What Others Say.

Working people in France are now
entitled to rest one day in seven. By
legislative enactment the Government
has bestowed on its citizens this boon,
which is the right of those who labor
everywhere. The Legislature declin-
ed to designate the Christian Sabbath
as the legally appointed rest-day; but
as some + articular day will necessari-
ly be adopted by common consent, it
will probably be the first day of the
week. Some of the nations of Europe
have long tried the experiment of ig-
noring the divinely established law of
a seventh days rest, and have found
the results unsatisfactory. Gradually
but surely steps are Icing taken to-
ward restoring the Sabbath to it's
place among the national institutions
of government on the Continent.
What folly it would be for us to rush
into the same error which is now be-
ing abandoned by other countries af-
ter sufficient trial. Yet this is the ten
dency in America. No nation can de-
fy or ignore the law of God and es-
cape disastrous results. "God is not
mocked."

DIR. TALMAGE ON PREACHeRs.-I
thank God that from the theological
seminaries there is now coming forth a
magnificent crop of young ministers,
who are taking the pulpits in all parts
of the land. I hail their coming and
tell these young brothers to shake off
the somnolence of centuries and get
out from under the dusty shelves of
theological discussions which have no
practical bearing on this age, which
needs to get rid of lis sins and have its
sorrows comforted. Many of our pull
pits are dying of humdrum. People
do not 60 to church because they can
not endure the technicalities and pro-
found explanations of nothing, and
sermons about the "eternal generation
of the Son." and the difference be-
tween sublapsarianism and supra-lap-
sarianism, and about who Melchise-
deck wasn't. There ought to be as
much difference between the modes of
presenting truth now and In olden
time as between lightning express
railroad train and canal boat.

A SAFEGUARD AGAINST ERROR
"Surely the apostles admonition to
the Galatians is now applicable to us
as a Church and nation. Stand fast
therefore in the liberty wherewith
Christ hath made us free, and be not
entang!ed again with the yoke of bon
dage,' Gal. v: /. What, then, is our
best remedy?. 1t it the cultivation of
personal religion in our own hearts,
and the seeking to be established in
Bible truth and Bible Christianity,
q I'd to walk in the faith of Christ, the
fear of God, and the comfort Of the
Holy Ghost. This, and this only, is a
safeguard against Romish errors. BY
this, we read in Act tx: 81, the
churches of old were edited and mul-
tiplied. May God give US grace to
cultivate this state of heart and mind,
and to watch and to pray that We may
be kept from all evil, and, being de-
livered from the various errors of the
day, may be preserved safely unto the
day of redemption!'

Nashville Christian Advocate.

The choir ought simply to lead the
worship of the congregation, and aid
them in the lofty and editying service
of praise. No other object should be
tolerated in the chief singers. TO do
this, their musical talent and skill
should be directed to the using of the
simplest tunes and the most familiar
hymns. The old ones should be often
used, and the new ones used till they
become old. The choir, as the leader
of the congregation, and as the reposi-
tory of a few of the grand old tunes
and hymns, to be Joined in by the
whole congregation, is an institution
of much benefit; otherwise considered,
1t is travesty on worship and an i'm
pertinence and an offense to the occa-
sion.

We live in an age of self-im portance,
sustained and promoted by methods
unknown to the simple minds Of our
ancestors. The interviews and the re-
corder of social gossip have artfully
created q daily want which they them.
selves supply. If A., the millionaire,
adds an acre to his estate, we ascertain
The price paid for it almost as soon Us
he does. We could pass creditable
examination upon the habits of H., the
essayist, during working hours; We
are thrice familiar with the arrange
ment of his furniture, and have even
learned what pens he uses. The harm
in dwelling upon these things is not
at first apparent, since we burn to
know them. This weakness of mind
induces the belief that our friends are
eager for similar details about oursely-
es, and as natural consequence, when
it is our cue to talk the personal nOmi-
native does not lack advancement.
Egotism spoken and written, is the
fashion as well as the falling of our
waning day.-From "The point of
View" in November Scri6ner.

Sleep.

While children sleep, .. -
They know not that their father tolls;
They know not that their mother prays-
lending In blessing o'er their beds.
Imploriug grace for after days.
While children sleep, -.
They never dream that Others WORK
That they may have their daily breadT
When morning comes they rise and eat,.
And never ask how they are fed.
While children sleep,
They do not see the shining sun:
They do not know the gracious dew,
In daily miracle OF love, .f
Is ever making all things new.
Do we not sleep7
And know not that our Father WORKS
With watchful care about our way7
He bends in blessing from above
His love broods DER us day by day.
Do we not sleep?
And never dream that others work,
Reapipg the sr caves that might be ours;
We see not how the shadows fall
Which mark the swift departing hours.
Alb, still we sleep!
Our drowsy eyes zee not the light,
See not the hands stretched out to bless,
See not that waiting for us stands
Gods kingdom and His Righteousness.

IF there are Two ways of getting the
same mental impression, the moral ef-
feet upon the conduct will depend very
much upon the way in which the i'm
preston came. A child who Is belng
taught and trained in the gfaces OF
charitable giving has O right to know
that, in the highest sense, giving does
not impoverish him. But he may be
IMPOVERISHED in substance while be is
enriched in spirit by one way of Civ.
ing; as he may also be not impover-
js6ed in substance while he Is lmpov-
erished in spirit by another way OF
giving. The mother who is desirous
of clearing out toy closet may bring
a lot of broken toys and fragments of
playthings to her boy, and say pathet-
ically, "Wouldn't you like to give
some of these things away to those
door little children l told you of yes
terday? See! they are all broken up,
and YOU can't do anything with
them j., IL is true the poor children
would quite relish the headless horses
and broken carts. Children can make
more out of little than grown persons
can. Bnt how that last sentence of
the conscientious mother blasts the
blossomipg good in her first question
TO refer to the worthlessness of the
child's property as an argument for
giving it away, would indeed teach
him that the giving would not impov-
ering him, in substance-just what he
needs not to be taught; while it would
also fail to teach him the giving that
is gaining, by failing to educate him
to a knowledge of the value of things
of spirit above things Of sense. Teach
the children to give, but be careful
which motive is educated in the same

The Men Needed.

Mr.. Spurgeon, in his Almanac, says:
1--WE need, nowadays, upright men
in downright earnest, who say what
they mean, and mean what they say.
Cheating in trade, cheating in religion,
cheating in talk, must not be put up
with any longer. Old Father Honesty
Is the man for our money. None OF
your painting and gliding; gives US
the real thing. There would be a
great fall in sheepskins If all the
wolves were stripped; but stripped
they ought to be, the rascals! Let
each one or us begin to mend the world
by putting off every bit of shame that
we may have had about US. Off with
the trumpery and f1nery Of pretense.
Show smock-frock orsthe fustian jack
ct, and the clump boots, and don't be
ashamed.n

Would that the generality of profes-
sing Christians could be led to turn
their attention more directly to practi-
cal developments of their faith, and
less to mere sentiment and ism" 1t
is striking statement, once made by
Jonathan Edwards: "If Gods peo-
pie were only brought to abound in
deeds of love, as much as in praying,
hearing, singing, religious meetings,
and conferences, it would be blessed
omen."' Assuredly it would; but the
question arises, how is it that so many
can enter into the privileges Of the
Gospel with so much apparent zest,
and vet not abound in the faithful dis
charge of its duties? If the heart is
truly full of the spirit of prayer,
praise, and Christian Fellowship. must
not the life be full Of the fruits of love
and sacrifice ?--The Christian.

He knoweth the truth, who doeth
the Masters will.
The trusting Christians security is
equal to Gods capability of defense.
- live what you have. To some one
it may be better than you dare think.
II Some of His children must so into
the furnace to testify that the Son of
God is there with them.
You can't promote a Christian. The
highest station in this life is to be a
soldier in Gods army.
Withou. seeking, truth cannot be
known at all and by seeking, it may
be discovered by the simplest.
Every soul should have its own ho-
ly-of-holies. The truths of Christ are
worth keeping. and the way to keep
them is to ponder them.
SIT is harder than he who has never
made the effort might imagine, silent
" to return with love the hatred with
which our love has been requited."
Cultivate a gentle, even temper.
The man who flies into passion upon
every provocation, is like wasp,
seuseless and exceedingly annoying.
Let the preacher never forget that
he who has power with God also has
power with men. That is, successful
preaching is measured by power with
God.
I look forward to the time when the
impulse to help our fellows shall be as
|. immediate and as irresistible as that
which l feel to grasp something when
am falling.
The true strength of every human
soul is to be dependent on as many no.
bier as it can discern, and to be de-
pended upon by as many inferior as it
can reach.
Nothing makes men angrier than
. the truth when it comes to them as
evil-doers. It is less trying to be lied
about, than to have the truth that cuts
home to us.
pVWhat can be more horrible, what
can be more sinful among mankind
than war, and especially when volun-
tary engaged in by those men who
profess to love each other as Christ has
loved them, even with a plying love
, that suffered unto death.
Forenoon and afternoon and night,-Fore-

This afternoon a psalm, this night prayer,
And time is conquered, and thy crown is won
Gods promises are dated, but with a
mysterious character; and for want OF
skill in Gods chronology, we are
prone to think God forgets us, when,
indeed, we forget ourselves in being so
bold to set God time of our own, and
in being angry that he comes not just
then to US.
Every temptation that is resisted,
every noble aspiration that is encour-
aged, every sinful thought that is re-
pressed, every bitter word that is with
held, adds it's little item to the impetus
of that great movement which is bear
ing humanity onward toward richer
life and higher character.
Be not anxious about tomorrow
Do to-day's only; fight to-day's temp.

things you cannot see, and could not
understand if you saw them. Enough
for you that God is just and merciful
and will reward every man according
to his work.

MORE AIR, Mr.. SEXToN.-ODe OF
the secrets of Mr.. Moody's great sue
cess in conducting meetings is his
practical good sense in caring for the
necessary and healthful condition Of
the body. Any one and every one
who is at all acquainted with his
mode of work must have realized this
fact. An abundance of fresh air is al
ways provided, if possible (and he
makes and will leave it sol, first of
all; then there is change of position
and variety in the exercises that Is a
constant and refreshing change, thus
affordIng rest in the midst of the ex-
ercises, that continues and maintains
the interest throughout. We have
sometimes thought this lack OF neces'
sary provision for fresh air for audi
ences in churches-especially at eve
ming services-is the principal reason
for the small attendance on their SER
vices. Churches that have been heat
ed for morning service and closed un-
til evening, without ventilation. to re-
tain the heat, are then opened for the
evening, and closed again as the audi
ence are gathered and seated. The
close heat, with the gas, united with
the exhalations unconsciously but
surely emitted, soon render the at
mosphere of the place most noxious
compound, dangerous for any one to
inhale, and enervating in the extreme
to any nervous or delicate organiza-
ton, and dangerous for all. A Paul or
Apollos couldn't long withstand such
an influence, and the audience are all
hoping it will soon be over. Florence
Nightingale, out of her vast expert
ence, said if she were to prescribe one
remedy for all ailments, it would be
all abundance of fresh air at any and
all seasons of the year; indeed, that
was all that some ailments required.
Christianity should not be denied this
most beneficent provision of its Au-
thor for all mankind.
JUST A WoRD.-If religion has not

we'll ask: "Have been converted ?'
DR.. Clarke used to say, that if mans
religion didn't reach his pocket, it
hadn't reached his heart. We like
the spirit of Baptist brother, who,
when about to be baptized, was told. t"
take out his pocket book for fear it
would get wet in the act of INNER
sion. NO" said he, "I want my
money baptized too" There are
thousands who professedly have con-
secrated their souls to God, but have
never consecrated their property to
God. They sing every Sunday:
"Here's my heart, o take and seal 1t!
Seal 1t for thy courts above"
But never think Of saying, Here's
my money, o take and use it for the
advancement of thy kingdom" They
don't seem to mind giving their heart
to the Lord, but when it comes to Civ
ing a little money to missions, then
the work of teeth-pullipg begins. Let
us all pray the Lord to have mercy on
such stingy souls.
