Throne. Who art tnou. mighty one Of
heaven? Il was the mother who raised a
whole family Of children for God, and
they are Gus in the world Christian MGR
chants, Christian mechanics. Christian
wives, and have had full reward Of all
my toll" Let US pass on in the circle of
thrones. Il had q Sabbath school class.
and they We're always on my heart, and
they all entered the kingdom Of God,
and am waiting for their arrival"
But who airs thou, the mighty one Of
heaven on this other throne: in time of
bitter persecution ! owned a house in
Damascus-a house on the wall. 4 man
who preached Christ was bounded from
street TO street, ana | hid him from the
assassins. and when I found them break
ing in my house and | could no longer
keep him safely advised him to flee for
his life, and a basket was LET down over
the wall With the lnaltreated man in it.,
and was one who helped hold the rope. "
And l said, is that all:' And he an
swered, THAT is ALL
And while was lost in amazement l
heard u strong voice that sounded rs
though it might once have been hoarse
from many exposures and triumphant
as though it night have belonged 10 one
of the martyrs, and it said, Mot many
mighty, not many noble are called. but
God hath chosen the weak things of the
world to confound the things which are
mighty, and base things Of the world and
things which are despised hath God
chosen-yea, and things which are not
to bring to naugllt things which are, that
no flesh should glory i'll his presence
And | looked to see from whence the
voice came, and. 10! it was the very ono
who had said, Through a window in =
basket was let down by the wall"

Henceforth think of nothing as insig-
nifcant a little thing may decide your
all. A Cunarder put out from England
for New York 1t was well equipped,
but in putting up . stove in the pilot box
nail was driven too near the compass.
You know how that nail would affect
the compass. The ships officer, deceived
by that distracted compass, put the ship
200 miles OF her right course, and sud-
denly the man en- the lookout cried,
Land, hor' and the ship was halted
within few yards Of her demolition on
Nantucket shoals A aixpenny nail came
near wrecking Cunarder. Small ropes
hold might destinies.
Administer seated in Boston at his table,
lacking a word, puts his hand behind his
head and tits back his chair to think,
and the ceiling fails and crushes tho
table and would have crushed him. A
minister in Jamaica at night by the Eight
of an insect, called the caudlehy, is kept
from steppingoyer preeipicc hundred
feet. T. ". Robertson, the celebrated
English clergyman. SAID that he entered
the ministry from Il train of circum-
stances started by the barking Of dog
Had the wind blown one way on GER
tain day the Spanish inquisition would
have been established in England. but it
blew the other way, and that dropped
the accused institution with 5000 tons
of shipping to the Bottom of the sea or
flung the splintered logs on the rocks.
