It is in the ninth verse of " ?salm iii?"He sent redemption untoi'1 lis people; He hath commanded his ? jovenaut forever; holy and reverend J' s his name." Of all eccle.-iastienl dig- ' litaries the Pope alone, the self-elected 11 ,'icar of Christ, lays claim to the title 1 )f "Holiness;" but under what war- * ant do modem ministers, making no ;laim to the possession of infallibility, c irrogate to themselves the title of f Reverend?" "Does it accord with 1 :he meekness and lowliness of heart * which Christ enjoins on his followers, 1 that any or tnese snouiu voiunianiyr issurae tl.is lofty name which is a pre- 1 rojrative of Omnipotence ? ( The title was unknown during the ' primative Christian centuries, and, indeed, appears to have been generally adopted only within the last two hundred years. It was taken up by the Episcopacy as well as by tlit Romanists, but was denied to the Dissenters, ( with whom, however, it came into ' general use. Nevertheless, the ' Friends, the Mennouities and prob- 1 ably a few other denominations, (nu- 1 merically small) of German dervia- ' tion, are pronounced in the disuse of 1 it. Concering the origin of the term ! tlie following item from "Notes and 1 Queries" (First Series, Vol. VI, No. 150) may be of interest: "During the seventeenth century the ( word 'reverend' was usually coupled with 'learned,' as in the following eases : Vaughan, in his 'Life of Dr. 1 Jackson,'thus commences it: 'Being earnestly desired to deliver some character of the reverend and learned Dr. Jaeksou,' etc. Bishop Patrick, too, in his 'Annotations on Solomon's Song,' viii: 7, quotes 'the reverend and learned Dr. Hammond.' And beneath the portrait of John Kettlewell prefixed to his work on the Apostles' Creed we read that it is "The true elllgy to their names in their works. It is clearly a title of modern usage, neither sanctioned nor required by any law oncanon, and from the growing inconveniences that attend its use it may the more easily be discontinued if judged necessary/' "Mention is ouly made of the fact, in a recent number of the same periodical (Fifth Series, Vol. VJ that upon the Judicial Court of the Privy council Ol ureal nnuuu im\ mg uccided in 1875 that "reverend" is not a peculiar title of office or dignity, but one of courtesy, several of the clerical sulwcribers to one of the English papers desired that the same might he sent them without the prefix "Rev." to their names. There are evidences warranting the belief that an increasing number ol Christian ministers would be glad to rid themselves and the Church at large of this self-assertive designation. While lack of faith and of a willing ness to be little in the world's estimation may have, perhaps, almost unconsciously operated with many to prevent a giving up in this matter, yet others (of whom may be instanced a Presbyterian of large attainments and much humility of mind, not long deceased, the late Albert Barnes) clearly discerning the pointing of the Holy Spirit herein, have been constrained to drop the title, while sincerely desiring to be no more addressed thereby. When riding in a train some months ?icm ft man whom I knew bv face but not by name seated himself "besides me, and handed me his card by way of introduction. He had no*, much more than done so, when he extended his baud for it, and, at the game time taking a pencil from his pocket, effectually marked out the "Rev." which preceded his name. He then handed il 1 back with some deprecatory remark about title being of no cousequeuce to him. I bad the impression that he might have felt more at ease had the affix been left off before it went into the hands of the priuter. The late Nathan Brown, of New ' England, a Baptist, and for many < years a missionary in Assam and JaBan, and translator of portions of tbr 1 iible iuto the vernacular of those < lauds, had conferrred upon him (1885) ' the degree of "Doctor of Divinity" by J Williams College, responded from the 1 far East ; "I have long felt, in com- 1 mon no doubt with many others, that ' the customary use of D. D. as a mark 1 of distinction among ministers of the ( gospel, or as an appendage to the com- ^ tuon address of an individual, is liable ; to serious objections. Regarded simply > as a college honor like the title of A. < B. or A. M. its application would beattended with fewer inconveniences." ' He hence trusts that his friends will J both write or speak of him in a plain 1 tnanuer. ? A Methodist editor said, in referring ? to the printed Minutes of a Yearly < Meeting of the Society of Friends which he had recently received and of > the absence of honorary titles : "The ^ plain, straightforword way of doing c business as showu by the Minutes is f worthy of imitation by other religious issemblies.

It is to be hoped that they will faithfully adhere to this so-called "minor testimony." The Guide to Holiness, another Methodist journal, lately referred to 'the impropriety of the term 'Reverend' applied to ministers," and idded, ''We should welcome its disuse, itid thedoctrate also. Itthence showed a desire to exemplify its convictions, ay printing a page of "News from the Field," with names of the numerous ministering brethren mentioned 'shorn if the inappropriate title." That eminent Baptist preacher, ipurgeon, has a testimony to bear upon this matter, and as his words secure a hearing from all Christians, :hey are appended below : CHARLES II. SI'UROKOX'S VIEWS.

No c ensible person does reverence us one t [>t more because we assume the title, j t certainly is in some cases a flagrant j misnomer, aud its main use seems to be pestilent one of keeping up the dis i net ion of clergy and laity. | We wonder when men first sought ( >ut this invention and from whose iriginal mind (lid tne original urn em- | nate?

It is not opportunity and the lack of jpportunity, not ability and the lack Df ability, tbatmakethe difference in he power of human lives for good. It s faith, character and the lack of charlcter. It is consecration and concentration, and the failure to consecrate and concentrate. It is courage and selfdeuial over against cowardice and selfishness. There is a potential hero of faith, a possible prophet of larger truth, in 3very soul. The door of supreme opportunity swings open to every man and woman, church and nation. In some great moment God stands before each and says: "Now is thy time! Show what is in thee ! Show the world thy ah KlimlnacQ I" And what I V I51UII \ 'l H1J Ulll'UU ooo ?... v. makes one great and the other small is that one grasps what the other passes by. One enters the door of opportunity which the other fails to enter because of the cowardice of unbelief. One looks at himself and fails; while the other looks God and His universe in the face and dares to trust, trust in spite of the stupidity of the church, the mockery and unbelief of the world, the misunderstanding of friends. Harlan Page, pressed with business cares, battling with ill health, led a hundred young men into the ministry by cousecrating his personal influence to Christ; yet every business man in New York had the same Christ and the same opportunity. John Wesley became the apostle of a new dispensation of diviue grace to the world; yet every student in Oxford had the same opportunity to gather about him a half dozen fellow students for prayer and Scripture study and divine guidance. The noble daughter of William E. Dodge has consecrated herself and wealth and time to solving the problem of the poor in New York city; yet many rich men's daughters have the same opportunity. George Muller, beginimr in poverty, has built up those or phan homes in Bristol, England, which are a miracle of prayer the unbe'ief of the world cannot gainsay: yet there were other students in the German univesity where he studied upon whom the same spirit of prayer was pressing. Time would fail me to tell of the many who through faith have seen the purposes of God in their day which the pride and unbelief of the world would not see, and have made them their opportunity. It therefore behooves us each to be about our Father's business, watchful for our opportunities; for the nght Cometh, in which no man can work. In an hour when we think not the Son of Man may come to us, in the supreme moment of our life, and find us sleeping on the threshnold of a matchless opportunity. It is God's part to estimate the value of our service; it is our part to serve and question not.? The Advance. Annt Dolly Elmer. Aunt Dolly Elmer was a little old woman who, nearly a hundred years igo, lived all alone by herself in a jountry town iu Vermont. The little girls in the neighborhood used to go and sit with her, and she taught them a great many useful lessons. Indeed, Aunt Dolly found a lesson iu everything. Was she reelug yarn, she would say, perhaps: :his skeiu of yarn is like our duily ives; some of the time it runs swiftly ind evenly without a break, theu 1 i. ? M jotnes a snari, or a kuui, ur a umgic, mil it often arises from our baste, or mpatience, or a freak of temper; and f we are not careful, it makes us much irouble, and leads us into difficulty." One day, when Anna Simmons lappened to be sitting with Aunt Dolly the dear larly was called away to go in haste to see a sick neighbor. She hung the skein of yarn she was ibout to wind, over the back of her :hair, and went out. "There!" thought Anna, "T will vind that yarn myself. I know how veil enough , and I have a right to lo it for she is to knit it into stockings 1 or me." 1 So she managed to put the skein of ' >right red yarn upon the long arms of he swift, and began to wind. She 1 bjind an end, but it would not be per- 1 niaded to wind oft* evenly, and soon J ihe had broken it iu severul places. When Auut Dolly returned, the I vhole skein was in a sad tangle. 1 ' O, my child," she said, "you began 1 vrong. You put the skein upon the ! wift wrong side up, and then you ' vereiu such haste to begin winding 1 hat you did not take time to find the ' ightend. Your work is like a day >egun without prayer.

Dr. Joha Hall concludes an article n theChristian Weekly as follows: We can see no liberty or equity in be principle that one class of the lommunity is to enjoy, while to enable hem to do so another class on railways, 11 hotels, public houses, parks, or tands of music must work. We de>lore the corruption of any man's conicience by tempting him with bread "or his family on condition of his forfeiting the Lord's Day. "And finally, we deprecate the unbounded and altogether mistaken ideas ;hat in advocacy of 'Sunday recreations' have been put forward regarding the nature of worship, as if the enjoymeut of a green field or a glass palace were worship. Mere joyous feeling is not worship. Mere solemn feeling it* n >t worship. To be awed and hushed by the sight of a sacred pile is not worship. To worship is to have the mind In an active state. These only require to be passive. In worship there needs a definite religious act which feeling accompanies, but the want of which feeling cannot supply. To worship is to express before God penitence auu hope and praise througn Jesus Christ and in the manner He enjoins. "To want this though our delight rises high and our feelings be intense, is to serve Hini, not as intelligent, dependent, and blood-bought creatures, but in somewhat of the sense in wbicli the beasts of the field honor Him, They are mere recipients; we are actively and joyously to show forth the praise of Him who calleth us out of th? darkness into His marvelous light; and to feel that one day in His courts is better than a thousand elsewhere Let the working classes seek by right means a Saturday half-holiday, and rightly to enjoy it, that they may bt the better fitted for coming into th< courts of Gods's house on His own daj and employees and employed willhavt a day together."
