Crooked People.

When one stoops to any wicked
ness he loses the original uprightness
for which he was created, and becomes
in Scripture phraseology, "crooked."
Sin, in general, is turning aside to
crooked ways"
But if an evil-doer can shake these
crooks out of him, and straighten
himself up in righteousness, then he
begins to live not only with an eye to
his own salvation, but also to the glory
of God, who created him for better
purposes than his own lusts. But
how can he do this? What is the
receipt ? The Bible gives it to us in
the words, "The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom - "the fear of
the Lord is clean, enduring forever"
1t has cleansing influence upon the
human heart: gradually, if not i'm
mediately, cleansing impurities. 1t
makes the soul both ashamed and a.
fraid of sin. Also. it begets in it a
hatred of Gin, and engages it unavoid-
abl vim q league against sin. And it sets it
to praying for holiness as when David
said, Create in me clean heart, o
God and renew a right spirit within
me-"
Thus religion straightens one up if
he has been crooked, and causes him,
as Isaiah says of the righteous, to
"walk in his integrity" The "fear of
man" is short-lived, terminating when
the observant eye is shut. But the
fear of the Lord endureth forever."-
J. G. H., in American Messenger.

What the woof is to the warp, crosses
are to character. Without the latter,
the former is nothing but limp line of
thread without strength, without use
fulness, without susceptibility of being
made beautiful. But when crossed by
the woof, it becomes cloth fit for var
ious uses, and capable of receiving a
finishing and an ornamentation which
transforms it into a thing of beauty.
In like manner mans character Is
limp, weak, unreliable and unattrac-
tive until it has been subjected to
many tests and trials. These, like the
woof, cross and re-cross ones natural
Tenderness until resistance to evil be-
gets growth, strength, endurance, and
moral beauty. Why, then should one
fret against ones crosses ? They are
painful, vexatious, hard to be borne
sometimes, but what are these ills,
which are but for a moment, when
compared with the exceeding and eter-
nal weight of glory with which they
are to he rewarded when the last one
has been overcome? The brilliants In
ones crown will be the crosses of oue's
present life crystalized in the love and
light of Heaven.
