Not n Book of Rules.

A chief value of the Bible as a guide
of human conduct is found in the fact
that it is book of vital principles in
stead of being book of rigid rules;
that it indicates in its precepts
the spirit that should influence
us in all our actions instead of
declaring to us in specific injunctions
the application of those principles in
every imaginable case. Yet it is just
at this point that the Bible is misunder-
stood by many, and that many are
perpleXed by what seems to them a
lack of explicitness in the divinely in
spired teachings of the Bible, says the
Sunday School Times.
The Bible declares it to be every
mans duty to love God supremacy, and
to love every child of man as one
dear to God himself. This command
ment is exceedingly broad" 1t rep
resents a principle which can find its
application at all times, in any and
every relation OF life. He who really
wants to know and do just what is
right in any given case has the re-
sponsibility laid upon him of finding
out for himself how the principle bears
upon that case, and then of acting ac-
cordingly.
But if a man is puzzled to know
whether he shall take the right OF
the left hand when he meets fellow
man on narrow crossing in a muddy
street, he will find no specific declara-
tion on the subject in the pages OF the
entire Bible. The principles enun-
ciated in the Bible ought to enable a
man to see that it is his duty to con.
form to the well-defned current prac-
tice in such a matter, and to concede
to his fellow man that portion of the
pathway which custom or law declares
to be his. But unless a man is willing
to study out from Bible principles q
rule that should guide him in the case,
he must be so far without a rule that
has the Bible sanction.
And thus it is in all the range Of
human duty; the Bible enunciates the
principle that ought in every case tc
| be mans standard of action, while il
does not propose to supply a man with
specific rule for every particular case
before him for decision. Although
this is Enthusiastically the truth concern.
ing the Bible, it is by no means gener.
ally recognized as the truth; and be.
cause of the misconceptions of the pur-
pose and methods of the Bible so far,
men are constantly misleading them
selves in courses of conduct through
their conviction that the Bible doe,
or does not specifically pass upon those
courses of conduct for AN time ant
every person.

Give a Kind Word when You Can,


DO you know u heart that hungers
For a word OF love and cheer.
There are many such about us;
1t may be that one is near.
Look around YOU. Ii you find it
Speak the word that's needed so,
And your own heart may be strengthened
BY the help that you bestow.
1t my be that some one falters
On the brink of sin and wrong,
And word from you might save him
Help to make the tempted strong,
Look about you, o my brother.
What sin is yours and mine
II we see that help is needed
And we give no friendly sign.
Never think kind words are wasted,
Bread on waters east are they,
And it may he we shall find them
Coming back TO us, some day.
Coming back when sorely needed,
In time OF sharp distress,
SO, my friend, let's give them freely;
Gift and giyer God will bless.

"There Is n Happy Land"

The account in some of the late pa
pers of the burial of Mr.. A. Young,
the author of the hymn There is a
Happy Land g" when the children of
the Sabbath-school of which he had
been superintendent for many years
stood round his grave singing it, re-
called to my memory an interesting in
cident
Many years ago I attended a Sab
bath-school convention at Columbus
Ohio.
The large audience had just united
in that sweet hymn to its sOul-stirring
tune, when Il gentleman rose and said
in substance: Il could almost wish to
alter one expression in the hymn. |
do not like to think the Happy land is
far, far array. To me it seems very
near since my little daughter has gone
there. A few months ago my home
was gladdened by the presence of my
little daughter, five years of age. My
home is short distance from Cleve-
land, and it was her delight to come
toward the close of each day in Il car
riage to bring me to it.
Almost every evening, as | sat in
my counting room, | would hear her
voice as she entered the warehouse
calling out Come home, papa, come
home
But the Messenger OF Death was sent
to call her to the Better Home. AS |
hung over her sicll-bed she would say
Il love you and mamma very much,
but love Jesus more And so she
went to the Happy Land. Now / seem
to hear her voice still calling me.
Come home, papa, come home and
Heaven seems very near and not
Far, far away"
Have we not all felt the same
when some dear one has been taken
from our side who, we feel sure, for
the dear Saviour's sake, has gone TO
that Happy Land?
To how many children-to how
many adults have these tuneful words
been an inspiration-to how many
have they been as a revelation OF the
Heavenly Home!-S. 7. w.

Alarshnllton Notes.

Correspondence Of the REPUBLICAN,.
We have noticed several brilliant pro-
dactions Of tho pen lately In the REPuB-
LICAN signed by the "Lone 3 Flsherman'
and 1.-THE Bite. There 10 good reason to
euppose that these writer's are In reality
the same in each case. They write under
simply to gain notoriety, so loved by
some natures. Well, they have gained
it; their charming PRODUCTIONS are read
by the natives with admiration aud envy.
One man was heard to cxclaim: "Oh, II
could only write Ike that would run
for Governor or the Levy Court" How
ever, this 10 all needless, their work
speaks for Itself; no need OF praislng 1t
this way. Only when Delaware Is In
need OF great men let us look toward
Marshslltou and from behind the stove
In Spicer's store, no doubt but we shall
find our heroes. Our friends, the "Lone
Fisherman" and ''The Bite" are not at
all personal in their remarks, as is shown
by referring to Tuesdays REPUBLICAN.
