"In God We Live. "

BY creation we are Gods. Called into
existence by the fiat of His power, He owns
US by a natural claim that nothing but an
utilization can annul. And not less by
preservation than by origin are we Gods
in formal sense. What He has done for
Us in the continuance rs we'll as in the con-
ferring Of life, establishes His natural pos
session Of US. As at first, so at every SUBJ
sequent moment, He confers existence, and
If He should cease to do so for an instant,
We. not seli-supported any more than SELF
derived, should that instant drop into alb
solute death. 1t Is OF His ordaininy that we
enjoy all the means OF life-air, light,
food, for the lower, and vitality and inspira-
lion for the higher being. 1t is the same
merciful Hand that "te.npers the wind to the
shorn lamb" the same willing Ear that
"heareth the young ravens cry" the Same
benignant Ego that "noteth the sparrow's
fall" that Is, also, outstretched for the
supply Of our wants; thst Is attentive to our
calls, that Is watchful Of all our interests. It
Is not mere figure of speech. penned first
by the ancient poet and quoted afterward by
Paul. with evident appreciation, that Sin
God we live and move and have our being"
1t is literal truth which We ought both to
recognize and feel

Christ's Glorious Success.

Rightly understood any movement in
cludes its beginnings as we'll as its fruition,
and in estimating the success OF Christianity
it would be unfair not to look back to it's
origin as we'll as to include its present supre-
macy. Thus regarded, Christ's success in
winning the affection and confidence, the rev.
srence aud the penitent devotion OF men Is
seen to be phenomenon more striking and
more splendid than anything else in human
history, perhaps in the history Of the whole
universe. We can form some conception Of
It already. but when We come, by and by,
into the divine presence, and are instructed
about the divine plans and how they have
been fulfilled, then 1t will be apparent to US,
as 1t cannot be here, how great, how sub
5tantial and how glorious was the success
Of Christ in His redeeming work. a.. ..

soldiers Must BE Made in Battle.

1t is only in strong weather that a man
gets faith. Faith Is not an attainment that
droppeth like the gentle dew from heaven.
1t generally comes In the whirlwind and the
storm. Look at the old oaks: how Is It
that they have become so deeply rooted In
the earth? Ask the March winds and they
will tell you. It is not the April shower
that did 1t, or the sweet May sunshine, but
1t was March's rough wind, the clustering
month Of old Boreas shaking the trees to
and fro and causing the roots to bind
themselves around the rocks 30 must It
be with US. We don't make great soldiers
In the barracks at home; they must be
made amidst flying shot and laundering
cannon, Storms and .tempests are the
things that make men tough and hardy
mariners. They see the works Of the Lord
and His wonders In the deep. So with
Christians. Great-faith must have great
trials. Mr.. Great-heart would never have
been Mr.. Great-heart il he had not once
been Mr.. Great-trouble. Valiant for-truth
would never have put to flight those foes
and have been so valiant, II the foes had
not first attacked him. So with us: we must
expect great trouble before we shall attain
to much faith.-Spurgeon.

It was / O'Clock in the morning, cold and

which had just been closedfor the night "
A late pedestrian who had observed oil
three approached. The saloon keeper,
whom he knew by sight. remarked casui
ally:
''There's trade headed for my place. I'll
have to 90 over and open up."
Still the distracted womaD's pleadings
and the mans churlish replies could be
heard, but 1t made no difference to thesa
loon keeper. Soon a light was burning
over his bar. .tr

the girl, crying as II her heart would
break, burst out OF the place, dlsheveied,
and ran up the street. After a little the
