s'.-V* What Otlicrs Say. St. Louis Advocate. We are satisfied tiiat one cause of the beebleuess of conviction :iud the surface results in our meetings is we sing too much. Too much singing tends t<> destroy conviction. This is true to some extent when the most solid and serious hymns are sung, but mor^ especially is it true when the singing is of the light, insubstantial kind that is so popular nowadays. President Finney, whose large experience and clear insight into spiritual operations entitles his opinion to great weight, says: "A great deal of singing often injures a prayer-meeting. The agonizing spirit of prayer does not lead people to sing. But if I know what it is to travail in birth for souls, Christians never feel less like singing than when they have the spirit of prayer for sinners. Singing is the natural expression of feelings that are joyful and cheerful. The spirit of prayer is not the spirit ol joy. It is a spirit of travail and agony of soul, supplicating aud pleading with God with strong sighing.* and groanings that cannot be uttered. Thia in nmro liku nnv thinir else thai! it is like singing. I have known states of feeling where you could not distress the people of God more than to begin to sing?it would be so entirely different from their feelings. Why, if you knew your house was on fire, would you just stop and sing a hymn before you put it out? How would it look when a building was on fire, and the fireman are all collected, for tin firemen to stop and sing a hymn'? 1! is just about as natural for the peoph to 9ing when exercised with a spirit ol prayer. When people feel like pulling men out of the fire, they do not fee! like singing. I never knew a singing revival to amount to much. Its tendency is to do away with all deep feeling." Few things will sooner arrest the deep work of the Spirit 011 the conscience and heart than for a company of thoughtless, prayerless young people to sing lustily the frivolous hymns and tunes that so well accord with their own non-spiritual case. Evangelical Messenger. Bittek Words.?A single bittei word may disquiet an entire family foi a whole day. One surly glance easts ii gloom over the household, while <1 smilp likpa Hpjini of sunshine, may light up the darkest and wearies; hours. Like unexpected flowers which spring up along our path, full of freshness, fragrance and beauty, so kind words and gentle acts and sweet dispositions make glad the sacred spoi called home. No matter how humbii the abode, if it be sweetened with kindness and smiles, the lit art will turn lovingly toward it from all the tumults of the world, and home, if it be ever so homely, will be the dearest spot beneath the circuit of the sun. A. R. rresbyterian. Earnest workers are never grumblers. Those who are deeply interested in the work of the Church have n? time for wrangling. They may not bi satisfied with what they .see, but the\ tl-m Kn:-f urotT 1a VklOlw) llliltfiw ItVi tUUl ItiV/ UVOl t? UJ IV HIV.iiU HIIU4,, is by doing something rather than b\ criticising. Fault-fiiulers pull down, workers build up. Yet there is a place for earnest, steadfast dissent. There comes a time in the history of almost every congregation when'some Paul must withstand Peter to the face. Raleigh Advocato. At a Baptist meeting somewhere in North Carolina the following question was asked: "Has a pastor the right t< invite a brother preacher to preach foi him without consulting the church 01 its officers?" Brother T. T. Speight gave the following amusing answer: "Resolved, That a pastor has a right t< ask a brother preacher into the pulpit, and the church has the right to as/. him out." New York Christian Advocate. "The worldly professor who find? his pleasure in display, in businessprosperity, in giving and receiving calls, in entertainments in his own family, in literature, music or the externals of the church, who judges sermons merelv bv their intellectual qualities, and the services of the sanctuary by their power to please tintaste, is without true love for Christ." The Metropolitan. Ask these tremendous Methodist workers if religion is declining. Their ready answer is: "What do you suppose we build an extra church for every day in the year? Not beeausc we have a mania for churches, hut because they are needed in every part ol the country." Then visit the l?'oreign Missionary Society; learn that they raise a million a year to carry the gospel to the heathen. "NVlio give that amount of money ? Great wealth and content seldom live together. Keligion is not a dogma, nor an emotion, but a service. Who hath a greater combat than he that laboreth to overcome himself? Never let your own inner lite get low in your search after the lives of others. Conduct is the great profession : behavior is perpetually revealing us; what a man does tells what he K When Christ came into the world, peace was sung; and when he weiu out of the world, peace was bequeathed. Let the world see, by your heavenly lives, that religion is something more than opinions, or a task of outward duties. No life is so safe as to avoid all slips and defection, but the really good one has a quick and certain power of recuperation. He who has learned to commune with God becomes able to see him ev-l erywhere. Prayer places us, with all our surroundings, in the light of the eternal. If there is not enough of the Christian religion in Europe and America tn at on war forever between nations, there'certainly ought to lie common sense enough. To him who recognizes its true character and avails himself of what it brings, isn't Sabbath a welcome break into the toil and care and worry of, week-day secularities? Wit loses its respect with the good,1 when seen in company with malice; I and to smile at a jest which plants a: thorn in another's breast, is to become a principal in the mischief. Faith shines most brightly in beleiving things that seem incredible?hope shines in expecting things that seem' improbable?patience in bearing crosses that appear intolerable. The best remedy for our discontent, is to count up our mercies. Uy the time we have reckoned up a part of these, we shall be on our knees praising the Lord for his mercy and love. lienjamin Franklin said : "The eyis of other people are the eyes that ruin, j If all but myself were blind I should; neither want a line house nor line furnit ire." j Curing: a Stincry Boy. Jimmy was the stingiest little boy' you ever knew. He couldn't bear to j give :iway a cent, nor a bite of an ap-| pic, nor a crumb of candy. He couldn't even bear to lend his sled, or his knife, or his hoop or skates All of h' friends were very sorry he was so stingy, and talked to him a great deal about it. But he couldn't see any reason why he should give away what he wanted himself. "If I didn't want it," he would say, "p'r'aps I would give it away: but why should I give it away when I want it myself?" "Because it is nice to be generous," said his mother, "and to think about the happiness of other people. It makes you feel better and happier yourself. If vou give your sled to little ragged Johnny, who never had one in his life, you will feel a thousand times better watching his enjoyments of it than if you had kept it yourself." "Well," said Jimmy, "I'll try it.' The sled was sent oil", while Jimmy looked on as if he was taking a dose of rhubarb. "How soon shall I feel better?" he asked by and by. "I don't feel as well as I did when I had the [-led. Are you sure I shall feel bet | "Certainly," answered his mother; J "hut if you keep on giving something away you will feel better all the sooner " Then he gave away a kite, and thought lie didn't feel quite as well as liefore. He gave away a silver piece that he had meant to spend for taffy. Then he said, "I don't like this giving away things; it doesn't agree with me. I don't feel any better. I like ! icing stingy best." Just then ragged Johnny came up the street, dragging his sled, looking is proud a* a prince, and asking all the hoys to take a slide with him. Jimmy iK'gan to smile as he watched him, and said, "You might give Johnny my overcoat; he's littler than I am, and he doesn't seem to have one. T think ?I guess?I know I'm beginning to feel ever so much better. I'm glad I crave Johnny the sled. I'll give away something else." And Jimmy has been feeling better [since that hour.?Our Little Ones. TTork Deliberately. There are some things that must be done in a hurry, or not at all. Catching a flea is one of the best examples ?pf0)>0R to this, lint as a rule, it is l?afe to say. the man or woman who j works deliberately accomplishes the most. The deliberate worker is the j | thoughtful worker, with whom the habit of system has become second na-l ture. Any one may cultivate it who will take the trouble to try; and the most unsystematic, spasmodic worker j will realize with amazement how easy I it is to get through an allotted task in ! half the time it formerly required, by planning it all out before entering the office, workshop, or kitchen. Thr hurried worker is the one who fancies be is an uncommonly busy man. True, he is; so is the man who tries to bnle out a leaky boat with a crownless hat. and in proportion to the | energy expended, very often, the one accomplishes about as much as the [other. The busiest men we have j known were those who never seemed to be in a hurry, and they accomplish od more in a (riven time, and were less , worn out when their work was done, 'than many who accomplished half as | much, and almost killed themselves in doing it. Think about your work before beginninir it, then <ro at it deliberately. II will save wear and tear of nerve and mnscle, you will accomplish more, and what you do will be better done. To Prevent Damage by Moths. ?As moths are not troublesome until the weather becomes warm or in houses which are well heated, it is nof necessary to use any precautions against them in (he Winter. As Spring approaches and furs are laid aside, they should be well beaten and thoroughiy dusted with fine Scotch "?nuft', then folded or rolled and put in bags of strong cotton cloth with a few leaves of tobacco, and tied up tightly. These bags should be hung in a light nlace where thev are frequently dis- j im bed. Larger furs are best preserved by packing tliem away after dusting :liem liberally with snuff, in a whisky or brandy cask and heading them up close. Furs which have been exposed lo danger should be well beaten in the sunshine and sprinkled with benzine or put in a trunk in which some papers saturated with benzine are laid in a false bottom. Benzine is fatal to all insects. Not Worth the Getting.?A popular work on business has this true statement about that enticing thing, success: "As a rule, the men who succeed in business have to give up their entire life to labor in mastering and regulating the details thereof, and thereby l<>s?' all capabilities for a better life, ail relish for recreation and contemplation, and all true appreciation of the leisure when it come at last, as the faculties for enjoyment, like all others, .... i,,? ii.ii* must (Vnni want of use?grow atiophied with disease; and the successful man, with much to retire upon, has nothing to retire to; for literature, science, domesticities, publie and philanthropic interests?nature itself, with its exhaustlcss loveliness and its perennial refreshment?have been lost sight of during the mad struggle, and these are treasures the key to which soon grows rusty; and ! friends that once slighted, cannot he whistled hack at will. So we sacrifice life to a fivinr/ and lay the foundation of a sad and dreary old age. Tin-: Thing Wonkkd Out.?In our school day arithmetic, as we passed to a new section, we were greeted with an example of the new section worked out. l)r. Franklin could not convince the farmers that plaster enriched the soil; so he took plaster, and formed it into a si'nteuce by the road side, 'l'lie wheat coming up through those letters was about twice as rank and green as 1 the other wheat, and the farmers could read for months, in letters of living green, this sentence, This has been p/(tst< >'> ((. Arguments and culture and line sermons cannot convince sinners; they want to read, in pulpit, in pew, in our utter separation from the world, in our contcntedness of mind and victorious joy, that religion is true. Let us have the thing worked out. The defects of a true man's character are seen only by those who know him intimately and watch him critic-ally in his fierce struggle for the victory over the wrong. Jle whose temper is naturally lletyand voilent is furl more worthy <?f credit when he preserves a calmness and serenity of man-! ner under strong incentives to resentment than the man who is by nature obtuse in his emotions, and is seldom aroused to any show of anger or petulance under the most exasperating provocation. The pen is a mighty engine, and it sometimes runs away with the engineer. ?Chico<jo Timt'H. 'J*<- A * ~ BROWNE AND HEMMENWAY. APOSTLES OF "PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN." Letter ?f Rev. John Hemnienwny to Rev. Sidl II. Browne, in Tender Solicitude for the "Christian Neighbor"?Reply of Mr. Browne. Who Renews Hi* Vow to Work to the End for the Cnuse of Pence. Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!) Awoke one niglit from a deep dream of peace, And saw within the moonlight In his room, Making It rich and like a Illy In bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold : Exceeding pence had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the presence In the room he said. "What writest thou?"?The vision raised its head, And. with a look made of all sweet accord. Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord." "And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so." Replied the angel.?Abou spoke more low. But cheerly still; and said, "I pray thee, then, Write me as one that loves bis fellow-men." The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night I it came apain, Willi a great waKcninj? iiRiib, And showed the names whotn love of God liad blessed,? : And, lo! Ben Ad hem's name led all the rest! These brethren have gone eo far on their journey to the River that they may almost hear the angelic symphonies beyond the swelling tide. They still, in old age, cling in childlike faith to the religion of the Saviour, whose precepts taught, and whose life exemplified that blessed religion of peace on earth and good will to men. These loving and beloved brethren take no part in the apostolic doctrine, wherein the simple enunciation of "faith," is a sufficient excuse to justify kiln-dried whited sepulchres for robbing, under the guise of a contract, any unwary neighbor who might fall under his power; they take no 9tock in that "faith" which would counteuance the bearing down of the weak, or would oppress the poor; they think a simple proclamation of "faith" does not warrant any of God's self-appointed elect, in putting a cruel foot on the nccK 01 uie iiumiuesi?uiougn it may be the best?of God's created beings. No; they partake of none of that harsh religion of the apostles, that would encourage any whited sepulchre in the belief that the people would give him credit for serving his Lord and Master, while driving the steel deep down into the soul of any poor unfortunate creature who may have fallen under his power. Jso; none of the harsh, cruel, and ugly religion of those "who are better than thou." find anv lodirment in their hearts. But they embrace the religion, the precepts, autl the practices of Him who first loved us, ami died that we might live. They preach the doctrines of brotherly love and practice the principles of humanity as exemplified in the life of Him whose incomparable beauty of character, and whose exceeding love of mankind would lead us up to our Father's house. Having worked so faithfully for the advancement of the Redeemer's kingdom, in overcoming war and bloodshed among the sons of men, these brethren will no doubt receive the well done of Him who is to judge the earth. ine worm is oeuer ior uie lives 01 Sidi H. Browne and John Hcuiraenway. The following is the letter and the editorial to which reference has been made : Letter of Rev. Jolin Heninienmny to the Kriitor of the "Christian Xeifjlibor." 1 received last evening the 52d number of the Christian Neighbor for the year 1888. I always read the Neighbor with much interest, and yet with a measure of sadness, for I think its future life cannot be a long one. The p]ditor is now nearly seventy years old, and when his Master shall call him to the holy world of everlasting peace, I think the Neighbor will stop forever, for I cannot see how its life can be longer than the life of its Editor. If Brother Browne can see a longer life for the paper than his own life, I hope he will be so kind as to tell me in an editorial or by a private letter. I had for years a hope that the dear, loving children of the Editor would be able to continue it, and that it might be published as long as Sidi H. Browne should have a descendant on earth. And this was the wish and hope of my precious wife, now in heaven. She wrote to the old est daughter 01 me UAiitor in xsoveinber, 1S75, thus: "The Christian Neighbor comes to us weekly 'as cold waters to a thirsty soul.' May that dear Neihgbor's life be as lasting as time." The Christian Neighbor was her favorite religious paper, aud as for me I would rather have any religious paper in the South or in the North die forewr than the Neighbor. The Editor's son T see has left the Neighbor, and I suppose forever. I am glad and thankful that the Editor is still so cheerful, and does not regret but rather rejoices that he started the paper twenty-one years ago. I would like to know how much he has lost or gained by the paper from its beginning to the present time. I hope he has not seriously injured himself, but I cannot see how it can have been profitable to him, excepting in a consciousness that he has been patiently laboring, for the last twenty-one years, in behalf of the precious and glorious cause of "peace 011 earth and good will toward men." The cause of Peace, and every other good cause in the world, would have progressed very rapidly for the last twenty-one years, if every religious paper had been as religiously and phiiantliropieally sound as the Christian X high noil has been. But alas! alas ! ! nearly all the religious papers in the world, though they do a great deal of good in the cause of Christ, they do a great deal to help the cause of Satan, who was "a murderer from the beginning," by justifying murder by war. I know that editors of and writers for religious papers all say "We do not justify war, only in a good cause. When the cause is not good war is wrong." On such an erroneous principle any evil conduct, however abominable, can be justified, if the cause is good. By the doctrines of Christ's sermon on the Mount, war cannot be justified in any case, in or between nations, by Christians becom ing soldiers, any more than the dreadful crime of adultery can be justified by that sermon, and in fact the war spirit and conduct is more fully and pointedly condemned in that sermon by our Saviour than adultery. Will Brother Browne be so good as to tell the readers of the Neighbor (when and how he came to have his [eyes opened so wide upon the sin of war. Will be give us fully his Peace experience? John Hf.mmenway. Saint Anthony Park, Minnesota, January 3rd, 1SS9. >Ir. Browne, in Reply : John Hemmenway's letter in another column calls for some notice. Though received four days after it was written, the letter was laid by thinking it might not be inappropriate for the present number?the 21st anniversary of the Neighbor. The kind words of the esteemed and venerable friend of the Neighbor and its editor are appreciated, for we have no doubt of the sincerity of the author j in what he says. Wlietlier tne me 01 me imuuiusuk be longer than that of its editor we cannot tell. As long as the editor lives, God willing, the Neighbor shall live also. While living we shall try to provide for the continuancc of the paper as an unswerving peace journal until the editor shall have gone "the way of all the earth," and, if possible, until there shall "be time no longer." Though Jwe have not at present any satisfactory arrangement far perpetuating the publication of the Xbio iiror, yet we are persuaded it will outlive the editor. Let these contingencies fall out as they may, we shall not be moved from our life-long purpose to publish the Neighbor in the interests of peace and against the iniquities of war. As in the past, so now, soine persons are anxious for the perpetuity of the Xeighbok; others somewhat prefer that it live on; others indifFereut?are ? ?iis r.... u i:..~ ..^,1 ?? ?.;ii Willing 1WI Jl/ IU IIVCUI1U OUUUl ?3 Mining for it to die; others have done what they could to starve it to death by subscribing and not paying; others have Iried to run it out of the State or press it to the wall; others have made it the "speckled bird ;" others charge it with disloyalty to the civil and ecclesiastiul "powers that be;" others might not grieve themselves to death if the Neicjhhor were dead now, or had uever been born. If we have misrepresented any person or any class it is unintentional, and we stand ready to do the amende honorable to any who may be aggrieved and make the grievance known. The"Said-so" friends have not tried waiting for the Neighbor to "prove a failure." These friends as well as the who "of envy" will have to wait a while longer?mayhap die "without the sight." Whether we have lost or gained (in dollars and cents) in publishing the Neigpbor we are not prepared to answer with exactness. If the enterprise had not been made by certain others to cost the proprietor more than was nccesmry, and if old delinquent subscribers had paid, and if all current subscriber would pay what is now due we might declare in 'favor of "gain"? without allowing anything for the threefold service of proprietor, editor and publisher. We caanot now give fully our experience in having our eyes opened on the sin of war. May do so at another time. For the present, suffice it to say that as we?reluctantly?held the Christian Scriptures over the bloody facts of the late war, our opening eyes saw the disagreement, THE OPPOSITION, THE ANTAGONISM between Christianity and war, and we resolved, come what might, that henceforth we would never speak, write or act in favor of any war as long as we might live. From that day to this we have kept that vow. From this day to the last on earth we shall, in the strength of Christ, ''walk by the same rule, and mind the same thing." Though Brother Hemmen way's letter called for the foregoing references to the life of this Editor and his paper we record with gratitude to God that the Neighbor is moving along the x ... e : L 1 4.1.?4- * 1?? ...1 even it'uur 01 jis way, auu mai me cuitor is in good health. A Song in the ATght. The Rev. M. D. Hoge, D. D., of Richmond, Va, recently related the following incident: "Once I made a visit to a young person in this city who had long been a sufferer from a disease which caused her unspeakable pain. Her kind physician stood by her with tears in his eyes, but could only give her temporary relief. After he left I tried to say a few soothing, comforting words to her, and she said : " 'Yes, I sutler great pain, I often lay awake all night, unable to sleep because of it, but I have one compensation.' " 'One compensation,' I asked, what is that. ?' "Said she, 'It is this: Often when I cannot close my eyes in sleep I have such a sense of God's loving and reconciling presence all about me that I have learned what Job means when he talks about songs in the night.' "Whether it be a fact in natural history that the nightingale pours forth Koh oxtrrvrtf c\lif wlion b)io Inn no hor bosom against a thorn I do not know, but I do know that in the experience of many a Christian 'the anguish of the singer gives sweetness to the song,' and that they are the best comforters of others who 'learn in suffering what they teach in song.' " "No one can be saved by the commandments, but much Jess can he be saved without them." The brotherly love does not look so much at the worthiness of the person as at the need and misery. The whole secret of good manners is to "do unto others as you would that they should do unto you." There is nothiug wholly good orbad. There are spots upon the sun, and bright gleams in the coal mine. There is a transcendent power in example. We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly. The man who thinks himself indisiiancalilii In flip flllllT'll of U'llifll he IS a member, is the very man that church ould best afford to lose. SJWlien one has learned to seek the honor that cometh from t*od only, he will take the withholding of the honor that comes from man very quietly indeed. There are many who do not enter the kingdom of heaven just because they will not believe the tiny key which is handed them fit to open its hospitable gate. All impatience of monotony, all weariness of best things, even, are but signs of the eternity of our nature, the broken human fashions, of the divine everlastingness. ''There is no substitute for personal piety. It is the true influence against which sin cannot stand. Herein isniv Father glorified that ye bear much fruit, so shall ye be my disciples. This is Christ's recognition of his people." .ATTENTION Horse Raisers.
