r v The Last Ifjinn. The Sabbath day was ending, Iu a village by the sen, The uttared benediction Touched the people tenderly, And they rose to face the sunset In the giowinsr, lighten west. And they hastened to their dwellings, For God's blessed boon of rest. But they looked across the waters, And a storm was raging tin re; A tierca spirit moved above them, The wild spirit of the air. And it lashed and shook and tore them, Till thty thundered, groaned, and boomed,, And alas! for any vessel In their yawning gulfs entombed. Very anxious were the people On that rocky coast of Wales Lest the dawn of coming morrows *, , Should be telling awful tales, When the sea had spent its passion And should cast upon the shore Bits of wreck aud swollen victims, 'As it had done heretofore. With the rough winds blowing round her, A brave woman strained her eyes, And she saw along the billows A large vessel fall aud ri?e. Oh! It did not need a propiiet To tell what tli' end must be, For no ship could ride In safety Near the shore on such a sea. Then pitying people hurried From their homes and thronged the beach. Oh ! for power to cross the water And the perishing to reach. Helpless hands were wrung for sorrow, Tender hands grew cold with dread, And the ship, urged by the tempest, To the fatal rock shore sped. "She has parted in the middle! Oh! the half of her goes down! God have mercy! Oh ! is Heaven Far to seek for those who drown ?" Lo! when next the while, shocked faces Looked with terror on the sea, Only one last clinging figure On the spur was seen to be. And near the trembling watchers Came the wreck, tossed by the wave: And the man still clung and floated, Though no power on earth could save. "Could we send him a short message?'' Here's a trumpet. Shout away! 'Twas the preacher's hand that took it, And he wondered what to sny. Any memory of his sermon? Firstly, secondly? Ah! no! There was but one thing lo utter In the a%vful hour of woe. So he shouted through the trumpet: "Look to Jesus! Can you hear?"' And "Ay, ay, sir!" rang the answer O'er the waters, loud and clear. Then they listened. He is singing _ "Jesus, lover of my soul !" Ann IOC Wllius uruu^iib unv-jv niv ci/uv, 'While the nearer waters roll." Strange, indeed, it was to hear him, "Till the storm of life was past." Singing bravely from the waters, "Oh ! receive my soul at lust!" v:. He could have no other refuge, "Hongs my helpless soul on Thee;" "Leave, ah! leave me not"?The siuger Dropped at last into the sea; And the watchers, looked homeward Through their eyes, with tears made dim, Said: "He passed to be with Jesus In the singing of that hymn." The Bible and the Rifle. BY REV. C. H. SPURGEON. "Now liere comes another Christianity which has lately displayed itself to many heathen nations. It comes with a Bible in its knapsack and the rifle in its hand. Is not this a tine combination for conversion? Jesus comes before the Zulu riding upon a Gatling gun. Of course these poor heathen kuow nothing about our political combinations, bntthey suppose that Christians are invading their land, will they, therefore, love Christ? Missionaries, here is a difficulty for you to explain ; how will you deal with it? You come from a Christian nation?a nation which salutes the savages in Christ's name with shot and shell. Will they receive Christianity coming in such guise? If they do not, small blame can we pour upon them ; they will be only acting according to the light of reason and common sense. If there shall ever come a Christianity which suffereth long and is kind; which doeth no evil, but sceketh good to its neighbor, which teucheth love to God aud love to man, which seeketh not its own, but lays itself out for others, then I do not say that an ungodly people will be enamored of it if left to itself, but I do believe that the Spirit of God will go forth with it, aud will convince men of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment, and then shall the scattered family of Adam accept the one true faith, and enter into a league of amity with each other, and there shall be glory to God in the highest, 011 earth peace, good will toward men." A Good Example. Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, has set an example that all the churches may follow with profit. He has issued an order forbidding the singing of any except sacred music by the Catholic choirs in that city. The iegnljir memhers of thechurob pomnlnin ed that the operatic and other sensational music given by the choirs simply resulted in drawing large crowds of people who prevented the poorer communicants from obtaining even standing room in the church. The conduct of many of these people, the complainants stated, was outrageous and a scandal to all who visited the church for religious contemplation. Often audible remarks ridiculing the service, with which the intruders felt no sympathy, would interrupt and disturb the devotions of all in their vicinity. Several communicants refused to attend those services that are for ' the most part sung. When we have recovered more of the humanity and tenderness of Christ, we shall banish everything from the churches which prevents the poor from having the gospel preached unto them. Why should those who find in the gospel almost their only comfort be shut away from it? How long shall we make the poor ? the victims of our selfishness? Business and Religion. A wealthy, irreligious, shrewd business man in Illinois, was approached by a member of the Church of Christ for a subscription towards building a meeting house. He cheerfully put down his name for $200, and then remarked, "I give that as a good business investment. I would rathergive $200 every year than not to have the gospel preached in this community." "How is that?" he was asked. "You do not pay any heed to the gospel. Why are you interested iu having it preached?" "Oh," he replied, "I live herewith my family, and my property is around here; without the influences of Christianity the condition of society would become such that neither property nor life would be safe. I would not be willing to live in any community where the gospel was not preached!" These views of a hard-headed man i of the world are confirmed by all ex- i periences. Christianity is the salt of the earth. Only the utterly abandon- , ed would be content to live where its , influence had ceased to be felt. Deaduess in the Church. .< Owing to the cares of life and the I j demands of the world on our time we:. first begin to neglect pious meditation, j study of the Word, and hours of devotion ; next Church duties are ignored, and attendance on the prayer and | class meeting becomes infrequent, and r at length ceases altogether. Then as 1 the steps in the downward path are taken with increasing celerity, we begin1 > - to forget tho family altar, and at last do not feel specially interested even in the Sabbath services, which, if attended at all, are simply endured. Can there be any vitality in a (Munch composed of such members? We have often noticed that irregular Christians, soon begin to blame everything but the right cause, and much of the socalled trouble about the mode of baptism, apostolical succession, the true Church of Christ, &c., is owing, not to discoveries of fact, or felt needs, so I much as it is because of loss of spiritual power.

The brother who complains most of the dcadness of the Church, feels keenly the thing itself and blames the others for his personal loss; when as it is a personal matter, they have little to do with it. The Sweetest Grace. Of all the graces of the spirit, love holds the priority. This is the first thing in religion that young converts should cultivate. It is to be manifested all through the Christian life. In its perfection it is the highest mark of maturity. It is to abide with us in Heaven through all eternity, constituting one of the chief elements of the bliss of Heaven. For the exercise of love products happiness both in the subject and in the object. Paul makes so much of love that he frequently tells us it is the sum ami substance of religion. It is the fulfilling of the law. It is better than knowledge and faith and zeal. It is to be preferred before any ardent fidelity that would carry us into bigotry, censoriousness and spiritual pride. Though a mau had zeal enough for religion to die a martyr at the stake; though he had faith enough to move a mountain; though he gave a tenth of i- ; f n vo pj. U1S HIL'UIilt: Wl cvii V?i .1 ous benevolent causes, yet if lie had not love, the charity that sufFereth long and is kind?he would still be a stranger to that essential Chrislian character without which no man shall see the Lord. We have so many occasions and opportunities in which to develop this grace, it is on every-day virtue. Not an hour passes but will bring a chance to cultivate this heavenly grace of love. We are constantly being called upon to exercise love in at least some one of its many forms. Love sutFereth long, and we will find much to call out our patience. We must be patient with the faults and follies of friends and foes. Love is kind; not a day will pass without need of showing k indness to some one. Love envieth not; vaunteth not itself; doth not behave itself unseemly; seeketh not her own; thinketh no evil; beareth all things. How often do we find occasions to display this mauy-sided grace! Concerning some of the great truths of Revelation we know in part. There are mysteries we cannot fathom. There are questions that baffle lis. Concerning them with Paul we can only say. "We know in part." But the exercise of love is a duty easy to be comprehended. It is so simple, so plain, so intelligible. Here is sure footing. We know this much, that we must be patient, kind, charitable, hopeful. We will tbus begin to <10 mat which is so plain aiul wait till we get to Heaven to And solution of the mysteries. Hut the very exercise of love prepares the soul to know divine things. He that loveth is born of God and knoivcth God. liOve thus constitutes an organ of knowledge. The soul that exercises the love described in 1 Cor. xiii. carries about with him the consciousness that he dwells in God and God in him. Let us humbly and trustingly manifest this love. It will cast out all fear. The Heaven of Heaven is love. There arc two opposite extremes, both of which tend to prevent this sympathy. One is the prevailing fault of a past regime, which only required of this relation absolute authority on the one hand and absolute submission on the other. The training which the parent was expected to give was simply a training to obedience, to self-restraint, to silence and humility, and by no means included any educatiou ot" the feelings or development of the affections. It was even considered a duty to restrain the expression of nat ural love, lest it break down Hie bar-| riersof parental authority and tend to diminish respect. The consequence of this tone in the family was to promote the sentiments of awe, reverence, ami fear, but at the same time to foster a secret antagonism in the young 10wards those who were frequently thwarting and punishing them. Much of this has passed away, under the Tnfluenceof the spirit of freedom, which, spreading so rapidly, has not failed to penetrate into everyi home. There are still, however, a few j conscientious but misguided parents who err in this direction, and stir up feelings of enmity where love and confidence .should reign; hut the spirit of the times has drifted us into an opposite extreme, equally unfavorable to true paieutal friendship. The desire to impose no unnatural restraint, and to grant all possible liberty, has had] full sway, and the result has been, in many cases, not a knitting together,! but a virtual separation, to a great ex- j tent, between parent and child. 2son interference lias frequently lapsed into neglect, and the inexperienced child, suH'ered to pursue his own path. without restraint, and almost without j advice, lias gradually drifted away j from the protecting love and directing influence of the parent. Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute. No devoted well-doer ever attains to his ideal of well-doing. No one gets the victory once for all! over his sins and faults. True eloquence I find to be none but the serious, hearty love of truth. lie who would ascend a ladder, puts his foot first 011 the lowest round. deputation is what men and women think of us; character i.s what Clod, and the angels know of us. "If we do what we can," eays Henry, "God willj not be wanting to do that for us which we cannot." To judge religion we must have it? not stare at it from the bottom of a seemingly interminable ladder. There is nothing on earth to rest on, nor anything in heaven, in comparison with a specific promise of God. Thoughtlessness is never an excuse for wrong. Our hasty actions disclose, is nothing else does, our habitual feelings. No errors are so trivial but they deserve to be tnemled, and 110 sin soj slight but it should be repented of and enounced. A.

I think it not unlikely that if in my youth I had had money to spend freely I would have gone to destruction. But some rich men are saved, thank God ! and when a man of wealth does keep himself in the love of God, and order his house according to the simplicity of the Gospel, he is almost sure to be a man of pronounced piety; he has had to resist the world at so many points, and against such strenuous attacks, that he had acquired a fine tone of spiritual muscle ; ho has had to stand against the insidious and persistent approaches and importunities of a fashionableand {rodless sock-ty. with such strength as to bring out all that is in liitn. f.S'nndnji School Times ] .Some men think that they arc performing a positively meritorious act when i hey pay their debts, instead of recoging (hat they have only done what they ought to do. And the same men (and others) seem to think they have acquired a still greater degree of merit, when they have simply been honest enough to pay the Lord his due in work and worship. Tills tendency is illustrated in the. case of a little fellow whose mother, one evening after hearing his prayers, and added the commendation, "That's a very good boy." On later evenings the same praise was not forthcoming, but the bo3' him?.?lf was not willing to let it slip: and novr ho pdds, 011 liis own account, a regular appendix to his prayor: "Amen. That's a good boj*,?a very good boy. Ycs'm." It would bo well if such sclfgratulation were confined to children; but it is to bo feared that if the feelings of a good many adults could be analyzed after an unusually successful prayermeeting, or an unusually large contribution to the missionary cause, they would be found to be not very different from the child's self praise: "That's a good boy?a very good boy. Yes'in." [Christian Weekly.} We are glad to see that the editorial conscience has not been utterly stupefied by the benumbing pressure of the augmenting cash account, but that it is occasionally asserting itself, as it has recently done in the ollice of the CHobr.-Jtej>nblic, of Springfield, Ohio. Its editor has suspended its Sunday paper at a time, when, lie says, it is paying better than ever, and is the most profitable issue of the week. lie boldly says however, that if it were paj-ing a dozen times as well it would be suspended, for these convincing reasons, which we wish the editors of other Sunday papers had the candor to admit and U16 courage to follows: "The owners of the paper have had both experience and observation as lo the publication of a newspaper on Sunday, and they are thoroughly convinced that it is neither morally nor physically right for them to continue tlio issue of such a papor. Our experience, as well as the gentlemen emploj'cd by us, proves that 11 day of mental and physical rest is requir en by tliciri cacn weeiv, ana inai hucii a clay of rest is an absolute necessity; that six days a week of solid work is as much I as any person connccted with the Republic can endure. Wo, and those connected with us, have tested the matter thoroughly, and we speak advisely, and ?wc think wo may say?authoritatively. It is our conviction, also, that Sunday should bo observed as a day of worship as well as rest, and wo propose to put neither obstacle nor annoyance in the way of those who wish so to observe it.' God protects those who think of nothing but performing their duty, without perplexing themselves about the consequences of it. Tt is a high state of grace to be able to see God in all things; but he who is able to see all thingsin God has stepped up still higher. Do right under all circumstances, even at the sacrifice of place, power, and the prospect of wef.Ith, and if it keep you poor to the end of life. No one ought to remind another of misfortune of which the sufferer does not complain, and for which there are no means proposed of alleviating.
