Practice ever truth and uprightness
till the cold grave. and deviate not a
fingers breadth from Gods ways!
Then wilt thou, as on green meadow,
go through thy pilgrimage of life;
then cant thou, without fear and
dread. look death in the face; then
will the sickle and the pillow be light
in thy hand; then canst thou sing over
the water jug, as IL 1t were filed with
wine. But to the scoundrel is every
thing full of trouble. do what he may;
the devil drives him to and fro, leav-
ing him no rest. The beautiful spring
smiles not for him, the fields of corn
wave not with joy for him; he is a
lover of lies and deceit; he cares for
nothing but gold; the wind in the
wood, the leaf on the tree. whisper
horror to his heart. and he finds no
rest in the grave after life is over

sicians stood aside. and the ceremony
took place under the portal. the hess
ing only being given inside the
church. =
In the smaller cantons OF dsE(lhl
Switzerland, and TO lesser extent in
the others, the village dances are the
means of causing the commencement
OF courtship by the peasants. the
young man inviting the maiden of his
choice to dance with him a number
of times, and afterward accompanying
her to her home. In the near future
he must come to the light" as the
phrase runs, and call upon the parents,
when an engagement is the result, pro-
vided that there are no strong objec-
lions. The young man then gives the
young lady a comparatively valuable
present, which is shown as positive
proof that the pair is engaged. In re-
turn, and as a sort of security, the
girl or her parents makes a gift to the
young man, and wedding rings are pur-
chased. Announcement cards are sent
out, If the family has sufficient means.
In Sernfthal the bride left her par
ents' home the night previous to the
wedding, and, together with her trous-
seau. which had to include a bed and
a cupboard. went to the house of her
future husband. where she remained
until the next morning. when the
friends and relatives came to call the
couple to start for the ceremony. No
mention is made that the prospective
groom was ever missing.
At the present time it is quite the
proper thing for couples in the peas
ant class. and sometimes those of a
higher grade. to drive through the
town and country after the wedding.

II any one should give me dish Of
sand, and say there were particles Of
iron in it, I might look with my eyes
for them and search for them with
my clumsy fingers, and be unable to
find them; but let me take a magnet
and sweep through it, and how it
would draw to itself the most invisible
particles by the mere power of attrac-
tom The unthankful heart. like my
finger in the sand, discovers no mer-
cies; but let the thankful heart sweep
through the day. and, as the magnet
finds the iron. so it will find in every
hour some heavenly blessings; only
the iron in Gods sand is gold.-Oliver
Wendell Holmes.

The priests of an idol temple in
India offered Mahmoud, the Image
Breaker, a princely sum, If he would
spare their idol. He was deaf to
their entreaties, seized a hammer. and
struck the idol one blow. To his
amazement. from the shattered image
there rained down at his feet a show
er of pearls and other precious stones
treasures Of fabulous value, which
had been hidden within it, If he had
spared the idol he would have lost all
this wealth. So let us not spare our
idols. II we shatter them there will
rain about our hearts the very treas
ures of heaven. the gifts and graces Of
the Holy Spirit.
Charity begins at home. but IL It
remains there II is un-charitable.

"Be We Doors of the Word"

Many there be who stand Just out
side the kingdom of God waiting.
They have many things to commend
them. They are not wicked. They have
no vices. They are not unbelievers.
They are not ignorant of the funda-
mental teachings of Christianity, and
what is more. they give their assent to
them. They know the way, and have
heard the voice of the Lord calling
them. They have desire to be saved,
and still they wait. They cannot be
saved until they make up their minds
TO do the work of the Lord.
A Christian minister said to a lady
who is growing old. Why do you not
become a Christian and unite with the
church," Her answer was, at is an
important matter not to be entered
into without careful consideration"
True" said the minister, but il you
spend all your life considering the
matter. what will it avail?" The same
minister recently said to young man,
81. have come to invite you to join the
church and become a Christian" He
replied, II thank you for the invitation
and for the interest you take in me;
and / will think about it." He has
never gone any further. and never
will till he shall make up his mind to
do the will of God. Thousands stand
outside the gate thinking about it.
Good seed has been planted. The
harvest does not ripen because those
who have heard the Word are content
to be hearers only. at least for the
present. It is not for want of knowl-
edge or conviction or feeling, but for
want of action. Men and women are
not willing to do what they know to
be their duty. The prodigal thought
and felt and was sad. Deep down in
his heart he heard the voice which
said. Arise. and go home" He re-
sponded, saying. II will arise and go
to my father" And he arose and went
to his father. He became a doer OF
the Word. Nothing is done till this Is
done. Many persons have abandoned
evil habits. begun to attend worship
in the house of the Lord and to read
the Bible and contribute to the sup
port of the Gospel. They intend to
identify themselves with the cause Of
Christ. But what does ali this signify
IL they never act? Amiel says, THAT
which is not finished is nothing"
1t is not some great thing that is
required. One is not called on to
write a great book. to demonstrate
a difficult proposition In mathematics,
or to execute a difficult piece Of music.
1t is all contained in one word Sub
NIT to God. Obey God. Be doer Of
the Word. Every one can do 1t.
Every one ought to do 1t. No one can
be right without it.

A Passion for Forgiveness.

The statement is not too strong that
"the passion for forgiveness is univer-
sal to religion" Not only are prayer
and hymns in the higher types Of re-
lIgion instinct with the desire for for
giveness. II is also pathetically ex-
pressed in primitive religions by sacri.
fee and offering. It is found every
where in the literature Of religion.
What is meant by the desire for for
giveness? 1t means that we desire to
stand on the same terms with God as
IL we had never done wrong. To con-
sciously receive the forgiveness of
sins Is TO receive and retain the i'm
pressions upon our Utmost souls that
God loves us and gives us his smile
and peace. though we have been trans
