The Heathen Difference.

One OF the noblest effects OF Christianity
has been the emancipation OF woman. The
other has been the sanctiflcation of child
hood. In the very empire into which that
Saviour entered. who was to be at once
its Reformer and its Destroyer, woman was
degraded withc ut pity and despised without
hope. A great woman was generally more
cruel tyrant or more carnal character than
q great man In the Roman world. The beau
tiful Cleopatra and the lovely Messalina
have descended in history rs incarnations OF
the lowest infamy. Herodlas WAS the chief
woman in Syrian society in the days OF
Jesus. and Herodias was simply tigress In
human guise. Good women there were, but
the world round them was an inferno for
women. And men In power, IL not, Chris
tians, have always been either the profigate
puppets or the hard-hearted oppressors OF
women. Antony would have ruled the
world had he not been ruled by the beauti-
full Egyptian queen. Napoleon wanted to
reduce French women to mere family incubat-
ing machines. Women as a rule do not yet
know what they owe to Christ. If they
did. such teaching as Mrs. Besant's
would be impossible, for 1t would find no
followers; and IDgersoll's flippant hash Of
Hume aud Bradlaugh would never be re-
hearsed in female ears when he lectures.
There is not single COUNT y on earth where
woman has any rights Of her own excepting
where the Gospel has flung the light OF hope
on her path. .Unchristianized lands are
simply lands OF women's wrongs.

Fcudalfsirl In Hungary.

Inconceivable as the anachronism
may seem to the Western mind, the
agrarian system of Hungary has not
yet issued from the fe dal form. The
Hungarian farmer of to- ~ is virtually
a serf, bound to his master, the
hereditary owner of the soil which
the peasant tills, by the tangible tie
of personal liability. The Hungarian
feudal lord of the end .of-the-century
is entitled to fifty days labor from
each male adult who dwells on his
land. The seignior is at liberty tc
demand this feudal contribution at
whatever time may seem best to him,
with the frequent result that the
tenant farmer is employed in gather
ing his masters harvests while his
own crops are rotting after rainfall,
or are being consumed by an early
frost, or suffer damage from one OF
more of tho many possible causes
which render destructive the slightest
delay on the part of the harvester in
gathering the fruits of years labor.

WorRlliD by Service.

There is a legend in the Greek church
about her two favored saints-St. Cassianus,
the type OF monastic asceticism, individual
character, and st. Nicholas, the type OF
genial, active. unselfsh, laborious Christi
anity.
st. Cassanus enters heaven and Christ
says to him:
;.what hast thou seen on earth, Cassi-
anus?"
II saw" he answered. ia peasant foun-
dering with his wagon In a marsh"
"Didst thou help himT
sNo."
why not?"
~ was coming before Thee" said Cassi-
anus, land was afraid OF soiling my white
robes"
Then st, Nicholas enters heaven, all COW
cred with mud and mire.
'Why 80 stained and soiled," st. Nicho-
las?" said the Lord.
II saw q peasant houndering In the
marsh" said st. Nicholas, 'and put my
shoulder to the wheel and helped him out"
blessed art thou" answered the Lord;
'thou didst we'll; thou didst better than
CusSiannS."
And He blessed st. Nicholas with fourfold
approval.
1t is like the legend OF one who saw IN
angel writing in brook the names OF those
who loved the Lord. and he said: Il pray
thee have my name written among the lovers
Of my fellow-men." The angel wrote. and
vanished. The next night he came again
with great awakening light. and showed
the names OF those whom God had blest;
and. 10, this mans name read above all the
rest. One thing, my friend, is certain-the
more truly We love the Lord the more
thoroughly shall We love and serve our fe)-
low-men. Canon Farrar.

A Vision of Judgment-worship by Ser

fering-Souree of Lovely Character.
I slept-and started broad awake with fear !!
My room was light as in the MONDAY clear,
And 10! an angel with look severe!
In awful silence he did then unroll
My past before me like un open scroll
The Day OF Judgment overlook my soul!
"Have so deeply sinned3" family cried;
"Waste-waste is crime!" the accusing Voice
replied;
"Look on the record, and thyself decide"
Then, sef-convicted, weeping and abased-
"Alas! my needless YOUTH cried in haste,
"When all life's golden moments ran to
waste!"
"Not so!"-grare voice that my rash thought
condemned
"Youths folly oft is wisdom in the end
'Twere i'll to hoard what God has given to
spend!
"Look over again upon thy later days
When trials came thou shouldst have
turned to praise,
And sorrow sent to teach thee heavenly
ways!
"Those priceless pains those sacred,
stricken years!
How thou hast sqIandered them too we'll
appears-
In useless protests and unworthy tears"
The final words died on some far-off shore,
And all was dark, and alone once more
And broad awaks-had 1 but dreamed be-
fore?
warning dream! o timely, saving fear!
Even loss is welcome now, and hardship
dea-.
Angel Of Judgment! till thou dost appear.
