Christian Warfare.

Whether we meet the foe in the open
field or leap upon them while they Turk
behind the battlements of a city, we
shall by Gods grace defeat them in
either case. If they hem us in with
living legions, or environ us within
stone-walls, we shall with equal cer-
tainty obtain our liberty. Such feats
we have already performed, hewing our
way at a run through hosts of diff
culties and scaling impossibilities at a
leap. Gods warriors may expect to
have taste of every form of fighting,
and must, by the power of faith, de-
termine to quit themselves like men,
but it behooves them to be very careful
to lay all their laurels at Jehovah's feet,
each one of them saying, "By my
God " have l wrought this valiant deed.
Our spoila optima, trophies of our con-
flicts, we hereby dedicate to the God of
battles, and ascribe to him all glory and
ngth.-Spurgeon.

The patriarchs were shepherds, David
was a shepherd; no wonder, therefore,
that so many of the illustrations and fig
ures of Holy Writ have to do with the re-
lation of the shepherd and the sheep.
His people are Gods sheep; his bless
lngs are green pastures and still
waters. His guidance is the shep-
herds rod and staff. The Lord is
our Shepherd. Christ is the Good
Shepherd and no hireling. The sheep
know him by name and he knows them
as individuals. He is their safety and
their delight; though they walk through
the valley of the shadow of death, they
fear no evil, because he is with them
there. But the chief reason for the use
of this figure is its especial applicability.
Even though it were an illustration,
readily understood because referring to
an everyday incident of Oriental life. it
would not be used did it not so exactly
state the facts of the case. No other
creature can be so aptly used as the
sheep to express figuratively the atti-
tude and position of the Christian n,be-
lever. The Christian is not war-like,
fierce, rending and devouring; there is
no resplendence of coloring about his
life, no towering bulk, no swiftness of
motion. His life is pictured best by a
quiet, peaceable, useful creature, living
for others, content with simple food,
leaning upon the guidance and care of
a stronger and wiser hand, exposed to
attack, helpless against ill-treatme Mt,
and yet multiplying and surviving in
fiocks, while wild beasts perish or roam
solitary and infrequent. This quiet
and colorless life Is part of our cross.
1t is the worlds taunt and our odium.
Yet, it is the only useful life and the
only happy one. Lions, tigers, bears
and wolves are not necessary to the we'll
being of any land ; civilization exter-
inmates them and agriculture drives
them away. Just so with the men
whose characters are portrayed by the
lion, the tiger, the bear or the wolf
nobody wants them or needs them
where law and order prevail, where in
telligence and virtue thrive. Those who
provoke the sword perish by it ; ma
tons ready and eager for battle are
doomed to the fate of battle, and, con-
4ueror or conquered, are destined event.

What DOest Thou Here 2"

How often is that question put still
When Christian worker, sorely
needed, deserts his post because of
some unforeseen difficulty, or to secure
selfish qualification and ease, to that
couch of Incidence or to that forest
glade where soft breezes blow, the
question comes, What doest thou
here?" When a child of God is found
in the theater, the dancing-saloon or
the place of evil companionship, sit
ting in the seat of scorners or walking
in the way of the ungodly, again must
the question come as a thunder-bolt
out of clear sky, " What doest thou
here?" When one endowed with great
faculties digs a hole in the earth and
buries the God-intrusted talent, stand
ing idle all the day long among the
loungers in the market-place, again
must the inquiry ring out, "What doest
thou here?" Life is the time for do
ing. The world is a great workshop
in which there is no room for drones.
God himself worketh as the great Mas
ter-builder. All creatures fulfill their
needed functions, from the angel that
hymns Gods praise to the insect that
floats in the air. There is plenty to
do, evil to put down, good to build
up, doubters to be directed, prodigals
to be won back, sinners to be sought.
" What doest thou here?' Up, Chris
tians; leave your cares and do. Do
not do in order to be saved; but, being
saved, do.-F. b. Meyer.

Serious Questions.

The true question for man to ask
of his soul is not, " Am l fit to die?"
but, " Am ! worthy to live?" Not,
" Am thinking of death?" bnt, " Am
l thinking enough of life?' For it is
no counsel of easy-going carelessness
that / am putting. ! am not preaching
to have less thought or care about
death and to leave the matter so. No,
but that thought, that care, that sense
of deep and awful mystery with which
all look at death, when they think of it,,
shall be transferred to life. Then in
that spirit go forth, feeling each new
day something of what it is to be
alive-alive in Gods great world, in the
beginning of life that is to live on
forever! Do strong manly or womanly
part; accept the mercies that come
with glad thankfulness; take hold of
work and duty with firm, hearty grip;
in all life's intercourse, whether of
home or of the world, fulfill a loving.
helpful part. And then shall life 90
strengthening, greatening all the way
and there shall be no death, but only,
some day, just as the laws of being
bring it, a change, passing on, and

higher" into the next and finer stage

of duty toward our final destination
God. Fine feelings, glorious feelings
we all have them after our measure
but fine feelings, quick, responsive
sensibilties-do you not know that
they have been the occasion of the ruin
of some of the greatest geniuses that
God ever gave to the human race?
Feeling is miserably cheap substitute
for duty. 1t takes more than being
happy on Sunday in church to be re-
ligious. My friends, religion never
stops short of holiness. 1t means that,
first and last. Religion does not stop
at feeling. Religion does not stop at
tradition, or at responsibility, or at
ecclesiasticism, or at painted windows,
or at spacious cathedral aisles, or elo-
quent preaching, or delicious music.
Religion means, always has meant, al
ways must mean, the actual communion
of the human soul with God in right
eousness and holiness. And that kind
of religion costs; it takes the best there
is in a man to be religious in that
way.-Dr. Joseph Parker.

Forgetting.

Let it be observed that real progress
in spiritual things is ofte n hindered by
a morbid disposition to dwell upon past
deficiencies. go, if / had not done
this; if had only chosen another wav
of dealing with the foibes and weak
nesses of others; if had given more
thought to the higher and less to the
lower interest of life, it might have
been so much better now" said a con-
scientious, unrestful, repining mother,
deeply anxious on account of her house
hold. If all this is only an effort to find
rest of soul by awakening the sympa-
thy of others in our behalf, nothing
will prove so painfully fruitless; or if
this be only an effort on our part to eX-
punge the record of former guilt, the
whole teaching of the Bible is against
us, for anything that dverts our
thought for one moment from the only
ground of present salvation-Christ
and his merits fatal delusion. The
8 forgetting those things which are
behind " is a necessary condition of
successfully reaching forth unto those
things which are before" Dismiss,
therefore, anxious harassing thoughts
of what you might have been, or may
have been. Start anew at the present
moment in the name and strength of
The Almighty. An upward, shining
pathway invites you to "press toward
the mark for the prize of the high call
ing of God in Christ Jesus" Remember
that the "prize is not for such as have
trusted that their lives have been
righteous" but for those only who
have placed all their hope "in Christ
Jesus"

But, grateful take the good | find,
The best of now and here"

" Beauty Tides"

Asked by her father what she was
porting over, the other Sabbath, a little
girl replied that she was reading the
" beauty-tides." Told to look at the
word once more, her chagrin and dis
appointment were great to find that il
was beatitudes." "Why, papa"
said she, A." l supposed they were called
beauty-tides because they are SC
beautiful" Beauty-tides " is new
rendering for beatitudes, but is the
difference in thought so very greatf
Certainly the beatitudes, if carried out
in mems lives, would change the mora
tides of the world so that they would
cease to be repulsive. The beatitudes
would at least result in "beauty-tides.'

The Congress OF Nations.

1t will strike most persons who have
given any thought to the matter that the
coming gathering Ct representatives of
American nations is not attracting the
attention or awakening the interest
which it deserves. The assemblage will
be held in October next and it will take
place in Washington. The invitations
to the gathering have been sent to all
the governments south of the United
States, and all of them have either de-
cided to accept or are expected to ac-
cept. Every nation in Central and
South America, with Mexico and the
United States in addition, will probably
be represented. There is an opportu-
nifty to turn the approaching confer
ence to good account. The trade of the
United States with the countries to the
south of us is not as great or profitable
as it should be, or as it could be made
to be by the exercise of fair share of
earnestness, intelligence and tact. We
have commodities which those coun-
tries could find it to their advantage to
buy, and they have products for which
market. Certain conditions now pre-
vent this interchange of goods to the
extent to which it should be carried,
but these conditions could be changed,
and they will be changed if the coun-
try takes an interest in the question
such as its importance deserves. The
principal object Of the congress is the
modification of the customs laws of the
countries taking part in it and the adop-
ton or extension of treaties of COM
mercial reciprocity. This task, to be
sure, is one which contains more diff
culties than are apparent to those who
have given no thought to the question.
The task, however, if approached in the
right spirit, is not beyond the resources
of our publicists and statesmen. We
do not say, of course, that either these
or any other advantages will result
from the coming conference, nor do we
pretend that this is the best method to
bring such advantages about, but we
are convinced that much good can be
accomplished by it if the opportunity is
availed of intelligently and conscien-
tiously. Much good will result from a
thorough discussion of the matter
throughout the country which the as
semblage will provoke, even though
that body itself should formulate nc
practical scheme. st. Louis Globe.

Feeling In Religion.

Feeling is of just as much use in
religion as steam is in an engine-if it
drives the engine, it is good; but if
it does not, it is not good for anything
but to fizz and hiss and buzz. There
are some people that seem to be like
yard-engines that never go anywhere,
but keep putting and blowing and hiss
ing and running up and down side
tracks, doing nothing, going nowhere.
Feeling in religion is of no value at all
if it does not propel us along the track
