Who has Seen Christ in You To-Day

"The rarson asked strange ques
ton this evening"" said John Sewell
to his wife, Ann, on bis return from
church one Sunday.
"What was it John?"
"Who has seen Christ in you to-
day?' I wish you had been there to
hear him, Ann; he made it pretty
plain thatall who love Christ ought to
show by their conduct that they are in
earnest"
"That's true. John, know I often
fall short of what q Christian should
be-"
"I'm sure that you and the children
have not seen Christ in me to-day"
said John. "If I'd remember to be
like my Master, I should not have
been so cross with you, because you
wanted to take your turn out this
morning"
"And I shouldn't have snapped you
up and been so vexed," interrupted
Ann.
"Then I used Tom pretty roughly
because he worried me, and when he
cried boxed his ears, when a kind
word would have made things all
right. There are plenty of little mat
ters T should have done even to-day,
ifI'd acted up to the parsons ques-
tion."
"We'll try to begin fresh, John.
You're quick and get vexed. We've
} both good deal to learn. We must
just pray that the children and our
friends may see Christ in u.s."
Monday morning came. John was
up early, and before he went off to
work he asked that Christ might be
seen in him that day. Ann did not
forget that she, too, wished that Christ
might be seen in her; and ut break
fast time the children were told how
Christ might be seen in them, and they
were cautioned to be kind and loving
toward one another, and toward their
companions.
Thus, throughout the family, tenn
pers were quelled for Christ's sake,
and John was able, in that same
strength to ask q fellow workman to
forgive the sharp words he had spoken
to him the previous Saturday evening.
'I've had the happiest day ! ever
SPENT" John remarked to his wife
that evening. II know I've long been
a protesting Christian man, but I have
not shown by my behaviour that I do
really want Jesus to he seen in me-
"I'm sure its been just the same
with me-" replied Ann.
~ know why some of our fellows
in the shop find fault with religious
people, and call them no better than
those who have no religion at all. We
Christians are not shining lights; we
get lnto Lne same temperS, ana use the
same sharp words, and do the same ac-
tions as men of the world: and so we
bring reproach on Jesus"
"That's well said, John. I mean to
ask myself every night, Who has
seen Christ in me to-day? I know
that I shall often have to tell God that
I've failed, but Jesus will help ME to
be true to Him, and you know there is
a text which says, Il live, yet not
but Christ liveth in me-"
Dear reader, will you take this ques-
ton home, "Who has seen Christ in
me to-day y?-Fricatlv Greetings.

AS You ARE.-"Gospel services to

AS You ARE.-"Gospel services to-
night. Come in, as you are" This
we saw on a sign-board in front of q
public hall in the city of Portland.
The qualification "as you are" struck
me as being original, at least, we never
saw the sentiment so expressed before /;
but how appropriate, BETTING, Christ
like. AS you are, within, without.
Doubts, misgivings, rebellious, dis
corfraged. AS you are, clothed in rags
or purple. Not readiness, but your
self; not condition of body or soul, but
YOU. Christ has not arisen from that
invitation in it He remains, and
through it He walks the earth. Sweet
or than the music of a thousand
chimes, come, come a; not as you would
be, or may be, but as you are and are
to-day.-Ihe Journal. "

Says Morrell, in his narrative Of the 4
event: "They interchanged address
es, and after sitting few moments we +
departed. The address and the public
prints, and some of the ministers and
members of the other Churches ap-
peared dissatisfied that the .Methodists
should take the lead. In few days
he other denominations followed our {
example" 1ss5 81.
From across the gulf of century we
get these glimpses of the relations Of
the early Methodists to the immortai
Washington. On the back of the I
frame of a miniature portrait of Wash
ington that hung and probably yet
hangs in the old house at Mount Ver-
non is this anonymous inscription,
mature made him great-he made
himself virtuous.D We amend by
saying that Washington had daily
communion with God who creates.
great men, ard by the Holy Spirit
makes and keeps virtuous all who seek
and follow His guidance.
The richest legacy ever bequeathedH &
to people by heroic leader and wise
ruler is the Farewell Address of
Washington. The superiority Of his
character shines brighter and brighter
with the hundred years of the century
just closed. Let all patriotic hearts
pray that the great virtue illustrated ia
the life of Washington may be more s
and more manifested in our national
life. May the principles upon which
he administered the Government guide:
its administration forever. 2
