Mistake en- Efforts.

We make a mistake when we attempt
to lead Christian life without trying
to understand the truth OF the Gospel.
The conduct that God approves and the
experience He permits grow out Of the
commandment He has given. First of
all, He requires that we shall obey, not
in a hap-hazard way, succeeding here
and failing there, but intelligently and
consistently, and out of loving &C.
ceptance of His authority. Nor can
Christians think too much of the spirit
of their devotion. Are there not many
who look upon Gods law as sort of
prohibitory or coercive measure, to
which they bow because they must, and
not because they delight to do SOP
They have not gone to His word to
learn it's sweetness; they have not
tasted and seen that it is good. II,
with our souls filled with love and holy
purpose, we learn His truth. we may
then expect to live so as to receive his
blessing. And the living and receiving
will be alike joyful experience. =

CHOICE SELECTIONS.

There are many ways in which It
would be we'll for us all to carry our
childhood with us, even on into old age
if it were possible, in its trustfulness
and open-heartedness and willingness
not only to love, but to show that we

1t is not often wise to provoke peo-
pie, and yet if we can provoke them
to love and good works." we will do
them and others benefit, and be. also,
obeying the scriptures. That is kind
of provocation that is without anger,
resentment, or any evil disposition. but
one that, on the other hand, carries
with it charity, mercy and all good
fruits. United Presbyterian.
No agnosticsm or scheme OF mere
ethical religion will ever prevail against
Christianity, so long as the human
heart breaks with anguish and the hu-
man understanding falters before the
mystery of life. There is one sublime
utterance which unlocks the problem
of existence-"God is love-" and that
utterance is found only in the religion
of Jesus Christ Zion Herald.
Rev. Albert Barnes, in urging the
Importance of private conversation
with men on the subject of religion,
says: Il have never in more than two
instances been unkindly treated when
l have addressed an individual on the
subject of religion if he was alone.
Such conversation, being discreet, will
seldom provoke wrath and will almost
always be kindly accepted, 1t is one
way of doing good to Others. IN. Y. In

One of the sweetest thoughts that
can come to the mind of the Christian
is that he is understood of God. No
matter what, be the opinions which his
fellow-men may entertain of him or his
deeds, he is conscious that one whose
wisdom is perfect knows all. So the
good New England deacon who is said
to have prayed; Lord. give us grace
to know. Thy will, and grit to do it."
must have had consciousness that he
was understood, and surely the very
heart of prayer was in his homely
words. Chicago Standard.
1t is the glory Of Christianity that
it makes its votaries superior to cir.

THE SERVICE OF LOVE.

Twas the love that lightened service!
The old, old story sweet
That yearning lips and waiting hearts
In melody repeat.
AS Jacob served for Rachel 1885, ..
Beneath the Syrian sky,
Like golden sands that swiftly drop,
The toiling years went by.
Chill fell the dews upon him,
Fierce smote the sultry sun;
But what cold or heat to him,
Till that dear wife was won,
The angels whispered in his ear,
" Be patient and be strong.n
And the thought of her he waited for
Was ever like song.
sweet Rachel, with the secret
To hold a brave man leal;
To keep him through the changeful years,
Her own in woe and veal;
SO that in age and exile,
The death damp on his face
Her name to the dark valley lent
Its own peculiar grace.
And there buried Rachel"
He said of that lone spot
In Ephrath, near to Bethlehem,
Where the wife he loved was not;
For God had taken from him
The brightness and the zest,
And the Heaven above thenceforward kept
In fee his very best
VI the love that lightens service,
Dear God, how much we see,
When the father tolls the livelong day
For the children at his knee;
when all night long the mother wakes,
Nor deems the vigil hard,
The rose of health on the sick ones cheek
Her happy hearts reward.
ofthe love that lightens service
The fisherman can tell,
When he wrests the bread his dear ones eat
Where the bitter surges swell;
And the farmer in the furrow,
The merchant in the mart,
Count little worth their weary toll
For the treasures of their heart
And, 'reverently we say it.
Dear Lord, on Bonded knee,
For the love that lghtened service most
The pattern is with Thee,
Oh, the love, the love of Heaven,
That bowed our load to bear;
The love that mounted to the cross,
And saved the sinners there!
What shall we give? How offer
Our small returns, to tell
That we have seen the Saviour,
And are fain to serve Him welli
Take Lord, our broken spirits,
And have them for Thine own;
And as the bridegroom with the bride,
Reign, Thou, with US, alone.
AS Jacob served for Rachel
Beneath the Syrian sky;
And the golden sands of toiling years
Went swiftly slipping by;
The thought Of her was music
To cheer his weary feet;
Twas love that lightened service,
The old, old story sweet.

the fact that he had been led to do such
wicked thing.
