"Only Remembered by What
We Have Done"

The above refrain of beautiful
hymn calls forth the serious and
solemn thought, that when we shall
have left this earthly home of ours
we shall only be remem bered by
the things we have done. That those
who are left behind shall sit IN
judgment not upon our words, but
upon our deeds. What satisfac-
ton will it be then to one who has
led an upright, godly life; life
devoted to good deeds, self. denial
and 10 service for the Master, to lay
aside the cares and troubles of this
life and enter into rest, conscious of
having tried to do his whole duty.
What untold misery will one ex-
perience who has spent a long life
uselessly, or even worse, in vice and
sin, to die with the knowledge of
wasted opportunities for good, Of
precious hours spent IN wickedness
and sin too terrible to even con-
template in such an hour. The first
man will be held in loving remem-
brance by all who knew him. BY
the fallen man he helped out of the
slough of despond by the suffer-
ing woman to whom he brought
comfort and consolation by the
innocent children be tenderly cared
for i'm imitation Of the Master.
The other will be remembered
but in a far different way. Not by
kind thoughts of loving actions and
noble deeds, but only to be des-
pissed for his vices, and pitied for
his weaknesses. No one should be
content with living to himself and
neglecting his duty TO his fellow
man it should be the aim of every
one to try TO so live that a lasting
recollection Of his good deeds may
remain with all who knew him.
The lesson is not for the dead but
the living-when We think we shall
only be remembered by our actions,
our lives should be filed with good
deeds to others, loving thoughts for
the welfare of those around us, and

offer ourselves as thank offerings.
Ii we will let HIS love sway our
wills and consciences, He will give
our Wills aud consciences power to
master and to offer up our flesh.
And the great change, according to
which He will one day change the
body of our humiliation into the
llken' IS of the body of His glory,
will be begun in us, if we live un-
der the influence of the motive and
the commandment which this apos-
tie bound together in our text and
in His other great words: "Ye are
not your own; ye are bought with a
price, therefore glorify God with
your body and spirit, which are
His."-ReU. AIer. MacLaren, d. d.

DR.. Dykes on Social Reform.

Preaching at the reopening ser
vice in Regents Square, from Luke
End chap. 10 and II verses, DIR.
Dykes, in the concluding part of
his sermon said-The Church will
commit a graver error than ever in
my judgment if she let the popular
cry for social reform draw her aside
from her proper task. The fashion,
almost the craze, of the hour runs
strongly In the direction of social
philanthropy, with or without reli-
gion. For, alongside the grim dead
earnest socialism of the democracy,
there is a dainty modish variety of
the article with which well-to. do
society amuses itself. On all sides,
therefore, the Church and the pull
pit are importuned or challenged to
tall into the swim and work with
the current. I am far from saying
they should stand aloof. l have
already said it would be hazardous
if they did. The movement for
elevating, refining, and gladdening
the lives of the poor is an out
SlOW III VI NuO SDlIlG. DuG
1T will end in comparative failure
if it be severed from its root in the
Gospel of Christian redemption.
The Church must, therefore, main
tain ner protest that the problem
of personal guilt and sin is the first
and the worst and the nearest of all
problems for each of us, that which
most concerns US to get solved, and
that with this problem no one deals
or can deal save the Divine Saviour
who was crucified on Calvary for
sin. Keep the one foot of the com
passes pivoted here, at home, in the
conscience, the Will, the religious
nature of the individual man, and
then you may sweep with the other
limb as wide circle as you please.
the wider the better; take in all
human affairs if you can; annex
humanity itself, and make mankind
one realm over which the law of
Jesus shall at last prevail.

Paul and the Parliament.

The Canadian Presbyterian, of
November Sth, says:
Doctor Hoge, of Richmond, is of
the opinion that Paul would not
have attended a parliament of re-
ligiOns, had there been one in his
day. Speaking at the meeting of
the Executive Commission of the
Alliance, in Cincinnati, the other
day, on the faith once delivered to
the saints, the Doctor said:
Now this fact is one that never
permits of compromise, never, new
er. If there had been a parliament
of religions in Paul's day, he would
not have been apt to be there. He
would not have glorifed the Orien
tai religions as we have heard them
glorifed of late. We can not ina
CINE the Paul of the first chapter
of Romans doing anything of the
sort. He would not have put Christ
and those religions side by side
and talked about the matters SO
much that at last Timothy would
get up and say: We'll, Paul nearly
persuades me to be a pagan
That faith once delivered to the
saints was not such that Paul would
have stood before the strange reli-
gions, at a parliament of religions,
and told it that he had Bible full
of errors, one in which the morality
of the early part could not be de-
Tended on ethical lines; Bible, in
short, in which there is nothing GER
tain but what the speaker himself,
by the illumination of his own in
ner consciousness can approve.
The heather would not have gone
home from a parliament attended
by Paul and announced that these
Christians didn't even believe their
own sacred books The time has
come, when it must be exacted by
every man who would represent the
Presbyterian Church to give assent
to all its doctrines. There are
craven. hearted temporizers who
would seal up and label as poison
some of those truths that God
meant to be cordials of life."'
There are many who sympathize
with these opinione, and more of
t%em will be heard from ere long,
CO course, as Goodwin Smith says
there ia no use in trying to reason
with a mania; and a union mania
is as unreasonable as any other
The one good thing about a mania
is that it never lasts long. and when
1t burns itself out, and there is nc
longer an opportunity to make
money or notoriety out of it, ra
tlonal men get chance to express
their views to some purpose.

"Move Upward"

There is the difference between
the Christian teaching "present
your bodies as sacrifice" and the
highest and noblest of similar
teaching elsewhere. One of the
purest and loftIest of the ancient
moralists was a contemporary of
Paul's. He would have re echoed
from his heart the Apostles direc
tiOr, but he knew nothing of the
Apostles motive. So his exhorta-
tiOns we're powerless. He had no
spell to work on mems hearts, and
his lofty teachings were as the voice
of one crying in the wilderness.
While Seneca taught, Rome was a
cesspool of moral putrldity and
Nero butchered. So it always is.
There may be noble teachings about
self-control, purity and the like,
but an evil and adulterous genera
ton is slow to dance such piping.
Our poet has bid US
Move upwards, casting out the beast,
And let the ape and tiger die"
But how is this heavy bulk of ours
to "move upward how il the beast
to be "cast OUT" how are the ape
and tiger in us to be slain2 Paul
has told us: "By the mercies of
God" Christ's gift, meditated on,
accepted, introduced into will and
heart, is the one power that will
melt our obstinacy, the one magnet
that will draw us after it.
Nothing else, brethren, as your
own experience has taught you, and
as the experience of the world con-
firms, nothing else will bind Be.

by which men try to bind their un.

denned and unusual zeal klndled.
1t is not likely that either of the
parties developed in the public dis
cussions and expression of views in
social interviews, will become the
pronounced leaders of the Synod's
future progress. The course actual
ly pursued will be. in all probabili-
ty, that marked out by the mys-
terious diagonal that seems to
characterize all progress, whether
mental, spiritual or material. With
the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
may it not be hoped that the future
work of the Church will be prose-
cuted with the zeal and vigor of
tireless youths, modified and d.
rected by the matured counsels of
those who have so long worked and
prayed for the prosperity of the
cause of Christ, as represented by
their lifelong services.
The writer will ever remember
his visit to the home OF the loved
and lamented DR.. Samuel Brown,
near Milboro Springs. Mrs. Brown,
now nearly eighty years of age, is
spending her time serenely and USE
fully. She takes a deep interest in
church affairs as ever, and the Cen

pages more approximately. She

we're something unique. Could
they be recalled and written Just as
he gave them to his family, nothing
would be more interesting to read

ly narrative.

pensed for the first time communion
and baptismal rites. Mr.. Lambdin,
of Goshen, assisted pastor White,
and his preaching was highly ac-
ceptable to the interested audiences
that greeted him with their atten.
tive presence. Fifteen accessions
we're reported, nine by profession
and five by letter. 1t was a grateful
surprise to the writer to see and
meet so many, who were present at
his first communion June, 1858, as
communicates or as spectators.
One more incident and let this
letter come to a conclusion. 1t was
privilege to visit Mrs. Margaret
Gatewood, now in the ninetieth
year of her life, at her home near
the Warm Springs. Her faculties
surprisingly well preserved. 1t
seemed to be her delight to recall
and repeat the memorable saying
of Augustine, when he observed
there were but three steps to heaven,
upon being asked what they were,
he replied "the first is humility, the
second is humility, the third is
humility" Every day she prays
for humility, and when the dying
day comes, she will have dying
grace. Yours as ever, w. T. P.

The Word Of Life.


Book of books, whose holy pages
Shine with pure and heavenly light,
Coming down from distant ages
With celestial visions bright,
Still we turn thy leaves in wonder
Where thy treasure folded lies,
And in rapt attention ponder
On thy message from the skies
Book of books, thy words are holy,
And thine oracles are true;
Welcome ever to the lowly
Who the way of life pursue.
Here the poor, each promise learning,
With Astounding grace are blessed;
Here the weary spirit yearning
For repose, finds grateful rest.
Wisdom's pride arraigns and tries thee;
Ready witnesses are found;
Frying doubt forsakes, denies thee;
Friends are few, and foes abound.
But our humble faith, adoring
Him who calls thy words bis own,
Works by love, and, strength restoring,
Binds US closer to his throne.
Book of books, no papal burning,
Royal spite, or knife profane,
Faithless zeal, or scornful learning,
May thine awful voice restrain.
Word of God, from heaven indited,
Truth pervades thy halloH ed lines.
Lamp of life For men benighted,
With unerring light it shines

Letter from West Virginia.

Letter from West Virginia.
Me88r8. Editor8,-Among the items
o passing interest in our mountain
State, mention may be made of the
fact that our people are much
pleased with the idea of being the
first of the States in the quality
and quantity of its mineral and
timber resources. That is to say if
there be significance attached to
the awards made by the agents of
the Columbian Exposition. Atten-
ton is thus attracted to the pos.
sibilities of West Virginia, and it
looks as if the time is not very re-
mote wheI vast industrial interests
will be developed
1t is rumored that our State NAV
be soon favored with Presbyterian
college. The West Virginia Pres.
bytery, which is included in the
Synod of Pennsylvania, has com.
mittee looking out for a suitable
location. Hon. S. B. Elkins, late
Secretary of War, offers twenty
acres of land, and fifty thousand
dollars by way of inducement to
have the college at Elkins, Rand
olph county. 1t is not probable
that any other suitable location
will surpass this offer. This point
will be convenient for many of
"the mountain whites" about whom
so much interest is being developed,
among the friends Of the Scotch
Irish "klth and kin" And if other
reports materialize truly an impor-
tant female seminary will receive a
very substantial endowment; then
our educational facilities will be
we'll to the front also.
Our part of the State has been
remarkably free from the elemental
disturbances hat have been so dis
astrous in many sections of the
United States, consequently we
regard the West Virginia hills with
much grateful feeling for their
sheltering Offices from desolating
storms.
There has been disturbance,
however, of recent occurrence, that
promises to be historical. As your
correspondent reached the summit
of the Allegheny, on his return
from Synod, be was startled by see
ing and hearing the rapid falling
of trees, attended with shrill, graf
ing sounds, aud loud reverberating
echoes as if an artillery conflict was
raging in the vast forests. Upon
inquiry lt was ascertained that
there was a rivalry between two
large logging camps to possess some
lands in dispute. 1t was feared
that personal collision would Oc-
cur along the lines, but fortunately
better cOunsels prevailed. No blood
was shed, no life sacrificed, but the
scene Of desolation is simply hor-
ribie to contemplate At the high
est tide Of the contest one person
counted the fall of twenty large
trees In less than q minute in close
quarters, and the wonder is that no
injury resulted to life or limb. All
lis now quiet along this lumber
POto nae, and 10 is devoutly wished
10 may ever remain so.
The subdued, uncrowned kings
Of our once beautiful mountain,
Low fallen from their high estate,
evoke feelings almost too deep for
ts8rs
The late sessions Of Synod, your
correspondent thinks, will be re-
gorded az one of more than ordin-
airy significance i'm results. Hopes
as well fears have been awakened.
Opposing views and methods Of re-
ligiou5 action have been clearly
