Mad with n Mirror.

Some years ago there was mission.
ary bazaar held in Christian city in
aid of the African mission. When the
bazaar was finished, it was found that
a number of articles were left unsold.
Some of them, it was thought, would
be very handy for the mission, so it
was decided to send the lot out to
Africa. Among other things was a
box of little hand-mirrors, that had
bsen given by a merchant. Looking
glasses seemed queer things to send to
foreign mission however, they were
sent, and became the most useful arti-
cles there. The mirrors took the peo.
ple's fancy, and their fame was carried
far beyond the station.
The knowledge of this wonderful
thing came to princess of distant pow
erful tribe. She had never beheld her
dusky countenance, except as double
silhouette in a placid lake, and she
longed to behold all her charms, for,
being a princess, she was told by
everybody that she was most beautiful;
whereas, she was one Of the pla nest
women in the whole tribe. A messen.
ger was dispatched for one of the mir
rors, which he procured and at once
returned to his mistress.
When she got possession of it she
did not look into it at once, but took
herself off to own place, that she
might have good long look at hel
beauty. When she beheld herself as
she was with one blow of her royal
hand she dashed the glass to pieces
She ordered the missionaries off her
territory, and published and edict for.
bidding iooking-glasses being brought
into the country.
Are there not many in other lands
who are in similar condition with
regard to their souls? When they are
brought face to face with Gods look
ing-glass, with the hideousness of theiI
sin, and they cannot deny the fact
they blame the mirror, seek toavoid it
and destroy it that they may lay tht
flattering falsehood to themselves that
they are not so ugly as they appear.

"a. r. Presbyterian.)

One cause of so many unanswered
prayers is that they are from wrong
motive. 1--WE ask and receive not be-
cause we ask amiss that we may con-
sumo it upon our lusts." Especially is
this true in regard to temporal bless
ines. We desire worldly prosperity
and pray for it not that we may do
more good and be blessing to others
but that we may enjoy more of the
life. We want to have finer homes
and live in better style and to keep up
with the fashions of the world. If
this is not our purpose in praying for
worldly prosperity, it is at least what
most men do, Christians included,
when they obtain worldly prosperity.

(Christian Standard.)

If your preacher is not quite up to
the measure of the stature of your
ideal if he is not so elegant as Robert
son, or entertaining as Beecher, or elo--
quent as Brooks; if he lacks somewhat
on the social side, and is a little slow
and awkward in making friends, the
poorest of all remedies is criticism or
censure. For all ordinary ministerial
failings, an ounce of cooperation is
worth a pound of criticism a gill Of
sy mpathy more than a gallon of CEN
sure. Any sincerely pious man of or
dinary talents can be made into an ef-
ficient, successful pastor by a congre-
cation; and any man, however good
and gifted, can be made a failure by
the congregation. A congregation
may be known by the sort of pastors it
makes.

Love Is not mere attribute of God.
1t is not that Gods love for his crea-
lures is one of his phases of feeling or
of being, while his sense of justice is
another phase. 1t is not that God loves
some of his creatures, and lacks love
for others. "God is love-" and God
cannot be himself and fail of being
loving. God loves those who love
him, and God loves those who do not
love him. What comfort there is in
this truth
