cHRIsT's MISSION.

Jesus Christ announced his mission
on earth in one concise sentence: II
am come that they might have life. .
This life was to be impaired to those
whom the Jews regarded as outcastS
Preaching to the despised, rejected
and down-trodden. We have become
accustomed to its repetition until we
think nothing of it; but place the
hands on the dial back lS00 years
and say, how would we like to be seen
side by side with man in the public
streets Who had openly announced
that his sole business on earth was 10
hold intercourse with bad hearts? Tie
worse the man the deeper the interes t
Christ took in him. Polite society
was shocked, and righteous society
horror-stricken. They who had Wit
messed His miracles and knew what
resources He carried about with him,
actually took up stones at one time &c
stone Him. 1t was madder than al
tempting to stone the lightning.
When they stopped to pick up stones
He might have fastened them In that
position as warming to scofiers oi
succeeding generations; but this
would Sot have been IN harmony Wit
.he spirit ef His mission Only once
If we except the destruction of the
swine, did Christ's power operate III
the line of destruction. The wither
ing, blighting curse fell upon the fie
tree, and to the very roots it withereC
away. 1t was well, perhaps, to leave
one such example OF His power tc
show how short a step lay between
/ life and death.

The last thing that earnest ia
qaIrogs caro- about is written, ior
NAL, ,loginaic creed. The heart can
never write all that it believes. What
wonder then if, when 4 living and
glowing love comes TO read the tabu-
lated doctrines of the church, Il
should complain, hesitate or rebelg
Ii has often been asserted that.Christ
did not set down in sequential order
what is known in these modern days
as system Of divinity. The asser-
ton is not only true as n matter OF
fact, but true rs an evidence of his
Godhead. The divine, the immeas-
arable, the eternal cannot be formu-
lated. Lie cannot be systematized.
Architecture may, so may astronomy,
botany, aud all other arts and sciences,
But lie is not science; the soul is
not an art. Language itself, rs par
taking OF the nature of system, is
often felt to be an inconvenience,
useful for expressing what is upper
most, but nearly powerless IN the ar
ticulation OF what Is deepest in the
soul Wisely, therefore, Christ wrote
nothing, for written language is more
difficult of Interpretation than spoken
language. The eve, the tone, the
smile, help words that are spoken
which is but another way OF saying
that life is the only true interpreter
The moment that the grammar and
lexicon are called IN, strife begins
A tone would do more than all syntax
to give the meaning of some words.
Speak, that may see you," said Di
ogones. The spoken word is life,
the written word is statuary To
have come, therefore. with written
creed in quest of signatures would
have been a vain errand The world
has differed more over the interpreta
ton Of its own writing than over any
thing else-so much so that the In
depreciation of writing has become a
profession, in which the most direct
contradictions are maintained at the
cost OF considerable indebtedness.
The world is now waiting for a voice
crying in the wilderness that men are
to be saved not by theology but by
Christ. Men must behold the Lamb,
not the controversies which have
ragged about Him, and accept Chris;'s
own living and mighty way of talking
to aching, craving hearts.

n1nLE CONTRADICTORY.

No doubt the Bible does contain con
tradictions more or less real So does
the book Of nature. The desert con-
tradicts the garden, the storm con-
iradiets the calm; summer and
plant grows poison, another Is
is impregnated with healing juices
the savage beast and the creature q
gentle blood face each other in tie
contradictory book OF nature. The
world is full of contradictions, and an
intolerably insipid world it would be
but for its anomalies. Every man Is
his own contradiction In ten yeaI :,
a growing man will throw off many
tastes, companionships and habits,
which to-day are pleasant to him.
There IS nothing without an element
OF contradiction but death, and death
itself Is the great contradiction Q.
God. Human maxims and policies
are continually at strife. Out OF eon-
tradiction comes education. But
what IS contradiction? Not living
necessarily. Contradiction may silnp
ly mean incompleteness, or may arise
from ellipsis. Two gases may mutually
antagonize, yet may be held together
by a third. Two sta. .ements may be
discrepant until missing link is sup
piled. One book may be many books
as the New Testiment is literally
It's chapters may be addressed to dif-
ferent men, or 10 the same men un-
der different circumstances. These
facts are not to be lightly set aside il
estimating the value OF a book. weigh
ed against which the tones OF pbilos-
ophy and the literature OF four CONT
nents kick the beam.

LACK or PRECISION.


The manufacturer III ordinary
timcs oan tel Us with good-deal
,of certainty how muck work he
can turn out in given month, and
@vilat his profits will be. The
Farmer, whose crops are dependent
Ia q greater or less degree upon con-
tingencics of wet, or rain, or cold,
aver which he has no control, is
less positive; and as 4 consequence,
he grows into Il loose habit Of
thought In all that regards his
affairs. Notwithstanding his pune
tiliousness in moneyed details;
md his sharpness at a bargain, he
has a more vague idea of his real
whereabouts in the world of profit
and loss, than any man of equal
capital that YOU can find. If he
has 4 little pile III stocking legs or
in savings that grows, it is profit; if
he has a little debt ut the grocer's
or the bank that grows, it is loss.
There Is not one in fifty who can
tell with anything approaching to
accuracy, how much his grain or
roots cost him per bnshel; not one
in fifty who can show anything
like a passable balance sheet of a
years transaction. He may put
down all the money he receives in
stunpy figures and all the money
he pays out in other stumpy
sigures, and set his oldest boy to
the Christmas reckoning. But his
rent, his personal labor, the wear
and tear, the waste, the consump-
ton, the unmarketed growth, as
sumes only a hazv indeterminate
outline, within which the sum of
the stu1npy figures is lost. Whether
he IS raising wheat at a price
higher than the market one, or
selling potatoes for a third less
than they cost hi IN, is an in
7quify he never submits to the
fatigue and precision of accurate
Investigation. lie thinks matters
are about 50 and 50; his horses are
worth about 50 much; his wheat
Yields about thirty bushels to the
acre; his barn or cellar costs him
nothing, for lie did the work him
self ut odd moments, and that crop
'sf roots which Is growingon newly
cleared land cost almost nothing
ssecause ihe work Was done in spare
moments, in short, it is intimated
That all IS done at little expense.
This IS absurd; great work involves
great labor; and great labor has its
price. We must estimate the
labor at its market value-whether
done IN the night or on holidays.
What viii not pay for doing in
even hours, viii never pay for
doing IN odd hours. 1t is no
excuse for waste OF time and
to waste them in tie dark.
Fery spade or hammer stroke
aIgea the farn-no matter whether
@lone by the farmer or the farmers
son, or formers wife-no matter
whether done after hours or before
hours-must be estimated at the
same that such labor weuld COM
mand In the market.

ODD MonENT rs,

When we reflect that the average
Of human life is about thirty-three
years, that theiGfant isnaore helpless
and longer helpless than any mere
animal; that one-third of our al
lotted time is spent in sleep, thus
shortening our active, business
life to mere span, it does indeed,
seem strange that one should fritter
away his endowment which cost
him nothing. and which if wisely
invested viii yield a handsome
profit. But so it is. Why this
lavish expenditure of life, upon
which everything else so entirely
depends? Without stopping to
naoraiize upon this subject (for it
obviously has its moral bearings)
we shall address ourselves to the
subject al thehead of this article
odd moments. The reader has seen
Young men who let slip daily, eight
hours Of precious time, and this Is

S~5s1Bg nai1, take your pencil and a
scrap of blank paper and sec what
you have lost. You have lost 37,-
800 hours; time enough surely il
applied in the pursuit of knowl-
edge to have given you a diploma

or German University. Bind these
