I" : Mtoth in the Home. The aunnieBt day of the week ! In every home that day ought to be the Sabbath day. Christ is the light; Sunday Is His day. Therefore it is by right the light day. But unless the parents open the windows and shutters of the young hearts about them, what will avail the outside shining? Here come a pair of little feet pattering across the threshold. "Charley boy, which day of all the days do you like the best. / "Sunday day, father." "Why?" " Oh, it Is the happiest day!" From beginning to end, from the first bird-note in the dawning until the tired birds cease their song at dusk, the parent's effort ought to be to make the day exceptional for both the quality and the degree of its happiness. But can that idea be realized? I think so. How? 1. In part by meeting as fully as is possible the child love for the beautiIs there not on the shelves a hit of ornamental china that is some what above the grade of the workday dishes? If it had been used daily it would be scarcely noticed; but now; Sabbath by Sabbath, place it upon the .table and it will seem to the children to be an ever-repeated Sabbath-day ' gift to them. It will be that. If poscftle Jet there be something for all, jfaronea pretty cup, for another a plate, a piece of cut glass. But such things are costly. Yes, they are too costly for many a home. But there is an ornament which is Arm to the humblest home, and also Is better than any most delicate piece of human handicraft for it is Godmade and very beautiful. Let the mother go to the window where all the week her geraniums and primroses aadbegomas have been turning their leaves and perhaps their blossoms towards -the light. She chooses the prettiest. She places it on the table. As the children come trooping in, see what a bright "good morning" it has fer&emall, for old and young. The ]*mof Ss the answering smile in their ilioes. The flower is there like a weleoMftgaest tome to tarry with them -Sfetheday, and with a smile that will bless them the whole day through. I've known a wee and modest flower,^ IUHI BCMOOII UM CU upouu oiwac, Trsuuform all hearts with subtle power, * At though 'twere love that smiled a while. m 2. Further, meet as fully as is possible the child love for play. The child needs play. It would be tempting, him beyond what he is able to bear to forbid it, even for a day. But let it be Sunday play. Let there be "Sunday playthings" as there are Sunday clothes, and let them be of the best and prettiest Then guide the children in the use of them. The dolls can be dressed, not for schools and mIJs, but for church and for visiting tfce-stok. The boy's horses, they need not be allowed to work. Let them have generous feeds or grain and ex* tra care because the Sunday is theirs aa wall aa their master's. Or let them ho.toned out to pasture with the other asiaoals. And then if one of them or a oow or a sheep fall into a prepared pit, no matter. It will be right for thaboya to take them out even on the on/1 Ir* ^Airtor if fn loom o 1 qc. soa concerning the mercy of the Christ who te Lord of the Sabbath day. Or if the horses must be harnessed let them carry the dolls to church. "Sometimes, when the children'have "l teamed to love ths real church and Swwity-Bchool, let them play "church" aftd "Sunday-school" and "preaching." No fear but that their play will be reverent. And who knows??it may be an early step in the training oftosys who hereafter shall be surMktixtd "Boanerges, which is, The sons _ M 11 - - - tt 3 J Li. 1 Ui mumiwr," wiu ui uaugmeis wuu shall be "cornerstones polished after theflimHttude of a palace." 0rtriF the boys and girls to play t!?*t they are Hebrew children and a part of an imaginary throng marching together in the glad feast-times towards Mt. Zion and Jerusalem. Teach them to sing as they go one or another of the "Songs of the Ascent," "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills," or "I was glad when they itfMd unto me, Let us go into the house df the Lord." Ab they reach the imagined holy city and temple, let them hear the silver trumpets welcoming theui ; and no matter what the real round is, if only the sound of a battered trumpet of tin, their imagination can easily glorify it. Then let them make their booths outside the city walls. Simply give them the outline of the story (and this is but one story among so many that can be so used) and they will fill in the details for tbeirplay. It will be absorbing play. It may be most helpful, for who knows but it will leave so vivid an impression of reality on their minds and hearts as to make impossible any after yielding to the claims of heretical legendary and mythical hypotheses ? 3. Further, somewhere in the day find an hour, the twilight time is the best time, for meeting more fully than is possible in the busy week ddys the child love for stories tola or read. With the little ones in the mother's arms and with the older ones pressed close about her, let them hear over and over the sweet Bible words, until Moses and Miriam and Joseph and Samuel and the dear Christ Jesus in the Nazareth home all seem as real to Chem and as dear as their best loved playmates. Often the children instead of the parents may themselves tell the familiar stories and repeat the best-loved texts and verses, with the thought thaf> in making the Bible words their very own and laying them away for use in their minds they are laying away pearls, precious things that byJ a / , ' " ; ' w , s- r f' ' and-by shall make them rich indeed with the best of treasures, such as "neither moth nor rust doth corrupt nor thieves break through and steal." 4. And at the last, before the evening prayers and the good-night kisses and dreamland, sing together some of the bright Sunday hymns which the children should know and love as the birds know and love their woodland songs. But all of this would take time and thought, and with our other outside Sabbath occupations would crowd the day. The other Sabbath occupations might crowd the day ; one's Sabbath duties would not. Occupations are wholly self-imposed: duties never are. The' family is the centre of all Christian activity.?Illustrated Christian Weekly. Good for Others Besides the FriendH. Is it to be said, then that there should be no preparation for our meetings for worship? Should all, minister and others, enter them purposely with vacant minds expecting that, like iEolian chords, they will be breathed upon by "the wind that bloweth where it listeth," and so be made to render sufficient service? Notsuch inanimate instruments are, or should be, any true worshippers in the name of Christ. All should go to our meetings "with their loins girded and their lights burning;" ready for any service which may be called for, but obturding none: waiting for His word who will say, "Preach the preaching that I bid thee,"?or, "Be still and know that I am God." Ministers should be, themselves, under preparation for their service all the time; in season. Not "necessarily by much study outside of the Bible. With some the acquisition and use of wide learning is not only an opportunity but a duty; with others it may not be so. But all require and may get the lessons of spiritual experience, and of acquaintance with the needs of the human heart. This may be done, and each may come to have a treasury filled with thiDgs new and old, even while many hours of week-days are engaged in the field, the workshop or the counting-room. Not the sermon, then, but the preacher should be prepared, carefully and prayerfully. Each meeting that he expects to attend should be an occasion for special, earnest prayer, that he may be in his right place, whatever that may be. Nor should such preparation be confined to acknowledged ministers. All should feel that the meeting is theirs; each is a part of it, as they are members of the body of Christ. The indifference of one may hurt or impair ine jaDor 01 oiners ; me sympathetic exercise of all may bring down a blessing, such that there will not be room to receive it. What nre Christians For? A Christian lady, who was engaged in work for the poor and degraded, was once remonstrated with for going among such a class of people. "You sit beside these people and talk with the in away that I do no^ think you wouid do if you knew all about them?just what they are and from what places they come." Her answer was: "Well, I suppose they are dreadful people; but it the Lord Jesus were now on earth, are they not the very sort of people that He would strive to reach? And am J bettter than my Master?" A poor illiterate person, who stood listening to this conversation, said with great earnestness and simplicity : "Why, I always thought that was what Christians were for." The objector was silenced, and what wonder? Is not that what Christians are for? If not, then what, in the name of all that is good, are they for ??American Messenger. Dally Light for the Dally Life. "Whatsoever yo shall ask the Father In my name, He will give It you."?John xvl, 28. Do I appreciate the fullness and bless edutss of this promise, and do I see and feel the full force of that word 4'whatsoever,"aud that nothing is se trivial or of so little moment, that I may not bring it to God In prayer? In all my petitions do I cheerfully submit my will and desires to His most holy and wise will? Do I pray in faith, and in the full confidence that, as God has promised, He will hear and answer my petitions for Christ's sake? And if an answer is not at once granted, do I with patience and faith wait for it? As far back as I can remember, I had the habit of thanking God for every thing I received and of asking Him for every thing I wanted. If I lost a book or any of my playthings, I prayed that I might find it. I prayed walking along the streets, in school and out of school, whether playing or studying. I did not do thi3 in obedience to any prescribed rule; it seemed natural. I thought of God as an-every-where-present being, full of kindness and love, who would not be offended if children talked to Him.?Charles Hodge, D.D A Congregational minister, in the Christian World heartily condemns what he calls "the one man ministry" ?that is the same minister officiating Sunday after Sunday in one pulpit. He is sure that except in the rarest case it is very monotonous and wearying to minister and people. He favors therefore a circuit plan wherever it is practicable. The one man system, he says, is doomed: "Common sense is against it aud all the tendencies of the age are against it." Such a system is unknown in the Latin and Greek churches. On the continent the Protestant pastors change often, and where they can preach in rotation; the variety giving interest and securing for all the talents lof a number of ministers. God's Will. A gentleman visited a deaf and dumb asylum, and having looked upon ail me Slieui maimen, iic requested to ask some of them a question by writing it upon the black board. He did not know what ques tion to ask, but at last he ventured to write this inquiry in chalk upon the board : "Why did God make you deaf and dumb, and make me so that I could hear and speak?" The eyes of the silent ones were filled with tears: it was a great mystery. Their cleverness made no answer, but their piety made eloquent reply. One of the little fellows went up to the board, and taking the chalk, urrnfo under the Question this answer : "Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight." N. O. Christian Advocate. The late General Conference, in New i York, discussed a great many ques-j tions, and the Western Christian Advocate wonders why there was such an "inexplicable and ominous") silence on tne subject of "class meet-; ings!" The Western seems to us to point out the cause in this sentence: "The silence of the Conference is ominous because it argues indifference to the acknowledged decay into which the class is falling." When things begin to decay, they can no longer be used efficienly. The class meeting of Methodism is going, and will soon be a thing of the past, and what is strange is, that the pastor is running it out of the church. He is doing the class leader's work.
