THE GIFT OF CHRIST ALONE
In Him Only May Be Found the Per
feet Peace That Passeth
Understanding.

peace | leave with you. My peace
I give unto you; not as the world
giveth, give l unto you" All
men seek peace, but they seek
it where it is not to be found;
they seek it in the world, which is
ever promising; but can never give
us a solid peace; that is the gift OF
Christ alone, who reconciles man to
himself, subdues the evil, sets bounds
to the worldly desires, inspires the
hopes of eternal bliss, and gives the
Joy of the Holy Ghost, such a JOY as
persists in the midst of sufferingsi
and, flowing from an inexhaustible
source, becomes a perpetual spring
of delight, which the world cannot in.
terrupt nor diminish.
True peace is not to be found but
in the possession of God; and the
possession of God cannot be attained
but by faith and obedience; remove
all forbidden objects, renounce all I'M
lawful desires, cast off all earnest
care and anxiety, desire only God, and
then you shall have peace, such a
peace as the world shall no be able to
disturb. For what can trouble you!
Is it poverty, disgrace, disappoint-
ments, outward or inward crosses!
You should see all these in the hand
of God, as real favors, which he vouch
safes to give you a share in. Then the
world will have a new appearance to
you. and your peace will prove inviol.

H STORY.

WHEN ridings were brought to Nj
w n that Judas Maccabeus and
his followers were in the strong
places about Samaria he was glad.
"At last he is within my power"
he exclaimed, with savage joy.
Without any danger to myself | will
be able to compass him about and
crush him. This I will do on the Sab
bath day, for then will Judas and his
men be given to their devotions and
the observance of the ceremonies of
their laws"
Now there were certain Jews in
the camp of Nicanor, whom he had
made slaves, who were sore troubled
that Nicanor would give the Jews
battle on the Sabbath day, and they
besought him, saying:
20 destroy not so cruelty and bar
barously, but give honor to that day,
which he that seeth all things hath
honored with holiness above other
days"
DO tell me" rejoined Nicanor, with
e villainous chuckle. rs there a
Mighty One in heaven that hath COM
manded the Sabbath day to be kept"
There is in heaven a living God,
and mighty, who commander the
seventh day to be kept" was the ear
nest response of the Jews.
"And / also am a mighty one upon
earth" proudly declared Nicanor,
drawing himself up to his full height
nV,I l0n1ino with diSdnin ,1pan fha
poor Jews before him. "And because
/ am mighty upon the earth / com
mand to take arms, and to do the
kings business. I shall go against
Judas on the Sabbath day"
So in exceeding pride and haughti-
ness of spirit Nicanor set about car
rying his plan into effect, determined
to set up a monument of his victory
over Judas and them that we're with
him.
Now tidings of these things reached
Judas and his men, and great terror
seized upon the hearts of the latter.
SAD that Judas could scarce restrain
them from scattering and fleeing in
panic. And when he sought to en-
courage them with hope in God they
said:
at is all we'll and good to hope in
God. but what possible chance have
we in the face of SO mighty a host?'
Judas sought to encourage his men,
but all to no purpose, seemingly, and
at last, discouraged and saddened, he
withdrew to his rude couch within
the fastness of the rocks where he
and his men had taken refuge. There
his men found him in the morning in
deep sleep, and when they aroused
him with their alarmed cries that
even at that moment the long line of
the enemy's forces was drawing near
er and nearer across the valley, he
arose with a peaceful smile and the
light of confidence flashing forth from
his clear, steady eyes.
Fear not the coming of the heath
en- against us" he said with calm
reinsurance. Remember the helm
which in former times our people
have received from heaven. Even
nov we may expect the victory, for
aid will come to us of the Almighty"
YEA, but ven now the enemy is
upon ns,' his followers exclaimed, not
altogether treasured.

Had a Sure Thing.

An individual, well known on the
Berlin Bourse for his wit, one morn
ing wagered that he would ask the
same question of so different persons
and receive the same answer from
each. The wit went to first one and
then another, until he had reached the
number of so. And this is how he
won the bet: He whispered half au-
dibly to each: Il say, have you heard
that Meyer has failed?" What
Meyer?" queried the whole SO, n aft
err another, and it a decided that
the bet had been fairly won.

IN HE Infinite Wisdom.

There is no true rest of heart and
soul in time of trial until we have
come to look beyond causes and hui
man instruments and have seen the
hand of our God and Father appoint
ing all in his infinite wisdom and love.
Cease as far as possible from vain re-
grets and leave all calmly to him who
has promised that all things work to-
gether for good. To bring our hearts
to this may be the very meaning and
end of the dis~pensation.

Listen" he said, ~and I WIN tell
you of the golden sword which is the
sign OF victory. Last night in q vision
Onias, whom you all remember was
the high priest in former days, and
was a virtuous and godly man, came
before me and. lifting up his hands,
prayed for the whole body of the
Jews. The prayer ended, there APP
peared a man with gray hairs and ex-
ceeding glorious in countenance and
of a wonderful and excellent majesty.
Then spake Onias, saying:
This, Judas, is a lover Of the
brethren, who prayeth much for the
people, and for the holy city. 1t is
none other than Jeremias, the proph-
ct of God
"Thereupon Jeremias held forth his
right hand and gave to me a sword
of glittering gold, saying:
Take this holy sword, 0 Judas;
it is a gift to you from God. With
it thou shalt wound thy adversaries.
Then the vision was gone and the
next thing / knew you had come and
were rousing me from my slumbers."
Surely the Lord is with us" were
the reverent, subdued words Of the
assembled men.
YEA" rejoined Judas, eagerly, "the
golden sword is the sure sign Of vic
tory"
While he was speaking, Judas was
moving rapidly about among his men,
looking to their arms and the manner
of their organization. Then, rapidly
outlining the order of the conflict, he
said:
Let us not pitch camp before the
enemy, but let us courageously set
upon the enemy and manfully try the
matter of conflict, for our city, the
sanctuary and the temple are in dan
ger"
Now, as all stood %eXpectant and
ready for the conflict and the enemy
vas already come near, and the army
set in battle array, and the horsemen
set in long, sweeping wings, Judas,
seeing all this, stretched out his
hands towards heaven, and called
upon the Lord that worketh wonders,
knowing that victory cometh not by
arms but even as it seemeth good to
God. he giveth it to such as are o
thy. And this was the manner of his
prayer:
20 Lord, thou didst send thine an
gel in the time of Ezekias, king of
Judea, and didst Stay in the host of
Sennacherib an hundred fourscore
and five thousand. Wherefore 10Y
also, o Lord of heaven, send a good
angel before is for a fear and a dread
unto them; and through the might of
thine arm let those be stricken with
terror, that come against thy holy
people to blaspheme.'
Even while he was yet praying, Nj
canor and his army began the adj
vance with trumpets blowing and the
soldiers lifting their voices in the
battle song.
But Judas and his company en-
countered the enemy with invocation
and prayer, fighting with their hands
and praying unto God with their
hearts, so that they slew no less than
thirty and five thousand men; for
through the appearance of God in the
vision of the golden sword they we're
greatly cheered.
Now when the battle was done, re-
turning with joy, they knew that Nj
canor lay dead in his armor. Then
they made a great shout and noise,
praising God and saying:
THE golden sword! The golden
sword! 1t was indeed the symbol
and promise Of victory"
