when he said, Except II man h"
born again. he cannot see the King

beginning Of new light. The prodi'
gal son in the parable had been dead,
and was alive again. Being "tuund"
and coming to life are described ~
the same thing. you are alive, you
ought to know it,
Then probe yourself with such close
questions as these: Have begun To
hate the sins used to love ; and have
Igiven up the practices which the
Bible and my conscience condemn?
DO | pray earnestly to be delivered
from all sin, and watch against it ?
Have l submitted my will to Jesus
Christ, to let him rule me and own
me and guide me? Do / distrust my
self entirely, and trust Jesus only?
Do feel real satisfaction in doing
right and trying to please God
Have l begun to feel such an interest
in others that / want to do them
good? While the Holy Spirit is
working on me, do | work with the
Holy Spirit? DO l honestly endeav.

Self Efacement in Work.

A quantity of consecrated power is
indicated by the wings with which
in the Vision Of the Seraphim, each
seraph covered his feet, or, indeed
his whole person. This quality Of
self-efacement, or self-forgetfulness,
enters into all good work, and most
of all into the best. A great work
apparently does itself. Some day the
humble dOer awakens, and behold
the work is done, aud he is himself
astonished. He only knew there was
a good work to do, or q great wrong
to resist, and he had no choice but to
be ut it. so men have conducted
themselves in battle; the fortres,

The Mountains are Full of Them.

1t is said that for several weeks past
there has been a rumbling noise, SIM
liar to distant thunder, at one of the
highest points of the mountains, about
eleven miles from Sparta, and on
Saturday evening, Jan. 10, smoke
was seen issuing from a point higher
than those near it. A column Of
dark smoke began to rise, and it as
cendt d about forty feet in the form of
a huge black balloon, then the air be.
came charged with the fumes of sui
phur. After this the smoke changed
to a light gray color, then there was
sharp, quick report, like a twenty
FOUNDER, which was followed by a
shower of sparks and gravel. 1t is
still burning, with an increased vol
ume of smoke and fire. Those living
near are somewhat excited.-Ameri

The Fear of Death.

The fear of death keeps many in
bondage. This fear arises chiefly
from misrepresentation of what death
really is. 1t is thought of as catas.
tr0phe, as breaking up of all that
we know, n going out into the dark
ness, a summons to the terrible Judge
ment in which the sins and failures
of life are called out into fearful
prominence. 1t is all this to the I'M
believing. They go from wasted
life 10 Him who gave life as sacred
trust; from life Of dlS0hedience 10
their rightful Lord to receive accord
ing to that they have done :, from At
life of sin to be driven out from the
presence of the Holy One; from life
Of wrong building, now all wrecked,
into the wretchedness Of the ruin OF
all good for ever. But to the one in
Christ, death should have no terror.
1t is not breaking up, but tie estab.
lishment Of all that has been good
"Their works do follow them" 1t il
not the destruction of any hope
Christ is our hope, and we are in him
1t is not going to fearful juigemen
for they go with the guarantee tina
"there is now no condemnation I,
them that are in Christ Jesus" 1t !
not the end of life, for ours is eterns
life, and "our life is hid with Chris
IN God; when he who's our life shal
; appear, then shall we also appea
with him in glory" In death ther
, will be, not Il change of character
8 but an unfolding Of the grace now er
joyed in the love of Him who hi
G died for us, and has given us his ow
v eternal life by his Spirit.-Unite

little excitement was created here Saturday
by the announcement that water was es-
Gaping from WrighPs pond, short distance
east OF Fincastle, which pond is surrounded
on all sides by hllls and has no outlet. The
water had forced its way through a small
opening at the base OF the hill on the eastern
side OF the pond, and reappeared on the
other side OF the hill. After flowing down
the hillside for about ten feet II sank into
the ground, to make It's final appearance
through i limestone spring at the bottom Of
the hill. 1ha water continued 10 escape IN
steady stream until the depth OF the pond,
usually about ten feet, was less by several
feet, and the water was on level with the
opening through which II was flowing. This
pond IL one Of the largest sheets OF water IN
this vicinity and is 6lled from small springs
in the bottom. There Is no accounting for
the opening in the hill.
