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. Let a soul be quickened
spiritually, and such questions soon

soul does not come down from personal
communion with Christ to such
non-essentials as these. 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.

Tlio Tope continncn to intermeddlej
with Gorman politics, and the fact Rives
us occasion to remind our readers of
what they already know, but which in
America we are constantly inclined to
forget?tlio Roman Catholic Church is
not on the same basis as other denominations,
and cannot rightfully except the
same toleration. It claims* a temporal
power which cannot be allowed for one
moment. The policy of Rome as to this
country is to control city governments,
and through the cities to control the rest
of the country. Eternal vigilance is the
price of our liberty in tlio presence of such
a vvilv foe.

profound sense of gratitude to God that
my father was a poor man. 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.

Meditation on the attributes of God
