?k ^Mutait d? JFodfo o O O RELIGION, MORALS AND PHiLQSQ Rev. C. C. BROWN, S?itor. THE TEMPEST. Of this sweet old bailad of the Tempes Fields, one caa sever weary. There is ? thing rn the little daogmer s whisper ? all human philosophy. We were crowded in the cabin, Not a son! "would care to sleep It was midnight on the waters, And a storm was on the deep-. 'Tis a fearful thing in winter To be shattered in the blast, And to hear the rattling trumpet Thunder, "Cutaway the mnst.?' So we shuddered there ia silence For the'stoutest held their breath, "While the hungry sea was roaring And the breakers talked with dca' As thus we sat in darkness. Sach one busy in his prayers ""We are lost V tue Captain shouted As he staggered down the stairs. Bat his little daughter whispered. As she took his icy hand. "Isn't God upon the ocean Just the same as- on the land ?" Then he kissed the little maiden, And we spoke in better cheer. And we anchored safe in harbor When the moro was shining clear. The Faith cf pur Fathers, . -__ We are not to bc counted ame tire timorous ones who are atw; feigning to weep over the apost. of the Church; We see no ground great alarm. We do not beli< that thc Christian organizations to-day are any farther from : truth than they have ever been, fact vre believe that lhere is a mi eulighied apprehension of the Ser tures, at this day, than at any prec< ing time. So we shall be very slow join in the doleful chorus with thc who arelamenting Zion's downfall, a {hat too, when there is no sign approaching ruin. And vet we must admit that thc was something in the faith of c . fathers concerning the Bible whi is lacking among us. Their rev? euee for the Bible amounted almost a superstitious dread, and the boo itself-not only the coutcuts-was holy thing. They believed the Bil had. a kind of talismanic pow( and was a good spirit to one wi properly revered it. It was ti first and last source of appeal, ai no one rebelled against its verdie and that, tco, at a time when th< imbibed doctrines which have sim been exploded, and are despised ; TLDSCnptaral and untrue. This peculiar faith of theirs mac them love to read the Bible, and rec it, they did. Many of them believe God wrote it with his own finge every word was God's word. Thc saw there, as they believed, ti mind of Jehovah. Even when Pal wrote to Timothy, and asked him ? bring his cloak and bocks to Rom* our good and holy fathers of biesse memory believed he was wiitin God's word, and tho message wa good for their souls. And this reverence for the Bibi as a book-a bock very poon understood-made them more auston to abide by its teachings. The said it was right to "love you - enemies j" right to "bless them tho curse you ;7; right to "do uni others as you would have them d unto you"-all was right just oceans God said so." This was a blesse faith and a holy practice. As muci as we fall short of it just so much ar wc behind the ago cf our fathers ii real genuine godliness. Their faith about the church, too was peculiar. "I love thy Church O God/ could be heard ringing fron every lip, and echoed from oven life. In that day churches wer< far apart. To attend a religion: gathering, it was neccCssary to travo hundreds of miles, fa some instances and that on horseback, willi stream: to ford, and dark forests io traverse. And yet they went, these sturdy ones, and their mectincrs were like the yearly gathering of Israel abotii the towers of Zion. They felt thal they were coming into au almos phere of spiritual blessing, and feel ing thus they were already blessed. A sermon three hours loner suited their fancy, and they revelled in th* preached word. Then came thc good old hymns ol Wesly and Newton ami Watts and Beddome-hvmns we seldom hear now-"When I can read my title clear "On Jordan stormy banks I stand;" "In ali my Lord's appointed ways -hymns whose meaning rose like a fountain in their souls, and gushed and flowed to the glory of God. Thc old Camp Grounds and Association halls rung with this praise, aad day waned into night while yet our fathers worshipped God. '.Their pure thoughts tvcr? borne. Like fumes of sacred iu<:e:jsu o'er the clouds. And wafted thciicoon ange.***whigs, thr\> ?vay? Of light VJ the bright Source o fa II." Wc arc ready, then, ?-? say, the former years were better than the present:' Nu, they were not. Along witii ail this beautiful devotion, they yet, in most important respects, fail? ed to fulfil the law of God. it was a part of their creed that their religion should cost them nothing. When they discovered that Ged reputed one-tenth of tito ycatiy income o?' the Israelites for his own; they either ignored the fact or explained it away. They "offered to the Lord that which j cost them noth?ng." They worship? ped iu shantee*, or under booths, and were too parsimonious to make them- ! selves even comfortable. It ii scened to cuter their minds that could honor God by building a spectable place of worship T ministers, of whom thc New T< merit had said, "The laborer is wo of In's hire/' received no compc t?on. lt was required of them they should labor for their bread other men in thc various avocat of life, and on Sunday they hud to open their mouth, and God w lill it. Moreover, they did noti for the dissemination ef the Gos They did not believe much in S' ina: the truth abroad over the v world, and what their excuse was difficult to ascertain. There are n converts to "Christianity now in years than there were in either of the eighteenth century. Colic and institutions of learning- were 1 wise ignored, and the highest ord ry training was only an "old-? school education.'"7 We are not certain that the tures of the two periods are fa drawn: but we have tried to givi just representation. If we have ? cceded, these last years have the vantage. Let us exercise oursei to add to our other opportunities ; excellencies, all that was beaut and holy and true in the faith of fathers, and then we shall live in golden age of the world. Birth and Ereeding. -0 We copy ibo following timely : suggestive remarks from aa address the Kev. Dr. Coliycr, delivered on occasion of the 21st Anniversary Es ciscs of the Eastman Business Coll at Poughkeepsie. New York: It is a grea: thing fur a man to well-born, for, as the proverb runs, j cannot make a whistle out ora pi tail. Oily when Mr. Lincoln said t once in a speech at the West, an in^ tous Yankee scut him sueh a whistle the m.'Xt mail. Still, this is the tn to which the proverb points, that wi we call good blood is on? condition success in life : and this, I think, 1 Coll vcr clan can claim. But we carn claim -it as the Adamses can, and I Qumciis, and the fine old families this river, for we <ro back to th-,- sra fathers and grand mothers, and lin we stop ; and both the men were sa ors, and both were lost at sea. what I meau,by being well born is th that my own father was one of thc m< healthful men ? ever knew, and r mother one of the most healthful womc and he was brown and she wa? a blonc My father's eyes were dark and so and my mother's eves were blue a: blended with gray, and could snap fi and make things boom. And the fal i ly nose juts out strong, and match the family chin ; and as I heard 51 Emerson say once, there is a great de in noses. Wy father was as good a smith ever stood before an anvil, and that w ali. He had no other faculty, exce that of striking a tune in a little mee icg-house; and you were not sure wh the tune was going to be until he g to the end of the first line. But nr moLber was a woman of such facuir though she could hardly read or writ that I believe if she had been orden to take charge of a 70-gun ship ar carry it through a battle, give ber tin to learn thc ropes and she would do i She had in her, also, wells of poesy ar humor, and laughter so shaking tb thc tears would stream, down her fae and a deep, abidiug tenderness like th; of the saints. And this they had i coarmoa, they were as free from infei tions as thc stars. The most wofi fevers would break out in thc cottage all about us and decimate the neigbboi and the\'were always on hand to hel| going and coming as thc sunshine goc and comes, never thiuking of changin their garments. Yet they never caugl a fever, nor did any of their childrer or feel the slightest toucb of fear. An this is hov/ I come to the guess that VJ werc well born. They were so health and not like ia like, as the poet say* but in difference, and the mother wo beyond ali question tho better half i those Suer powers on which the childrc have to draw for their chance in life Moral, don't marry a doll. Seising Opportunities, A lady once writing to a young ma: in the navy, who was almost a stranger thought, '.Shall I close this as anybod< weald, or shall I say a word for rn; Master ; and, lifting up her heart for ; moment, she wrote, telling bim that hi constant change of secue and place wa au apt illustration of the word, "lien we have no continuing city/' and askei if be could say, "I seek one to come.' Trembling she folded it, and sentit off Back caine the answer : "Thunk yoi: so much for those kind words. ? an au orphan-; and no one has spoken tc me like that since my mother died, lon? years ago." The arrow shot at ven? ture, hit home, and the young mai shortly after rejoiced iu thu fulness o! thc blessing of tire gospel of peace. Ll ow often do we, as Christians, close a lotr to those wc know have uo hop-, "as anybody would,*' wheuwo might say a word for de^us! Shall wc not embrace each opportunity in thc future? Teaching is the process by 'which one mind exercises, incites and de? veloper tiic mind of another. Some do it by their presence merely, some by their c onversation'-these are rare. Others make a special business of it. They excite tho curiosity', they de? mand thinking by putting questions, to answer which tho pupil studies. True teaching keeps ever the growth oi tile child in view. The greatest work of 1.1K* world is leaching, ll is so great that but few can do it. lt is tho most ex Statist: rig oj all kinds of work, lt demands will-power, sympathy, in sFg.'it. kindness, sweetness, and yet stimulation. 'As mue h :is lie th in us' we arc to live peaceably with all men. There is a limit, however, beyond which wc can? not go even in seeking so desirable a thing as peace lu all controversies and in every strife, there is something of good, though in none of them is thc re? sentment they engender a necessity. M ere reformation diifers as much from regeneration as white-washing au old relton house differs from taking ic down and building a new one in its room. Longevity in the 'Good Old Times.' There is eoe point which is too- fre? quently overlooked by writers oa his? torical cases of longevity, the singular difference between our estimation of an old man and that of our forefathers. 'Old John of Gaunt, time-honored Lancaster,' died at 09: so did James I. : Henry VIII, onlv reached 53. Thc Huguenot Admiral Coligny, whose 'hoary hair, all dabbled o'er with blood,' is mentioned by Macaulay, and whom his earlier biographer, Lord Hunting? ton, represents as a very old man, was j slain at 52, when, iu these days of ! Moltkes, Gortchakoffs, Gladstones, ? Beaconsfield.-;, Dafaures, Broughams, ! and Lepidhursts, a man is supposed to be rather on the juvenile side. In I point of fact, for our ancestors a man of I 50 was old ; with us the limit is nearer i SO. It is legitimately to be inferred ! from this fact, in the first place, that j the avarage duration of human life was I shorter in past time than it is nowadays ; i in the second, that thc chances of error j in the accounts of alleged centenarians j were indefinitely greater-that if a man I of 80 or 85 called himself 100 or 110, j bis story would be exceedingly apt to be j believed. I It is quite wonderful to see how hush ? cd and reverential becomes thc attitude of a congregation when the pastor, in the course of his sermon, repeats an ; extract from Whittier or Longfellow, or I perhaps a byran, grown sweet with j }-ears of use, from Cowper or Wesley. Housekeepers, women of fashion, schoi ! ars, tradesmen, mechanics, laborers, ! and children, are equal, when thc i charm of a sweet thought told in meas? ured numbers is recited in their hear- ' ing. They love poetry, and its grace gently compels even those who least comprehend its spell. - mm II n ll ?? After a weary march through the desert Mahomet was camping with his followers and overheard one of them say, 'I will loose my camel, and commit it to God ;'. to which the prophet re? plied, 'Friend, tic thy camel, and com? mit it to God.'
