The Inner Light.

There is a conviction in us which has
survived the perversion of our affec-
tons and the waste of our mental pow
ers; has held on its straight and narrow
way through the darkness and quag-
mires of thousand false philosophers;
a conviction which resents all brides,
whether of ease, or honor, or power, or
money, with a calm and terrible in
tegrity; a conviction which, amid the
thick darkness or the false lights of this
world, still has power to view things in
the clear light of eternity and God;
conviction whose lofty gaze overlooks
expediency altogether, and is charmed
only by what is right-there is a con-
viction in us, as strong as life itself,
which declares that right and wrong
are not the same, and that, at what
ever consequences to us, the right is to
be chosen always and the wrong re-
fused. This conviction may be re-
sisted and overwhelmed by hayward
affections and perverse will, so that,
struggle as it may, it can not burst the
narrow prison of the soul and come
out into the activities of life. The out
ward life may be the servant of treach-
cry or the mere creature of unbridled
appetite, so that this divine conviction
may seem to be dead. But it is not so.
You can chain the sun-daring eagle.
So conviction may be imprisoned. 1t
may not be allowed even to cloud the
sinners countenance with doubt about
the future or remorse for the past.
The human will is mighty But the
conviction is within; it can not be de-
stroyed but with the blank annhihila-
ton of the soul, and to discover its
presence it is only necessary to look
within and listen. Let the hardened
sinner, the infidel, the atheist a century
old, only turn his ear that way and
the voice of consciousness will come
to him, clear as bell, announcing that,
after all his efforts to eliminate moral
distinctions from both his theory and
his life, there is an eternal difference
between right and wrong, and that
voice will just as distinctly approve the
right and condemn the wrong. This
undying conviction is the voice of God
in us and utters the same truth as is
written in Gods Holy Word. The
question need not be further argued,
therefore. To the believer the Word
of God is conclusive, while to the
nationalist the appeal to consciousness
is both legitimate and unaswerable.-

A Holy Life.

A holy life is made up of number
of small things-little words, not elo-
quent speeches or sermons; little deeds,
not miracles or battles, nor one great
heroic act of mighty martyrdom, make
up the true Christian life. The little
constant sunbeams, not the lightning;
the waters of Sloan "that go softly !"
in the meek mission of refreshment,
not waters of the river, great and
many" rushing down in noisy torrents,
are the true symbols of holy life.
The avoidance of little evils, little
sins, little inconsistencies, little weak
nesses, little follies, indiscretions and
imprudences, little foibles, little in
dulgences of the flesh-the avoidance
of such little things as those go far to
make up at least the negative beauty of
holy life.-BOnar.

Christ the Great Teacher.

Christ is the personal embodiment of
the truth he teaches. There is this i'm
measurable distance between him and
all other teachers-they teach what
is true independently of themselves; he
taught what was true because of what
he was in himself. We have a world
of scientific lore, ever increasing, but
not one truth of which it consists has
any personal quality or depends in any
wise for its value upon the man who
first discovered it. But while the
truths of nature are not Newton, nor
Huxley, nor Tyndal, and have no vital
connection with these men, the truths
of Christianity are Christ. They are
not merely revealed by him; they
were made by him. They are not true
except in Christ He is their fountain,
and apart from him they fail, he is
their root, and apart from him they die.
The personal form of Christianity can
not be cast away and the essential truth
retained. The essential is the personal
and the personal is the essential. Chris
tianity, so far as it embodies spiritual
force and motive; so far as it meets
man in his sin, weakness and sor-
row, is Christ-nothing less than Christ,
nothing more than Christ, nothing else
than Christ. 1t has a personal voice
the voice of the Goldman to men. In
this Jesus stands alone, the only orig
inal authority. 1t was this element
in his teaching that astonished his
hearers in the synagogue, and this has
impressed and attracted men in every
generation since. This makes our duty
as teachers clear. We have simply to
represent Christ and repeat his words
on his authority. Not our own notions
and speculations, but his truth, must
be the subject-matter of our teaching

A SCRAP OF PAPER SAVES HER
LIFE.-It was just an ordinary scrap of
wrapping paper, but it saved her life.
She was in the last stages of consump-
ton, told by physicians that she was
incurable and could live only short
time; she weighed less than seventy
pounds. On piece of wrapping paper
she read of DR.. Kings New Discovery,
and got sample bottle, it helped her,
she bought large bottle, it helped her
more, bought another and grew better
fast, continued its use and is now
strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing
one hundred forty pounds. For fuller
particulars send stamp to W. II. Cole,
druggist, Fort Smith. Trial bottles of
this wonderful Discovery free at any

Go Feel what / Have Felt.

A young lady in New York was in the
habit of writing for a Philadelphia paper on
the subject of temperance. Her writing
cvinced such deep emotion that her friends
accused her of being a maniac on the sub.
iect of temperance, whereupon she wrote
the following stanzas;]
Go feel what have felt
Go bear what have borne
Sink meath the blows a father dealt,
And the cold worlds proud scorn.
Then suffer on from year to year.
The sole relief the scorching tear.
Go kneel as have knelt
Implore, beseech and pray;
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course to stay,
Re dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers buresqued, your tears defed.
Go weep have wept,
Der loved fathers fall;
See every promised blessing swept
Youths sweetness turned to gall
LIES fading flowers strown all the way
That brought me up to womans day.
Go see what have seen,
Behold the strong.man bow
with crashing teeth, lips bathed in blood,
cold and livid brow;
Go catch his whitening glance and
There mirrored his souls misery
Go hear, and feel, and see, and know
All that my soul hath felt and known.
Then look upon the wine cups glow,
See If it's beauty can atone;
Think If its flavor you will try
When all proclaims, tits drink and die"
Tell me hate the bowl
Hate is a feeble word
