Whether this is true or not, the fact
that it is our duty sufficiently answers
this, as indeed it does every objection.
We have no right to make the real OF
supposed results of divine obligation
the criterion of our obedience. If the
way which we have presented is the
right way, it is our plain duty to follow
it, aUhdtcvcr he the consequences. The
objection, however, has not the sane
ton of either reason or revelation.
Obedience to the gospel must necessa-
rily lessen strife, and "turn away
wrath" He who controls his own
passions, acquires thereby mastery
over those of his adversary, and by his
very forbearance disarms the others
enmity, and recalls him to reflection.
He does indeed outwardly yield, in re-
framing from physical resistance, yet
he subdues him by moral power
which is far more effective than that
of the strongest arm, or the deadliest
weapon.
But it may be said, while this is in
general true, it is not always the case.
When assaled by one of violent tenn
per, will not our forbearance be abus-
ed? Are there not those who will
basely take advantage of it, and i'm
prove the opportunity thus afforded
them, by new injuries? 1t is the mis-
fortune Of the Christian world that
this has been so generally taken for
granted, that few have fairly tested the
question in their own experience.
Men have 50 believed their fears upon
this subject, that they have rarely CIV
ell themselves the opportunity to learn
whether those fears are just, or ground
less. Even the hest of Christians have
been slow to believe that He who COM
mands is able to protect his children
in their obedience. But is he not the
God of providence: How easy it
would be for him to avert the blow
that is aimed at q faithful disciple, to
wither the arm that is lifted against
him, and instantly to subdue the fero-
cious tiger to the disposition of the
lamb! We are accustomed, in regard
to other duties, to expect that God will
sustain and defend US in their dis
charge. 1t is q sad aOam of faith
which prevents US from thus relying
upon him in the fultilment of these.
When that faith shall be moro strong
ly cherished, it will be found to fulfil
our highest expectations; and it will
be seen that by the operation of natu-
ural laws, and the ordinary course of
divine Providence, the right way re-
suits only in good to those who prac-
tice it. This, the known character Of
God, and the very constitution Of his
moral government, lead us confidently
to believe.

A PRACTICAL RETIGIoN.-We want
religion that softens the step and
tunes the voice to melody and checks
the impatient exclamation and harsh
rebuke, religion that is polite, defer
ential to superiors, courteous to inferi.
ors and considerate to friends; re-
ligion that goes into the family and
keeps the husband from being cross
when the dinner is late, and keep the
wife from frctting when the husband
tracks the newly-washed floor with
his muddy boots, and makes the hus-
band mindful of the scraper and door
mat keeps the mother patient when
the baby is fre;ful, and amuscs the
children as well us instructs them /;
cares for the servants besides paying
them promptly projects the honey
moon into the harvest-nnon, aud
makes the happy home like the Eas-
tern fig-trca, bearing OH its bosom at
once the blossomed and the glory of
unripencd fruit. We want Il religion
that shall intcrpose between the ruts
and gullirs and rocks of the highway
of life and the sensitive souls that are
travelling over them.

Clerical Wit.

The following are few instances OF
clerical wit: In the reign of George
IT., the See of Yorkshire falling va
cant, and his Majesty being at loss
fol a fit person to appoint to the eXalt-
ed Office, he asked the opinion of the
Rev. DR.. Mountain, who had raised
himself by his remarkable facetious
humor from being the son of beggar
to the See of Durham. The doctor
wittily replied: "Hadst thou faith as
grain of mustard seed, then would
We say unto this Mountain lat the
same time laying his hand upon his
breast), BE removed, and be cast into
the sea (see).' " The king laughed
heartily, and forthwith conferred the
appointment on the facetious Doctor.
A second may follow of similar type:
The first time that Pitt went TO Cam
bridge after his election for the uni
versity, all the clerical host were, as it
might have been expected, gaping for
lawn sleevs and other good things in
the gift of their representative. A
witty Doctor preached before the
young Premier from the following
text, "There is a lad here which hath
five barley loaves and two small fishes;
but what are they among so many ?"
Here is a very clever repartee, with
q bearing in the same direction {:
Charles H., playing at tennis with a
dignitied prebend who had struck the
ball well exclaimed, "Not bad stroke
ror Dean" "I'll give it the stroke
of a Bishop" said the Dean, "if your
Majesty pleascs." Here is a repartee
equally good, though not directly
self-interested /: When Henry III.
proposed to send Bishop Bonner to
France in diplomatic capacity, the
king told him that he must speak to
the French monarch in a very lofty
tone, instructing him what he had to
say. "Please your Majesty said the
Bishop "if l should hold such haugh-
ty language, King Francis, in all prob
ability, would order my head to be
chopped off" "If he dared to do
such Il thing" cried Henry, ~ would
chop off the heads of 10000 French
men for it," Truly, your Majesty
objected Bonner but perhaps not
one Of those heads would fit my
shoulders. ."-iAe CHH1'cAWuU.

laborers in the Methodist Church, was

after, being again in America, he met
with Il young man, who asked him
if he remembered the circumstance, to
which the doctor replied, II remem-
ber it well and never shall | forget

showed me.n The young man then
told him, that a tract which he had

Lord, and been made the meals of

"Clcrical JestinS."

Such was the heading of an editori-
al in New York paper short time
ago. What followed was strong in
condemnation of the growing practice
among clcrgynlen of all denominations
OF being funny, appearing witty, and
creating laughter, even when dealing
with the most sacred things. The
point, we think, is well taken That
there is "a time to laugh"-a time to
joke, sport, umuse, and make merry
all will admit. But it is not when the
clergyman is in the house of God, or
when he is engaged, at any time or in
any place, in dealing with the solemn
truths of the gospel or the eternal in
terests of souls. 1t is said that when a
man can drive home an idea better by
little flash of wit than by an argrl-
ment, the former is preferable, even
though a laugh has been evoked. But
is there not more to be considered than
simply "driving things home?" What
about the solemnity of the occasion,
the spiritual impression to be made,
the divine Influence to he impaired to
immortal souls? How much has been
gained, though every thought of the
sermon has been "driven home," if the
spirit of the occasion has been secular
lied? One of the deplorable things of
our day is that 50 many go TO the sane
tuary for simple entertainment, and in
this entertainment they demand that
the preacher shall be funny. What
sincere Christian does not heplore this
state of things? But nothing fosters
it more than the growing tendency of
"clerical jesting" in the house of God.
AS long rs ministers aim ut making
their congregations laugh, or seek to
imnress holy things 10y jokes cracked
or flashes of wit, the secularisation of
the sanctuary must go forward and the
spiritual power of preaching must
grow less.-IHc Treasury.
I give literal Interpretation to
Christ's promise "When He, the Spir-
it of truth, is come, He shall guide
you into all truth for He shall re-
ceive Of mine, and shall show it unto
you" / believe that the Church un-
derstauds the nature of Christ better
than the first Apostolic churches un-
derstood it: and the method of His
redeeming love better than they eli
ther did or could. 1t would be
strange if, after being in Gods school
and seeing His work for eighteen cen
turieS, we had not learned something.
But this Apostolic history remains to
teach, us among other things, these
two lessons: First, that the Christian
religion is not an elaborate system eli.
ther of church government or church
doctrine, but faith in a divine Person :;
and, second, that where that faith is
warm, living. enthusiastic, there is
power, hough the theological knowl-
edge may be small. Alas how much
of subsequent history there is to teach
us the converse lesson, that where
there is no such warm, living, enthu-
astic faith in II Person there is no pow
er, no matter what nor how clear may
he the theological conception of His
character and work.

70 TELL THE WEATHER.-Benja-
min Franklin was the first to discover
that storms in this country travel from
west to east. He was interested in OBJ
serving an eclipse, and found that
while the observations were spoiled in
Philadelphia by rain-storm that came
on just at the beginning of the eclipse,
the sky was clear at Boston until the
eclipse was over. BY communicating
with intervening towns he learned
that the storm travelled eastward ut a
uniform rate. Simultaneous observa-
tions taken in all parts of the country
show that nearly all great storms fol-
low the same general direction-from
the west to the east. The same is true
of cold and hot waves. Therefore, to
tell what the weather will be, in ad-
vance, we have only to find out the
conditions prevailing west of us.
This is practically the course pursued
by the signal service. All attempts at
predicting the weather for months in
advance are mere guess work. Such
rs trying to foretell the
severity of a winter by the thickness
of the breastbone of goose, or the fur
of animals, originated in some obscure
quarter, and are not worth the circu-
lation and attention they receive.
