Perhaps the greatest touch of beauty in a
character lies in its sensibility to the feel
ings of friends. 1t is sublime to be sensi-
BILE to noble deeds, to heroism in common
life. to feel inspiration from the courage
which one sees in another, to feel compass
sion for some one else How the tenderness
of Christ stayed by the wayside to watch
| for suffering and discouraged sOulSl He
felt for others. This is the element in
character which will make US most like
Him who went about doing good. -

Christianity crosses continents and seas
to save the lost; kindles the light of hope
in the conyict's camp, in StoclIade or mine;
1s TO 70 no hncnifa1 and the nIlSOO
where the sick are dying and the sinful
are perishing; goes to the rough and out-of-
the way places of earth, where the least
favored of our brothers and sisters are
fighting their hard battle unseen, unpitied,
unhelped.-Christidn Advocate, Nashville.
To-day thirty-four missionary societies
are at work in Africa, and all its 100000,
600 souls are practically within the reach of
Christian missions; thlrty-three societies
have begun work in China, and all its $780,,
900, 600 souls may be visited with the mes,
sage of the gospel; more than fifty societies
have entered India, and the light is dawn
ing upon its $50, 100000; Turkey and Persia
and Japan are filling with mission churches
and mission schools. Practically the whole
world is open, and the grandest day of OPP
portunity for the kingdom of God that the
earth has ever seen has July daWned.-

1.-THE introduction of religion as an ele-
-ment into our political affairs, is terrible
menace says the American HebrelC, Ito
the development of the ideas underlying
the republic, is in truth threat against
the maintenance of our institutions in their
integrity. 1t is distinctly opposed to the
character of our government that religious
belief shall be made political test. This
is directly done, however, by any citizen
who votes for or against the election of any
candidate for office out of consideration
for the religious belief of that candidate.
We trust that our fellow-citizens of all
Catholic country, nor Protestant country,
but Christian nation devoutly believing
in God and reverently loyal to the Constl-
tuition of the United States"
''The rationalism of the present day i'm
perils the cause of truth, not so much by
direct assaults as by proposing to compro-
mise with error" says the New York
Observer. 1.-THE men who are agitating the
church with their improvements upon the

more agreeable to the human heart, not by
denying their truth, but by adulterating
them with their own reasonings, smoothing
down the rugged features and breaking off
the sharp points that give offense. There
are those, too, who in seeking to propagate
the gospel of Christ among the adherents
OF false religions, and to secure its accept
ance, are ready to make compromise with
all sorts of error giving up important
truths and admitting much that is errone-
Gus, in order to secure standing upon
common ground. Some have even proposed
a truce between the hostile systems of
Christianity and Northumberland, as if
there were any common ground on which
the false prophet and the divine Redeemer
of men could meet and hold fellowship and
their respective followers march together
into the kingdom of heaven
THE OLD WAYS.
Churchmen should live up to their own
principles and practice their own methods.
Even poor method persistently followed
will give better results than desultory,
indiscriminate practice of half dozen bet
ter methods. Our church ways are not
only older ways but better ways of doing
Christ's work than those that
the denominations have galvanized into
popularity. They are divinely sanctioned,
historically attested, experimentally ap
proved. Why, then, do we get such meagre
results in our work in comparison with
what might be expected from the means at
our commando Living Church (Episco-
paD.
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE OF THE MAN IN THE
WORLD.
The earnest Christian man must have
many duties and common linking to this
life in order that the powers of heaven may
take fast and firm hold of him. He must
have cords binding him to this world, in
order that the influences from the upper
world may give steadiness to his skyey |
soarings. Character, not greatness, is |
Gods measuring line. Men saw in Moses |
a disappointed pioneer God saw in Moses |
the deliverer of his people. Men saw in
Tyndale and Huss and Cranmer misguided |
enthusiasts. God saw in Tyndale and Huss |
and Cranmer the foundation of His church. |
Men saw in Newell, Hall, Mott |
and Judson blind enthusiasts. God saw in |
them the calm, mighty piety that crosses the |
globe to save soul. Seen from the stars, |
the palace and the hut are equally splendid |
and equally humble. Seen from heavens |
battlements, the shining pile of gold, the
result of strife and labor, may seem as dull |
and trivial as piles of stone. Therefore look
upon life as God looks upon it; as an OPP
portunity of Christian influence, in the
formation of your own character and aid
