The Lost Heart.

I knew a man who lost his neart.
His wife had not got it, and he did not
seem as if he had got himself. "That
is odd, say you. Well he used to
starve himself. He had scarcely enough
to eat. His clothes were threadbare.
He starved all who were around him.
He did not seem to have a heart. A
poor woman owed him little rent.
Out she went into the street. He had
no heart. A person had fallen back a
little in the payment of money he had
lent him. This debtors children were
crying for bread. The man did not
care who cried for hunger, or what be-
came OF the children. He would have
his money. He had lost his heart. 1

I went to his house one day, and saw
an iron safe; it stood behind the door
of an inner room, and when he un-

bolts were shot and the inside was

1t Makes a Difference.

A clergyman>in Maine propounds a
query that is peculiar, pertinent and
perpleXing: "At paid lecture people
go away from the sale disgusted be-
cause all the seats but those miserable
pews at the rear end are taken,' and
the following Sunday night at the
preaching service or prayer meeting
those six or eight back pews, which were
so undesirable on week day, are all
filled, and those very desirable front
seats are empty, Notwithstanding the
polite request of pastor and of usher to
the people to come and occupy them.
Why is it that folks are SO bashful on
Sunday and afraid to attract attention,
but lose their reticence at concert OF
q paid lecturer -Congregationalist.

Poetry and Religion.

Poetry fulfills it's highest function
when it becomes the handmade of re-
ligion, awakening noble emotions in
our hearts, stirring holy impulses in us,
setting in motion divine echoes that
roll from soul to soul, that touch the
cord of natures Tyre which makes the
whole world akin, and reveal our COM
mon brotherhood before God. 1t is
plain that the spiritual side of our
nature is improved by whatever retfnes
and exalts, and that the grosser appe-
tites of man are held in check by those
gentler and subtler influences which
spring from mind that spurns the
earth and lifts its gaze beyond the
mountain tops. 1t is no less true of
the poet than of the prophet that his
lips have been touched by Goals of living
fire, that his glance shoots from heaven
to earth, and from earth to heaven,
and that the mighty thoughts of Homer
descended from the same source only
through the channels of the natural
order as did the gorgeous conceptions
of Isaiah. The sublime utterances of
the great bards of the ages have santi-
fed the world, and turned mems pas
sions from the roads to ruin and revolt
against order, into pathways that led
to the building of great cities, to the
growth of civilization and the rearing
of those mighty monuments that have
immortalized the past. Rome lives to-
day portion of its life instinct with
the 81 irit which Virgil breathed into it,
and its Christianity is no less holy and
pure because 1900 years ago it glowed
with the light of the MUSES.. But it is
in the individual especially that we
should look for the healthful influ-
ences of poetry and learn its general
rivalry with religion ing dissipating
doubt and shedding on the soul the
radiance of a new birth. To turn from
the beautiful page of Kempis to the
ing from the valley where the lily
blooms into the garden where the rose
bushes, for in both the fragrance Is
equally delightful and the color and
life of grand epoch are revealed to
us. The ages of faith are reflected
alike from the sententious utteranccs
of the pious recluse as from the pas
sionate verses of the Florentine. Light
shines in upon the one equally from
both, and doubt and dishonor fly alike
from the unctuous touch of the ascetic
as from the impassioned lines of the
mystic bard. And so in every age of
the world religion and poetry stand
linked together and good men have
found it easy to pass from the portals
of the sanctuary to the the temple Of
the muses..

Notes and Comments.

A NEGRO preacher in the South, who
secured the eloquent Bishop Simpson
to preach in his colored congregation,
thus grandiloquently introduced him:
"Breddern, you are to hab de privilege
dis mornin' of hearin' de great Bishop
Simpson from de Noff, a man whose
repootation is all over dis land like
Soundin' brass and a tinklin' cymbal."
Their were 900 baptized in the New
York Baptist churches last year. In
all the churches but three the large
congregations are in the evening. The
average Baptist congregation of the
city is about 200. Only three churches
have assistant pastors and fourteen
have women missionaries. About 50
per cent. of the baptisms are from the
sunday-school.
AFTER Miss Jones had told the stor,
Of the Floating Society of Christian
Endeavor, at a recent Endeavorer con-

writing a novel, in which the families

who fancy we know it well, fail to find
any decided evidence in our lives that
we are gaining anything from it. We

the reason that we are looking in it
rather for doctrines truth, perhaps

Trials and Temptations.

Our trials seem hard, our tempta-
tions chafe and fret, and the daily rou-
tine of duties look tiresome and like a
burden, because our selfish inclinations
are pulling us in another way, and we
are not inclined to stop and consider
the use and helpfulness of these expe-
riences. But if we could accustom
ourselves to finding some element of
usefulness in every days experience,
the trials would be more easily borne,
the temptations would fret us less, and
the duties of life would never appear
heavy and wearisome.
