The Christians Hope.

1t is not strange that as the aged
Christian nears the end Of his pill
grimage he should quicken his
pace, and long for the end to come.
The friends of his youth-it
may be his wife and children-are
already in heaven. In that secure
place he has laid up all his treas
ures, and where his treasures are
there is his heart also. He hun
gers for one glimpse of his Lord,
for the full splendor of the beatifc
vision. Death has no terrors for
him. He is ready for the last
change, and prepared for his in
heritance. Blessed is the young
disciple, entering with holy ardor
and high courage, and yet with
painful lack of knowledge and ex-
perience, into the thick of the glori-
Gus warfarel More blessed still
is the venerable saint who has
fought a good fight, and only
awaits the summons of the Cap
tain of his salvation to leave the
field.-Nashville Christian Advo-
cate.

The Good Work.

We are happily familiar with
triumphs Of the Gospel in the
South Pacific, amongst the innu-
merable islands east and south
from Australia, and we begin now
to hear Of missionary successes IN
the North Pacific Islands, off the
coast Of British America. A little
south from Alaska, the river Skee-
ma in British Columbia runs into
the sea, amongst a group of islands
inhabited by Indian tribes. In
one of these islands, Laklan, the
Church Missionary Society has
been working for some years. AT
one time they were greatly per-
secuted by the people of the island.
Last November their chief
(Sheuksh) addressed all the adult
males of the population, and told
them that he had accepted the
Savior, and supplicated them to
give themselves to God. At the
conclusion of the speech, the entire
assembly bowed their heads in
silence, until one of the early con-
verts broke it in uttering words OF
supplication, and singing hymns.

Eternal Life.

So eternal life Is not the mys-
tical things we sometimes think.
The sun is a far-off mystery. The
astronomer cannot explain it, But
this morning it came to our door,
and has made plain for us all the
road Of this day. SO life is at our
door. 1t Will lot be essentially
different in heaven. HJw impor-
taut it is, therefore that we begin
90 live this life now, If we were
going through a door, We might
wait till death is in sight. But If
it IS getting into harmony with
God and developing a new set Of
faculties which will make Us feel
at home in heaven, then the sooner
we begin, the better.
We cannot get all the benefits of
heaven by just dying. There will
be some awful stupid living in
heaven. A sinner who Just slips
in at the eleventh hour is not
going to be very comfortable talk
ing to Paul. He will be like an
errand boy in a company of sages.
1t will be worth good deal to
have some acquaintance with
heaven before going there. The
only really sure way to have a
good time with the saints in heav-
en- is to be getting saint-like here.
Going to heaven will be good only
as it is going home. Not as a
studid voice being flung into its
splendor; but, like concert-play-
er, who has tuned his instrument,
and steps before the great audi
ence with confidence and hope, thus
TO find eternal life, not a novelty, |
but the crown of life on earth
this is the grandest conception of |
It, this Is the Biblical idea.-Cen-

Let Us Have Peace.

The struggle is over, the dccis-
ION has been made, and now let
peace and harmony prevail. II
was but family fight with many
. )f Us, and as members Of the same
household, each should so act as
not to bring odium or reproach
upon the head Of that house.
From motives pure and loyal,
many differed in their choice for
governor, and fought zealously to
make their candidate win. The
contest has been long, and much
bitterness has been engendered by
Che prOtracted struggle, but the
End has come, and by the commit
tee selected for the purpose, Eos
ter has been declared the nominee
of the Democratic party. Now all
ill-feeling and rancor should be
throttled and banished. There
should be no ill-natured twitting
indulged in by the successful fac
tion, nor should any sulking or
unmanly resentment be resorted
to by the McEnery followers.
1t is pleasure to succeed in a
laudable purpose, and a disap-
pointment 70 fail in that object
which one has labored assiduously
to obtain, but in matters as impor-
tant as Democratic supremacy, in
this State, individual feeling should
he set aside, and only the public
'yeal considered. In the present
condition of affairs, no one can af-
ford to countenance other than a
ready acquiescence in the decision
Of the committee. Consistency
justifie5 it, and the States interest
demands it. There is absolutely
nothing to be gained by bad
tempered protests; they only
arouse spirit Of resentment.
which causes the commonwealth.
more than the individual, to suffer.
Louisiana has never needed the
united support of '.er sons more
that she does right now. There
has never been a pei il when their
loyalty to her cause will be more
fully put to the test. As patriots,
we must hearken to our country's
call; as true sons Of an honorable
E-ogenitor, we must bury every
'othe- impulse but the desire to
protect "a parents rights, and keep
nnsull:ed a parents name. We
must not listen to the voice Of dis
turbers, no matter how plausible
their theories. We must remem-
Der that to follow their advice
means disloyalty to party manage
lnent, a disruption of the party it
self, betrayal of public interest.
The Democracy of Louisiana
has a great duty to perform, and
there must be no Sinking On the
part OF anyone. To prove recre-
ant now would be to desert her in
her hour of greatest peril. There
fore let a united Democracy move
forward in sold phalanx to the
polls on the 10Th inst. Let us for.
get that there has ever been a fac
bonal contest, that there was ever
any difference of opinion at all.
We should be of one mind, friendly |
and earnest in our support of the
old party.
