SOME METHODIST SE4RINE.S IN LONDON

Westminster Abbey holds much
that thrills the visitor. One gazes
with awe and pride upon the walls of
the Poets Corner. where sculptured
monuments commemorate the lives of
the great ones of our race. But when,
regretfully leaving that interesting
section, the visitor of Methodist
persuasion" strolls down the South
Aisle, and Unexpectedly comes upon
the beautiful mural tablet erected to
the memory of the Wesleys. it is like
getting home.
I can think OF no more apt COM
parison than that feeling we all ex-
perience when disaster passes by our
loved ones. We feel sorrow for the
victims, but, oh, such gratitude that
the calamity has come no nearer. And
try rs we may to reach an appropriate
depth OF sympathy, the emotion we
feel Is, after ALL Of the head rather
than of the heart.
So In the Abbey the pride and the
interest we feel Is remote and ex~
ternal until we come upon something
of our very own. Then, indeed, our
heartstrings are touched. when we
witness the honor which the world
has paid to the revered founder of
ou rbeloved Church. Nothing in the
Poets Corner, nothing IN the whole
Abbey. Is finer or more beautiful than
the Wesley tablet.
In material and in design and ex-
ecution this memorial Ia most chaste

pie, classical in form, and OF the pro-
portion of about two feet in width by
seven and half in height. At the
top, occupying the space correspond

BY CHARLES DICKENS

The pure, the bright the beautiful
That stirred hearts in youth,
The impulses to wordless prayer
The dreams Of love and truth;
The longing after something lost
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things never die.
The tiYnld hands stretched forth to aid
a brother in his need
A kindly word in griefs dark hour
That proves friend indeed;
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
Whsn Justice threatens high,
The sorrow OF contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory of a cIasping hand,
The pressure OF kiss,
And all the trifies, sweet and fraih
That make up loves first bliss;
II with n firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high.
Those hands have cIasped those lips have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as it fell;
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel, but never tell
The hard repuise that chills the heart
Whose hopes were bounding high.
In unfading record kept
These things shall never die,
Let nothing pass. for every hand
Must find some work TO DO
Lose not chance to waken love
Be firm. and just. and true;
SO shall light that cannot fade
Beam thee from high, ,N.
And angel voices say to thee
These things shall never die.

THE EASTER HOPE AND LIFE.
ny REV. C. r. HERRILL.

eternity. Christmas, Good Friday.
Easter. These are the three great
Christian festivals. In them the soul
finds its best. They are windows
through which the redeemed spirit
looks out to a larger, fuller life. They
are the silver trumpets of the eternal
temple whose sweet notes tell more
of a higher and holfer life.
The incarnation-Em "God
with us" Jesus in his incarnate life
is 'the human life Of God" God be-
comes Child. The Child becomes. a.
God. This is the story OF the incar-
nation. The crucifixion reveals the
love of God 1.-The highest arch angel
never saw so much of God before"
Jesus died for us. He is the Saviour
of men. Easter is the day of hope.
On this glad day light breaks from
the tomb. The empty grave points to
the open heaven. 'He is risen," is
the glad song of angels and OF men
Heaven and earth rejoice In the light
of the glad Easter morn. Easter
means a larger and fuller life.
How beautiful Ia the springtime!
New life Is everywhere---on the hills
and in the valleys. The wild flowers
steal into bloom. The birds on light
wings sing their songs of cheer. How
golden Is the sunshine. How sweet
Is life! All this Is q parable, bear
ing to US sweet spiritual lesson.
Easter means THE Springtlme of the
Soul" The sins of righteousness has
brought in a new day" Hope makes
bright the path of man. "He is risen,''
is the song of praise. Tt is the note
of victory. 1t brings in the souls
jubilee. 1t points to the radiant life
above.
Christ meets all the needs of our
nature. For the body, food; for the
eye. light; for the ear. sounds; for the
mind. facts; for the soul, faith; hope,
love. Nor is God meagre in His supply
to meet the needs of His child. There
Is aworld of light for the eye; a world
of sweet sounds for the ear: the never
failing haryests for the appetite, For
the soul there is God and goodness,
holiness and heaven. Easter opens
the gate of the soul to the light of
the Eternal Day. Easter is the voice
of God in spirit of man, calling him
from the seen to the unseen; from
the perishable to the imperishable:
from the unregenerate to the re-
deemed life.
The perfection of God is eternal pos
session The perfection of man Ia
eternal progression. We cannot think
OF anything good that we can add to
God. He eternaIly possesses all vir-
tues and glories. This is the perfec-
ton of God Man with the Easter
JOY in his heart and the Easter hope
in his soul will forever go on towards
God and goodness. The grave will not
break off his eternal march towards
the divine. cit is better farther on"
From glory to glory" Christ stands
by the open grave, and points the
ransomed spirit to the ascending
heights. A redeemed soul in heaven.
in the company of angels and arch
angels, will eternally progress towards
the divine goodness and glory
Through the passing cycles the saints
will ever know more of God; they will
forever love God more; they will for
ever be more like God.

Christ's attitude towards vice has al
ways been one of sternest rebtfke, but
his sympathy with the vicious has been
indescribably tender.
Vice is caused by a disregard of the
laws of God and by extreme indiffer-
ence to the teachings of Jesus. 1t is
one of the proofs of the genuineness
of Gods word that when the laws
were given upon Sinai great princi-
pies were stated which touched the be-
ginnings of every sin that is today
working havoc with the human race.
Whether it be gilded vice, which is
practiced by the rich, or repulsive sin,
which is INDUCED in by the poor, or
hideous transgressioB. which is found
in the lives Of multitude of people

who care for neither man nor God. at
it's root 1t is alt alike. In itself II
merits the severest condemnation
which 1t one day will receive.
The individual renting his building
for purposes of vice Is not Christian,
although he may be church member
The citizen countenancing sin Tor
personal gain denies Jesus Christ IN
his attitude
But the sinner. whoever he may be.
and however far away from truth and
righteousness he may be, Ia still an
object of divine mercy. And IL Christ
were acknowledged in the city and
carefully followed, vice would find its
cure and the vicious a way OF escape
