il not every Christian who does. l
know a great many umbrellas that go
conetantly to Office and store, to places
Of amusement, and to homes OF friends,
which are never seen at church on Sun
day. or at prayer-meeting on Wednes-
day night.
When we ask the Lord to take and
use "all that we are. and all that We
have" we do not always mean our
rainy Sunday selves and our umbrellas.
Now. am sure that there is 10 ont
who believes more heartily than | In

the Lord cannot think very high
Iy of that piety which is only for
church use, But on the other hand
the fervor of spirit which never
carries us through disagreeable
weather to the house Of the Lord,
does not deserve the name. II our um-
breIlas bear the inscription, "HOLINESS
TO THE LORD, " they will be taken out
in Sundays sprinkles. as well as IL
Mondays showers. If the Lord has
given US umbrellas. waterproof cloaks,
and overshoes land trhdt have we that
we have not receivedl) then it is neither
right nor grateful on our part to use
these things only for our own running
to and fro.
What would you think of your pas
tor if his umbrellas were not at the ser
vice of the Lord? What has your pas.
tor right to think of you? You need
not be afraid of rain-the light which
shines from under . consecrated UNI
brella cannot be quenched by rain
drops. Indeed, we sometimes get the
richest and most abundant oil IN our
lamps on rainy Sundays, and our lights
burn the brighter through all the COM
ing week.

am thinking Of the pleasant spot Of
earth that ! will soon get to lie in; I
will get my little George in my hand
and we will be group Of bonnie dust. "
After his voice failed him 10 tho last
moments he continued to clap his hands
In triumph.
1t ia not only by such joyful testimo-
mics to the sustaining power OF divine
grace or by cheerful! patience that the
prisoners OF Christ have preached and
are preaching his precious gospel.
There are many ways Of doing good
open to invalids. During the years that
the wife of Mr. Sturgeon was confined
to her room she conceived the plan OF
providing commentaries and Bible
helps for poor ministers and village
preachers. Last summer she told me
that over one hundred thousand such
volumes had been secured in response
to her appeals. Charlotte Elliott COM
posed her richest and sweetest hymns
while she was one Of Christ's prison
ers. A large. hearted lady, shut in from
her former activities out-of-doors,sp
much OF her time in folding and ad-
dressing little leaflets of awakening or
of consoling truth to those who may be
proflted by them. Ia many house
there is a room whose silent influence is
felt all over the dwelling. The other
members of the family come in there
to inquire after the sick sufferer, to
bring some choice fruit or pleasant gift,
TO read aloud or watch with her
through the lonesome night. From
that room steals forth an influence
that makes every one gentler and
tenderer and more unseltish. Per
haps this IS one of the rea-
sons why God permits some Of his
children TO suffer; they not only grow
purer by the Christening, but become
evangelists Of blessings to others. Paul
in his prison prompted many besides
Onesiphorus to deeds of sympathy for
him, and he evoked such gifts Of kind
ness from his spiritual children at Phil
ippi that he writes to them that their
love hath blossomed out afresh." That
is the literal rendering of the message
sent by the sunny-hearted old prisoner
of Jesus Christ. Good friends, it mat
tiers little where we are so long as our
inner life is hid with Christ and we
keep it luminous with the Joy of his
presence.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION.

America is not the only country that
is vexed and perplexed by the problem
OF religious education in public schools.
France has been making an experiment
in this matter within the last half
dozen years that is we'll worth noting.
Ia 1882 the law was passed completely
Withdrawing the public schools from
the influence Of the clergy, and sub
shutting moral instruction in
the place Of religious, without de
fining in detail what the authorities
understood by such morality" One
of the features Of the present Exposi
ton is a massive volume, compiled BY
the well known Protestant thcoloaiar
and dean OF the Paris faculty, DR.. FIR.
Lich.enberger. from 55S official reports
of school directors and inspectors cent
IN. by order Of the government, for th'
purpose Of learning how the law has
been working. The result is severely
disappointing to the advocate OF
purely secular education and
of the substitution Of vague
aud general principles of morals foi
positive religion. II is impossible to
systematic the answer given; but il Is
clear that endless confusion prevails as
to what moral instruction il. and
that, in any shape or form. ii cannot
take take the place of religious train
ing. Positive Protestants, like Lich
tenberger and Edmond de Pres
sense, acknowledge the failure OF
the secularization Of the schools
but do not advocate return to the old
system, lest the Roman Catholic clergy
be given once more the absolute control
which they formerly possessed. But
Pfessense in his Revue ChretienHe. de
clares that a morality not baseo
upon positive Christian foun.
dation is absolutely valueless, aud
urges that this new moral in
struction be banished from the schools
that the instruction in general b.
made as moral as possible; that reli
gious instruction be impaired outside
of the regular school hours in thu
school buildings themselves; and that.
ia general. the training of the coming
generation in the principles OF Christi
anity be advanced in every possib'e
manner. IL is exceedingly doubtful
whether the authorities will take any
steps in this direction. Sunday School

MARRIAGE.

Men and women, and especially
young people, do not know that 1t takes
years to marry completely two hearts
even of the most loving and we'll sorted
But nature allows no sudden change
We slope very gradually from tile
cradle to the summit of lite. Marriage
is gradual, fraction Of US at time
A happy wedlock is long falling IL
love. know young persons think love
only belongs TO brown hair, and plump
round. crimson cheeks. So it does foi
its beginning, just as Mt. Washington
begins at Boston Bay. But the golden
marriage is part of love which
the bridal day knows nothing
of. Youth is the tas-el and silken
flower of love age is the full corn,
ripe, and solid in the ear. Beautiful
in the morning of love with its pro
phetic crimson, violet, purple and gold,
with its hopes of days that are to come.
Beautiful also is the evening of love,
with its glad remembrances, and its
rainbow SIDE turned toward heaven as
well as earth. Young people marry
their opposltes in temper and general
character, and such a marriage is COM
monty a good match. They do it in
stlnctively. The young man does not
say, My black eyes require to be wed
with blue, and my over vehemence
requires to be little modified with
somewhat of dullness and reserve.
When the opposition come together
to be wed, they do not know 1t, but
each thinks the other just like himself.
Old people never marry their opposites;
they marry their similars. and from
calculation. Each of these two arrange
ments is very proper. In their long
journey these young opposites will fall
out of the way great many times, and
both get away from the road but each
will charm the other back again, aud
by and by they will be agreed as to the
place they will go to, and the road
they will go by. and become re-
conciled. The man will be nober
aud larger for being associated with
so much humanity unlike himself and
she will be nobler woman for hav.
ing manhood besides her that seeks
to correct her deficiencies and supply
her with what she lacks, If the diver.
sity be not too great, and there be
real piety and love ia their hearts to
begin with. The old bridegroom
having a much shorter journey to
make. must associate himself with
one like himself. A perfect and com
plete marriage is perhaps as rare as
perfect personal beauty. A real
happy marriage of love and judg-
ment, between a noble man and wo-
man, is one Of the things so very hand
some that if the sun were, as Greek
poets tabled, god, he might stop the
world in order to feast his eyes with
such a spectacle.-TheOdOre Parker.

"HOBSON'S CHOICE"

Did you know that this familiar
phraze, "Hobson's Choice" preserves
the memory of very good and useful
mani Thomas HobsOn was born IN
1914; he was for sixty years a carrier
between London and Cambridge, con-
veying TO and from the University let
tiers and packages, also passengers. In
addition TO his express business, he had
a livery stable, and let horses to the uni
versity students. He made it a rule that
all the horses should have according to
their ability, proper division of work
ard rest. They were taken out in
regular order as they stood, beginning
with the one nearest the door. No
choice was allowed, and if any man re-
fused to take the animal assigned him,
he might 90 without any. That or
none. Hence the phrase, 'Hobson' 6
Choice.
In the spring of 1880, the plague broke
out in England. The colleges of Cam
bridge we're closed, and among the pre-
cautions taken by the authorities to
avoid the infection, HObson was for
hidden to go to London. He died in
January, 1851, partly, it is said, from
anxiety aud fretting' at his enforced
leisure. Hobson was one OF the wealth
thiest citizens of Cambridge, and did
much for the benefit of the town, to
which he left several legacies. His
death called forth many poems from
members of the University, officers and
students, among them two by the poet
Milton, then a student of Christ 5

WHAT IS THE END OF LIFE ?

The end of life is, not to do good, al
though many Of US think so. 1t is not
to win souls, although l once thought
so. The end of life is to do the will OF
God. That may be on the line of doing
good or winning souls, or it may not.
The maximum achievement of any man S
life after it is all over is to have done all
the will of God. No man or woman
can have done any more with life !:
no Luther, no Spurgeon, no Wesley.
no Melancthon, can have done any
more with their lives; and dairy
maid or a scavenger can do as much.
Therefore, tho supreme principle
upon which we have TO Iun our
lives is to adhere, through good re-
port or ill, through temptation and
prosperity and adversely, to the will
OF God. wherever that may lead us. 1t
may take you away to China, or you
who are going TO Africa may have to
stay where you are; you who are going
to be an evangelist may have TO go into
business. and you who are going into
business may have to become an evan
gelist But there is no happiness or
su ccess in life till that principle is take n
possession of.-Pr0feSsor Drummond.

TIE MINISTRY OF LITTLE chill
DREN

"When our little boy died" has been
the beginning of pilgrimage for many
bereaved parents. when the baby
died, " dates impressions on the family
circle that have matured to godliness.
The cid may outlive their friends;
the middle-aged may make enemies
who are glad to get rid of them, or.
wandering off, die where none lament;
but the babe is without prejudice in
life, and mighty in death. 1t is Gods
messenger of reconciliation, His flag of
truce in this world of enmities, and
envies, and wrath, and strife. 1t has
strong hold on two hearts, if no more.
The empty crib, the halfworn shoe, the
soft locks of hair, that few may see,
prolong the painful yet pleasing mem
DRY of the angel-vIsitor that looked in
upon us and smiled, and went to
Heaven, bidding us, amid care and
sorrow, to follow on.
There is something so peculiarly af-
fecting IN the loss of a child that we
sympathize with the parent who said
he believed no minister prepared TO
bury another's child who had not
buried one of his own.
There's many an empty cradle.
There's many vacant bed,
There's many lonesome bosom
Whose JOY and light are fled;
For thick in every graveyard
The little hillocks lie.
And every little hillock represents
An angel in the sky.
In this way heaven is receiving large
contributions from earth. Next to the
conversion of the soul, the enemy Of
God and man may take least pleasure
in the death of child. His snares are
all prevented, and his prey surely lost.
We bless God for our creation. The
opening of a career Of immortal exis.
tence is in itself a great event-a mis-
sion of praise and glory. Though the
voice OF praise swell as the sound OF
many waters and the celestial harpers
are numberless, YET his ear detects each
new voice and joyful string, and the
praise of these little ones glorieth Him.
In this view, the babe, even for few
days, and sickly----that goeth from the
cradle to the graye----is Of more in
trinsic importance than material
worlds.
A Hindoo woman said to a mission
