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."
