A Picturesque Church.

picturesque than ST. Giles, Cripplegate
Its lantern is strangely gaunt and
blackened, its towers stark and solemn
The approaches are all struggling and
curious. The curious skulls and hour
glass over the entrance to the church
yard are vigorously done. 1t escaped
the great fire, and is an interesting
church altogether. Here are Milton

and that of daughter of Shakespeare
Lucy" The register shows the mar
riage of Oliver Cromwell to Elizabeth
Boucher. In the churchyard a larga
fragment Of the old city wall is to be
seen.

When those hours come upon us in
which we yearn for the wings of a
dove that we may fly away and be at
rest, let us strive to overcome our sad
ness by the cheering influence of hope,
let us go to God for that peace that
passeth understanding" and thus
change the burdens of life into bless
ings. There is no sorrow which may
not in this way be alleviated, no wound
that may not by this balm be healed.
In doing so we will indeed be carried
away from our sorrows and trials to a
condition of holy rest in God. This is
after all the great blessing Being
content, the poorest man is rich; while
he who counts his millions hath little
joy be he otherwise"

be comfort in the house, others besides
the servants must not answer again.
Answering again" means trying to get
the last word; but those who desire do
nestle felicity will rather strive after
the last silence. To certain husbands
and wives, and brothers and sisters, we
commend the following words of an
old writer: They which keep silence
are we'll said to hold their peace, be-
cause silence oftentimes doth keep the
peace, when words break it,"

The Need of Worship.

Humanity has need of worship and of
laws. Worship is needed in it's rela-
lions with the Divinity and with the
supreme principles of it's being; laws
are indispensable for its social exist
ence. Christ on the cross has estab-
llshed worship "in spirit of truth" has
completed and set the seal upon His
legislation Of justice and charity.
What there was OF the true and the
good before Christ was only a prepare
ton and a figurative symbol of Him
and His mission in the world fulfilled
On the cross. Indeed, His own life,
with the miracles and teachings, was
the continuous development of a plan,
beginning at Bethlehem and ending Oh
Calvary, where He fixed His throne.
From the moment Of Christ's death
nothing was left for humanity but the
evolution and the application of the
work accomplished by Him on the
cross.

God and the Church.

"The wish to spread the knowledge
of the love of Jesus Christ is a strong,
over-mastering impulse in every man.
in every woman, who really knows and
loves Him. The absence of any kind
of anxiety for the spread of the truth
implies actual spiritual death. The
man who knows the happiness of peace
with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ cannot but desire that other
men should share it, and this desire, in
it's higher, its stronger, it's more he
roic form, is one of the greatest gifts
of God to His Church. Churches are
generally living churches in exact ra-
ito of their missionary anxiety.

Eaptism Versus Baseball

The little town of Jamesburg, Kan.
is all agog. The town has the champion
baseball team in the county. and the
final game of the season was to have
been played on Friday. On the same
day the Baptist pastor of the town, who
had been holding red hot revival
meeting, was to baptiZe the converts.
Among them were five members of the
ball team. The ceremony was to have
taken place at the same hour that the
ball game was scheduled for, and as the
players could not do both things at the
same time they went to the minister
and asked him to postpone the bap-
tism until Saturday, so that they could
play the game. He did so, and the
good people OF the town are very much
put out.

without PRAYER.

I. modern writer on Christian ethics
says of prayer that, whatever else it
is-duty, privilege or spiritual exercise
it is also a necessary element Of the
spiritual life. When it stops entirely
spiritual life stops. To be without
prayer is to be without Cod" These
are incorporating assertions, but
they cannot be denied. They are ac-
cording to Scripture and to all human
experience. But what CHASTITY testi-
mony they bear against those who re-
strain prayer before God, who go to a
prayerless bed and rise to prayerless
days work, who are neither drawn by
10y nor driven by sorrow to the mercy
seat, but live from day to day and week
to week like the beasts that perish.

HnX to Snend Sunday.

Dr. Lyman Abbott, in answer to the
question, May I read Sunday news
paper?" says: Certainly, if that is the
best literature you can find to develop
reverence and faith and hope and love
if that queer modern melange of bal
games and politics and horse races and
theatrical criticisms and portraits OF
dancers and records of crimes and
criminalas with a little literary criti-
cism and occasionally religious edi.
torial thrown in to sanctify tiff that
is the best thing you can find to make
you more reverent, more hopeful more
full of faith, certainly read it. do not
find it so myself"

DR.. Theodore L. Cuyler struck the
keynote of the Christian life when he
said:
There is more pulp than pluck in a
great deal of what passes for piety. 1t
is an audacious attempt to get free
ride to heaven in drawing room car,
with plenty OF select company and good
fare or the road.
VIII DR.. A. be in his pulpit to-day?
VIII the music be UP to the mark? Is
it likely TO clear OF? Then I'll try to
so to church to-day" With such a So
liloquy on Sabbath morning, how much
grace is there likely TO be left for the
wear and tear of the week.
The piety that Christ smiles upon is
plety that will stand pinch and face
storm; that would rather eat an
honest crust than fare sumptuously on
unholy gains; that gladly gives up its
couch or ease to sally on its mission
among the outcasts; that sets its Puri-
tan face like flint against fashionable
sins. We talk glibly about taking up
cross" but a cross is intended for
somebody's crucifxion On Calyary's
cross we know full we'll who bled away
his precious life. On our cross self is to
be the victim. Loyalty to Christ often
demands the plucking out of the right
eye and the amputation of the right
arm. The sublime glory of Abraham S
offering really was that he was willing
to thrust the kni1s through the very
heart of self. o, it is not the taking up,
it is the giving up, that makes a strong,
athletic, heroic Christian.

Money and Happiness.

A valuable addition to the discussion
of the pertinent question, Does wealth
bring happiness" comes from the late
Cyrus w. Field. A few weeks previous
to his death he said to reporter:
Money is really worth only what it
will bring in the things we want; and
for that purpose, ten dollars day are
worth just about as much as one thou
sand dollars a day. In addition to this
there is only the gratiled pride which
arises from having made what men gen.

Tho Strain of the Crozs.

''If Jesus, amid the strain and weak
ness of the cross, when yielding to him
that had the power Of death, rescues q
soul from sin and hell, shall we hesitate
to come to Him, who is now exalted to
Gods right hand, Lord and Christ,
Prince and Savior, to give repentance
and remission of sins?"-Rev. w. w.
Taylor.

Our being is not quite buried in tor
per and darkness. Already it is burst
ing out into light and expansion. Full
it is of epochs and heroic crises. It
feels itself called upon to act and 10 adj
vance. And to this earth-strife that
presses upon us every day, to this SOL
emn waiting, to this dim bordering up
on the realm of boundless light, is
there not voice that says: Onward!

"The maelstrom attracts more notice

quiet usefulness in which God places
us."-John Hail.
