store. Without any Pharisaic preten-
sions or assumptions he gives them
some admirable "object teachingn al
most every day by his square, manly
style of conscientious conduct. John
Al. Il 1
minister, said, in one of his lectures,
"If have right to consider myself a
Christian, if l have attained to any
usefulness in the church of Christ |
owe it in the way of instrumentality to
the sight of companion who slept
in the same room with me. He bent
his knees every night in prayer, and
that reused my slumbering conscience
and sent an arrow to my heart, for
although l had been religiously ed
ucated l had neglected prayer and
cast off the fear of God Ny CONVEX
sion followed and my preparation for
the work of the ministry. Nearly half
a century has rolled away since then,
but that little chamber and that pray
ing youth are still present to my i'm
agnation and will never be forgotten,
even amidst the splendors of heaven
and through the ages of eternity"
This testimony from the author of the
" Anxious Inquirer" and one of the
foremost ministers of his day, is most
impressive. Observe that it was not
what his roommate said, but simply
what he did, that wrought so potent an
influence. 1t was genuine life preach
ing, the unconscious influence of a
Christian act. This style of preaching
is within the reach of all ages and all
conditions of life.-T. L. Cuyler, IN
Evangelist.

Sleepy Sermons.

| heard story last summer about
Sturgeon from fine old friend which
| have not seen in the books. NY
friend said she was dining with him in
company when some talk was made
about the curious fact that we have to
note so often of ministers who do not
know when to stop, on account of their
age, but keep on preaching long after
the people have lost all interest in what
they have to say. Yes, yes" the old
man cried, >" it's all true. We are all
alike there. Why, if was forced to re-
tire from the pulpit should still take
my old sermons into the garden and
read them to the gardener until he
went off into deep slumber, with his
hoe in his hand" | wonder, also. as
| write this, whether we shall ever hit
on any sure method of keeping our peo-
pie awake to the end of the sermon.
The finest preacher, to my mind, on
the planet heard once of plan to 90
about with feather brush well laden
with snuff and put it under the sleep
er's nose, but he said he thought the
better plan would be to put the snuff
in the sermon. see note of worthy
man who was preaching one sultry day
and, noticing that his hearers were
nearly all asleep, came to dead stop
which woke them up, and then he said /:
My dear friends, this sermon cost me
a sight of pains. It's pity to throw
it away. So we will begin again with
the text" In New York city, in the
last age, a sound but sleepy divine
adopted another plan. He said: 81
notice about forty of us are asleep, sc
| will postpone the rest of my discourse
until we are all awake" A preacher
down in Connecticut, IN like trial anC
sorrow, said: 81 come now to the
third head of my discourse, to which
ask the candid attention of those who
are still awake" And a good old man
in Massachusetts fell on this plan. He
said: Brethren, this is a big church

And while he child their unbelief
Had Gained the tumults of their grief.

And rest in place of anxious fears.

They saw within his hands outspread
The wounds where cruel nails had been,
and kneg their lori had risen again.

All hope of pardoning grace for me
Seemed buried in Gethsemane.

The pages of my life he turned

And let me read his promises;

Hope lived again within my heart
I babe my gloomy doubts depart,
And joyful proclaimed my creed,
