RELIGION, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY. Rev. C. C. BROWN, Editor. HE IxEABETH ME. In pastures green ? Not always; sometimes .He Who kcowest best ia kindness leadetb me In weary ways, where beary shadows be. .. Ont of the sunshine, warm, and soft, and bright, .'. Ont of the sunshine into tfie darkest night, -v l oft would faint with sorrow and affright. Only for this-I ktow he hold3 my hand, Ev : - -Sot. whether in ?reen or desert land, . " I trust, although I may not understand. And bj still waters? No, not always . so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And" o'er mj soul the waves and billows . fio. Bot where the storms beat loudest, and I Aloud for help, the Master standetb by, And whispers to my soul, . 'Lo, it is I.' ' Above the tempest wild! hear Him say, ?'Beyond tltis darkness lies the perfect day, In.evtrjpath-ofthinel lead the way." So, whether on the hilltops high and fair I dwell, or is the sunless valleys where The shadows lie-what matter? He is there. And more than this; where'er the pathway 3ead; Hegives to me no helpless; broken reed, But his own hand, sufficient for my need. So whore He leads me-1 caa safely go ; - And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why in dis wisdom He hath led me so. -Selected. SINAI. - > _ Last spring Kev. Dr. H. M. Field wrote some very iateresting letters home to bis paper, the New York" ^Evangelist. We copy the following ; from Moast Sinai : , I have jost learned that a party who nave completed their visit to Sinai pro? pose, to start to-morrow morning on their return to Suei. and I take advan? tage of the opportunity to send yon a . few words, lt is^tw?lve days since we left Cairo, and I nave never had ; more interest crowded into any equal portion of my life, lt is impossinle to convey to you any impression of it, at least by a brief and "hurried description. The notes which I have taken by the way have been very foil, and * will -fur? nish abundant materials for whatever I may write hereafter, feat they must be worked ?wt with the utmost care. One or two things only would t say heired First of al dismiss from your mind forever the idea taut toe Wilderness of Sinai ia a mere desert, as we com mon _^__Jy- understand tie-word-that is, a boundless plain of sand. In my ear? lier days.,; "before I had read,, much on ?fae subject, I had a vague idea that Jtfount Sinai was a solitary peak, stand -ing-a?one, the one grand object on a fconndless horizon, and that the desert rented up to its very base. Now de? berte enough there ?ce tn this sense, as > Ibie found by sore experience as. I foavetnoved slowly across their long an* burning wastes But the Wilder-^ ness of "Sinai is a wildernsss of moun? tains--and of mountains of the most .grand-and awful character. I think a geologist would pronounce this Penin? sula ?ne of the most remarkable forma? tions -co the globe.. It seems as if its in numerable granite peaks must have been thrown up out of a lake of fire, as waves are thrown ap by the sea; that in a ' remote .geological period, when the body of ?ar planet was a molten mass, ?od material forces were acting with an intensity and violen ce of which we have ~ ue conception, in some tremendous con? vulsion the naming crests were tossed against the sky and then soddenly ar? rested by the Creator's hand, which held them fixed in their utmost wildness, w so to remaio forever. Hence the in? finite variety of mountain forms. There is not one long chain, like the Pyrenees or the Appennines, of a gene? ral average height and form, but in y----numerable peaks sharp and pointed, as if piercing the sky. while other sum mits arc broad and dome-like, as if the ^wry fceaveas might rest, on-the support of such'everlasting hills.' And these mouutvrteare unlike those of other . conn tries i rfc being more barren and des? olate I h**e seen mountains in all parts of.the w^rld, and have found in almost every_c?se that they had some feature of beauly mingled with their ruggedness, which took away somewhat' of ibeir deso?ate t character. However lofty ttfeir^el?v?tioW, their ascent was gradual, extending wver many miles, whereby they sloped fara gently to the valleys, below and theuj lower sides were clothed with vegetation, which re lieved-their sterner aspect) and softened their rugged grandeur. jNot so here. The Mountains of Sinai ruse up abrupt? ly from the plain, look?g more like columns than pyramids ;i and as their substance is the hardest * gran i te, which affords little support t? vegetation, they have an aspect of savage desolation j. which I do Dot remember to have seen ; ia the Alps or Himalayas. s To complete the facture, one more feature is wanting. - {Between these awful mountains, and wending around among them in countless turnings, are river < beds, through/which tn the time of j rains7 and stcjfrms there pour furious j mountian torrents which as swiftly j pass away/fo the sea, leaving behind them onXyjthe traces of the ruin they ? have nnade. These are the Wayds, of j wp feb. so much is said in every account i yoi this remarkable region. Looking j1 * s dows (rom any of tue loftier elevations j (as I did on Mooday last from the top j of Serbal, or yesterday from the top of j Jebel Musa-the Mountain of Moses- j and of that other peak which Pr. Robi- j sou thinks to be the one from which j God gave the law, one sees at a glance ' the configuration of the country, ! There, spread out as on a map, lies the ] whole Sinaitic Peninsula. Bounding j it on the east and west are the two j arms of the Red Sea-the Gulf of Suez j and the Gulf of Aka ba. Beyond the j . latter stretches the long cbain of moun tains of Arabia. Between them lies ; that Peninsula which has been the j scene of the most wonderful events in j human history as the chosen spot where j God bad direct intercourse witb men. i Here, in these very Wadys through j which we have been riding on our earn els tb ese many days past, journeyed ^^the children of Israel for forty years. Ifcrnoog the Arabs the mountains still bear the name of the Moon tai cs of the Wandering. At this very moment I am writing in the Convent of St. Cath? arine, at the foot of the mountain which was once covered with cloud, out of which issued thunderings and lightings and the voice of God. These are the things which fill the mind of a Christian traveller who comes to Sinai, and which he wishes to study with care, and to write of with delibe? ration. To write of such sacred themes with haste would subject him to the charge of flippancy. From Suez to Sinai oo e is con tautly on the track of the Israelites, from the point at which they crossed the Bed Sea, to their sev? eral encampments on the shore where Miram saug her song of triumph ; to the bitter water waters of Marah, and the Palms of Elim ; and to the Oasis of Feerao, to gain possession of which the Israelites fought with the Amalekites, and on a hill above which tradition still points out as the spot where Moses prayed, and Aaron and Kur held up bis hands till the going down of the sun. All this Old Testament history becomes far more real to me than ever before since I have passed over this sacred ground ; and if I can in future letters oonvey to others the impressions I have received, and thereby increase their knowledge and their, enjoyment of the Word of God, I shall not have undertaken this journey in vain. mm? i < i' ' - Statistics of Dram Drinking. The Christian Iudex not long since compiled a table showing the ratio of drinking saloons to' population in the various States. What sources of infor? mation were relied upon in preparing it does not appear, but it is sufficiently striking-not to say surprising-in its results to be given in full. The num? ber of population to each bar room is as foliows in each State : Alabama 608 Mississippi 654 Arkansas 554 Missouri 337 California 99 Nebraska 487 Colorado 76 N. Hampshire 376 Connecticut. 235 N.Jersey ~ 179 Delaware 252 Nevada 65 Florida . 653 New York 192 Georgi* 612 N. .Carolina 708 Illinois 267 Ohio 225 Indiana 380 Oregon 170 Iowa 377 Pennsylvania 263 Kansas 897 Kb. Island 596 Kentucky 438 S. Carolina 900 Louisiana 200 Tennessee 522 Maine 791 Texas 549 Maryland 293 Vermont 812 Massachusetts 245. Virginia 694 Michigan 350 W. Virginia 817 Minnesota 311 Wisconsin 304 From the temperance standpoint, the State which ranks highest is the much maligned South Carolina, while Nevada lakes the lowest place. Of the older States, Ohio, Connecticut, New York, Sew Jersey, Louisiana and Massachu? setts have the largest quotas of 'rum ixoles' in proportion to population. Maryland can not boast of her want of kinking facilities. It ia a little sur? prising to find Maine in the list at all? ind more surprising to find it credited ffitb more bar rooms, relative to popu ation, than either West Virginia or South Carolina, where there is no pro* ?ibition of liquor selling. The facts presented in the table are susceptible, io we ver, of various interpretations. It Brill be observed that the dram drink? ing States arc those that are wealthiest. This coincidence is significant.-Balti? more Sun. ? -- i i > -i A Sore Test. Tell me what the Bible is to a man md I will generally tell you what he is. This is tho pulse to try, this is the barometer to look at, if we would know the state of the heart. I have [io notion of the Spirit dwelling in a nan, and not giving clear evidence of bis presence. And I believe it to be % signal evidence of the Spirit's pre-' sence, when the word is really precious :o a man's soul. When there is no appetite for the truths of Scripture the soul cannot be in a state of health. There is some serious disease. Read? er, what is the Bible to you ? Is it your guide, your counsellor, your friend ? It is your rule of faith and practice t Is it your measure of truth aud error, of right and wrong ? It ought to be so. It was given for this purpose. If it is not, do you really love your Bible ? Bishop Ryle. mum i i - Brethren, believe in the power of tb* Cross for the conversion of those around you. Do not say of any man that be cannot be saved. The blood of Jesus is omnipotent. Do not say of any dis? trict that it is too sunken, or of any class of men that'they'are too far gone. The work of the Cross reclaims the lost. Believe it to be the power of God, and you shall find it so. Believe in Christ crucified and preach bodly in His name, and you shall see great things and gladsome things. Let no man's heart fail him. Christ hath died ! Atone? ment is complete! God is satisfied! Peace is proclaimed ! Heaven glitters with proofs of mercy, already bestowed upon ten thousand times ten thousand ! Hell is trembling, Heaven ador?Dg, Earth watiog. Advance,.ye saints, to certain victory ! You shall overcome through thc blood of the Lamb.-Spur? geon. Bishop Pierce, of the Methodist Church, preached upon the subject of 'Sanctification* at a Culverton camp ground in Hancock county last week. He took strong grounds against the doctrine as it ts being taught by its pro? fessors, and bis sermon is said to have been able and convincing. A distin? guished Georgia divine recently said to us, speaking upon this Bubjeet : 'Every sermon, as far as I know, that bas been preached to correct this error has been signally honored of God.' It appears that the most eminent divines of the Methodist Church condemn the doc? trine.-Eatonton Messenger. There are twenty Baptist theological seminaries, with ?630,000 property and ?1,000,000 endowment; eleven Congre? gational, with ?1,438,000 property and ?1.669,000 endowment ; fourteen Meth? odist Episcopal, with ?620,000 property and ?500,000 endowment, and thirteen Presbyterian, with ?1,489,000 property and ?2,842,000 endowment. - i-? -4?BMm Be not disheartened as if comfort would not come at all, because it comes not all at once; but patiently attend God's leisure; they are not styled the swift, but 'the sure mercies of David.' Be assured wheo grace patieotly leads the front, priory at last will be in the rear.-Fuller. Fasiiog without alms-giving is a lamp without oil.-St. Augustine. Like Him. Beholding Christ, we are brought into spiritual resemblance to him. No truth has been more fully attested ; no privilege is more inspiring to faith. Here is the divine law of spiritual growth. Even in oar human relations this law of transformation is apparent. How unconsciously we receive the im? press of our faithful friends in this very way. Beholding them with admiration and love, we are 'changed into the same image' according to our human measure. Imagine now the veil that prevents a perfect sight of Christ rent in death ; that we are now with our Lord, and, ia closest intimacy of fellowship, are now gazing upon Him 'face to face.' Knowing Him even with that exactness with which we are known communing with Him without the possibility of the slightest interruption of that inter? course what of necessity follows ? Like? ness ! perfect likeness ! Absolute con? formity to Him who is the image of the invisible God ! The law of spiritual development, partially applied in this life, requires this. In heaven fulness of sight will result in ono thing completeness of transformation. 'We sball be liko Him, for we shall see Him as he is.' It is sometimes given to souls to long for a release from earthly limitations, and enter upon that life of 'open vision.' Nor is this always a sign of unwilling? ness to endure pain, pbysicialand men? tal, according to the Father's will. Rather, it is the proof of ripeness of aoly character. Parity is to the soul ;o ineffably lovely, that it would soar iway on swiftest wing to be with Christ. - . < ? V mm A woman was lately indicted in Eog and for causing the death of her child )y denying it adequate nourishment, investigation showed, however, that the Bother had fed the child regularly on ?orn starch, mixed with a little milk, gnorant of the fact that starch is unable o supply the necessary nutriment to poung children. Under these-circum? stances tho woman was of course ac? quitted. .It is a lesson which mothers ind. nurses would do well to remember. l??v? by "the day; you will have lally trials, and strength according. Ijeave- to-morrow to the Lord. . Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origin is within ; its manifestations without. Hence, to cure the the disease the cause must be re? moved, ft od in no other way eau a cure ever be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established on just this principle. It realizes that 95 Per Cent. sf all diseases arise from deranged kidneys ino* liver, and it strikes at once at the root of the difficulty. The elements of which it is jomposed act directly upon these great organs, both as a food and restorer, and, hy placing them in a healthy condition, drive disease ind pain from the system. For the innumerable troubles cau#ed by un? healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; for the distiessiug Disorders of Women ; for Malaria, and for physical derangements gen srally, thia great remedy has no equal. Be cvare of imposters, imitations and concoctions said to be just as good. For Diabetes, ask for WARNER'S SAFE DIABETES CURE. For sale by all dealers. " H. H. WARNER k CO., Rochester, N. Y.
