BT OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. Angel of love, for every grief. Its soothing balm thy mercy brings; For every pang Its healing leaf, For homeless want thine outspread wings. Enough for thee the pleading eye, The knitted brow of silent pain: The portals open to a sigh Without the clank of bolt or chain. Who is our brother? He that lies Left at the wayside, bruised and sore; His need our open hand supplies, His welcome waits him at our door. Not ours to ask, in freezing tones, His race, his calling, or his creed; Each heart the tie of kinship owns, When there are human veins that bleed. Here stand the champions to defend From every wound that flesh can feel Her science, patience, skill, shall bleud So save, to calm, to help, to heal. Father of mercies! Weak and frail, Thr euldlne hand Thy children ask ; Let not the Great Physician fail To aid us in our holy task. Source of all truth and love and light, That warm and cheer our earthly days, Be our* to serve Thy will aright, Be thine the glory and the praise! Id Act of Lore. A few Sabbaths ago a large audience had assembled at a fashionable church, to listen to a sermon from a beloved pastor. The air was balmy, with just C.l ? 4 nn.nnh nf nifll'O fhft JlfilV XII LI I CUUUgU VTi 1AV9U dv ...? winter toilets comfortable. The minister was eloquent and magnetic, and the audience was listening with intelligent appreciation to the opening remarks of the sermon, when a poor widow entered, followed by two little children and carrying an infant in her arms. She was personally known to several kind ladies in the congregation, and as she entered kind eyes were turned on her, beamiDg with sympathy. She had been unable for months to attend harcolf oriri children sufferine for the barest necessaries, until a lady had interested her friends in relieving the wants of the mother and little ones, and a most welcome contribution of winter garments had been sent them, and she had availed herself of the first bright Sabbath to attend divine worship. With a sigh of relief she seated herself and little ones, glad to rest, after her two miles' walk ,* her meek face reflecting the joy she felt at once more being in the consecrated house of God. But the babe in her arms, unused to so long a walk, and frightened by the stillness of the church, began to cry. The wailing cries growing louder and louder, scorning with baby indiguation its mother's efforts to hush its cries. "With hurninir cheeks and sorrowful eyes the mother began arranging her wraps to leave the church, as it was evident she could not remain with the babe. She folded the wrap around the m little struggling form and arose to her feet, when a beautifully dressed lady arose, and gently taking the babe in her own arms, whispered to the mother to stay and hear the sermon, and walked down the aisle, unheeding the wondering glances of her friends, her face transfigured with new beauty and grace reflected by the glowing words in her heart of the beloved disciple, "That ye love one another." She walked rapidly through the quiet Sabbath streets, with the crying babe held tenderly to her heart, and entered uie nuuse ui ? iciamc, auu the exclamations of surprise and in* quiry, replied, "It was too bad for that poor mother to miss hearing the sermon. I know I can quiet the child!" and she walked up and down the room, crooning soft words tenderly to the sobbing babe, as only a loving, womanly woman can, her costly dress trailing unheeded over the carpet. Her friends united their efforts with hers to soothe the excited babe, but all to no avail, when, as a forloin hope, she placed the screaming infant in the arms of her own little daughter, and as the soft arms of the little girl closed around the infant, it hushed its cries and nestling close in the arms of this gentle "little Dorrit," soon fell asleep. + Consecration. A worthy eburch member t>a!d, "Al! I have is consecrated to God. An-' yet this church member gave not ovor three hundred dollars a year for God, and twelve hundred a year, as a single item, to keep carriage-horses. This is a fair specimen of our ideas of consecration. A consecratiou which exists only in name. We consecrate to God in name to keen the substance for our selves. We give God everything but ourselves. Which is in fact giving him nothing. True consecration is a very simple thing. Paul defines it as acting with sole reference to pleasing God. Christ defines it as the single eye,?oue object ever before the eye and filling its whole horizon, that object the glory of God. This brings deadness to self, deadness to the world, every motive inspired, every action animated and glowing with this vitalizing force, the glory of God. The church seems to estimate doing more than holiness of character, which is to secure the fruit without the tree, but the fruit is painted. The church needs to apply herself to secure holy characters; consecrated hearts will bring consecrated giving, and be full of consecrated doing. The Christmas tree may be full or rruit, dm ine iruit is pinueu on. The good tree wi'l bend under its load of fruit, the product of its own life. In Jerusha Edwards we havo an illustration of consecration?not after the passions are wasted by age, the appetites satiated by indulgence?not one whose tastes of the world have been imbittered by sorrow, but one in the freshness and beauty of the sweetest young womanhood?the second daughter of President Jonathan Edwards, who died in her eighteenth year. She was a remarkable example OX 8 uuilbcv/ittLCu i;uainv;ieit ujc jjuyv^a of grace over a young heart and life? not only active in religious doing, but her doing the fruit of her saintly character. David Brainerd said of her, "That she was not only a real Christian, but a very eminent saint. One whose soul was uncommonly fed and entertained with things which pertain to the most spiritual, experimental and distinguishing parts of religion; and one who, by the temper of her mind, was fitted to deny herself for God, and to do good, beyond any young woman whatsoever whom he knew." Her father said, "She manifested a heart uncommonly devoted to God in the course of her life." On her death-bed she said: "That she had not seen one minute for several years, wherein she desired to live one minute longer, for the sake of any other good in life, but doing good, living to God and doing what might be for his glory." This is consecration in its simplicity and purity. This is the Pauline standard and maxim. "For me to live is Christ; to die is gain." It is tne ueing possesseu withChrist and his work here, and Christ and heaven hereafter. ? Do not let all of your repentance flow out in tears; put some of it into works that show that you have repented. The kind of repentance that pleases Satan is that which stops with the indulgence of grief and does nothing. k\ - Grief. The blessing of a great grief to the soul capable of feeling a great grief is incalculable. All the fountains of the deep are broken up by it, the windows of heaven are opened by it, and from the soul is swept away, as by a flood, the remnants of the former time, and gradually a new world emerges as the waters subside. While the storm i rages the stricken but trusting soul floats 011 the surface of the waves seemingly alone on the wide, wide sea, 1 and waits the glad hour when the [ clear shining of the sun through the i rain shall bring again the rainbow J promise of a regenerated life. In whatever form the cross of suffering be laid upon us, however light it I'D f?AA/l be, however neavy n ut;, mmc ?o concealed in it, and to be distilled from it into our souls to permeate and sanctify and purify us, and make us able to minister to others in their afflictions ; but whether the inflow upon us of that precious good, so concealed and so distilled, shall be freer or less free will depend always upon the spirit with which we bear it. We cannot become inured to pain, no matter how long we bear it; pain is always pain; but to bear it patiently, uncomplainingly, and without permitting any bitterness or repining to shade our patience, develops in the soul its noblest qualities, gives clearness of spiritual vision, strength of understanding, fixedness ..< onH o catHprf and resolute! VM pUl [JVOVj t*uv? u _ _ cheerfulness. "Made perfect through suffering," is a phrase we apply to those natures who, having borne without murmuring poverty, loss, bereavement, sickness, vicissitude, are by all these instrumentalities purged of the grosser elements that mar our common humanity, and made clear, refined, and pure. Borne meekly, patiently, rejoicingly, pain may be the perfecting in us of what makes us like Him who "without suffering was not made perfect." A Conrt of Arbitration. All Christians, moralists, philanthropists, patriots?yea, all men in Christendom who have common sense and any regard for the welfare of mankind, as nations and as individuals,, should all work together to establish, as soon as possible, a High Court of Arbitration, for the just and peaceable settlement of all difficulties in and between natious, and thereby remove all excuses and plausibilities for war, the greatest of crimes, and the greatest disgrace of nations. But it is a sad fact that the people of America and Europe, generally, are indifferent to a Court of Arbitration, seeming to believe that, as war has been so Jong in the world, it must be expected and continued tor a long time to come, even to the "milleniumand, more sad still, many in all nations who do not directly oppose Arbitration* as they see that it is so reasonable and philanthropic, yet do not wish to have it permanently established, as it would forever destroy their profitable busi i? i? KoH1o.ahina IK'SS OI UU11U11J? IUIW, UHVWV uu.rw, and instruments and powers of war, and feeding and clothing armies, which, especially in Europe, is a continual source of large income. The great standing disgrace and sin of the Christian world, at th? present time, is the upholding, voluntarily, of the gigantic and monstrous War System, which does not have any tendency or power to prevent war, bnt its whole inclination is toward war. How long shall this needless, barbarous, expensive, and demoralizing system continue? Let the great Christian world answer.?J. H. in Messenger of Peace. A little Boston boy, aged six, is of a very imaginative temperament. Quite recently his mother noticed that at bed-time each night he laid his little boots together upon their sides, instead of setting them upright. "Pray tell me why you always place your boots that -way ?" asked mamma; and the child replied : "Because they mu^t be tired walking so much all day I lay them Bideways so that they can rest." DRTG.
