rr>ror CHRISTIAN CHARACTER.

There are ZINES when the most al
vanced Christian doubts whether he has
made any attainment at all IN the
Christian life: and perhaps 1t Is the
most advanced Christian who IS most
liable to doubts of that sort. y child
NAV fancy that he has made great
strides in knowledge and attainment;
but 10 the greatest of philosophers the
utmost outreach Of human effort seems
like gathering Of pebbles on the shore
of q llmitless ocean. In the Christian
life the beginner feels tnat the
breaking 10 Of some bad habit. or
the presence Of some new and
worihier principle. Is the token OF
large progress, while the advanced
Christian who has come to see in some
measure what the unreservod conse-
Grafton Of life means, must sometimes
doubt whether he has fairly begun the
course that is set before him. Ii Is all

so: sometimes. no doubt, it Is sickness
of the body that brings sickness Of
mind: but unless ore were prepared to
deny all reality TO the experience of

morbid nor fanciful. one must confess
that such doubts do, at times, veX true
saints OF God.
When the doubt does assail such an

belief; the knowledge Of Gods truth
then appears in the light of a RESPONSE

does he take comfort in bis own most
meritorious conduct; III the self search
ings of an awakened conscience good
deeds always look small. Some more
searching test is necessary.
A plain and decisive test of Christian
character which may safely be applied
on all occasions is most precious, and
such test is given by st. John in this
short sentence: We know that we

With that assurance he can well
afford to be patient with himself
and not despair because of his short
comings. The love of Christ being
in him, he has the best assur-
ance that the hand of Christ is leading
him in ways that he himself does not
set know aud to an end of perfectness
that he himself cannot foresee. This
assurance will foster no vain spirit of
self. satisfaction; rather it will stimulate
the spirit of endeavor; the strengthened
soul will press forward towards the

God 10 Christ jesus and ever as il
presses forward it will strive after
greater fulness Of that love for the
brethren which is the uufailing evil

AN AMERICAN AUTHOR IN LONDON.

The proof of this vague antagonism
lies in the fact that every American
visiting England finds himself CON
stantly held up for comparison with an
imaginary and typical being whom
neither he nor his English questioner
has ever seen. His worst annoyance is
ia being praised, if at all, at the expense
of his country. IL he has an atom OF
color in his cheeks, if he does not speak
very much through his nose, if he does
not say guess" at short intervals, he
is sure to hear, first or last, from his
tailor or his cbambermaid, the plying
assurance: You an American, slrI /
give you my word of honor | never
should have thought it," What does
this imply but the assumed existence of
some abstract and very undesirable
American. as intangible as Plato s
archetypal man. as remote from real
vision as the conventional Engllshman

RIrsKiN'S BOYHOOD.

As one reads "Praterita" it seems as
if John Ruskin wrote MS history not
with ink, but painted it down with
light and color; he brings the very at
mospherc of his life and its phases be-
fore US with such an instantaneous
mastery as few besides have ever
reached-the life within and the sight
without, the sweet eternal horizons
(even though they be but Norwood hills
and ridges, the living and delightful
figures in the foreground.
Mrs. Ruskin. with all her passionate de
votion to her son, seems to have had no
idea whatever of making little child
happy. The baby 8 education was ter
