We have received from Lieutenant

who saw the attack on the Malakoff, the
following interesting letter: II see by

France as to the time and place when
Marshal MacMahon made use Of the ex

Malakoff, which MacMahon led in per-
son. He was then general. When he
had expelled the Russians, he received
an order from his chief, who, believe,
was then General Pelissier, to withdraw
his men from the Malakoff, as it was be-
lieved to be mined. 1t was at this crit
ical time he made use of the expression,
'J'y suis, j'y reste.'
HE Immediately formed his men into
a se,nicircle and set about cutting

One does not look to prelate for frank
fun, but the bishop of Wakefield, I'M
asked, has vouchsafed some genuine hui
NOR on the subject of preaching. He
has clearly made study of the art, and
he divides the modern sermon in seven
species. Thus we have:
"The sesquipedalian--big words hid.
ing little thoughts.
1.-THE wishywashy-no explanation re-
quired.
"The Notwithstanding with bril-
liant metaphors and illustrations and
finishing with faint odor of gunpowder
1.-THE notwithstanding with stories
some of them good enough once, bat
gone bad by keeping.
1.-THE fiowery-in which rhyme is of
more importance than reason.
1.-The mellifluous-withc calm, unbrok-
en- flow.
"The paregoric-against which the
powers Of wakefulness fail; like roll of
ribbon, so much alike at all points tina,
yard can be cut off anywhere"
Who does not know each and all of
these? This is form of pastoral which
congregations as a rule will not disap
prove.
In connection with this severe episco
pal utterance there is a story on the other
side going the ecclesiastical round. A
clergyman prepared to preach two Sun
days since and gave out as his text, 1.-THE
devil, like roaring lion, goeth about
seeking whom he may devour." In the
same breath, before beginning his dis
course, he continued, my friends, you
will probably have heard that the bishop
Of Manchester has announced his inten-
ton of visiting every church in his do
cese, and consequently we may very
shortly expect to see him among U.S.
Black and White.

was not answered. l think the two ''ifs"
In the prayer defeated 1t. and one 'if' is
enough to defeat any prayer, whatever
other good characteristics it may have.
"If thou wilt forgive their sins--and II
not, blot me, pray thee, oot of thy
book" God did neither. AS the follow
Ing verses show, he punished their sins,
but am sure did not blot out one letter
of the name of Moses from the book of
life.
There is only one kind of prayer in
which you need to put the ''if," and that
is the prayer for temporal blessings,
Pray for riches and they may engulf us,
or for fame and it may bewitch us, or for
worldly success of any sort and it may
destroy us. Better say, IF it be best"
'it l can make properuse of it,"''if Thou
,eest need it," A wife, praying for the
recovery of her husband from illness,
stamped her foot and said with frightful
emphasis: "Iwill not have him die. God
shall not take him." Her prayer was
answered, but few years after the COM
munity was shocked by the fact that he

A mother, praying for sons recov-
cry from illness, told the Lord he had no
right to take him, and the boy recovered,
but plunged into ali denominations and
died renegade. Better in all such
prayers and all prayers pertaining to our
temporal welfare put an If" saying,
III it be thy will" But praying for
spiritual good and the salvation of our
soul we need never insert an ''if." Our
spiritual welfare is sure to be for the
best, and away with the ifs"
Abraham's prayer for the rescue of
Sodom was a grand prayer in some re-
spccts, but there were six ifs" in it, or
'peradventures, which mean the same
thing. "Peradventure there may be so
righteous in the city, peradventure 45,
peradventure 40, peradventure 80, per-
adventure 20, pcradventure TO-" Those
six peradveItures, those six Ifs" killed
the prayer, and Sodom went down and
went under. Nearly all the prayers
that Were answered had no ifs" in them
the prayer of Elijah that changed dry
weather to wet weather, the prayer
that changed Hezekiah from a sick man
to well man, the prayer that halted
sun and moon without shaking the uni
verse to pieces.
Oh, rally your soul for prayer with
no Ifs" in it. Say in substance, Lord,

Once, by the law, my hopes We're slain,
But now, in Christ, live again.

text and without its Mosaic ifs" let us
cry out for God. Aye, if words fail Us,
let us take the suggestion of that print
