An Irish Echo.?An English paper tells of 1 a humorous incident that is said to have hap- 1 pened once upon a time near Glasgow. It ) seems that a nobleman was anxious to discover whether or not there was an echo at any 1 point upon his estate. He sent one of his men j to search for the echo, and was much pleased 1 when the man returned with the information that there was a fine echo up among the hills. 1 The nobleman invited a party of friends to ' come and listen to the marvellous discovery. j The man who had found the echo accompan- ' ied the party as its guide. Reaching the place, ] he shouted: Hullo!" "Hullo!" came back ' immediately from the hillside. "How are you ?" said one of the company. "How are you ?" came back. In this way the company enjoyed itself until some one shouted : "Will you have a shilling ?" What was the surprise of the party when the Echo answered : "Thank you, sir; I will, sir." The fellow, who had been stationed at a distance to supply the echo, simply submitted to too great a temptation.

I Reading for the MM. CONDUCTED BT REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.] GOD'S FAITHFULNESS. It is near six thousand years, according to the best chronology, since God placed man upon this globe. During all that long period Sod has never, in a single instance, failed to be as good as his word. lie has fulfilled all tiis promises and executed all his threatnings. He has, in no single instance, forsakeif the righteous man, and he has so ordered his providence that the way of the transgressor has ever been hard. No creature, no matter what may be its nature, no matter whether it l)e in heaven or hell, or on earth, can say, with even the semblance of truth, that God has been, at any time, unfaithful. [Original.] PROSPERITY. God is manifestly doing great things for our country. The fields are covered with a rich harvest of golden grain. There are signs that there will be bread for the eater and seed for the sower. Shall we wax fat and Jeshurun like wax fat and kick V Of this there is great danger. There are few things that the human family are so little able to bear as sudden prosperity. They forget that God is the author of all good. They wax proud and utter great swelling words. They forget that they are dependent upon God for everything. The present prospect should fill our hearts with gratitude, and it should clothe us in the garments of deep humility. [Original.] IN CHRIST. The relation which lielievers sustain to Christ is certainly a most interesting one, and it is not more interesting than it is important. The laneruajre chosen by the Holy Spirit to in dicate this relation, is such as conveys the idea of a very close and indestructible union. Christ is represented in the Scriptures as the body and believers as the members. In other words, the same relation subsists between Christ and his people that is between the body and the several members of the body. Near as this relation may be, the relation between Christ and his people is even nearer. The idea of a union between Christ and his people is brought prominently to view, not only in particular passages of the Scriptures, but by the general scojie of all the parts of the Scriptures. This union may be contemplated in a variety of aspects, and in each, it is full of intense interest, and is a source of inexhaustible comfort to every true child of God. It is the privilege as well as the duty of the believer to regard himself as united to Christ in that covenant which Christ, the son of God, made with God, the father. Christ made a covenant with His father for and in behalf of his people. In that covenant?commonly called the Covenant of Grace?Jesus Christ, the Saviour, represented his people just as Adam, the first man, represented in the Covenant of Works, all his posterity. The language of the Scriptures, in describing the representative union which exists between Christ and his people, is very strong. Paul, in the fifth chapter of his second epistle to the Corinthians, at the fourteenth verse, uses this language: "For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead." It is evident that the translators mistook the Apostle's meaning in this passage and make it teach a truth which is abundantly taught in the Scriptures, but only by inference in this passage. The reader is liable to conclude that the passage teaches that since Christ ??11 4-knn **TAMA nil /IAO/I in ft?ftennouaD lieu 1UI mi, tiicii ncic an uct? 111 nv,o|/?ooco find sin. This is most certainly a Bible-taught Joctrine, but it is not taught in this passage. The Apostle did not say "then were all dead,1' but "then all died." The simple meaning of the Apostle is, that when Christ died for all, tie died as their representative, and on account >f th(t>Tnion which existed betweeiThiHl and ;'all^lhH?dr-IfThis be not clear, the plain EQ@aningof the passage may be thus stated. Christ died as a surety for his people, that is, in their room, and in their stead, and in law his death is regarded as their death. Actually, they did not die, but since Christ stood as their legal representative, his death is, in law, regarded as their death. The people of God live in Christ by a living faith. All Christians are believers in Christ, ;hat is, they have faith in him. This is the ink which unites the soul to Christ Jesus. The simplest definition which can be given if faith is, "reliance on testimony." Faith in Jesus Christ is Scripturally defined to lie "a saving grace, whereby we receive and rest upon lim alone for salvation as he is freely offered ;o us in the gospel." The gospel is the testimony which God gave of his Son, and faith is limply believing this record, or believing the jospel. Faith unites the soul to Jesus Christ, bejause the moment it is exercised all self-relimce is cast out and the believer depends upon Christ, and Christ alone for salvation. Be ievers are in Christ .Tesus, in that from him ihey derive all their spiritual life. It is no igure to say that believers live in Christ, rhey sustain to him the same relation that ;he branch sustains to the vine. Their life is lid in Christ. This union is most intimate? t is impossible to be more intimate. The fact that an individual is in Christ is cnown by the act ual change, which is wrought jpon him. Every one is able to discover the jhange which takes place. The individual limself is conscious of the change. He hates svhat he once loved, and he loves what he once lated. PRAYING FOR THE SICK. If, as some maintain, Mr. George Barnes toes too far in his literal interpretation of the Bible, may not the Church, the Orthodox Church, fail to go far enough, for want of 'aith in this matter of praying for the sick ? We certainly live, move and have our being n God. All our springs are in him. He is ,liy life, and the length of thy days, as we all tdmit. If we hold to the Bible, we must admit that lickness is caused by disobedience and neglect >f our duties. "For this cause," says Paul, 'many are sick and weak, and many are lead." Malaria did not have much to do vith that kind of sickness, and sanitary reguations would not have prevented it. Jesus said to the man, "Thou art made vnoie; sm no more lesi a worse ming come into thee." What are we to infer from Moses ? "If ;hou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of lie Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is 'iglit in his sight, and wilt give ear to his ;oinmandments, and keep all his statutes, 1 vill put none of these diseases upon you which [ have put upon the Egyptians, for I am the Lord that healeth thee." Ex. 15 : 2G. We have our doubts whether medicine would lave done any more good in such a case than n the case of good King Ilezekiah, whose ife the Lord, who not only forgives sin, but leals diseases (Ps. 103 : 3) in answer to prayer, idded some fifteen years. It is true the king died, but it is also true ;hat effectual, fervent prayer did much good. "But where God has appointed means, we ire not to look for miracles." True. But ire we to scout prayer for the sick under the ilea that medicine must be used V We are ill trained up to hold that prayer is one of the nightiest of instrumentalities. Christ used means, he anointed blind eyes with clay, the best thing to put out an eye, ir prevent vision, as if to teach that the 'fficacy was in him, not in the medicine. Ine of the signs of believers was "they shall ay their hands on the sick, and they shall ecover." If this part of Mark is not genuine, vhat shall we do with James. "Is any sick imong you ? Let me call for the elders of the :hurch and let them pray over him," etc., 'and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, md the Lord shall raise him up." May not want of faith hold back many prayirs ? for it is written, "He that believeth on ne, the works that I do shall he do, and greatr works shall he do, because I go unto the ?ather." Because all applicants are not helped, ire we, therefore, not to pray for the sick ? >aul himself was refused. See 2Cor. 12:7-11. juts flf the fpegigitetiw. OP ELECTIONS.
