Tlie Coining' of tlie King.
"They shall see the king in his beauty.'
All day long we watched and waited, l
Waited at our darling's side,
While her frail bark slowly drifted 1
Out upon a snorciess uae.
We had wept in bitter anguish, ]
We had prayed with burning tears, ,
While our hearts drew back affrighted,
Looking down the lonesome years. <
AH in vain our tears and pleading, |
All iu vain our sorrowing; 1
We could only watch and listen
For the coming of the King. I
O, the terror of the coming (
Of the grim and ghastly foe! <
O, the darkness of the pathway ]
Where our darling's fpet must go!
O, the glory of the summer,
Bending skies so blue and clear, 1
And the splendor of the roses, I
And the bird-songs far and near, ,
Must she leave this world ol' beauty,
All the Joy our love could bring, <
And lie down in darksome silence |
At the coming of the King? (
Came he solemnly and slowly <
As a lord who claims his own,
Touched the white hands clasped togethor, 1
And they grew.as cold as stone.
Suddenly the blue eyes opened, ,
While our hearts grew faint with fear,
In their depths in solemn rapture
Faith ana hope were shining clear.
Did she nee the golden portals? j
Hear the songs the blessed sing?
' Perfect peace," she softly murmured, At
the coming of the King. I
When the days are long and lonely, 1
Summer days most sweet and fair, ]
Whi>n vct> (rfttfipr in the srloaminii 11
Round our darling's vacant chair, I (
Say we softly to each other '
"Fairer scenes than we can know, I
Sweeter airs and softer voices,
Made our darling glad to go."
Shines her happy face upon us,
Still a smile is lingering. i
So in patient trust we tarry ,
For the coming of the King.
Deliverance out of Trouble. ,
i
BY N. S. |
"Call upon me," says God, "in the
day of trouble, and I will deliver thee, j
and thou shalt glorify me." This is ,
one of those cheering promises which |
have been the comfort and safety of t
God's people in every age. While it ,
gives a condition, it pledges a sure and .
blessed result, telling us that if in dan- \
ger, or perplexity, or trouble we call (
upon God, He will answer, ar.d deliv- |
er and save. I
Multitudes have tested the promise ,
and in their own experience have ,
found it to be true. In the hour ol (
trouble or perplexity or danger many
a child of God has called on Him,
when there was no other resource, and
lias found Him faithful to His promise
to deliver, as is shown in the following
narrative, which is literally truo. |
In a large and lone house in the ,
South of England lived a lady of piety (
and wealth, with only maid servants |
in the dwelling itself, her men ser- ,
vants being in cottages at a distance j
from the house. It was her custom to .
go through the house with one of her \
servauts every evening, to see that the j
windows were properly secured; and
one night, after seeing that all was j
safe, she retired to her room, when as
she entered it. she saw distinctly a j
man under her bed. What could she
do? Her servants were in a distant
part of the house, where they could
not hear if she cried for help, and even j
if with her they were no match for a (
desperate housebreaker. What then .
did she do? Quietly closing and lock- ,
ing the door, as she was always in the
habit of doing, she leisurely brushed (
her hair, put on her dressing-gown,
and then, taking her Bible, sat down |
to read. She read aloud, though in a i
low and serious tone, choosing a chapter
which had special reference to
God's watchful care over those that
trust Him, whether by day or Dy mgnt.
When it was ended she knelt and
prayed aloud, commending herself '
and servants to the Divine protection,
pleading their utter helplessness, and
their dependence on God to preserve
them from danger, and praying for the
poor, the sinful, and the tempted, that
they might be kept from evil, and led
to put their trust in God as their father
and friend. Then, rising from her
knees and putting out the candle, she
laid herself down in bed, though almost
of course, she did not sleep. After
a few moments the man come out :
from his concealment, and, standing !
by her bedside, begged her not to be !
alarmed.
"I came here," he said, "to rob you, '
but after the words you have read, and J;
the prayer you have uttered, no power
on eartb could induce me to harm you, J
or to touch a thing iii your dwelling. :
But you must remain perfectly quiet, L
and not make a sound to alarm your
servants, or to interfere with me. I s
will give a signal to my companions 0
which will lead them to go away, and 9
you may sleep in peace, for no one a
shall harm you or disturb the smallest
thing iu your house." He then went
to the window and gave a low whistle,
and coming back to the lady's side,
said, "Now I am going. Your prayer 1
will be answered, and no disaster will ,
befall you."
He left the room, and soon all was
quiet ; and the lady at last fell asleep, '
ealm in the exercise of her faith and |
trust in God, her soul filled with
tlmnlrfnliipcu fni- Hid i>rntpnliii(r irmnl
ness. The man proved true to his 1
word. In the morning it was found
that not a thing in the house had been
disturbed. And the lady more than
once and earnestly prayed that the
man might be led to forsake his evil 1
courses and put his trust in that Saviour
who came to seek and save the I
lost, and who, even on the cross, could
accept and save the thief who was v
penitent.
The deliverance of the lady may
seem wonderful, and the story almost
too strange to believe. But some time
after the occurrence a letter was re- 1
ceived by the one who related it, fully
corroborating the statement, and add- i
ingsome facts that enhance both the t
Mw*
wuuucri rtnu uic iiiciuj ui uic csuaiic.
The letter says, "In the first place, the ,
robber told her that if she had given t
the slightest alarm or token of resistance,
he was fully determined to murder
her, so that it was providential she
took the course she did. Theu before (
he went away he said,'I never heard
such words before, and I must have '
the book out of which you read and s
he carried off her Bible, willingly
enough given, you may be sure." * I
This happened years ago, and ouly >
lately did the lady hear any more of <
the robber. She was attending a religious
meeting in Yorkshire, where, ]
after several noted clergymen and oth- j
ers had spoken, a man arose, saying (
that he was employed as one of the
book-hawkers (or colporteurs) of the
??%wl tAl/l niirl.

wonderful power of the word of God,
roncluding with, "I am that man!"
The lady rose from her seat in the (
hall, and said quietly, ilJt is all (rue; '
I was the lady \" and sat down again. ,
If we had more faith in God's word,
anil more full and childlike reliance t
on His promises and His providence, <
should we not far more frequently i
find, in our own experience, that He <
never fails His people in the hour of
their need!?Christian Weekly. j

Wounded Among' Friends.
King David gave occasion to enenies
to blaspheme by bis sinful course
in some great mutters. That was not
liis intention but it was the result of
ills sinful conduct. Tin's experience is
yery frequently repeated. A case occurred
in this city recently. Two
brothers, members of a sister church,
long esteemed honorable, Christian,
Dusiness men, one of them a city official
entrusted with large money interests
and whose name was a synonym
for honesty, failed to meet maturing
obligations. On investigation it was
found that they had been doing business
for a long time on forged paper.
The main business man of the firm
lisappeared for parts unknown, and
:he creditors are in hot water as the
lebtsof the firm are largely in excess
if their credits, when the forgeries are
included.
There is great occasion thus giveu to
enemies of religion to blaspheme and
jpeak against religion and religious
people. Confidence in men, especially
Christian men, is greatly impaired.
All the members of the Christian
Church are affected by this injuriously
in some degree. Sinners will be
liardened and led to look upon Chri<innityasan
imposition and all Chris
tians as cheats, unrisi is wouuueu m
.lie house of his friends.
Such examples of late have become
very frequent, so frequent as to cause
ilarm for the state of the Church that
produces such fruitage. When Christian
men become covetous for the
world, or the things thereof, there is
^reat danger that iu an evil hour they
may be given up to take such steps as
to forever blast both their fortunes
ind their reputation for probity.
When leaders among Christians, ministers
and others, fall in this way they
lo untold damage. It is no shame to
be poor; and to fail in business is unfortunate,
but to lie, defraud and commit
forgery in order to stave off such
\ misfortune, places one along side of
those who are shut out of the kinglom
of heaven, however high may
liave been their pretensions. "Charge
them that are rich in this world that
they be not high minded, nor trust in
uncertain riches, but the living God,
?iveth us richly all things to enjoy."

Praying About Little Things.
I remember hearing it said of agodly
mau "Mr. ?So-and-So is a gracious
nan, but he is very strange; for the
>ther day he prayed to God about a
key that he had lost." The person
Lvlio told it to me regarded with astonishment
the idea of praying to God
ibout a lost key; and he seemed altogether
surprised when I assured him
that I prayed iu like manner. What!
pray about a key? Yes. Please tell
me how big a thing must be before you
may pray about it. If a certain size
is appointed, we should like to have it
marked down in the Bible, that we
might learn the mathematics of prayer.
Would you have it recorded that,
f a thing is so many inches long, we
nay pray about it; but if it happens
;o be a quarter of an inch too short,
Ae must let it alone. If we might
lot pray about little things, it would
)c a fearful calamity; for little things
;ause us great worry, and they aie
larder to deal with than great things,
[f we might not pray about minor
natters, it would be a terrible loss of
jomfort.

Treaty of Arbitration With tlie
I nited State* of America.
The officers at the last Council meeting
having been instructed to prepare an address
to the President and Congress of
the United States of America with a view
of getting it signed by members of the
. House of Commons, presented the following,
which, after some discussion,
wis unanimously adopted on the motion
of Nieass and Ilaslam; the Secretary
being instructed to take the necessary
' steps for getting it extensively signed by
Members of Parliament:
"To the President and Congress of the
United States of America: The undersigned
members of the British Parliament,
learn with the utmost satisfaction,
inai various prupusmn nave uooh h.ww- ,
duced into Congress, urging the Government
of the United States, to take the
necessary steps, for concluding with the
Great Britain, a treaty, which shall stip- ,
ulate that any differences or disputes ,
arising between the two governments,
which cannot be adjusted by diplomatic i
agency, shall be referred to arbitration. !
Should such a proposal happily emanate
from the Congress of the United States, I
our best influence shall be used to ensure
it* acceptance by the Government of
Great Britain. The conclusion sueli a
treaty would be a splendid example to <
those nations who are wasting their resources
in war-provoking institutions-,
and might induce other governments to
join the peaceful compact.?The Arbitrator.
Under the head "High Claims of Romanism,"
the Northern Christian Advo- <
cate contains the following :
The Baptist Weekly says: ' In these |
days, when smooth words concerning i
Romanism are so often uttered, it may be <
profitable to react4 some choice sentences I
from a book by one of the Canadian
Jesuits?a book, too, which has received
the highest commendation to the Romish
Bishops of Montreal:
"It is customary to regard Protestantism
a rolurinn wh:r*h has its ritrhts. .
This is aw error. Protestantism has not a
single right. It possesses the l'orco of (
seduction. It Is a rebellion in triumph;
it is an error which flatters human na- 1
ture. Error can havo 110 rights; rebellion
can have 110 rights.'
"It would be easy enough to fill columns
with utterances of this sort. For
instance, this by the late Bishop O'Connor:
" 'Religious liberty is mere y endured
until the opposite can be carried into effect
without peril to the Catholic Church.'
Or the following from the Catholic lie- t
view :
" 'Potestantism has not, and never can
have, any right, where Catholicity has 1
triumphed. Therefore wo lose the breath ;
we expend in declaiming against bigotry 1
and intolerance and in favor of religious j
liberty, or the right of any man to be of ,
any religion as best pleases him.' Or the <
following by Pope Pius XI: j
" 'The Catholic religion, with all i;s
votes, ought to be exclusively dominant
in such sort of way that every other worship
shall be banished and interdicted.'
There is no end to this loud sounding '
talk by Roman Catholics. But then we 1
must remember that it sounds very
senseless in this age of the world. It is :
talk of a demented eccesiasticm. The
time will come, we hope, when the Rn
...ill ...1 1
man v_ul.hu in.; v.uun 11 11x wcii\u uj/ anu |
tind that Christendom haw moved out ol'J
the Dark Ages."
This would seem to indicate the Baptist
Weekly was putting on war-paint. :
There lias been much excitement in '
New York and Washington cities, caused
by attempts made to enforce thn Sunday
laws forbidding the opening saloons and
the sale o! liquors, etc., on Sundays. In
New York a number of the dealers, by
common agreement, closed and observed
the law to the letter, with the under- |
standing that to do so would make the I
la?v odious to many people and its repeal <
soon be secured.* In Washington city '
many arrests were made the first Sunday ,
after the law went into operation, and ar- i
rnnsrements made to test the validity of i
the law before the highest courts that have I
jurisdiction in the case.
It seems strange that in a Christian
country, with a civil government founded
on Christian principles, people should
boast of the excellency and freedom of
that government and yet try to destroy
ono of the main pillars on which it rests
?as the Sabbath really is. But taken all
in all, one of the strangest and yet most
powerful beings on this earth is man.
lie can do many inconsistent things, and ;
many that are adverse to his own higher
and better interests. Seizing the present
gratificction regardless of the future, ho .
can destroy himself without mercy, or ,
"benefit of elegy." " i
It is a remarkable fact, not generally .
known, that in Ethiopia a people numbering
about 200,000 have the 01 u Testament ,
in an Ethiopio version and still adhere J
rigidly to the Mosaic ceremonies and <
laws. They are the children of Hebrew
immigrants who in tho time of tho great
dispersion settled in Abyssinia and married
wives of that nation. i
There is a good provision in tho Kansas 1
election law. It is that no ono shall re-1

across the "dead line," as they call it.
. This prevents crowding and hustling at j

The boundary line botween Rhode
Island nnd Connecticut, which has been |
a matter of litigation and dispute over
200 years, was finally settled, March 25, I

on either side.
