"Commit thy Way?Oh Wcc|?er." [Paul Gerdhardt, German pastor, was tlie au tbor of tbis, one of the most remarkable hymns ever composed.] Commit thy way?oh, weeper, TK*k Aoroo that- frAt- f.hv vjoill . To thine Almighty keeper, Who makes the world to roll. Unto the Lord?who gnideth The wind and clouds and sea. Oh, doubt not, he provldeth A pathway, too, for thee. Trust also?for 'tis bootless To murmur, and forebode: The Almighty arm Is doubtless Full strong to bear thy load. In him?hide all thy sorrow He'll put thy fears to flight. And make a glorious morrow To crown thy bead with light. And he shall bring it nigh thee, The goal thou long hast sought, Though now It seems to fly thee, Thou shalt at length be brought. To pass from grief to gladness, From night to clearest day, Where doubt and fear and sadness Shall all have passed away. The Amen Corner. Malice, iiku uieasies, iuuy reiuaiu hidden for a time but the moment you get hot it will break out all over your face. Probing the Bible with cold intellect to find trnth is like probing the brain with cold steel to find thought. I have noticed that people who believe in mixing politics and religion generally manage to put politics iu' their religion without putting any religion in their politics. A religious paper iu the house where the altar fire gives forth nothing but smoke, will often start a blaze that will light and warm every nook and corner in the house. When the devil wants make a liar of a boy, he gets his mother in the habit <>f t.?lline society fibs. The only thingabout some Churches 1 that tells which way they are aiming is 1 the steeple. 1 , Growling is the voice of greed. 1 That is why a dog growls at you wheu I he is busy with a bone. And that is ' why a man growls at you for interrupt- i log him when be is busy. The sbab- ' blest thing about our modern Christianity is that it excuses a man for 1 being a brute when he is busy. One 1 of the most unapproachable men I ' know is an eminent Christian worker ( who claims the right to be impolite oo the ground that his work is more im?ortant than shaking hands with folks, f God was as unsociable as some of his children, we would never have the courage to pray to him more than once in a life time. VYUOU ru^iueii wnu it's a jingle: when "pray" rhymes with "obey" it's a joy. The blackest storm cloud has God's promise written in letters of light across the back. The Sunday School is a good thing in its place but it was never intended for mother's place. There are mothers who put their babie9 in Sunday School just as they put eggs in an incubator, t The critic's effort to rid the the Bible s of difficulties is like the child's effort e to scour aclean floor with a dirty rag. a Difficulty and dirt are made where c there were little or none before.' t We do not need to possess more truth b until the truth we have has possessed ii us. c Satan takes more pride in the piety b of some men than in the sins of b others. The piety for instance that puts a bank note in the collection plate c and puts off paying the washerwoman c at the cost of her Sunday breakfast. g If you don't want to be betrayed v into the hands of the enemy keep an n eye on your temper. A bad temper rarely fails to give a man away sooner f or later. v When a man gets in a pet he says he b is nervous. When he is sullen it is his H liver. When he feels like snapping s your head off and tells you so he calls a it indigestion. When he whoops a- g round the house like a maniac, yells at b his wife, knocks over the chairs and c throws the tongs after the cat be is said t to be letting oft' steam. When he sue- s ceeds in doing something that be can't lay to any natural causes he lays it on v the devil. Once or twice in a life time si we come acro?8 a man who shoulders tl his own sins and confesses that he is s too mean to live. a Our children may step in our tracks v with safety only as our footprints fall e 1n with the footprints of Jesus. ' 1< We are not heard for our much e speaking, but man who never spends ? but two minutes at a time in his closet n does not need a veil to cover his face o when he goes down the street. b No man knows what it is to live for c Christ who has not learned to live with c Christ. You don't live for a stranger u but for a friend. If you have found your religion a a sour pickle, don't try to get other r people in the same pickle. Get a bet- e ter article yourself, and when your r friends see that you have made a good d investment they will be more apt to h give you a hearing. i< The shabbiest side of our modern life r< is its greediness. We gulp down eve- b ry hour of the six days God gives us e and sit up nights to devise ways and I; means to cheat him out of the only unjr Lie umsicsci vcu iui uiiuseu. ? God always comes to our help iu the a nick of time. What a great many h folks are fretting about is that he will o not come ahead of time, and let them g know that he is on hand.?Rev. E. L. tJ Pell, in Southern Presbyterian. \ An important thing in the training ot children is to teach them to finish what they begin. If a little girl is making a dress for her doll she ought to be taught to finish it, and not to lay it away half done and begin another dress or to seek some other amusement. It may be said that it is a matter of no importance whether the doll's dress is finished at all or not. Yes, but it is a matter of some importance that your child shall not get into the habit of leaving unfinished the unimportant things of childhood ; the habit will cling to them when they have to deal with important things of later life. A child who will begin one thing and quit it unfinished to make another and that again for something else, is laying a poor foundation for the future. And the parent who permits a child to form such a habit is responsible for that child's failure in life. One thing begun and finished is worth many things begun and unfinished. With an eye to . the future life life of your children . teach them to finish what they begin . though they be making nothing but doll's dresses or building houses of . wooden blocks.?A. R. Presbyterian. . One of the best ways to punish a 1 child is to find out what the child * wants to do and then prohibit it from ' m doing that thing for a while. Perhaps s it may be well to prohibit a certain t kind of food of which the child is 1 fond, as a punishment for misde- t meanor. The going without will s teach him self control and be a con- { Btaut reminder of his error. Some s method of this sort is much better 1 than corporal punishment, which us- 6 ually hurts only for a few moments and 1 , the chief effect of which is to make 1 the child angry. 1 4'ontciilmciil. "A man's life consisteth not in tlie abundance of the things which he possesseth," hut it does consist largely in the way in which he regards his possessions. The wear and tear of getting their possessions, and the burden of keening them, destroys all the comfort of life for some people, and the -J * I,.... Annn/vf uesne lor ijjiuga tuc.y uauuut ^ci/iuui them of comfort in what they already have. Covetness is put in the category " of vices which no right-mindea m person would for a moment tolerate. In Eph. v., 3, the worst sins are mentioned : "Or covetness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;" and in another of St. Paul's epistles Ihe ranks it with the most unchristian vices, and calls it "idolatry." It mnst have a very bad , root. God must have known it would J be a root of bitterness in anv soul, I which would bear very poisonous I fruit, or He would not have put upon " the tables of stone written with His own finger the command, "Thou shalt not covet," specifying particulars and finishing with: "Nor anything that is thy neighbor's." St. Paul say? : "Let your conversation or [conduct, your manner of living, your habit of t mimllbe withoutcovetousnes*." Whv? V For the best of reason; "for He hath \ said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee," Cheerfulness and contentment with [>ur lot is not altogether a matter of temperament. It is a matter of nature* with some people to look always :>n the bright side, and to be happy in their surroundings, whatever they may be?and such comfortable beings are to be congratulated. But what nature has not doue for :hose less fortunate, grace surely can xnd ought to do. St. Paul gives the Jeep and sufficient reason for a con:ented spirit: "For He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake ;hee." It is very sweet to accept whatever He gives, and enjoy it in partnership with him; yes, a thousand Limes more sweet than to possess an ibundance of all the heart could wish without his fellowship and favor. _ It may help some soul disquieted j within because of unwelcome changes J n the lot of life to sing with melody .into the Lord Madam Guyou's hymn >f peace: ' My Lord, how full of aweet content, I pass my years of banishment! Where'er I dwell, I dwell With Tbee, In heaven. In earth, or on sea. <v To me remains nor place nor time; My country is in every clime : I can be calm and free frota eare On any shore, Blace God is there. "While place we seek, or place we shun, fc The soul finds happiness in none, Bui with a God to guide our way, S 'Tis equal joy, to go or stay. Conld I be cast where Thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot; ti But regions none remote I call, Secure of finding God in all." If . Tl Boys and Girl*. Until the ages nf eight, nine or ten. G oys and girls engage in nearly the ante sports, if permitted so to do, and njoy them equally. A girl can climh , fence or a tree as well as a boy. She an skate and coast or run as well as a >oy. But when 3he is taught that all >oyish sport are improper for girls, and 3 kept in the house and employed hiefly in sedentary occupatations, she iecomes weaker iu mind and body than ler brothers, who live boys lives. Many girls enjoy boy's sports and oc- t upations, not because they are masuliue, but because the exercise they ive is vigorous, and calls into exercise F arious capabilities of the body and u aind. If you have the giving out of books rom a library to boys and girl9, and by ray of experiment give ahoy a girl's iook, he will almost invariably bring t back without reading it, and with ome sort of contemptuous expression a to its coutents. IJut if you give a ;irl a boy's book, she will not bring it ?ack unread ; she enjoys the out-door b( haracter of the book, and in her secret ai leart, iu nine cases out of ten, wishes fe he were a boy. rn? 11 mere are uiouiers ? pussiui^ uujsu /ho think a mistake was made in the ex they assumed when they came into tie world?who permit their girls to hare all the sports of their brothers ud enjoy the freedom and variety and igor of the boy life. There are mothrs who insist on having their boys earn to do what is commonly consid- ir red the work of girls, and who do not Su ind that it makes boys feminine any [lore than participation in boy's work aakes girls masculine. Either sex cau larness a horse, hoe in the garden, ook, wash, iron, sweep, sew, without hanging by so doing their essential iatures. In our schools aud colleges for girls re taught light aud heavy gymnastics, owing, swimming, and athletic exrcises without regard to sex, though Tl egard is had to the fitness of the in- ]n ividual scholar for the exercise given 8t er. In mixed schools, where physical exercises forma part of the daily nuline. no distinction is made between oys and girls, both take the 9ame exrei9e9, and enjoy them with apparenty equal zest. All this is is in the right direction, -m nd when the clothing of girls shall be, I nd continue to be along into woman- ' ood, as free and untrammeling as that f boys aud men, the time will have one by when physically women will 1 e to so great an extent the "weaker essel." - l8 A gentlemau, one day conversing bi vith a watch-maker upon the dis- fo lonest practice of persons in his way >f business, was thus addressed by lim : "I served my apprenticeship vith a man who did not fear God, and vho consequently was not very scrujulous in tne charges which he made o his customers. He used frequently ;o call me a fool, and tell me I should lie in a work-house, wheu, in his abtence, I used to make such charges as ippeared to me fair and houe?t. "In course of time I set up in busiless for myself, aud have been so suc:essful as never to have wanted a ihilling, whilst my master who used o reproach me for my my honesty, became so reduced iu circumstances is to apply to me for a couple of guin- J :as and did at length himself actually lie in a workhouse." "We have but to look, at the sublime it essons of nature in order to learn low, in every portion of this globe, )oth on the earth aud under it, iu ?very sentient creature, in every lower and tree, in the vegetable as in he animal kingdom, there is a marvelous provision for man's happiness w ind enjoyment. The earth under our feet and the heavens above bear lourly witness that love has been the lource of every fact in nature. If, :hen, there is misery, suffering and ivroug among men, it must come from hem. and from their ignorance aud selfishness. It is for them to obey the iternal laws of right, to fulfil the designs of the Creator, to bring among lien and in humau institutions the I] same harmony, the same beneficence, f ;he same joy and progress, which it ,vas clearly the design of the Creator o give to all his creatures."
