Physical pain is not altogether evil 1t
serves at least two good purposes: 1t calls
attention to the fact that an important law
has been broken, and admonishes the
transgressor to proceed no farther in that
direc ion. 1t is the mission of pain to pre-
vent suffering. There is spiritual pain
which is more poignant and more impor-
tant than physical. Pangs Of remorse ad-
monlsh the transgressor to repent and seek
pardon. The anguish of a guilty con-
science is not the punishment of sin, but a
merciful warning that punishment turks
somewhere In the direction the sinner is
pursuing.-New York Christian Advocate
Let no man say that courage and faith
and heroism are dying out Of the earth
while the 0f Stopla,yJc
Africa is ringing in our ears. The enter
prise was one of the boldest ever under
taken by an explorer. Anticipating these
great results, it is delightful to remember
that Stanley, through all his perilous
march, was sustained, not only by his own
unfaltering courage, but by faith in a
higher power. When referring to 1t all,
though IN modest way, he cannot refrain,
at the close, from breaking out into the de-
vout ascription, 'Glory be to God forever
and ever!'-Euangelist
1t rests wholly with us what He is to be
to US. We can turn away from Him, if we
choose. We can go without His sympathy,
His help, His love. He will not force us to
accept Him. If we prefer to regard Him
as having been, when on earth, an enthusi-
asst or an impostor, He will offer no other
defense of His claims than history has
made in their behalf We shall not be
compelled to confess Him against our will.
But if We try to appreciate what He is to
some of His believing children. and gladly
would be to all, we shall welcome Him to
the lnmost sanctuary of our hearts, and let
Him go no more forever He will indeed
become our ''all in all. '-Congregdtiondlist.
The news from Madras that the natives
are starving to death rather than eat with
others of their caste, and that they fee to |
the hills from the food brought by the Eng
Iish for fear of being forced to eat in the |
presence of people not of their own walk |
Of life, is the most striking instance fur
nished by modern times of people yield |
ing their lives rather than give up the faith |
That IS IN them. Such examples were |
abundant on the continent of Europe dur
ing the Reformation, and possibly, under
similar pressure, Christian races would
show the same fortitude for righteousness
sake again. AS shown in Madras and
by our light, not theirs, it is the
zeal OF fanaticism, whose very strength
makes it desirable that the civilization
which has produced 1t should give way to |
l better and wiser ne.-Philadelphia En-

'REEDs MUST CHANGE-THE WORLD MOVES.
The Presbyterian creed, as well as most
)ther religious creeds, have been repeat
,dly changed. From the first Helvenic
formulated early in the six
eenth century. un'' the adoption of the
Westminster Conf jion, century and al
lalf later, there ha !, been half dozen re-
Iisions of the faith that created the great
Presbyterian body, and these deliverances.
wen including the Westminster Comics
ion, were always adopted over earnest
and at times over violent and |
mbittered protests, and revision and ad
'ancement have marked the history of
very great Christian church. The church
# Rome, the one that might be expected
o be most welded to the dogmas of the
'ast, has proclaimed two momentous addi-
ions to its creed within the memory of the
iving-the infallibility of the Pope in
hurch doctrine and the immaculate con
eption-and it was done without impair
ng reverence for the Catholic faith. The
world is well-nigh four centuries older
nd much better in both intelligence and
purpose than it was when the Protestant
reeds came as the logical evolution from
orrupt church and state, and a revised
reed of to-day in any religious organiza.
ion, made in sincerity and integrity, would
e much more worthy of popular rever-
nee than one made in the darkness and
igotry of ten generations ago. Let hon
st religious conviction be paramount in all
uestions of religious creeds. and the
yorld, however differing from them, will
yer respect and honor them.-Phiiadel- {
hia Times.
SCRIPTURAL ATRoPHY
Disuse destroys capacity. Thus our con-
rol over our physical organs depends on
ur use of them. The arm long bandaged
ecomes the arm paralyzed. This fact car
led up into the spiritual realm may sug-
est some valuable lessons. 1t may even
ave bearing on the ultimate destiny of
those who are out of harmony with God {
/ this world. We are all created with
lme spiritual CAPACITIES. God ,oada Ms
