The Aholishmenfn of DEATH.

Paul. in his Second Epistle to limo
thy. told him that Jesus Christ, by his
appearing" in our world as Saviour,
hath abolished death and hath brought
life and Immortality to light through
he Gospel" III Tim. i, 10 1t is said
in the Epistle to the Hebrews, that
"forasmuch then as the children are
parlakers of flesh and blood, he Chrlstl
also himself likewise took part of the
same. that through death he might de-
stroy him that had the power eff death,
that is the devil, and deliver them who,
through fear of death, were all their
lifetime subject to bondage" Heb. ii,
IA, 49,
These passages contain good news
for humanity. Death has been styled
THE King of Terrors." No merely
physical event in our earthly history is
so terrified as that of death. No other
is 50 much dreaded, and no other is so
unwelcome. All the instincts of our
nature recoil from this event. and bid
us to shun it as loIg as we can. We
would be glad, if possible, to be excused
from dying. The fear is alike natural
universal and all.pervading passion of
the human soul. 1t holds men in the
state of bondage.
In what sense, then, and to what ex-
tent, is it true that Christ. by his ''ap-
peariug," and Through death" has
abolished death, and also delivered
them who. through fear of death, were
all their lifetime subject TO bondageY"
He certainly has not repealed the great
law of mortality, or made men immor-
tai in this world. Whether with or
without His gospel, whether they ac-
cept it or reject it, they must still die,
and, as to their bodies. 20 back to
the dust of the earth. Paul did not
mean TO deny this fact in what he said
to Timothy. He expected himself to
die, and in the same Epistle spoke of
his own death as an event then near
lat hand" I'll. lin. w., s. And yet
his words in respect To the adjustment
OF death are neither meaningless nor
false. There are several most weighty
senses IN which Christ hath abolished
death. and hath brought life aud i'm
mortality to life, and has delivered
those who. through fear of death,
were all their lifetime subject to bond.

Value of Consistency.

In a recent sermon in New York, Rev.
George X. Van de Water held that con
stancy is the supreme attribute OF all
of the attributes Of the human charac-
ter, for without it all efforts fail, and
our labor is left without the crown OF
success To begin a worthy labor Is
good, 10 continue it is better, but to en-
dure to the end is best. He that en-
dures TO the end shall be saved. We
must have faithfulDess to the end and
10 complete. The man who has great
courage. nerve, energy, and enthusiasm
physically, morally aud spiritually, is
assured of success. providing he has.
too. an equal part of constancy with
which to carry out his work.
We are all apt to look upon life and
regret that there is less novelty in 1t
than we would desire, and our con
.tancy in our duty makes it at times
irksome. Consistency, dear friends. to
truth and practice is hardest III our
Christian life, and still before us is the
work of St. Andrew in Gahlee and
Iudla in making converts when his
work was hard, and yet he fulfilled the
mission God had given him. The lives
of all great men, no matter in what
calling, show constaDcY which finally
brought them success.
What is constancy? WHY, it means
knowing what 70 do. how to do it. and
then doing it. In religion it means be.
coming obedient to the mind of Christ.
1t ia hard at times to stick TO your post
when you have no applause and seem
ingly make no progress. and there
