The same Old Devil.

II is the irreligion that takes OF the
religious garb that is ever the most dan
gerous foe. The devil as an angel of
light is the most dangerous devil. To-
day he goes abroad clothed in the
habit of the philosopher. He wears the
star of science in his crown and the
medallions of literature and art upon his
breast. He looks WE'LL but he is the
same old devil. He has unctuous homi-
lies concerning the True, the Beautiful
and the Good, aud he PIRATES in dulc, t
tones about sweetness and light. He is
at home ON the platform or in the pulpit.
When he finds that men do not take
kindly TO his atheism, pure and simple,
he will admit OF a dim faith in an un-
movable God. But he is careful 10
caution men not to put any practical re-
lance in such fanciful being. Indeed,
the only being the philosophical devil
can think of as entitled to live eternally
is himself. --Christian at Work.

and without beauty. One picks il up
and draws the bows across the strings,
but il yields only wailing discords.
Then a master comes and takes il up,
and he brings from the little instrument
the most marvellous music. Other men
touch our lives and draw from them
only tangled notes; Christ takes them.
and when he has put the chords in tune
he brings from them the music of love
and JOY and peace. II is said that once
Mendelssohn came to see the great Fret
burg organ. The old custodian refused
him permission to play upon the instru-

THE FLYING MOMENTS.


The work of one child Of God differs
very materially from that of his neigh
Dor. Some he has sent forth as sewers;
some TO reap that which has been sown;
some are always walking on the way
to Emmaus with Jesus beside them,
even if they did not know it; others
are always pulling up weeds of dis
content, while the one beside him is
walking softly on the highway doing
loving, tender service to the little ones;
but there are many of Gods dearest
children who do their work by patient
suffering. One of the dear ones was for
the greater part of long lifetime con-
fined 10 a couch, often one of pain: but
the sweet patience of her endurance, the
face so full OF peace. so devoid Of fretful
lines, bore such unmistakable evidence
Of Gods mark on her forehead. that life.
the life of patient endurance preached
many a sermon 10 those who stood be-
side her. Her life had power in il,
and such power that every one felt it
to be the outcome of her having been
with Jesus.

therefore" Are temptations fewer now
