The Last Trumn.

A connection of mine for whom /
have an Acknowledgment, a clergy
man, though once an officer in the
army, and who lives in constant exs
pectation of "the Lords coming"
was telling me one morning at break
fast of the wreck off the coast of his
parish, OF a small vesssl which he
considered had been purposely run
on some rocks for the sake of the in
surance money. He gave his rea-
sons for this beliefin a manly, shrewd.
and businesslike way, and told me
how ne had refused to sign a recon-
mendation which the owners of the
smack wished to accompany their
application to the insurance com
pany for compensation. He pointed
out that there had been no fog the
night of the wreck, although the
crew had once or twice sounded a fog
horn This sound he said he had not
himself heard, but his wife had done

tatiyely, but with perfect simplicity,
"ofcourse | should have thoughtit

asked, naturally not catching his
meaning. "The trump" he repeat
ed, with an expression of sad sur
prise at my obtuseness.
This time, thanks to his omission
of the 'tet' ordinarily concluding the
name of the instrument, did under
stand him. "But surely" / said,

erudite person to whom we have re-
ferred assures us that persons born
during this period possess remark

Babies 'can rarely give reasons for

not uncommon with babies; but the

Are conrrega.Lonallsts Dying cute

The statistics of Congregational
families, just published, would seem
to indicate that the Puritan stock is
slowly dying out. The births are
fewer than the deaths. The births
are, presumably, measured with toler-
able correctness by the number of
baptisms, and, out of S25, 600 families
reported, the baptisms of infants
among last year were less than 5000.
This would give one baptized child to
about thirty-six families, and, unless
infant baptism has been very gener-
ally dropped among the Congregation
alists, it would indicate that the Con-
gregational families are contented with
birth rate that is nearly as low as
the lowest rate in Europe. France
shows twenty-fivetot the thousand; Eng
land reaches nearly thirty-four,
Prussia and Italy thirty-six, and Hun
gary goes beyond forty-three, while
the New England Congregationalists
record only twenty-seven.

The Prescription.

A mixed company were gathered in
the little chapel. They had come to-
gether from many quarters; there
were old and young, rich and poor.
Differing in many respects, they were
alike in one: all were sick; some sick
in body. some sick in mind. some sick
at heart. So they all needed healing,
and therefore they were gathered.
And, moreover, they all needed to be
comforted OF God. The lesson for the
evening was the Thirty-seventh Psalm.
One and another commented upon it.
Then the chaplain rose. and his words
were something like these:
Dear friends, here, in seven verses,
is a prescription for each one. Fill
it, take it, and life will no more be to
you the grievous way it is now.
There are six ingredients: Fret not, ;
Trust, Delight thyself, Commit
thy way. Rest, and Wait patiently.
Then, as If a double dose was needed,
Fret not, is repeated at the end,
Try this prescription of the Great
Physician, and see how it will raise
tho spirits while it quiets the heart. y
Only these few words, and the
chaplain sat down; but the clearing
brow, the uplifted look, showed that
into some hearts the words had
dropped, and the remedy was even
then beginning its work.

This old question is just as suggest
i've now as ever. We forget what our
lives are. We live as though we were
never to die. We sow-we-reap-w
build-we count up our golden treas
ures and then struggle on as if this
earthly life was eternal. We do not
think that death is near. We always
hold it far of until its dark shadow
falls upon us,-then we see at last
how frail we are and how utterly
powerless to cope with our foe. At
last we see that our life is really a
''vapor that appeareth for little time
and then vanishes away" Strange
that we did not think of it before. for
we live and move among the dead and
dying. We see the life curtain drop
over many friend and we bear him
away to rest in the lonely silence oil
the grave and then rush along in our
old way and forget that we too must
be hidden by the falling curtain, The
great drama of human life is, after all.
only a scene of a moment. We only
catch a brief view-hardly long
enough to take in the full scene and
then it changes to the whIteness o.
death. The living, moving pano
rama is transformed into the pale
statuary that stands in eternal silence
This is life as we see it here. II
the future world true life will onll
begin. Life there will be blessed
treasure-a gem of untold worth, /;
state OF existence that is worth more
than all the glitteripg gold of thi4
rich world. For what is your life
