THE HOME LIGHT.
The tight of home’s a'woDdrous light.
So tender is its shining,
So soft it follows'through the night,
Our we&ry.ro&d outlining.
Though lonely and for years we roam,
Far from'the ones who love ue,
Yet ever>hines the light [of hoim - ,
Like God’e'grace spread above us.
The light of home’s a wondrous light,
Through life it follows, seeming,
Yet when with [age the hair ,1s white,
Clear.in.the frontu’tis gleaming
It shines from where our, loved ones
are,
0, this is love divining!
Anditbrough the gates of heaven ajar.
At last we see it shining!
DRY DOCTRINES.
The principal object of preach
ing is to present the doctrines of
the Bible. Two or three doc
trines of the New Testament be
lieved would revolutionize all
China. The* gospel never did
nor never can spread.but by
preaching Jts...doctrines. The
great work.of the whole Chris
tian church in all lands is to
make known the glad tidings of
great joy. The efficiency of any
church or preacher depends
principally on, the perspicuity
with which the doctrines are set
forth. Church history is not
wanting to show this. A plain
case is now well known. The
Salvation] Army, without col
leges and other great; adjuncts,
surpasses all other churches in
making known the glorious car
dinal doctrines, and insisting on
them, leaving ethics to follow,
as they surely do.
It.has been said that doctrinal
preaching is dry. No doubt to
some it is. It was a stumbling-
block to the Jews, and. to the
Greek foolishness; but to those
that believe, “the.'power of God
and the wisdom;;of God.” The
fact is, instead of being dry,
nothing is so interesting, not.to
say exciting, as the finding of
our great salvation.—J. H.
Creighton, in Advocate.
Mr. Hole's Advice on Marriage
A young man recently wrote
to the editor of The Ladies Home
Journal asking: “What have
you to say, squarely and fairly,
to a young man of twenty-nine
who is about to marry.” In the
October Journal Mr. Bok uses a
a page for his answer. Its sal
ient points are these: That a
man should make the woman of
his choice his chum, as well as
his wife: that he should show
her the highest consideration as
well as love her; that he should
remember that he owes his
wife to her mother, and treat his
mother-in-law with respect, at
least; that he should keep his
wife informed as to his income;
that he should give her a regular
allowance and that he should
have his life insured in her favor.
And, above all, that when a
young man marries he must re
member that he leaves the world
of another and self.
‘ GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT
IS GREAT GAIN."
“It ain’t so hard to be con
tented with the things we have,”
said the old woman, dolefully.
“It’s being contented with the
things we haven’t that’s so try
ing.”
“I don’t know about that; I
don’t know,” said Uncle Silas.
