WISE SAYINGS.


God is Is deep, and long, and high,
as our little world Of circumstances
A. Is. Simpson.
The serene, silent beauty Of : holy
life is the most powerful influence IN
the world, next to the might Of the
Spirit Of God.-Spurgeon.
God is good enough and great
enough to supply every thing. When
all abandon US, let US abandon al TO
him.-Ven. Mather Borat.
We need much courage. II we are to
get through the world properly, and
having it. we need to know how to reg
ulate and use it.-United Presbyterian.
-Multitudes of men wish to be rich,
but they do not choose to be. To choose
to be rich means the pursuit Of tho
means by which riches are acquired.
Also multitudes wish to be Christians,
but they do not choose to be Christians.
Herein lies the rub; wishing and choos-
ing are two very different things
Standard.
There are two kinds Of food-one
for the body, and the other for the soul.
The former ''perisheth" with the using;
and the latter ''endureth unto everlast-
ing life." John vi, 27.) The latter ID
the food that We most need to eat, and
should seek with the greatest diligence.
1t is the Heavenly mama that will en-
rich and satisfy the soul forever.-N. Y.
Independent.
A man Of God is worth more than .
man Of means, II the choice must DO
made between the two. A godly poor
man is ten times the treasure to .
church, as . means Of support, that .
goddess rich man would prove to BE-.
And the truth is just as true in the case
of woman IS Of man. Yet how much
more is ordinarily thought Of gaining
or losing one rich person, than ono poor
one, in the average congregation.-S g.
Times.
Ono reason why David desired to
dwell in the house Of the Lord was that
he might Enquire in His temple"
Many think only of the pleasure that
they find in church attendance, but spir-
itual profiting ought to be ono of our
principal thoughts. II there was more
Of disposition with professors of Chris
tianity to Enquire" for the truths that
may enlarge the mind and heart there
