Commencing Right.

In the year 1927 young man, then
studying for the ministry, was requested
to preach in town in this state. The
meeting was held in the evening at a
private house. Knowing that two or
three Deists were present, some
remarks were made upon anthem
ITCHY of Gods Word. The president of
an in6del club arose and interrupted
the speaker, who mildly said to him,
:" Sit down, and after meeting | will
talk with you" When the services
closed, there was hardly time for con-
versation, and an appointment was
made that the parties should meet at
the house of a friend on the follow
ing morning. AT the appointed hour,
the president, with several infidel
books under his arm, and large hand
kerchief full of pamphlets and papers,
made his appearance, in company with
two members of the club. No sooner
were the parties seated, and the large
table covered with his religious dissect-
ing knives, than the infidel began with
much warmth to pour forth his con-
tempt for the Bible. "Stop, sir, STOP"
said the student "Let us commence
right, and then we shall end well. Do
you believe there is a God who made
all things-a God who has mind?"
81 do" Do you believe he created
you, feeds, clothes and watches over
you and yours, without any reward?"
Certainly l do" "Well, sir, that
we commence right, please lead in
prayer. Ask the God in whom you be-
lieve to direct us to the rejection of
that Bible if it is false, and if it is true,
receive it. We do not want TO be de-
ceived." The man hesitated and said,
81 never pray, l do not believe in
prayer" "Never pray, sir! do you
not believe in prayer, when your God
has done so much for you? never thank
him for his goodness? Have you no
father?" eyes, sir" Do you
never thank him? If you had child
whom you had always blest, would he
not thank you when you bestowed upon
him some little trinket?" 81 suppose
he would" "Well, sir, commence
right. Just pray; pray and thank God "
81 can't pray" The student then
turned to his infidel companions and
asked them to pray, and they both de-
clined. With indescribable feelings he
knelt, and, with great freedom, poured
out his whole heart to God. AS he fin
ished they all three arose from their
seats. The president passed his fingers
through his hair, and as he gathered up
his books, said: " / think we will talk
no more. 1t will do no good" Tue
student waited on them to the door,
and in short time heard that the club
had disbanded.- Religious Herald.

A Quaint Statement.

A number of homely people were
talking of temptation" That part
which Satan takes in the believers
temptations came into discussion.
Many good things were uttered. A
quaint old pilgrim was appealed to.
The old man rose, and said: "Well,
my friends, you ask what l think be
the best way to deal with Satan. I'll
tell zee. Now, if you will take an old
pilgrims advice, you'll never parley
with zen. He amt wise, for if he had
bin, he'd stopped i'll heaven; but he's
very artful, and he's had pretty long
spell these 'ere six thousand years in
studyin' the weak points O. human
natur'. And so sure as you begin to
parley with zen, he'll outwit you, and
throw you. I'll tell zee what l ha'
done with he these many years. never
speak TO zen at all, but just as soon as
he comes to me / allus introduce him

Mary's Beautiful Deed.

individuality counts for much in
Christian service. Each one is pos
sessed of personality which puts dis
tinctive mark on whatever is done by
him. The amounting of Jesus by
Mary is called beautiful deed, be-
cause it was Mary whose mind planned,
whose heart prompted, whose hands
executed it. 1t was loving personal
service personally wrought. Misinter-
preted indeed by the disciples, whose
murmuring rose like marring discord,
it was understood by the Master and
commended by him. 1t was Mary, the
quiet, reflective sister, who seated her.
self at the feet of the Savior and kept
listening to his words, whose brother,
Lazarus, Jesus had raised from the
grave, who sought in her own way to
express her affection and gratitude TO
Christ. DO not, then, hesitate to render
your service because it is different from
that of your neighbor; for if it is the
expression of your personality, not the
mechanical imitation of another's work
it will be accepted by our Lord as
beautiful service. Our best service
can not be rendered until our substance
is reckoned in the Offering. What
she hath is a more literal rendering
than " What she could" 1t was an
expensive Offering even in its money
value. 1t may have been, like the
widows mite, all her living, hence more
than the ampler gifts of the wealthy;
but 1t was the lavishing of her sub
stance upon the Christ. Some said she
might have employed it to better effect,
but Jesus indicated Mary by declar-
ing that the amounting had even deeper
meaning than she knew. Bring your
prayers and your praises, but let the
conservation of your substance be the
Amen of sincere gratitude. Mary rem
dered tribute of loving testimony in
her beautiful deed. That testimony
has been repeated times unnumbered
. wherever the gospel has been pub
lished. And so long as these records
of the Savior's earthly life shall be
studied Mary will continue more i'm
pressively than in words to utter her
sweet testimony to the kindness of
Jesus. O the heartlessness of silence
concerning the goodness of Christ!
The garment of praise is comely, by
whomsoever worn. Let it be the CON
slant adornment of our spirit that " in
everything we give thanks" How
the beauty of Mary's act is enhanced
by the motive which inspired it'll 1t
was prompted by love. Like Mary,
the sinner, who bathed Christ's feet
with tears and wiped them with the
hair of her head, this Mary loved
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1890-12-24

much Only love for Jesus could make
her shrinking spirit brave the murmur-
ing of the disciples. Only love could
nerve her to endure the prominence into
which her act thrust her. But love
made her brave without brazenry. Lit
tie she cared for the criticism of men if
only her act might be approved by him.
And it was, as every act OF love for
Jesus is welcome; for love alone gives
value to our deed, however great or
small, according to human estimate.
Shall not the work for Christ be beau
tiful and good? Let us do what we
can. Let us consecrate our individu-
atty, our substance, our all to him. Let
us give loving testimony to his good
ness, and let all our spirit be sweet as
ointment poured forth, because love in
spires us. Then, better thar that, our
deeds should be read throughout the
world, our acts will be known in heaven.
" She loved her Savior, and to him
Her costliest presents brought;
To crown his head, or grace his name
No gift too rare she thought.
" But give to Christ alone thy heart
Thy faith, thy love supreme:
Then for his sake thine aims impart,
And so give all to him"

tidn Advocate.
