God Must BE An in All.

It is when Gods glory Is reflected
back to Him, not merely from 9 king
dom of ideas, but from a kingdom OF
actual spirits, a kingdom of souls, an
united together under Christ, and all
witnesses, not merely Of the eternal
power and godhead Of God, but also
of His saving grace, and then only,
that the divine ~blessedness becomes
in the full sense perfect. It then for
the first time becomes perfect, in go
far as 1t is the will Of God not merely
to rest in His eternal majesty, for In
this the Triune God was able to rest
independently Of the world before the
foundations Of the world were lads!
but to rest and be blessed in the COM
pleted work of grace and love, in the
glorious liberty Of the childrenrof
God - a good which will not be
reached until in the words OF the
Apostle Paul, God shall be all IN
ALL" Then first, In the new econ
omy, in the new heavens and the
new earth, will the glory Of the Trt-
une God be perfectly reVealed-the
glory which is reflected. from His per-
feet communication of love to the
creature.-Martensen.

Problem of the Apples.

Two boys had sixty apples. Each
had thirty. One boy sells his apples
at three for one cent, thereby getting
ten cents. The other sells his apples
at two apples for n cent, thereby
getting fifteen cents. Both will get
twenty-five cents. Now, if both boys
combine their stock and sell their ap-
pies at five for two cents they will
only get twenty-four cents. The ques-
ton is, why in the first sales do they
get twenty-five cents for their stock
by selling them at five for two cents,
and in the next instance get only
twenty-four cents for the same num-
Der Of apples at the same price?-M.

True Liberty.

Being made free: from sin, ye became the
servants of righteousness.-Rom 6tl8.
st. Paul speaks OF the Romans az
of those who had been servants of
sin, but had been delivered OF thfa4
servftude and brought to the glorious
liberty Of the, children OF God. All
that are born OF the flesh are natura1-
9Iy servants of sin. To acknowledge
that is the beginning Of true liberty.
Owing to the fact that the seryitude
of sin wraps itself in sthe garb Of Ab-
erty 1t Is not so easy to distinguish
true and false liberty, and many are
deceived by looking only at the out
ward appearance.
True liberty is righteousness. Sin
is Offering all the Kingdoms of the
world and the glory of them to those
who will fall down and worship 1t,
and many a miserable slave of sin
who under its Incorporating styran-
nyFf1nds no time to seek the glorious
liberty of the children Of God thinks
himself free and Independent because
sin allows him to SOW to the flesh, to
follow his natural inchnations and
passions unrestrained.
Though there Is no law given to the
justified, his love will limit the exer4
measure than could ever be attempt
ed by law. Many a thing which no
law forbids, which he Is at liberty
to partake, a Christian will not touch.
because in his individual easel might

lever. Christian liberty is not a
license toAdo what we please, but a
desire to do what is expedient.
Nothing may hinder us from going
into a coal mine dressed all In white,
but how we will come out. again lisa
different question. Likewise, MOTH
ing may hinder us to walk in the
counsel of the ungodly and stand In
the way Of sinners, CARRIED in the
white robe of Christ's righteousness,
but who can tell how we VIII come
back? That's why st. Paul advises,
See that ye walk circumspectiysiiot
as fools, but as wise" lest the golden
crown of freedom be transformer into
the iron chain Of sin. But where do
we find true liberty in this sin bound
world? The greatest Iiberator and
Emancipator, says, IF the Son, there
fore, shall make you free, ye shall be
free indeedln In Him who took upon
Him the form Of a servant, whoybe-.
came obedient unto death; even the
death of the cross, that He: might de-
liver us from all sins, from death and
from the power Of the devil, we find
true liberty, and the more we become
like Him the moreswe become free
from sin and servants Of righteous
ness. 81 EHtf a3

Above mans wondering head
And tongues of growing things repeat
The blessing she hath said

She heals the wounds we could not curt
OF their long lingering pain,
she stills the sorrows we had thought
Would rend our hearts IN twain, :
And when for us the day is done,
Her eyes their vigil keep,
Her brown arms fold us to her heart,
And sheltered 30 we sleep.
