OUR RELIGIOUS CONTEMPORA-
EIES.

How Do you like Suspicion" asked one
of Friendship. II have never met her, d"
replied Friendship.
The fact that a congregation listens very
respectfully does not necessarily mean
anything. What the wise preacher wants
is not re .pectful hearing but attentive
hearing. tt is an antiquated congregation
these days that doesn't know how 20 listen
to tho preacher. while being attentive t.
something else.-Christian Advocate.
We DO not know anything that requires
more tact and more tenderness than the
treatment Of old men by those who are
younger than themselves. Treat them as
those whose day is past. as those from
whom nothing may be expected in the
way Of labor. and you touch them where
they are peculiarly tender and sensitive.
Treat them as though you expected full
work OF them, n make nO allowance for
the infirmiues of age, and you wound
them again. In dealing with them, Scylla
is to be avoided on the one hand and
Charybdis on the other.-ReligiOu2 Herald.
1t IS a very striking fact that Paul
Kruger. the President Of the T|rausvaal
Republic in South Africa, received TIL
impressions that determined his religious
life from the ministry of an American
missionary. This was the Rev. Daniel
Lfndley. Of North Carolina, a graduate of
Union Theological Seminary, Virginia, In
1S31, who for fOrty-three years labOred
among the natives of South Africa. This
noble servant Of God died in New York,
September 8, 1880, seventy-nine years OF
ACCIDENTAL Presbyterian.
