Personal Religion.

| do not think we have to convert men
to so many different ideas as we once
thought we must before we can say to
them, You must live the higher life, the
religious life" | think already we can
say to them, standing where you are it
is possible for you at this very moment to
begin a new life" A man calls himself
believer. He may be a dogmatist, bigot.
Another man calls himself an unbelieVer;
and yet essentially, the word of religion is
the same to them. | would say to the be-
lever: "Do not stop where you are now.
Do not be satisfied. Your faith cannot
stand alone. Add to your faith virtue,
and to virtue knowledge, and to knowl-
edge temperance, and to temperance god
illness, and to godliness brotherly kindness,
and to brotherly kindness charity" L
would say to the unbelever substantially
the same: "Do not stand satisfied with
your unbelief. Do not, like the Pharsee,
stand thanking God that you are not like
this other man in his superstitions, but be-
gin to add virtue to your knowledge, and
to knowledge temperance, and to that rev.
erence, and to reverence brOtherly kind
ness, and to brotherly kindness charity
Let them both develop along these lines;
and, when they get both well developed,
you would hardly know them apart. The
dOgmatist has lost his narrowness, and his
religion has developed into beauty and
grace; and the unbeliever has come to
learn something of the life of God, which
he could only learn by such experiences.
To both the word is personal growth. And
| want to say this: that no man who gen
timely does begin to live that kind of life,
whose religion is not word, but deed
u. N.sl
wherever he is.
| know of no more beautiful portrayal
of this life of simple godliness, which
grows out of desire to do ones present
duty, to develop its possibilities, than that
given by the man who wrote the gospel of
evangeicism for the English-speaking race
John Bunyan. You remember that,
when the pilgrims came at last to the river
which they must pass over-Great Heart
Valiant, and all the rest-there came one
simple man with them-Mr. Honest. Bun
yam tells how at last a message came to
Mr.. Honest, calling him by the Kings
command to cross the river; and then he
goes on, without telling any new or start
ling experiences, just to sum up his life
and death, using words to which the most
evangelical believers respond, and words
to which every man of the freest religion
must respond also. He says that the mes
sage came to Mr.. Honest, and at this time
the river did greatly overflow its banks
But in his lifetime Mr.. Honest had asked
one Mr.. Good Conscience to meet him
there, which he also did, and helped him
over the river The man who in his lifetime
has fully made the acquaintance OF MIR.
Good Conscience need not fear but that he
will help him over when the hour of need
comes Rer. Samuel ". CrOtherS.

Horsefesh in China has been considered
great delicacy for centuries. The inhab-
itants, however, for the purpose of the
kitchen, use almost exclusively animals of
small breed, little bigger than ponies,
which have thin legs and small bones, and
grow fat on little food. They are fed al
most entirely on grass and hay The
meat is sold at comparatively low prices
for this reason. Many farmers devote
their time almost exclusively to raising
these horses for the market.
The New York Sun remarks that alumni
mum cooking utensils and articles of table
ware begin to be displayed by house-fur-
nishing shops. There are frying pans,
pepper boxes, chatting dishes, ladies, fun
nels, and many other utensils, large and
small. A frying pan of large size costs 50,
which is pretty high for a frying pan.
The smaller articles are not greatly above
the price of like well-made articles of other
ware. The advantage of the aluminium
utensils over most others is that they
weigh almost nothing, and are not subject
to coTosiOn.
Every day of her life, no matter where
she may be, whether in Balmoral, Osborne,
Florence or elsewhere, Queen Victoria
receives from windsor castle supply OF
flowers, fruit and vegetables. Seasons
may come and go, but Queen Victoria
green peas are always on hand, while GU
cumbers, cabbages, French beans, or any
other vegetable her Majesty expresses a
wish to see on her dinner table, is there
the following day, whether it be in season
or not. With fruits it is a tritle different,
although the royal forcing houses hold
their own with the best in England. Straw
berries on Christmas day have always
been an institution with her Majesty.
Lilies of the valley and violets are her
favorite flowers, and every day a basket
of these arrives at Osborne to be placed
exclusively in the royal sanctum. Ehe
quantity of flowers sent daily as gifts to her
Majesty is surprising, and these, with
the home supply, constitute an abundance
sufficient to convert the royal apartments
into veritable covers of flowers.

The True Reconciliation of Science and
Theology.

That to which the great sacred books of
the world conform, and our own most
of all, is the evolution of the highest con-
ceptions, beliefs and aspirations of our race
from its childhood through the great turn
ing points in its history. Herein lies the
truth of all Bibles, and especially of our
own. OF vast value they indeed often are
as a record of historical outward fact;
recent researches in the East are constant
w increasing this value; but it is not for
this that we prize them most-they are
eminently precious, not as record OF out
ward fact, but as a mirror of the evolving
heart, mind and soul of man. They are
true because they have developed in ac-
cordance with the laws governing the
evolution of truth in human history, and
because in poem, chronicle, code, legend,
myth, apologize or parable, they reflect
this DEVELOPMENT of what is best in the
onward march of humanity. To say that
thew are not true is as if one should say
that flower or a tree or planet is not
true: to scott at them is to scott at the law
of the universe. In welding together into
noble form, whether in the book OF Genesis,
or in the Psalms or in the book of JOB, or
elsewhere, the great conceptions OF men act
ing under earlier inspiration, whether IN
Egypt, or in Chaldea, or lnula, OF IeIsldi
the compilers of our sacred books have
given to humanity a possession ever
becoming more and more precious; and
modern science, in substituting new
heaven and new earth for the old-the
leign of law for the reign of caprice and
the idea of evolution for that of creation
has added and is steadily adding new
revelation divinely inspired.
In the light of these two evolutions, then
one of the visible universe, the other OF
sacred n-legend-science an the
ology have at last been reconciled. A
great step in this reconciliation was recently
seen at the main centre of theological
thought among English-speaking people
when, in the collection of essays entitled
"Lux Mundi," emanating from the college
established in these latter days as the
fortress of orthodoxy at Oxford, the legend
ary character of the creation accounts II
our sacred books was acknowledged, anc
when an archbishop suggested that the
Holy Spirit may at times have made use o.
myth and legend.-Er-President andre"

The Angel Of PntIence.

To weary hearts, to mourning homes.
Gods meekest angel gently comes;
No power has he to Danish pain,
Or give us back our lost again:
And yet in tenderest love our dear
And heavenly Father sends him here.
There's quiet in that Angels glance,
There's rest in his still countenanCe,
He mocks no grief with idle cheer,
Nor wounds with words the mourners ear;
But ills and woes he may not cure
He kindly trains us to endure.

Eternity.

No man can pass into eternity, for he Is

The only sure way to get rid of past is
by getting a future out of it. l am sure
it would help us if we could only see that
often sin is perversion of good; that as
is often the case, the very sin came from a
part of our nature that God made: sense
of justice, strong affections or something
that, if only turned in the right direction,
would have made us whole Do not think
there is no good in you; there is, or there
would be nothing to appeal to. - PhHiipS

Brasses and Broazos of the Hindoos.

The brass and bronze trade is kept
alive by the religious customs of the
Hindoos, who are not allowed to use
wooden and earthenwsre vessels freely,
and brass and bronze are TO them rs i'm
portant as glass and china to the west
erners. Almost all Hindoo utensils are
of brass, copper or bronze, and il is the
custom to present the female portion Of
a Hindoo family with a valuable bat
terie de cuisine, made either of brass or
copper, and still existing Hindoo GER
emony is that Of carrying the utensils in
procession at the wedding. The result
of this custom is that almost all the
platters, trays, bowls, nut crackers and
all brass and copper utensils are most
beautifully ornamented, and there are
lovely combinations OF brass and copper
and silver and copper. All Hindoo wo-
men used to have lovely brass caskets
covered with concentrations called chel-
lams, manufactured in Malabar, in
which they kept their jewels, but these
are fast being replaced by the vulgar
English japanned dispatch box. At Siv-
aganga beautiful but seldom patron
lied brass trade exists, which makes
toys and most lifelike representations
of animals, lizards, frogs, etc. .-Chica-
