RELIGION, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY. Kev. C. C. BROWN, Editor. BABY. Where did you come from, baby dear ? Out of the everywhere into here. What makes the light in them sparkle and spin? Some of the starrry spikes left in. Where did you get that little tear? I found it waiting when I got here What makes y#ur forehead so smooth and high? A soft hand stroked it as I went by. What makes your cheek like a warm white ? rose? I saw something better than any one knows. Whence that three-cornered smile of bliss ? Three angels gave me at once a kiss. Where did you get this pearly ear? God spoke, and it came out to hear. Where did you get those arms and hands. Love made itself into bonds and bandst Feet, whence did you come, you darling | things ? From thc same box as the cherub's wings. j How did they all just come to be you ? God thought about me and so I grew. But how did you come to us, you dear ? God thought about you, and so I am here. - George McDonald. The Vision of Christ. Dacneekcr, the German sculptor, oc? cupied eight years upon a marble statue of Christ. He had previously exercised his genius upon subjects taken from the Greek and Roman mythology, and bad won a great reputation. The celebrat? ed statue of Ariadne in the garden of Herr Beth man at Frankfort is his work Critics of art have given him rank with Michael Angelo and Canova. When he had tabored two years upon his statue of Christ, the work was ap? parently finished. He called into his studio a little girl, and, directing her j attention to the statue, asked her, 'Who is that?" She replied. *A great man*' The artist turned away disheart? ened. His artistic eye had been de? ceived. He had failed, and his two years of labor were thrown away. But he began anew, and after another year or two had passed he again invited the ehild into the studio, and repeated the inquiry, 'Who is that V This time he was not disappointed. After looking ?D silence for a while, her curiosity deepened into awe and thankfulness, and, bursting into to tears, she said, in low and gentle tones, 'Suffer little chil- i dren to come unto tue.' It was enough ; the untutored instinct of the child had divined, his meaning and he knew that his work was a success He believed then and erer afterward, that he had been inspired of God to do that that ^thing. He thought he had 3een a vision of Christ ia his solitary vigils. He had but transferred to the marble the image which the Lord had shown to him. His rising fame attract? ed the attention of Napoleon, and he was requested to make a statue of ] Venus similar to the Ariadne, for the j gallery of the Louvre. He refused, saying, 'A man who has seen Christ would commit sacrilege if he should | employ his art io the carving of a pagan ? goddess. My art is henceforth a coose- ? crated thing. Is there not an experience of com? munion with God in Christ, not un- j common to mature believers, which is j equivalent to a vision of the Lord, and ; which renders life aud life's work, even j its humblest occupations sacred ? Italian and Spanish art contains many works in painting and sculpture on ?subjects de? rived from scriptural biography and his? tory, to which their authors have given ? years of toil, and on which they labored j in a state of religious fervor. Some of! them believed that their artistic vision I was illuminated by the Holy Ghost. ? The privilege of every Christian life is ? not less exalted. The Scriptures seem | to assure us of this. 'Our fellowship is j with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.' 'Your life is hid with Christ in God.' 'He that dwelleth in j love, dwelleth in God and God in him.' j Such words, if they mean anything, j mean something unutterably great. It i is no prerogative of an elect few The ! lowliest not less than thc loftiest, life j may have this element of an iufinite j dignity. A profoundly prayerful life is I by that single feature of it lifted into ? sympathy with God. A mean thing | cannot be made noble by it, but a small j thing can be made great The work oft a laundress or a bricklayer may attract j the respect of angels. Hugh Miller, when working at hts trade as a stonemason, used to say that bis was a grand calling, because the! routine of it gave to a first-class work- ? man so much time and mental force for j silent communion with God. It was in j such communion that he laid the foun- j dation of that dignity of character j which afterward made him the compan- ? ion of philsophers and the instructor of ? princes. It matters little what may be j a man's employment in. life. The | whole life is ennobled and adorned by j it, if it is done as in a vision of Christ, j 'In His N ame* was thc watchword of the Waldenses, and their form of salu- ! talion, when they met and when they ! parted. It expressed their supreme j idea of life, and of all that made it! worth living. They ?aid It at their I weddings, and repeated it at their func- j rals. It was their formula in baptism, and at the Lord's Supper ; and it lifted ! to the same altituude of dignity their ? work in their fields and vineyards, t When have wise men ever discovered ! a theory of life more magnificent andi inspiring ? No being in the universe j has a more exalted occasion for self-1 respect than one who lives in a vision j of Christ. The apostle could find no more honorable words in which to depict the life of Moses than to say of it. 'He endured, as seeing Him who is in? visible'-Austin Phelps, JJ. JJ. in S. S. Times. The day of tho Christian's death is better than thc day of his birth, lt is the day when as a weary traveler, he arrives at horne, when, as a sea- j tossed mariner, he enters his desired i haven ; when, as a long enduring pa? tient, he throws oil* the last feelings j of his lingering complaint ; when, as! an heir of immortality, he comes of j age and obtains the inheritance of! the saints in light. Thus, whatever may be the manner of his death, for him to die is gain. Bo not allow yourself to lose temper j or speak excitedly. ? A very Simple Anaesthetic. Dr. M. T. Yates, tu a letter pub? lished in the Biblical Recorder, says of the surgical operations to which he has recently submitted : My doctors said that they had seen it stated by an American doCLor, that if a person would breathe as rapidly as possible, under an operation, he would not feel the pain of cutting, ! and they wished to try it on me, to ! which proposition I assented. Dr. j Macleod superintended the breathing f - which was like that of a dog on a ! hot summer day-holding, out of my sight, a hannkerchief in his baud to be dropped as a signal-when he saw the color come in my face-for Hen? derson, the op?raiing doctor to go ahead. When Macleod told rae, "That will do/' I was surprised to find that the operation had been per? formed. This 1 have tried three times, and have not, at either time, ! felt more pain than ?6 usually inflict? ed in the case of vaccination. I heard the knife rip through the flesh, like the sound produced in cutting leather, but I did not feel the pain. What is the philosophy of this kind of an anaesthetic ? Is is simply a di? version of the mind ? We presume the rapid breathing acts very much like the inhalation of laughing gas ; that it oxydizes the blood more highly and makes the heart beat faster, as shown by the color in the face, and this exhilaration produces insensibility to physical pain. A man slightly wounded in battle often does not know it at the j time, partly, perhaps, because of men I tal preoccupation, but mainly, we j suppose, because he is toned up by I the excitements of the conflitc. But whatever may be the explanation, Dr. Yates' experience is an instruc? tive instance of the connection and interaction ol bodily estate and men? tal sensibility. The great Physician has occasion right often to use the knife on those who are at last to be presented with? out a blemish. The pain they suffer does not help, it rather hinders, a speedy cure. They can find a sure relief in rapid and depp inhalations of the "Christian's vital breath/*' In all the ills and pains of a spiritual life, vexed by sin, there is no anaesthetic so simple or so effectual as fervent prayer. Christianity not a failure. Christianity a failure ! Then man is a failure. Then the race is a failure. Then the Government of God is a fail? ure. The mau whose face is seamed and ridsred ail over with thc fruits of vice says virtue is a failure. The bloated, besotted, drivelling inebriate says tem? perance is a failure. The highwayman and the murderer say the law is a fail? ure. The reckless violators of the laws of health say the science of medicine is a failure. Pope Pius IX, said the civilization of the nineteenth -century is a failure. Thc owl says light is a failure. Is it any wonder that men may be heard to sa}' that Christianity is a failure ? It's an old cry; every single century since Christ it.has been sounded out. But somehow this thing we call Christianity does not fail. And the charge of Chris? tianity's failure never seemed quite so absurb as in the high noon of this nine? teenth century. He only can make the charge who shuts his eyes tu some tre? mendous facts, and who is smitten with the notion that his own little world of doubt and cavil is the whole wide world of thought and feeling of to-day.-Her rich Johnson, D. D. Vituperation. Vituperation does no good. It often defeats a good cause, because it produces disgust or anger or mental impatience in the hearer, either of which is fatal to j any effort at calm thought and rational decision. But vituperation is nowhere more offensive or injurious than wheo uttered in the colums of a religious pa? per. In this respect it is obvious that there has been a great improvement in recent years; and now it is a rare thing when we mret with this offensive prac? tice. There has been a marked change in the secular newspaper, also, in this regard. But still there is room for fur? ther improvement. The most influen? tial and best edited secular papers do not deal in vituperation or invective, and do not indulge in the vulgar habit j of aspersing the motives or misrepre- j senting the acts of an opponent. The psalms have much of their pow? er io that they are the utterances of j real life in its changes. The men be- j lieved, knew, felt; therefore they! wrote. We see the hand of God and the heart of man. Such men have never ceased to be. Names change, life keeps its course. The thoughtful j man, whose years are many, can sing [ the psalter and set his own name for j the pronouns. It has been called the j "sacred book of the world." How old it is, and yet ever young. The chur? ches have worshipped Jin its inspiring strains, rising in its exultation, bowing in ifs confession and lament. The peo? ple have snug its melodies-merchants, sailors, ploughmen : sages, soldiers, priests: mothers with their children, j kings with their people. Cromwell j lcd his men to victory at Dunbar with I the sixty-eighth Psalm ; Luther; strengthened his heart with the vigor j of the Psalms. Wallace had his psal- I ter hung before him at his execution, j and died with his eyes fixed upon it. ; Polycarp, Hildebrand, H uss. Columbus, ! Xavier, Melancthon, Jewel!, gave their j last breath to ti e words of a psalm. ; One psalm alone has engraved itself on ! the hearts of men. The penitence of j the contrite soul has loved to breath out ? miserere. Thomas Arnold had the ! fifty-first plasm read to ,bim when he | laying dying, and John Hogers recited j it as he went to thc stake. Jeremy i Taylor transformed it into a prayer. ? Lady Jane Grey repeated its cry for i mercy as she ascended to the scaffold, j aud Sir Thomas Moore, as he laid his i head upou the block. Augustine had ; written on the wall opposite thc bed ; where he lay sick, "The sacrifices of j God arc a broken spirit," and Bernard j died with this verse on his lips. Wo j draw these instances from other days, j They might be found nearer to our j time and in our time. The Hebrew i parchment lives in the reverent sen- \ tence which looks down from thc Boyal j Exchange in London, down on the busy streets and the hurrying throng of men claiming ownership and holding j in brief possession in this world : "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof."-Dr. McKenzie. \ j IM ?>eeisicn. There was a poor girl who had long been a Christian, but she was very sad at heart through sickness; and when her minister came to see her, he said: 'Well, Susan, how is your hope ?' She said : 'Sir, I am afraid I am not a Christian. I do not love the Lord Jesus Christ.' He said : 'Why, I al I ways thought you did.' 'No.' said she, *I am afraid I have deceived myself, and that I do not love him.' The min? ister wisely walked to the window and wrote on a piece of paper, 'I do not love the Lord Jesus Christ.' and he said: 'Susan, here is a pencil: just sign that.' 'No, sir,' she said, 'I could not sign that.' 'Why not?' 'I would be torn to peices before I would sign it, if it is true V 'Ah, sir," said she. "I hope it is not true ; I think I do love him.' Sit down deliberately and say, ?Yes. my Lord, in the merits of :by death I put my trust ;" or else write it, \ if you mean it, 'He is not mine at all.' I We have known some to got comfort ! out of this act of decision. The Baptist ministers of Virginia are opposing the passage of a bill for the relief of men who have fought duels, the present law disqualifying them from holding office ; but there is one of the clergymen who does not favor the move? ment. "Duels are usually bloodless, inconsequential affairs/' he said, ''and the field of honor is one whereon a couple of loud-braying donkeys meet and shake their large ears at one j another, and retire without the slightest evidences upon their persons of having passed through any physical conflict. A trifling weariness of their overexer? cised ears and hoarseness of their j strained voices are the only indications I of their having met and adjusted their ! differences in mortal combat. When ' it takes notice of such affairs, the law I but dignifies them." - MB -? i rn* - I can not look into the New Testa? ment without being brought to the conclusion that I am not permitted, ; under any existing or conceivable j circumstances, to engage in war with my fellow men. The whole gospel. is anti-war.- Geo. Thompson. Ths failure of the mind in old age is often less the result of natural decay than of disuse. Ambition has ceased to operate : contentment brings indo? lence, indolence, decay of mental pow? er, ennui, and sometimes death. Men have been known to die, literally speaking of disease induced by intel? lectual vacancy. TRUTH ATTESTED. Some Important Statements of Well-Kn?wn People Wholly Verified.
