An Atheists Testimony.

Mhegard, professor of philosophy in
the University of Copenhagen, has,
until recently, been the apostle of
atheism in this country. He has, says
Semeur VaudoiS, just published sec
ond edition of one of his works, and
this is what he says in the introduction
The experience of life, its sufferings
and griefs, have shaken my soul, and
have broken the foundation upon which
| formerly thought | could build. Full
of faith in the sufficiency of science, l
thought to have found in it sure
refuge from all the contingencies of
life. This illusion is vanished; when
the tempest came which plunged me in
sorrow, the moorings, the cable of
science, broke like thread. Then /
seized upon that help which many be-
fore me have laid hold of. l sought
and found peace in God Since then l
have certainly not abandoned science,
but have assigned to it another place
in my life" Happy are they who
learn to build upon sure foundation
before the final storm descends, when
the hail shall sweep away the refuge OF
lies, and the waters shall owe, flow the
hiding places of infidelity and unbe-
lief.-The Armory.

Old Age.

At one time when Dean Stanley was
sixty years of age little boy said to
him, with child's frankpess, " Why,
all your life is over" "Oh, no, the
best is yet to comeW With the same
serene hope he spoke of death, ON
another occasion, as follows: There
the soul finds itself on the mountain
ridge overlooking the unknown future !;
our company before is gone; the kins
folk and friends of many years are
passed over the dark river, and we are
left alone with God. We know not in
the shadow of the night who it is that
touches us-we feel only that the ever
lasting arms are closing us in; the twi-
light of the morning breaks, we are bid
to depart in peace, for by strength
not our own we have prevailed, and the
path is made clear before u.s. Selected.

y merry heart doeth good like a
medicine" says the wise man. He
also says: "a merry heart maketh a
cheerful cOuntenance; and il is certain
that a cheerful countouance does good
wherever it is carried. Some persons
seem to think that to be good it is nee
essary to be severely solemn; but there
is no reason why good young man
should wear a long, suur-l0oking face,
and sinful one be gayly attractive. If
any one in the world ought to be cheer
ful it is the person who is a Christian.
Virtue has a better time than sin can
ever have. The pleasures of sin are
enjoyable for the moment, but after
that conscience stings, sense of
shame degrades, and often the fear of
discovery adds its misery TO the list.
The pleasures which a Christian may
enjoy have no such bitterness, but are
pleasant to look back upon. Christian
boys and girls, remember it is Christ.

and one of the best ways to do this is
to cultivate merry heart and cheer.

Effect of Prayer.

What the key is to the watch, prayer
is to religion; it winds it up and sets
it going. Ii is before other duties in
regard of opportunity for its perform
ance. A Christian can not always hear
or always read, or always communicate,
but he may pray continually. No
place, no company, can deprive him OF
this privilege. If he be on the top OF
house with Peter, he may pray; if h.
be in the bottom of the ocean with
Jonah, he may pray; if he be walking
in the fields with Isaac, he may pray
when no eye seeth him; if he be wait
ing at table, like Nehemiah, he may
pray when no ear heareth him; if h.
be on the mountain with our Saviour,
he may pray; if he be in prison with
Paul, he may pray; wherever he is,
prayer will help him to find God out.
Every saint is Gods temple; "and hi
that carrieth his temple about him.
saith Austin, "may 90 to prayer when
he pleaseth. George S,cinock.

Reasonable Pride.

People who have seen better days are
naturally enough fond of referring to
the fact, especially when in the pres
ence of new acquaintance. The trait
is not unamiable. We all like to stand
well with our fellows. An exchange
tells story of school mistress who
had gone to teach in rural town,
where she boarded around" accord
ing to the old custom. On the second
Monday she went to "new place"
and at noon sat down with the family at
a small pine table on which was dinner
of brown bread, fat fried pork and baked
potatoes. We are not told whether she
enjoyed the meal or not, but just as the
chairs were pushed back one of the
children, little girl of perhaps ten
years, suddenly exclaimed: 8" know
what good victuals s. Yes, ma'am, l
know what It's" do you, indeed?"
answered the embarrassed teacher, at a
loss what to say, but ashamed to say moth
ing. Yes, ma'am, | know what good
victuals is. I've been away from home
several times and eaten lots on 'em."
