COMMENTS.
Christ's Idea of True Manhood
Matt. 2O:2G, 2S). The world takes
a little money, a little knowledge, aa
little aifability, a little daring, and,
stringing them together upon q
thread Of supreme scIfshness, cries
out. "This is manhood" The
world takes a little beauty, a little
art, little Frcnchiness of manner,
or quite lately a strongly Anglicized
accent, and Il large wardrobe, and
says, "This is womanhood. God
says, LET not the wise man glory
in his wisdom, let not the rich man
glory in his riches but let him that
glorieth glory in me. p" "Favor is
deceitful and beauty is vain, but a
woman that feareth the Lord, she
shall be praised The world puts
a crown Of jewels on an empty head
and purple robes on insignificant
shoulders, and shouts, Long live
the king" !" Christ says, "He that
is greatest among you shall be your
servant. " He, then, is most sover-
eign in character who has learned
best how to serve his fellows. Need
we wonder that the most wonderful
parsonage who ever visited this earth,
so wonderful that we can only des-
cribe him by calling him the God
man, should also have come as the
King-servant? His goodness, was
his greatness, and can greatness add
anything to goodness ? His humil-
ity became his eXaltation. Had be
not stopped to the conditions Of man
and the shame Of the cross, he could
never have claimed the title, "King
of kings" He came to save through
serving. If We would reach the
standard Of his manhood, we must
catch the purity of his spirit. What
can be more regal than mini. tering
love? 1t was grander thing for
Jesus to have come in misunder-
stood humility, to have suffered the
limitations of time, to have been
the victim of ignominy, persecution
and death, and by this self-sacrifce
to have lifted up fallen humanity,
than to have ridden down the sky
in chariot of whirlwind, unhorsed
Satan, and established thus his
kingdom forever. lie ministered
unto sinful man and sent him forth
purified to minister unto others of
his race in the fond consciousness
that he would thus be ministering
unto his Lord. d.-Rev. W. Ii. G.. Tenn

ILLUSTRATIVE SELECTIONS.

A true servant seeks the welfare
of his master. not his own aggran-
dizement. The clerk who gains
the favor of his employers custo-
mers for for the purpose Of setting
up a rival business is dishonest. 1t
is Gods glory, not his own, that is
to be the aim of the faithful SER

A ministry that looks toward re-
ciprocal attention is shorn of IT'S

friends feel their obligation for your
kindness, you are collecting double
pay. God rewards you.

The Part THAT the Masters OF
Ceremony Play In Japan.
Whenever a festival came to pass the
arrangements fell into the hands of a
special class of the community called
wakaishi These were in fact the
bachelors Of the community. They
formed a sort Of society OF guild, and
no one could be admitted without
proper Endorsement and a vote of ac-
ceptance They were rather a wild
set; they could not be called indus
trious, and the wineshop was the ia
vorite rendezvous of these pleasure low
ing youths.
A merchant who had an eye to his
sons future would seldom consent to
his joining the band; and it was thus
more numerous where artisans. whose
sons had greater liberty. were more
plentiful But Japan is a marrying
country very few men. and still fewer
women continue long minated; and
10 cho contained more than fifteen or
twenty wakaishi There we're two or
three classes, one class was well of,
and was expected to spend money hand
somely; the Others possessed less and
were called on for less. It was into the
hands Of this gay company that the ar
rangemeuts for merry making were al
ways placed The occupation was a
congenial one, and this disposition Of it
came about naturally enough.
There was one part Of the duties,
however. which was not very pleasant
was in fact, according to japanese
ideas, even a little debasing. This was
the soliciting OF contributions for festi-
val expenses. The wakaishi played the
disagreeable part in old japanese life
that the book agent and campaign
fund collector play with us. As a
festival approached the wakaishi went
to the sahai-nin and the house owners,
and received general directions about
the mode of celebration. Then a num-
Der went the rounds to collect sub
scriptions. Everybody knew how much
his neighbor waS worth. and each was
asked to give a certain sum-, according
to his means. j. II. Wigmore in Serb

A Sorrow of DIR. chapin's Last Days.

A Sorrow OF DIR. Chapin's Last Days.
A prominent clergyman speaking of
the relations existing between clergy
men, told me the following astonishing
anecdote. He said that no clergyman
who has ever been pastor of a New
York church was more popular, in his
day nor famous, or had a wider repute
as a pulpit orator and public speaker
than DIR. Edwin Chaplin. Chaplin was
a Universalist, and Horace Greeley was
one of his parishioners.
DIR. ChapIn was smitten with a NOR.
tal disease, and it was publicly an
nounced in the newspapers. He had
ZONE heart trouble, which did not pre-
vent friends from seeing him. but it
was known it would end his life in a
brief time. He had been sick for some
Eve weeks, when m day the Rev. DIR.
Arnitage called. He was shown into
Chapin's room and found the distin-
guished clergyman lying upon a sofa
When he saw Armitage he burst into
tears and DIR. Armitage was surprised.
Chaplin said Doctor. ! can't help
these tears, but they express gladness
rather than sorrow. Do you know that
you are the first clergyman Of all those
who have professed friendship for me
who has called to see me or even sent a
message of sympathy to me in my i'll
ness. Not a single clergyman has been
20 considerate, and | tell you it has
been a bitter sorrow 10 me at this
time"
Two days later this great orator was
dead, and the only religious ministra-
ton or sympathetic call he had during
his final illness was that Of this Baptist
clergyman.-New York Cor. Philadel
