RAMS HORN SAYINGS.

AS soon as we take a step with God
we stop being worthless and begin to
amount to something.
Anybody can make enemies but only
Christians can love them.
A man in earnest about mis- soul will
be in earnest about everything he does.
Telling about your meannesses when a
sinner is as disagreeable as showing old
sores. If God keeps ecretyour pardoned
sins, why should you publish them?
The man who will make an honest
effort to follow Christ will soon learn
that he came from God.
If believers do no more than Others,
how is the world to know that they
have more than others,
The man who rules himself is a king
whether he wears IL crown or not.
The only good thing to do with u
trouble is tn give it to the Lord.
Nothing is right that makes the Christ
ian part company with Christ.

WAIT UPON THE LORD.

lisa, 4o:31.
BY s. Il. ADAMS.
We whose utmost strength is weakness,
Yet you struggle, worn and weary,
With the awful heat and burden
OF the unrelenting day;
Ye who wander, lone and loney,
Through the waste of desert places,
Thirsting oft, and oft a-hungered,
Feeble lips too parched to pray.
Suns have scorched and thorns have hurt on
Steep the path, and rough aud rugged:
Foot sore, travel-stained and bleeding,
"Where is God?'' you sometimes say
Life is pitiless--unyielding;
Oh, could 1 but give you comfort!
All my heart is sick wit longing
Light to shed upon your way.
Something have known of sorrow,
Fierce yet unavailing struggle;
Kin to me are all who suffer:
May touch one precious chord:
Who shall mount with wings as eagles?
Who shall run and not be weary?
Who for strength faint not in walking?
They that wait upon the Lord.

on q good and well intended act reveals
the wickedness of his own mind and

you will always remain in the light OF

1856. There is one sure road towards
unselfishness, and that is generous UNI
wearied kindness; every step taken on
that road is long stride heavenwards.
Kindness delights both God and men.
The unkind cannot wound the feelings
of Others without piercing, at the same
time, the loving heart of Jesus whose
infinite kindness and mercy caused Him
to pour out the last drop of His Blood
even for His enemies,
1856. If tho world knew where is the
source OF true happiness none would
seek to assuage his thirst in the corrupt
ed pleasures of earthly joys, but all
would sigh after the pure delights OF
sweet and solid virtue. The inst feed on
lilies and swim in untold consultations;
the wicked drink iniquity like water.
Many lead lives similar to those of angels
and prepare for heaven; but alas! how
great is the number OF those who sens
ually roll in the mire of wickedness, worse
than swines, little thinking they must
soon become the food of worms and
fuel for hell-fire. This is no fun, but
Scriptural truth.
1877. Men are not born for wees, in
temperance, immortality, injustice, but
for virtues, sobriety, purity, justice,
charity and religion which teaches them
their duty to God, to themselves and to
society. An innate feeling INCREASINGLY

destined to higher and brighter chimes,
we are exiles here below, heaven is our

regions, even during our brief summer,
but especially at the hour OF transmigra-
ton, feel the impulse OF Southern lands
and gladly spread their wings for the
realm of light and bloom, ESQ should we
during our short life, but especially at
the hour of death, feel the sweet solicita-
tions of the life beyond, and ioyfully
soar from the chill and shadow OF earth,
to fold our wings and sing hymns OF
thanks in the summer of our eternal
home, with God our adorable Creator.

word or do deed which might injure
the reputation or even disturb the peace
of your neighbours soul, reflect long and
seriously lest by your mischief you might
be guilty of q grievous injustice. The
evil done in moment by foolish

not be undone by years ofrepentance rep
