Things Unlike A Christian.

Christian Inquirer.
1t is not like a Christian to come
iutO church on the Lord's-day, after
the worship has commenced, and sit
down as if you had nothing to re
ashamed of. LA 4a0
1t is not like a Christian to stare
about during the service, and to be
busted pulling on your gloves and
arranging your dress whilst the last
acts of worship are being offered.
1t is not like a Christian to wander
from your own Church and to choose
to meet with a strange congregation,
when the members of your own
Church are assembled for worship.
1t is not like a Christian to absent
yourself from the prayer-meeting,
when a little sacrifice would enable
you to attend.
1t is not like a Christian to take
only two sittings in a pew because
you only occupy two, when you can
afford to pay for four.
1t is not like a Christian to SUBJ
scribe only one dollar for missions
when you can afford to subscribe ten.
1t is not like a Christian to gauge
the amount of contributions by whaI
others give, and to overlook the rule
which requires is to give as Goo
hath prospered us.
1t is very unlike a Christian to alb
sent yourself from Church when &
special collection is to be taken.
1t is very unlike a Christian to &c
out of your church when the Lords
Supper is to be observed.
1t is not like a Christian to leave
others to teach the young, and visi
and instruct the ignorant adults
when you have an opportunity il
the good work.
1t is not like a Christian to Civ;
labor and substance to outside socie
ties when your own Church stands il
need of help.
Is is not like a Christian to deem
any thing unimportant which Chris
has commanded, or to treat with in
difference matters relating to Churcl
government because they are essen
tial to salvation.
1t is not like a christian to be
. selfseeker, or to overlook the rul
that whether we eat or drink, o
, whatsoever we do, we are to do al
| for the glory of God.

Christ an Love.

80
Herald and Presbyter.
Love is the law of the kingdom of
heaven; selfishness is the law of the
natural heart. The Christian is to
love God with all his heart and soul
and strength and mind to love the
bretheren, to love his neighbor as
himself, and even to love his ene-
mics. In loving, as in all else, Christ
is our example. AS he, in this re-
gard, was the express image of his
Father, so the Christian is to initiate
him and grow into his likeness.
''God so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten Son." Christ so
loved the world that he gave him.
self. "Beloved, if God so loved us,
we ought also to love n another"
There is emphasis on the word
s.ought," and yet the obligation is
not burdensome. In Christ we are
new creatures. Regeneration is the
beginning Of a new life. The do
minion of selfishness, the law of sin
and death, is broken. A new princi.
pie predominates. 1--WE know that
we have passed from death unto live,
because we love the bretheren."
Love, in the high scriptural sense,
has no place in the unregenerate,
There are natural affections which re-
semble it. Parents and children
husbands and wives, brothers and
sisters and friends, love each other
but love like hat of Christ rise'
above all these. 1t knows no ties o
kindred or personal interest. Il
looks not on its own things, but or
the things of others. 1t sees tn,
world as God sees it, and as Chris
saw it when he left his glory anC
came to save it. Its chief purpose il
not self-advancement, nor even per
sonal salvation, but the glory of Coz
and the good of man. 1t is the high
est philanthropy. As Christian

The Great Work.
Faith and Work

Faith and Work.
Above all, read and study the great
Author. Do you remember Sir Wal
ter Scott's dying words to his son-in>
law, Lockhart? "Bring the book"
-"What book?"-'Need you ask?
There is but one" Such was the
testimony of one, whose books have
entranced thousands, whose charm
will last while literature endures.
l conclude, dear girls, with this
thought of the foremost of novelists
-"There is but one book" that en-
bodies all wisdom, love and truth.
Other books are good or bad as they
approach or fall away from its stand
ard. Seek, then, "the sincere milk
of the word" that your souls may
grow beautiful as your bodies. How
many of you will make a beginning
by taking "a verse a day." feeding
on it through the passing moments
and storing it in the treasure house
of memory? And so, in after years,
when bonny brown hairs are faded,
and the golden are gray, and "desire
fails" and the good things of life''
have been tasted and refused to salts
fy, Gods own word shall still prove
"sweeter than honey" and his prom
ises, shining through the dark, shall,
starlike, point to the eternal shore.

Consistency

The Witness.
We are often puzzled and startled
by the conduct of those in whose pie
ty we thought we might place I'M
doubling confidence, and whom we
should have pointed out as Christian
examples to others. Upon some oc-
casions they exhibit such appearance
of conformity to the world as would
lead us to suppose they belonged to
it. ~ Erir .nl ..r#F
How desirable, therefore, that we
should deal faithfully with ourselves,
and see that Christian principles per-
wade our whole lives. Let us re-
member whatever units us for
religious duties whatever cools the
fervor of our devotions; whatever
indisposes us TO read our Bible or to
engage in prayer; whatever we
could not engage in with Il perfectly
clear conscience, wherever the
thought of a suffering Saviour or .
holy God, of the hour of death, or OF
the day of judgement, falls like a
cold shadow on our enjoyment the
pleasure which we cannot thank God
for, and on which we cannot ask his
hlessing-are not for us,
Let us never go wh,aa' we cannot

ask God to go with us. Let us never
be found where we cannot act as
Christ would have u.s.. Let us pass
each day as pilgrims consciously on
the way to their heavenly inheri-
tance. Let us press after closer com
munion with Jesus. Let the love of
God reign in our hearts, and thus
shall we be kept from a thousand
snares, and become possessed of a
peace and joy to which the world is
a stranger. ttCC N

When they reached the side of the room
