Reflections.

Stills are no better In conversation
than in a foot.race,
Folly must hold its tongue while
wearing the wig of wisdom.
1t is the foolish aim of the atheist
to scan infinitude with a microscope.
A vein of humor should be made
visable without the help of reduc-
tion mill.
The reformer becomes fanatic
when he begins to use his emotions
as substitute for his reasoning fac
ulty.
Many an object in life must be at
tained by flank movements !; 1t is the
zigzag road that leads to the mount

All the paths of life lead to the
grave, and the utmost that we can
do is to avoid the short cuts.

Substantial Shakes.

It was some years since, in the
Ozark region, where I was riding a
circuit, that l saw a minister enjoy a
most substantial handshaking. Shak-
ing hands was his popularity. He
believed in the potency of cordial
grasp to win men to the church. And
though successful in winning souls.
he was very unfortunate in the mat
ter of getting dollars. In fact, pow
ertY continually stared him in the
face. He owned a little farm anil
mortgaged it as long as it would
yield a dollar. The mortgages were
falling due, but there was no pros
pect of paying him. But it did not
bother him. He shook hands more
heartily than ever. II have un-
bounded faith in handshaking to
bring everything out right" he often
said, until his penchant came to be
the talk of the town. AT last came
the day when the mortgage must be
toreclosed that would deprive him of
his little home that sheltered his
family. On the eve of that day a
knock at the door of his house, which
was little way from town., called
him. When he opened The door a
whole crowd rushed in, and. without
saying word, commenced shaking
hands. He felt something cold in
the palm of the first man, AMI when
the hand was Withdrawn it stuck to

said, as he held up S. gold piece.

Here is Weslev's definition of a
Methodist:
"a Methodist is one who loves the
Lord his God with all his heart, with
all his soul. with all his mind. and.
with all his strength. God is thejoy
of his heart. and the desire of his
soul, which is continually crying,
Whom have in heaven but thee {?
and there is none upon the earth
whom l desire besides thee.' My
God and my all! Thou art the
strength of my heart, and my por-
tion foreyer.' He is, therefore, happy
in God yea, a5,0ays happy, as having
in him well of water springing up
into everlasting life, and overflowing
his soul with peace and joy. Perfect
love having now cast out fear, he re-
ioices evermore. Yea. his Joy is full,
and all his bones cry out, Blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who, according to his
abundant mercy. hath begotten me
again unto living hope of an inner
itance incorruptible and undefiled,
reserved in heaven for me-"

The pulpit OF the church over in
Noddington is vacant. Its vacancies
have been often and sometimes long.
This one is longer than the others {;
the next will be longer than this, and
for Obvious reasons. Noddingtown
was so named because no one ever
knew the time when it was not more
than half asleep-wasn't nodding.
Its only orthodox church seems to
strive to keep up the reputation of
the town. No one remembers the
time when it was not asleep in its
chair. Like great many others, the
Noddingtown church is too sleepy to
do its work, and so wants a pastor to
do it for them-a live, brilliant pas
tor, "who will draw a large congre-
gation," and hold it. Several min.
listers who didn't know Noddingtown
when they accepted its call. as we'll
as they came to know it afterwards,
have undertaken that job, fairly
strong in their faith. They have left
1t discouraged, with broken health,
and with no faith at all for the future
of Noddingtown. They found that
Aarons and Hurs were never known
in that church, and probably never
will be; that the pastor was paid for
drawing and holding a paying con.
gregation, while the sleepy church
kept on nodding. The result is.
