NATIONAL WORTH OF MINIS
TIERS.

In our opinion there is nc
class Of men who do so much tu
develop the minds and hearts of
the people IS the ministers. The
pulpit is a powerful popular ed
ucatOr of the mind. 1t Is also
a fountain sending out streams
to refresh and invigorate the
conscience of the masses IT, do
right. The pulpit not only pro
notes practical intelligence, but
rouses up and stimulates public
sentiment to obey law, to tell
the truth, to deal hon ,stly, to
be faithful to contracts, to 1--we
peacefully among themselves,
to be good citizens and good
neighbors. Thus we see that
the influence of the pulpit is to
enlighten, to edify, to pour
practical thoughtinto the minds
Of the people, and to purify the
heart and quicken the conscience
to live righteously, sober!y and
godly. In quality then the mill
isterial Influence is first class,
conservative, luminous, healthy,
developing all that is good and
excellent in man.
There are now about one hun
dre1 thousand ministers in the
United States. Now think Of
this number of men engaged i'll
the work Of building up the
christian manhood of the peo-
pie, and who can tell their worth
to the nation. As salt keeps
meat from spelling, so the iu-
fiuence of religion keeps the
people from falling into the rot
tenness of anarchy, intidelity
and mmanageable public cor
rUption. An exchange SAYS that
THE ministry of the United
States can reach with the liq ing
voice 23,000,0C0 of people. Pro-
badly 23,0eO,O00, who are old
enough to go to church, are eff
fectively reached by the voice
Of the pulpit in this land =
Christian Advocate.

THE WEATHER CLERKS DREAM.

How the wind sang in the eayesi Apong
That anon was crdel and cold and strong,
And anon sobbed low in the dreamer's ears
With q ftful pause a. IL hushed for tearsi
Signing and sobbinR and shriekinR Of snow,
And the terrible storm Of q year ago,
OF the children lost in the drifts; the men
On the plains who never came nome again.
The pilot-boats that were lost at sea,
The street-cars lost at the Battery,
The beggars lost In an alleyway.
Tn women and children who knelt 10 pray
In sight-almost-of the frelit hearth
And. deep in q drift, were lost to earth.
The dreamer stirred and his breath came quick;
He looked again whore the snow whirled thick,
Where the great white fakes had changed in q
trice
To piercing needles Of driving Toe.
He looked again, and his blood stood still:
He heard the wolves howl over the hill,
Saw the horses pant as they ploughed through
the night,
While the drivers features were set and White,
Heard the pitiful moan of q little child
And the prayers OF q mother rise fast and wild
Blizzard bound, In the plains astray.
Miles and miles from the wonted way
He shrieked and awoke In agony
Fer the wolves leaped over the sxle-tree.
Midnight out on the sea, the gale
Tears at the fragments OF q sail
That 1utter and wave, as in wild appeal
To the straining spars and the g~roaning keeli
Midnight under the leaden sky,
The clouds like horrible shadows fy;
Midnight! and over the icy spray,
As the long waves course their prey.
A human soul cries out In alright,
And then the winds rave on to the night
Where is the Cythera, whore are the tsrs
That looked through the snow wrack up to the
stars?
Where is the statesman whose stately form
Was the pride Of the town before that storm 2
Where are the merchants who fought q track
To their stores, and were lost in the driving
wrack7
Where are the children whose tender notes
Were frozen like nestlings in their throatsf
Where are the sparrows frozen sere?
Where are the blizzards OF yester-yeari

Every thing is new and every new
thing is strange. The big wall which
surrounds the city is q wonder. and its
three great gates are more wonderful

these the King knows that all Is well.
These watch fires are signals, and they
form part of 4 continuous line Of fires.
which are built upon the hills in all

They tell by their different flames and
the intensity whether all is well along
