Holiness il Wholeness.

Religion is simply the laying of lite-each
thing and thought OF life as it comes-down
before the Lord. Sorrow, anguish, fear,
anxiety; repentance, renunciation OF evil,
longing for cleansing and absolution; hope,
motive, purpose, pleasure, success; little
thing-brought to Him, laid open before
Him, to help or heal, to use, to sanctify with
the Divine sympathy and permission-His
gladness to be acknowledged In our
gladness, His pity in our pain, His COM
mandment in our wish in our intent
this is all OF it. This is Moses in the
mountain; this 1t is to fall down before
the Lord 80 come," the beautiful Psalm
sings to US, ''let Us worship and fall down.
let US kneel before the Lord our Maker. FoJ
He is the Lord our God and We are the peo-
pie OF His pasture, and the sheep OF His
hand. O worship the Lord in the beauty OF
holiness" Wilderness let the whole earth"
our whole life in the earthly, stand in awe
of Him. For He cometh, for He cometh, to
Judge the earth. Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney, In

On the ether hand the average min

good things of this world he ever gets.

Speaking of bicycles reminds me,
that the astonished subjects of King
Menelik of Abyssinia nearly had fit
the other day when they saw the first
bicycle that was introduced into their
mountain land. An italian officer
charged with message, bestrode his
'tBike," hung out white flag and
dashed away at full speed. The effect
was astonishing. The mad pace of this
wonderful cavalier, and the unknown
appearance of his mount, swifter than
the wild asses of the Queen of Sheba,
paralyzed the people. His arrival was
announced to the General in command,
as the mysterious advent of a messen-

LUB FOR CHURCHG0ERS.
NOVEL IDEA IN GREATER NEW
YORK'S DEVELOPMENT.

Place Where Members of Congregation
ment" When Church is Over-A Wagon
Hospital With Chapel Attachment.
Especial New York Letter.)
The latest development of club life
in New York is what for the want of a
better name one may call club for
churchgoers.
The club house will be opened in
the fashionable part of Fifth avenue,
and ''rest and refreshment" can be OBJ
tanned both on Sundays and week days.
The venture is certainly bold one.
An idea so novel will doubtless be fol-
lowed by enterprising persons in the
, neighborhood of fashionable churches
in all parts of the metropolis One may
doubt, however, whether in most cases,
the spiritual good done by the church
service and the sermon will not be al
J together efaced by the subsequent
I chatter and gossip at the club.
Others think it will appeal to cynical
husbands (who as rule prefer the
home baptlst 10 accompanying CneA
wives to church) when they feel sure
that on coming out of the temple they
will be sure of ''little refreshment'
to offset q sermon, dull perhaps from
their point of view. At any rate the
results will be watched with interest.
Another novel idea in the church
line and one sure to be taken up here
eventually, is the wagon hospital"
which is about to be attached to rail-
way coaches in Belgium. AS the name
implies, it will beused for invalids and
will contain twenty-four beds, and var
ious surgical and medical appliances.
The first travellers to use the Belgian
contrivance will be the Pilgrims to
Lourdes. A little chapel is attached to
the carriage, where mass will be eel
ebrated with the special permission of
the Pope.
Some clergymen, being sure Of
heaven, want the earth, too. An ad-
vertisement T recently saw in West

God I'm All Nature,

George Fox. the Quaker, says that when
he was converted to faith in the divine love,
and went out into the fields, the whole world
around Mm glowed with new life The skies
were full Of divine presence, the air
breathed divine love. The birds in their
songs seemed to say, LET US praise God"
The same spirit in the Hebrew psalms calls
On the hills to clap their hands, and the
waters above and below to be thankful.
so is nature transhgured BY the soul,
and grows full Of life. We see God
in nature, and our heart drinks peace
from sky and land. An ineffable beauty
seems spread over the scene; and
we wist not what to say, for language cam
not utter it. There are days which are like
a concert or oratorio, when earth, air, trees,
sunshine, blue sky, grass. are all in the same
happy mood, all in tune together, mo discord
to jar the full harmony. In such days the
earth becomes Bible-the rocky strata Its
Book of Genesis, the singing OF the birds
it's Book Of Psalms, the air full OF sun
light and fragrance its Gospels, and the
changing lights, the advancing hours, Its
Book of Revelation, showing to us how God
is all in all.-James Freeman Clarke.

How Souls Are Buried.

Occasionally we read Of living creatures
being discovered In the heart OF stones and
In the centre Of old trees. Those living
creatures were organized for the open air,
some were made to bound freely over the
earth and others to sport on the wing over
mountain and mead, but there they have
been shut up for many year in some
When the laborer with his hammer smote
the root and the woodman with his axe
cut down the tree and thus opened their
graves, they leaped with renewed life into
their native spheres, there to enjoy the lit
tie heaven of their being. These creatures
allowed themselves to, be thus entombed.
Very slowly and very gradually did the
particles in the case both of the stone and
the wood build up their graves. At first,
it would have been easy for them to have
broken through; but as particle after par
Guilty increased, until at last their sepul-
chres became SC. firm that all effort on their
part to liberate themselves was utterly abor-
tive. These creatures typify to me the con-
dition of souls in this world. Fresh from
the Almighty they come hither, organized
for the atmosphere OF universal beneyolence,
to explore the spiritual regions Of truth, to
serve the interest Of the creation, and to
hold unbroken fellowship with the Infinite.
But like these creatures they allow them
selves to be buried by those elements Of
the world that gather around them. The
force Of carnality, self-seeking, and worldn-
ness begin at once silently, but unremitting-
ly, to build up the grave OF newborn
soul. At first 1t would be easy for the
young immortal to break through but the
forces go on until the grave is sealed and
the soul Is buried. The world Is filed with
human bodies, but where are the morally
Ii,,fn yvhA
inspired with heavenly love, directed to the
good of the universe and the glory Of God?
When, oh, when, shall the Gospel. hammer"
break these rocky graves, and its mighty
''axe' cleave these trees asunder, to disim-
prison these spirits, and give them the liberty
with which Christ makes His people free p
