CHARLES LEE.
Ian MacIaren on Marriage.

Why should so sacred a matter as
marriage be universally the subject Of
foolish jesting and annoying pleasant
ries e? There is a wide difference be-
tween the legitimate JOY and light
heartedness natural to the happy cir
cumstances and the irreverent and
frivolous attitude which DR.. John
Watson condemned in a recent ad-
dress at marriage service in England.
Reminding the company of the So
lemnity of the occasion, he is report
ed to have said that "if any person
could speak lightly Of marriage he
was cursed with an impure frivolity
and was a profane person. No one
ought to be able to think of marriage
without Just and tender awe. 1t is
more than a social partnership; it is
the union of two souls, union so in
tertwined, so spiritual, so irrevocable
that it is the very sign and picture Of
the Heavenly Bridegroom and the
bride for whom he died" These are
strong WORDS, but surely they are also
just. They carry rebuke not only
for those who marry thoughtlessly or
from unworthy motives, but also for
those responsible for the impertinent
comments and the teasing and cbaf-
ing to which betrothed lovers are sub
jected, as well as for the embarrassing
practical jokes which are not an un-
common feature of wedding festivities.

THE CITY.

They do neither plight nor we'd
In the city Of the dead,
In the city where they sleep away the hours
But they lie. while DER them range
Winter-blighi and summer change.
And hundred happy whsPerings of flowers
No, they neither wed plight
And the day IS like the night
For their vision IS Of other kind than ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh
In that burgh Of by and by
Where the streets have grasses growing cool and long
But they rest within their bed
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid,
Deemng silence better far than sob or song.
No. they neither sigh nor sing.
Though the robin be a-wing.
Though the leaves of autumn march million strong
There is only rest and peace
In the City Of Surcease
From the faiIings and the wailings meath the sun.
And the wings Of the swift years
Beat but gently DER the bers.
Making music TO the Sleepers every one.
There is only peace and rest;
But to them it seemeth best.
For they lie At ease and know that life is done

Sam Jones's Plain Talk.

| will say thing now, and Will
say it loud enough for all the earth to
hear me. We have got men that won't
pray in their families. Do you want
to know why that is? 1t is because
they don't pray anywhere. Hear me.
I want to be understood now, if you
don't understand anything else to-
night. The man who maintains secret
prayer will pray anywhere in Gods
world that you call on him. You say
the reason you do not pray in your
family is just because you are timid.
That is lie. 1t is because you are
mean, and you know it. Talk about
great, big fellow, with whiskerS SIX
inches long, who will so down on
change and talk bigger than any man
in the pit, and he won't 60 home and
pray with his children. You know
l would II" he says, "if I were not so
timid." Look here. If man doesn't
pray in his family, there is but one
reason for it, and that is because he
doesn't live right before his family. I
know what l am talking about. |
recollect once since | was converted |
got up one morning out of humor, and
l said some things l had no business
to say. l had the dyspepsia, they
said. 1t was meanness. Every time
fellow gets his meanness off, it is
dyspepsia. Do you hear that, wife ?
As l said, I was talking right smart
around that morning, and directly,
Just before the breakfast bell rang,
wife got down the Bible l looked at
it, and l would have given $50 that
morning if I had some preacher there
to have prayer in the family for me.
Oh, how I hated to get down after
talking that way. Brother, when you
get to living right before your family,
it is Just as easy to pray before them
as it is to sit down and eat before
them. If | didn't have sense enough
to pray in my family, I'll tell you
what | would do i would go and
hire me an old colored man that wife
and children had confidence in, and |
would pay him by the month to come
and hold family prayer for me. l
would.
Talk about man being religious
who does not pray in his family
Ridiculous l found out long ago that
religion is a good thing to have, and
father who becomes religious wants
his wife and children to have all the
good things in the world and the
next thing you hear from him he will
be leading in prayer and demonstrat-
ing his religion in his family, and they
will fall into line with him. Brother,
if you don't pray in your family, go
home and begin tonight. Doyou hear
that Begin tonight.
"Pray without ceasing." How many
people in this house hold family prayer
and go to the theatre? How many
people in this house that pray in their
families, play cards in their families?
How many people in this house who
give wine suppers pray at night and
morning with the children? All,
brother, those things won't mix, and
you needn't tell me they will. They
won't. Pray in your families. like
family prayer, and I can't get along
without it at my house.
