Human JudCmcnta.

Jesus never mentioned any Of earth's great
men (so-calledD with words of praise. There
had been great conquerors before his time,
like Alexander tho Great, but no never al
luded to them. There had been philoso-
phcrs like Plato and Aristotle and Socrates,
but he never spoke of them. Rich men had
received the notice Of their fellow men, but
he never mentioned them by namc. None Of
those of whom human history speaks most
largely came in for a word Of communication
from him or his apostles in Inter years. This
should bid us pause, and mako aus stop to
think whether our human judgments arc not
totally faulty. Have we not put tho seal of
greatness where 1t does not befong
In what respect is the world better today
for the existence of tho rich man like Croesus,
of conquorers like Alexander, of hIloso-
piers like Plato, Of authors like Ciccrof
What really valuable thing should we lose
had such men never existed? Gather all the
conquercrs of the world together, and say
whether they have been as useful to tho
world as one John Bunyan or ono John Wes-
ley: Put oil your philosophical books to-
gether, and declare whether they hnvo ac-
complished rs much for humanity ms the
epistlc of Paul to the Galatians Match Bis
marck and Luther, and judge whether poll
tician or preacher has the best of 1t in the
long run. On the other hand, il you blot
out Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David the
singer, Elijah Isaiah, John the Baptist,
Psul, from human. history, you usher in
blackness Of darkness.-A. f. Schaubier.

Practical Life.

Daily and hourly we meet questions TINT
demand an immediate answer-qucstions
that relate to food and raiment to the hand
to-hand conflict with earthly necessities.
Perplcxitics arising from these sources are
sometimes the occasions Of greatest peril to
Christian faith. Many n soul has overcome
In spiritual combat, only to fall before the
enemy assault ing him through outward
and visible circumstances. They have for
gotten that Christ Is their Lord In material
good rs well as I'm spiritual They have
failed to follow him in principles revealed
for practical life, and have re-
gardad Christ saviour only in
spiritual things. Ono has forcibly said,
" 'He that followeth me shall not walk in
darkness. That saying has lower and a
higher fulflmcnt In the wer, IL refers
to practical life and it's pcrplcxities Nobody
who has not tried it would believe how many
difficulties are cleared out Of a mans road
by the simple act of trying to follow Christ.
No doubt there will still remain obscuriti,s IS
enough us to what we ought to do to call for
the best exercise Of patient wisdom; but an
enormous proportion of them vanish
like mist when the sun locks through
when once we honestly set oursclves to
find out where the pillarcd Light is guiding.
1t is reluctant will and intrinsic liking, and
dlsllk1ngs that obscure the way for us much
oftener than real obscurity in the way itself.
1t is seldom impossible to discern the divine
will when we only wish to know it that we
may do 1t. And If ever it is impossible for
us, surely that impossibility y is like the cloud
resting on the tabernacle II sign that for
tho present His will is that we should be still,
and wait and watch"

The Anchor of the SouI.

Walking, on day ono summer, through
the vast navy yard of Portsmouth, England,
l came upon n street called Anchor street
There, side by side, in long lines, wero laid
multitudes of the hughcst anchors. You could
not look ut thoee immense and graphing
flukcs, and mighty iron shafts, without a
very real feeling Of rcstful mastery over
tides and storms. With her cable fastened
to one of those grclt anchors, and with that
anchor getting grip On the bottom Of the
sea, ro lee shore could threaten, or devastat-
ing breaker harm the gallant ship.
Do you remember how in the Epistle to the
Hebrews we are told of the anchor Of the
soul? Tho anchor Of the soul-what steady,
mastcrful word is This, amid the tossings and
the changes and the dashng uncertainties of
our lives!
Aud will you notice popularity Of this
anchor of the soul? We arc told it entereth
into that within the ell. The veil i'm the old
Temple was the symbol of separation be
tween God and man. And in this scripture
about the anchor of the soul, the veil stands
for whatever distance, or mystery or sinful.

The hawser which holds this anchor passes
up and through the celestial spaces through
every veil of any sort hiding the face of God,
and there, in the place OF the s,lectcst Di-

the soul seize and hold TO the very buttresses

A Radical Remedy Required.

The total abstinence movement has made
many sober men, and it is not proposed to
abate any effort along that line; bur, never
theless, tho fact must be recognized that the
total abstinence movement does not cure the
drink evil. Some other remedy must be de-
vised to supplement the work of the church
and the temperance society. A physician
would not follow mild method of treatment
If the disease grew moro pronounced and

remedy that was radical and heroic. The
