o! Did You Know It Was Me?

Presbyterian,
A ragged boy stood with his face
pressed close to pane of glass, gazing
earnestly at the toys displayed in
the window. His hands were. loose
ly clasped behind his back, with the
palms turned upwards. A lady
noticed the little earnest face as she,
too, paused a moment before the
tempting show. Then, quietly drop
ping as many cents into the little
hands as they could hold, she passed
on. The moment the boy felt their
touch, he turned and caught sight of
the pocket-boOk in the hand of the
retreating lady. Running after her
he looked up anxiously in her
face, and said, 80, ma'am! did you
know it was mew
Evidently he thought she had mis-
taken him for some little friend.
YES" SAID the lady, smiling, VI
knew it was you," and the child
bounded away with a face radiant
with happiness.
This lady is in the habit of drop
ping small change here and there as
she daily walks through the poorer
streets of the city.
Many a sad little face has brighten.
ed as the money fell into its lap, and
pleasant, smiling face looked down,
and, "There, run and buy a stick Of
candy or cookie" Think of such a
course, persevered in, year after year

l acknowledge myself a poor sim
ner, who has deserved the wrath of
God. But Jesus Christ has reconciled
me to the Father by His blood. BY

Holy Ghost has filled my heart. Now

l do not regard myself as being
without faults and shortcomings; on
the contrary, know that / cannot
count them all which God daily sets
before my eyes, and believe indeed
that those which are hidden and I'M
seen are yet many more. God bears
with me in my weakness as a father
does with his child. But He does not
make me secure and careless, but
daily awakens in me the desire to be
renewed more in the spirit of my
mind after His image.
The God who works all good to us
suffers first filial fear to dwell in my
heart, yea, a real trembling in the
presence of His Divine Majesty
which preserves me from SHINING
against His mercy. He purgeth me
as branch in the vine, that / may

tinued renewal and sanctification il

Keep Yourselves in the Sunshine.
Interior.

Interior.
A physician found patient shut
up in damp, chilly room. He said
to him: "No wonder that you are
sick in such a place. You do not
need medicine, but fresh air, sun
shine, and exercise" He took that
hypochondriac out of doors. He
made him walk and ride about. Soon
he was well again, and the doctor left
him. But in a little while he was
sent for. His morbid and perverse
patient was lying in the close, damp
chamber as before, shivering and
moaning. "Oh DOCTOR" he cried,
"that sure cure of yours has failed,
and l am just as bad as ever" "Did
you keep yourself in the sunshine?"
mo; 1 thought l had taken enough
of it, not only to make me well, but
to keep me so, and then came back
to bed again."
Just like this imaginary invalid are
many (alas, how manyD of the pa
tients of the Great Physician. They
read of his wondrous love; they be-
lieve in it; they rejoice in it. 1t kin
dies in their souls hope that is full
of glory. But, having "tasted the
good word of God, and the powers of
the world to come" they return to
the weak and beggerly elements OF
this world. Hence, they lose that
blessed hope. They become cold and
sad, and then they wonder why God
does not keep them in perfect peace.
Alas, they forget that God cannot
make evil good and good evil. He
has created an atmosphere of love
He offers it freely to all who will live
in it. But if we fail. to do so; if We
shut ourselves up in the caves or eel
lars of selfishness, refusing to enjoy
what God has provided for sustaining
the new life, can we wonder that We
are weak and sickly?
But how shall we keep ourselves il
the love of God? BY study, by med
itation, by Christian communion
and, above all, by prayer. We dom
read the Bible enough; we dom
think enough about what we read il
in it; we don't talk enough with eacl
other about our heavenly Father, ouI
Elder Brother, and our celestial home
we don't work enough for Christ t.
keep our, hearts in glow; we dom
commune enough with God. Gu
reading, thinking, toiling, talking
and praying will not create the at
mosphere that our spirits need, blu
Z they will keep us in it. They vii
; enable us to climb up out of tn
dampness Of gloom and unbelief
$ they will help us to ascend the noun
: of faith. On it we will find the lanC
of Beulah, from which we can see tn
: walls and gates, and almost hear tn
songs, of the golden city.

Christ and Hypocrisy.

Spectator.
The sternness of Christ has elicted
in its highest degree by spiritual
double dealing, what we ordinarily
call hypocrisy; next, though not in
such uncompromising terms, by that
open covetousness which is the obvi-
Gus antagonist Of all spiritual life, and
especially by that deafness to his
own personal influence which indi-
Gates the supremacy Of unspiritual de-
sires over the hearts of the people;
and last, with the most passionate
emphasis, wherever Christ saw the
spirit of the world creeping into a
heart that had ardently owned his
own spiritual authority, and that was
in reality at his own disposal. In
other words, Christ was most stern
with those who made a pretense of
being religious; stern, but not so
stern, with those who did not make
a pretense Of it, who simply passed
him by as If he had touched no spring
of their hearts; but he was most dis
posed to wound deeply-because he
saw in this case that wound would
be most spiritually effectual-where
a noble nature was In danger of adj
hitting into its most spiritual motives
worldly alloys. Where Christ could
win by tenderness, he showed it,
even amidst the agonies of the cross.
When tenderness was a revelation,
he was tender no matter how great
the force of conflicting motives might
be. 1t was only when it became nee.
essary to characterize justly the mo-
nopoly claimed by the world ovel
the heart of man, that his words be-
came instinct with the fire of divine
denunciation.
