Tto Honey and the Gold. There is no way of feeding upon the Word except by thinking well over it Perhaps no learned scholar ever attained a deeper insight into the real spirit of God’s truth than a l*oor widow, who, in her penary, allowed herself still the one luxury of a half-hour’s caudle light after her toilsome day was done, that she might read her preekms Bible. Ex perience had taught her hew far it would burn in a half hour. So it was her custom to light it for a few mo ments, and read such a |notion as she thought she could remember, aud then blow ont her light, and think it over. Ho she continued to do until the mark on her candle was reached. Barely such meditations, joined with humble prayer, could not fail to extract the pure honey from this precious honeycomb. Tbe joy of that evening feast more than made amends for all the day’s ills. Sbe lived the troths she had thus made her own, and was truly said to be “mighty in the Scriptures,* Another had walked by tbe steady light of her old familiar Bible for a long life time, found that her failing eyesight could serve her no longer.

We can never gain the gospel gold except we delve for it. Careless reading over a chapter or two will never secure it. Better one verse with meditation, than the whole book read thonghtles&ly. Pillow Prayers. He who knows nothing of pillow prayers Is ignorant of one of the sweetest modes of prayer practicable on earth. The day with its engross meuts beiug gone, it is a most favor able time for the gathering In of onr thoughts upon ourselves—our sins, onr wants, fears and hopes, and then tbe turning of them up towards heaven. This is what the Psalmist is apparently referring to in his words, “When I remember thee upon my lied, and meditate upon thee in my night watches.* That to uttered many a pillow pray er is a thousand-fold more than probable. “1 have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the uight.” “I l»revented the dawning of the morn mg aod cried.” Those cries were prayers before the dawn of day. If these prayers of the pillow, however, be begotteu only of sheer evening cloth, we may say of them that they are “bastards, and not sons.” But if they are the legiti mate children of wickedness, exces give weariness, sickness, or other similar circumstances, then they are of the tree honse aud lineage of oocitinne in yoar petitions for yonr heaven, comiug down in kindred- ship all the way from Bethel, where the overjaded Jacob had his angelic vision on his pilloar of stones. Many a timid boy at boarding- school, with boisterous room-mates family and others. This is a stand ing exhortation to piety, a constant invitation to your children to devote their hearts aod lives to the service of God. A pioo# father, whose children were all early converted, when asked by hi# son why be never talked with bis children about their conversion, roid that “to had known much said by parents whose example hindered the force of their conversation, and to preferred that his children might learn from his example tto reality of religion; aod they were always remembered in family prayers.* The consistent example of piety of those parents rendered their prayers effec- tnal aod availing in the early con version of their children. The family thus became a church in a honse. This strongest of associations be doubly ao when Christian about him, has kept alive his prised communion with his Father on high, aud so, perhaps, saved his soul by means of his silent pillow prayers.
