Make Sure for Heaven.

TO secure an abode eternal in the
heavenly kingdom it is necessary to he
found OF Christ in peace at his COM
ing; to be thus found of him it is nec-
essary to die in peace; to thus die it is
necessary to live in peace; to thus live
1t is necessary to be converted; to be
converted it is necessary to manifest
repentance towards God and exercise
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. BE
ing justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ" TO maintain the peace thus
realized in conversion, so as to end pro.
baton life in peace, is the duty and
privilege of the justified. "Wherc-
fore, the rather, brethren give dill
gence to make your calling and cleo
tion sure. "Follow peace with all
men, and holiness, without which no
man shall see the Lord" "Where-
fore, beloved, seeing that ye look for
such things, the coming OF Christ and
the awful phenomena incident to his
advent be diligent, that ye may be
found of him in peace, without spot,
and blameless."

GRAINS,

All is not lost when anything goes
contrary to you. :.
A single grateful thought toward
Heaven is prayer: -
Some people onlyunderstand enough
of truth to reject it. ,.,
no be good and disagrecable is high
treason against virtue.
What we ought not to do, We should
not ever think of doing.
Few persons live to-day, but are pre-
pairing to do so tomorrow.
The saddest thing under the sky is
soul incapable of of sadness.
A merely fallen enemy may rise
again, but the reconciled one IS truly
vanquished. ,..
Comparison, m,re than reality,
makes men happy, and can make
them wretched.
Pride. conceit, ambition are oil ut
terly out of harmony with the spirit OF
true Christianity.
How we'll it succeeds when we go
faithfully and conscionably about our
work, and leave the issue TO God!
Some there are who profess 10 de-
spise all flattery; but even these are
nevertheless to be tiattered by belhg
told that they do despise it.
"A more glorious victory can not. pc
gained over another man than this
that when the injury begins on his
part the kindness should begin on
ours.
!. Christ in us, that we may never de-
snair when we are beset by difficulties
we in Him, that when we have at
tanned something we may reach 1or-
ward to greater victories.
Wit loses its respect with the good
when seen in company with maiice
and to smile at the jest which plants
q thorn i'm another's breast, is 10 be-
come a principal in the mischief.
O. that thou wouldst be often feed
ing on the hidden mama, and tasting
the delights of heaven how would
this confirm thy resolutions, ana MAKE
thee despise the vanities of the world
Our superfiuities should be given up
for the convenience of others our con-
veniences should give place to the ne
cessities of others and even our ne.
cessities give way to the extremities OF
the poor. :.
1t is fearful thought that we, as it
were, exhale ourselves every breath
we draw. A mans moral being Is
concentrated in every second of his
life; it lives in the tips of his fingers
and in the spring of his insteps. A.
very little thing tries what man is
made of.
Power of character comes not from
intellectual training or association
with the greatest men of the race, but
by conscious relations to God, by re-
fecting the glory shining from above,
while we look not on the things which
are seen and temporal, but on the
things which are unseen and eternal.
The true life is not thinking or
dleaming, but doing: TO wait Tor
great opportunities, which may nover
come, is to miss the little within our
reach. For as surely as the house is
built brick upon brick, and stone upon
stone, so the little deeds, the daily tri-
fes. the apparently ordinary actions
comprise in their aggregate human life
and human achievement.

Vocal Music and Prevention of Con.
sumption.

AT meeting of the Medical Society
of Virginia, October %, 1883, DIR. {. f..
Busey, of Lynchburg, Va, read Il pa
per on the cultivation of vocal music
in schools Us one of the means of pre-
venting phthisis. He states it rs a
well-known fact that those nations
which are given to the cultivation of
vocal music are strong vigorous races,
with broad expansive chests. 1T an
hour day in public schools were de-
voted to the development Of vocal mu-
sic, there would not be the sad specta-
Gle of the dropping, withered, hollow
chested, round-shouldered children
which confronts us now. There is too
great tendency to sacrifice physical
health upon the altar of learning.
Vocal music is gymnastic exercise OF
the lungs, producing increased eXpan-
sion of the lung tissue itself. The
lungs in improved breeds of cattle,
which naturally take little exercise
and are domiciled much of the time,
are considerably reduced in size, when
compared with those animals running
at liberty and so it is with the human
beings who lead inactive lives. Phth-.
isis generally begins at the apices OF
the lungs, because these parts are more
inactive, and because the bronchial
tubes are so arranged that they carry
the inspired air with greater facility TO
the bases than to the apices. During
inactivity person will ordinary y
breathe about 4SO cubic inches of air
per minute. If he will walk at the
rate of six (sic) miles an hour, he will
breathe 3, 26O cubic inches. In singing
this increases more than in walking,
as singing we'll requires all of the ca.
paclty of the lungs. The instructor OF
vocal music, i'm addition to his musical
education, should understand the anat-
omy and physiology of the respiratory
organs Virginia Medical Monthly.

The Apostle...The CrOSS---The World,

Paul gloried in the cross OF our Loru
Jesus Christ, whereby the world was
erucified unto him, and he unto the
world. He gloried in the odium
which the enemies Of Christ associat-
ed with the cross, and this was his
highest or sole glory, and was also the
exclusive medium of communication
with the world or the church. All
other "wires" had been cut, thus cru
cifying the world unto him and him
unto the world. He was "determincd
not to know or approve any thing" i'll
the churches that was not in agree
ment with "Christ and him crucified.' ~
He would not send any communica-
ton to the world or receive any from
the world save through the cross OF
Christ.
Thus was Paul enabled to do, to sHf-
fer and to glory through Christ who
strengthened him.. The explanation
Of the whole matter is that Paul was
filled with the Spirit of Christ.

According to the Ercning Stars re-
port of a recent talk by Admiral P"r-
Ter. he 1.-THE admiraD indulgcs in some
boas,ful words about possible war
with Germany which words, in the
present state of affairs ut Samoa ana
the approaching Conference at Berlin,
are untimeIy and unwise. 1t is time
enough to talk about war after diplo-
macy and arbitration have failed, and
time enough to sketch plans of fight
ing later OH.
We cannot afford to appropriate
space to the article as copied in the
Columbia Register, but will extract Il
few sentences which may indicate the
drift of the Admirals talk. He says
No one supposes that the American
people would give up the contest until
Germany had received a sound druh'
bing. We have surplus ami revenues
enough, with taxes now at minimum
point, to carry on desultory war until
we are in fighting trim. While we art
getting ready we can prohibit the entry
of German manufactures into the
United States.
"If, for the time being, Germany
should try to blockade our ports, i'll
less than sixty days we would find al
English fleet OH our coasts involved III
protecting her own trade with the
United States.
England and France would be forced
as a measure of industrial self-defenst
to protect their vessels and their tradt
with the United States.
We have the money, and could east
ly spend $3.50, 900, 900 in ships and ap
pliances of war.

What Others Say.
New Orleans Christian Advocate.

Is THERE Nor A MIsTAKE?-l
have long been noticing such remarks
rs the following in regard to the ap-
pointments Of PREACHERS That man
deserves q better dppOintMent; :"
THAT man is coming dOaOn ;" "That
work ESPECIALLY if it is good one
should have u better preacher" And
if can read the signs of the times
correctly, there is q prevalent practice
of judging of the quality and merits
of u preacher by the quality of the
work he is sent to serve. If he serves
a third-rate appointment, he is third
rate preacher; and if he serves first
rate appointment-well, the inference
is plain.
i know nothing of the working OF
the Bishops and their Cabinet, but |
am inclined to think there is slight
mistake in thus invariably estimating
preachers and their work. If the
Bishop and his Cabinet see weak
work Struggling for life, and they have
at their command good preachers
man that would rank well-and by
sending this man to said weak work
it could be built up, would it be any
thing more than just to send him to
it? Would it be q disco,nting of the
preacher and his talent? Could it be
considered aUaste of talent? Would
it Justify the remark SO often heard
''That preacher is coming doaOn !''
Coming down, indeed! Is there any
coming down in going to save poor
lost souls and build up our common
cause? Yes; verify such coming
down as that exhibited by our blessed
Savior, when he came to earth land
took upon himself the form of q ser.
want" ito seek and to save that which
was lost" Is not this idea Of change
of position, as well as place, included
in our itinerant system? And, after
all, the change of position in point OF
importance is more apparent than real
ANY place where we can work for the
Master is an exalted position. Was
Paul undcrratcd when commanded tc
turn from the Jews to the Gentiles
Was he coming doa0n when called in
to Macedonia, and there had to suffer-
Was he losing rank when sailing @
prisoner to Rome?

From Samoa

The dispatch below will quiet the
fears and anXieties abroad in the coun-
try, occasioned 10y the rumor of na-
Val fight at Samoa. AS yet the ru-
NOR has not been traced to its origin.
AUCKLAND, n. Il, March l4.-Ad-
vices lust received from Samoa show
that there was no basis for the scnsa-
tional rumOr of the sinking of the Unit
ed States man-Of-war Nipsic 10y the
German corvette Olga. Far from this:
The German officials in the island have
entirely given up their aggressive poi,
icy. Their proclamation OF martial
law has been publicly withdrawn, and
the Germans have abandoned all claim
to the right of searching incoming
vessels for cOntraband of war. Both
these steps have met with the hearty
approval of all the foreign residents al
Apia and have had quieting effect.
The usual tranquility prevails
throughout the island. Mataala, how
ever, has a force Of troops estimated to
be 5000 strong. Tamasesc's army COLI
sists of about 700 men.
Men-of-war, both German and Amer
lean, still remain ut Apia, ready for
any emergency that may arise.

TO rejoice with them that do rejoice
is some times brighter display o.
grace than to weep with those who
weep. Ore who has little charity cal
sympathize with his neighbor in deer
sorrow, but to sympathize fully in the
joy of his prosperity requires freedom
from envy and jealousy. When one
receives 4 good appointment or great
promotion narrow men do not con
gratulate him sincerely. They say he
did not deserve it, or he will disgrace
it, or meanly insinuate that he secured
it by the use of unworthy means. But
men of large hearts and genuine man.
hood will take unfeigned pleasure in
the prosperity of Others.

note concerning the question discussed

Christ reached the "masses )" and il
