cussion Of the problem, so
dear to the heart of all lovers of man
kind: The labors of humanity in the
war of the future. Electricity and
steam, aeronautics and chemistry, all
the old and new sciences have been
pressed into Mars service and uni
form. Inventions, which, by their
expensiveness, frightened off the great
industrial powers of the world, have
been eagerly bought up by the War
Ministers Of petty States; nothing is
too costly, no outlay too extravagant.

INFLUENCE OF FAMILY WORSHIP OF chill
DREN.

INFLUENCE OF FAMILY WORSHIP OF chill
There are many readers of these
pages who, like the authck, can 60 back to
no period of recollection in which the wor-
ship of God was not duly observed under the
parental roof; and they will agree in testify
ing that this is among the chief blessings for
which they have to thank On ever gracious
Providence. If called upon 10 name the
principal benefit Of the institution, we should
Indicate its benign operations on the children
of the house. The simple fact that parents
and offspring meet together every morning
and evening for reading the word Of God
and prayer, is great fact in household an
the Intel of the door. 1t Is the setting up OF
Gods altar. The dwelling IS marked
as o house of prayer. Religion Is
thus made substantative and promi-
nent part Of the domestic plan. The way Is
opened and closed In the name OF the Lord.
From the very dawn OF creation each little
one grows up with feeling that God must be
honored in everything; that no business Of
life can proceed without him; and that the
days work or study would be unsheltered,
disorderly, and in manner profane, but for
this conservation. When such child comes,
in late years, to mingle with families where

shudder, as If among heather or infldel com.
panions. In Greenland, when stranger
knocks at the door. he asks rs God in this
house?' and If they answer Yes he enters.
AS prayeris the main part of all family
worship. so the chief benefit to children Is
that they are the subjects of such prayer.
As the great topic of the parents heart in his
offspring, so they will be his great burden at
the throne Of grace. And what Is there which
the father and mother can ever do for their
beloved ones that may be compared with
their bearing them to God in daily supplica-
ton? And when are they so likely to do this
with melting affection, as when kneelins
amidst the group of sons and daughtersi
And what prayers are more likely to be an.
swered, than those which are offered thus?
The direct influence Of family prayer is then
to bring down the benediction of Almighty
God upon the children of the house. In say
ing this. though we should not add another
word. we adduce a sufficient and triumphant
reason for the custom Of our fathers.

RELIGIOUS READING.
A CHRISTIANS DYING PRAYER.

"And they stoned Stephen, calling upon
God, saying. LordJesus, receive my spirit.
Acts vii %.
Here is prayer to Jesus Christ, to receive
the departing soul; and this I put down
among the characteristics Of every faithful
death.
Brethren. think you will feel in a dying
hour that your departing soul needs Divine
Saviour. You have one In Jesus Christ
You may call upon Him then. even as now.
His ear will not be heavy though yours may,
when death Is sealing up your faculties. HIS
eye will not have lost its power OF gazing al
fectionately on you. when yours is becoming
dim and closed. His hand will not be short
ered in the hour when yours will have be-
come tremulous and feeble. But lift up the
hand, the heart, the eye, the soul in prayer to
Fin, and you will find Him very near and
present help in that your time OF trouble.
Other men die in different ways, according
to their character and temper. julius Caesar
died adjusting his robes, that he might fall
gracefully. Augustus died in compliment to
Livia; Tiberius, dissimulation; Tespucian,
In q Jest. The infldel Hume died with pitifu
Jokes about Charon and his boat; Rousseau
with language of presumptious boasting !:
Voltaire with mingled imprecations and sup
plicctions; Paine with shrieks OF agonidng
remOrS6- Mult1tuOeS ole VIII SuuenneSS,
some with blasphemies faltering on their
tongues. But, brethren. the humble Christ
ian would die praying Well, says the poet:
"Prayer IS the Christians vital breath,
The Christians native air,
His watch-word at the gates OF death,
He enters heaven with prayer"
But observe for what Stephen prayed
lord Jesus, receive my SPIRIT" This is
the prayer of faith commending the immor-
tai spirit to the covenant care Of Jesus. The
spirit does not die with the body. None but
God, who gave, can take away the souls ex-
istence, and he has declared that he never
will. Would that bad men would think on
that. You cannot get rid Of your souls ex-
istence; you cannot cease to be; you may
wish 1t, though the wish is monstrous and
unnatural. But there is no annihilation
for any soul Of man. Oh, come to our
Savior! give him your guilty soul, to be
justified through his atonement, washed In
his blood, regenerated by his spirit. Ma5e
to him now that surrender of your soul, for
which he calls. Renew this happy self-dedi-
cation every day, very especially every Sab
bath. and most solemnly from time to- time
at the Lords Supper. And then when you
come to die, it will only be, to do once more
what you have so often done in former days,
again to commend your soul very humbly,
believingly and affectionately, into the faith
full care Of Jesus Christ.

are not allowed to leave the
city without permission from the
