an end. We must continue to climb
to still higher planes of existence, and
to joys still more rapturous. The
moment we stop in our upward jour
ney, and fold our arms, that moment
the light that has led us so far, will
forsake us, and we will be enveloped
in darkness. l know a man whose
life opened brightly, and he had sweet
visions of beauty and glory before
him. But he thought he must try his
luck in some speculations. Heidi try
and lost, and lost again. Then he be-
gan to lose confidence in men, and
God and goodness. Gradually his
bright visions faded from his soul,
and now he is a confirmed atheist,
believing no longer in God or immor-
tality. He stopped climbing and en-
gagged in sordid pursuits, and life to
him has become burden. The pres
ent, to him, is all dark, and darker
still is the future. Hogarth, one of
the greatest natural artists the world
ever cav, tried the art of caricature
in his last years. By thus lowering
his profession he lost the love of the
beautiful, as he himself acknowledged
and 80 the joys of his life declined.
We must ever have before us an
ideal that is above us, and keep our
eyes steadily fixed upon it. And SO we
need faith in God AN infinitely good
God, faith in man, faith in ourselves,
and faith in Immortality.
This will help us to climb, to sur
mount difficulties, to triumph over
wrong. And as we thus climb we
shall feel thepulsations of new
life throbbing through our be-
ing, and we shall be indeed glad
that we exist-a thousand times glad.
And we shall look forward to another
life with pleasing emotions, for there
we shall expect to continue the good
work begun here, and to ascend in
the scale of being forever and forever
and experience increased pleasure
and satisfaction, and thrills of glad
life, as we climb the hills of Heaven
and approach the infinite and loving
Father and mingle with the dear ones
of earth. 1t is indeed blessed thing
to live the life of Christ; to think his
thoughts; to manifest his spirit; to
go about doing good as he did; and
thus to have Christ formed within us.
This is what we are in this world for,
to become perfect as God is per-
feet.

FROM NODDING OHUROH-A HOMI-
LETIOAL STUDY.

A few Sundays ago, while on visit to
LIE Reve, attended service at the Nod
ding Church, and had the inestimable
privilege of hearing discourse from that
able divine, the Rev. DIR. Proey. DR.. Prosy
is we'll known as a great and scholarly
preacher; and as do not often have an
opportunity of hearing him, I took pref
ty full notes of his very elaborate dis
course.
The preliminary services" as they
are usually called, were not such as am
accustomed to. There was no choir.
The preacher announced a hymn. and
read it slowly and deliberately. l was
particularly struck with the appropriate
ness Of the opening line:
"How tedious and tasteless the hours"
The tune was raised" by a brother
whose style of singing was admirably
fitted to the sentiment expressed in tie
line just quoted, and the whole tone of
the "prelimiparies" was in excellent
keeping, and full of what the critics call
''repose."
The prayer was very quiet; and l was
struck with the absence of anything like
that haste or hurry which too often mars
the effect of this solemn service.
DIR. Prosy arose and very deliberately
announced as his text that old and famil
lar passage which we had all learned on
our mothers lap:
Little Jack Horner
Sat in a corner,
Eating Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb
And pulled out plum,
And said, What good boy am Il''
DR.. Prosy then proceeded as follows:
Before entering upon the discussion of
the very important transaction set forth
in my text, it is necessary that l should
notice the several recensions of the text
itself; for there are, on the part of the
most scholarly critics. some considerable
divergences as to the original form.
One school OF critics are disposed 10
substitute the name Johnnie 10th erwise
written Johnny for the name Jack
which we find in our version. 1t is
scarcely necessary for us to go into any
elaborate discussion of the question as
between Johnnie and Johnny; for it is
obvious to any tolerably careful student
that there is no essential difference be-
tween the two forms; and the best phil
ologists are agreed that they are both
affectionate diminutives of the original
name. John. Careful pathological inves
tigation has also settled the meaning Of
name John; and it is now generally
agreed among scholars that the name
has, in it's Hebrew form, the same mean
as the Greek name Theodore. that is to
say, gift of God.'
The school Of critics who contend for
Johnnie (alias Johnny have pointed out
a few manuscripts in which the text
reads:
Little Johnny Horner
Sitting in a corner
And they hold. not without reason, that
this recension is more euphonious and
melodious. Still. we must beware Of
being misled by this circumstance; for it
is one of the fundamental laws of the
great science of text criticism, that a
copyist is much more likely to lengthen
than to abbreviate his text; and espeei-
ally is this true when he seems to see
how the text may be improved, in sense
or in sound, by some slight additions.
Now we have before us case in point.

mencement exercises of the Morris Brown
College. one Of the youngest, but at the
same time one Of the most successful, col

sent the following letter to Rev. A. Grant,
Bishop of Georgia, Florida and Alabama,
and president of the board of trustees of

Dear Sir-I was called South a week
earlier than / expected, and official duties
will compel me to return to Washington to-
day. / regret that / will not be able to at
tend the commencement exercises Of the
Morris Brown College. Every good citizen
should feel deep interest in your work.
Whatever advances the mental and moral
strength of your race adds to the power and
security of our State and Nation. Every
patriotic man should recognize this fact and
do all in his power to aid you. 1t would
have given me pleasure to accept your in
vitation and TO speak to your people upon
our common responsibility. Passing by the
higher obligation of every man who can to
help those who need 1t, the interests of our
entire section require that your people
make the greatest possible progress, and /
will be ready TO contribute my part to such
an end whenever the opportunity is pre-
Sented."
