Good and E vil.W hen m an from Perm)Ise wofl driven,And thorns around Ills pathw ay sprung,Rwcct Mercy w andering there from heaven Upon thoso thorns bright roses filing.

Aye, nnd as Justice cursed th e g round,Bho stole behind, unheard, unseen—And while the curses fell a round, 'She scattered seeds of joy between. '

And thus, as evils sprung to light, .And spread, like weeds, their poisons wldo, Fresh healing plants came bloom ing bright,And Btood, to check them , side by s id e ..

And now, though Bdeu bloomH afar,And m an is exiled from its bowers, 'Still mercy steals through bolt and bar, ’•And brings away Its choicest Jlowcre,

The very toil, the thorns of caro,That Heaven In w rath for sin Imposes,. . .By mercy changed, no curses aro— ■Ono brings us rest, the other roses. s .

Thus Joy’ is linked w ith every wee—Each c u p o flll Its pleasure brings; *The rose is crushed, b u t then, you know,Tho sweeter fragrance from It springs.

Ifjusticc throw athw art our way,A deepening eve of fear and sorrow,Hope, like tho m oon, reflects the ray Of the bright sun that shines to-morrow.

And mercy gilds with stars tbe n igh t t Sweet music plays through wcoplng w illow s; Tho blackest cayc with gems is bright, *

. And peris Illume tho ocean blilows.

The very gravo, though clouds m ay rise,And shroud It o 'er w ith m idn igh t gloom;Unfold to faith tho deep blue skies,That glorious sh ine beyond tho tomb.

Folpit by tha Sea," t h y k in g d o m c o m e .”

BY MRS. C. M. I'EET.

The ancient Jews scrupled not to say, “ l i e prays not at all in whoso prayers there is no mention of the kingdom of God," hence they wore accustomed to say, V Let Him cause H is kingdom to reign, and. His redemption to flourish, and lot tho Messiah speedily come to deliver his people.”

God has promised that He will establish a kingdom’ upon earth, diverse from alt other kingdoms; and that the Messiah of the Jews will be tho king. This no one can doubt who examines the Scriptures, and yet what a mystify-

.iog there is among Christians respecting uihai that kingdom will be. It is singular what strange answers will he given by 'different persons respecting the king, dom o f God. When asked, ono will answor, “ It. is the time when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and a little child will lead t h e m a n other will say, “ It is the time when tiro knowiedgo of the Lord shall cover tlie land as the waters cover tire Bca;’’ and again another, perhaps a Friend, will reply, “ It is the time to come in which there will be no inoro witr, but universal peace throughout the entire globe.” No doubt al! these things will he verified in the kingdom, but these will not. constitute the kingdom. Whitt them is the: kingdom o f heaven to bo ? This is o f importance for us to know, that we may be able to pray with the understanding as well os the spirit, which we aro commanded to do In order that wo may liavo clearer views on the subject lot us consult Holy Writ, and turn to the second chapter of Daniel, and from the 31st to the 35th verses. Wo see there portrayed an image of a man, the head gold, tho breast and-arms silver, the belly and thighs brass, tho legs iron, and the feet pnrt iron and part elay. And while this image stands in all its mystic glory on the plains of Babylon a stone is out out without bauds which smoto the imago ou tlie feet and broke them to pieces, then tlie whoie image becamo destroyed—-the gold, the silver, the brass, tho iron and clay became liko chair, and tlio wind carried them away and no place was found for thorn; “ nnd tlio stone that smote the imago becamo a great mouh tain and filled the whole earth.”

All commentators agree tnat this image was a type of five groat monarchies, which Bhoulei in rotation liavo dominion over tlio whote earth. The Babylonish kingdom was the first which had tho sway over tlie earth (as much of it as was then known), it w s h the richest and most .magnificent of tho kingdom, and is aptly represented by the head of gold. „ The second—silver- was tho Persian, which although rich

nnd luxurious, foil farshortof the Babylonish in grandeur. Tho third—the brass—tho Grecian—-which from its literature dazzled the world while it had dominion. Tho fourth, the Roman— from its unyielding and severe laws and its strength and -power is fitly, represented by iron. The feet, part iron and part clay, slibw that is would be weakened before -its final overthrow. The stone out.without hands represents the Saviour's -first advent, which was obscure and humble, and that it became a mountain and filled the whole enftli, shows I the universal -triumph of his kingdom at his- second coming, whon He shall reign King of kings and Lord of lords.

Now as all tho four' kingdoms were tangible kingdoms, which all people knew1 and acknowledged as kingdoms, aiid all then living bowed to the sceptre of the king inpower) so we aro taught by Scripture to belicvo that the kingdom of tlie Messiah will be not only universal but tangible—something real and somewhere, nnd not left to the imagination of man to guess either its placo or its character.' Where is this kingdom to be established, and where will be its throno? Jerusalem is to be the city of the great King, and H e (to fulfil Scripturo) must yet sit on tho throno of his father David, and reign ns King of the Jaws, and Jerusalem be the praise of the whole earth I

When will the.Messiah come? Wo will first ask what keeps a king from his throne when his subjects are 111 rebellion against him ? Tlio wilt of his subjects—they milt not have him.to rule over them, hut when their wilt submits to his government and they unite with him again to take tlie throno, lie cheerfully returns and becomes their king, just as sdort; as tlie veil is taken from the heart of tho jewish-nation.aiid they see anti acknowledge Jesus of Nazareth to be their King, he will return to take tiis seat upon tlie throne of David.

The.Jews which are now a “ peeled and scattered” nation, will uo restored by God's providence to their own land, and there, after centuries of severe discipline, and sorrow, and prayer, to the Messiah for deliverance, they will believe anil yield tiicir hearts • to their lawful King,

la it too much to ask that the praying people of God at the Grove would appropriate one day to pray fur this—0, pray earnestly that tlio Joivs may lie restored to their own land i To welcome their Messiah- at bin “ second advent," when the entire nation will (in our blessed Saviour’s prophetic words), exclaim with heartfelt adoration, "Blessed .is ho that comctli in the name'of-the Lord.” Then indeed shall Ho.who has been a tight to lighten tlie Gentiles he the glory of his Israel.• 0 , lot us pray earnestly for this glorious consummation, and that we'mny he found worthy, together with the “ natural branches,” to behold and aid in crowning the.oiice-despised and suffering Jesus of Nazareth, “ King of kings," whoso kingdom shall bo an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion to the ends o f the earth.

. Eternal life is said to consist in the knowledge of God, nnd of Jesus Christ whom H e has sent. To impart this knowledge is the work of" the Spirit, . Ho enables us to see tlio gtpry of God, as it shine!! in the .face of Jesus Christ. I t is this discovery which .produces holiness. By beholding His glory we are transformed into H is inmge, from glory to glory. When Christ was thus revealed to Paul He was instantly converted from a persecutor, into a worshiper of tbe Lord Jesus. And this is the history- of every conversion from that day to this, It matters not to the blind that the heayeiis arp flooded with glory, or. that the earth is chid with beauty ; and it matters not to tho spiritually blind that God lias clothed Himself in flesh and dwelt among us. But when tho spirit opens our eyes, then tho beatific vision breakB in upon the soul with all its transforming power ; then wc become hew creatures in Christ Jesus.

Right and Wrong.

If thO; content between right and wrong were always a contest between that which is evicteiiUy good, noble, and self-sacrificing, on the one side,' and tliat. vvhifih is matiifeatly. vile, degraded, aridaelfish oil the :other, the fight would still bo a hard oh6, but it would be a great-deal ensioF than it,.is now.: It is by ho meiihs trUe that"wickedness and orror;,always' hear unmistakable signs of hideous rejinisiveness. Sometimes they seem 'to be; the very;host impulses of the soul, and their .advocacy appears to be both"a-matter ot’ plains duty and of higher principle. ’ The devil, can use the loftiest; arguments us well ;as the basest;; iind with these' lie tempts b o u Ih on which meaner 'and m ore evidently hateful appeals ; would have no effect whatever. Tlie masquerading pf evil in tlio holiest places of the heart is ns old as Christianity, and Christ himsolf was confronted by those who rejected him on the ground of-what they supposed to be their loftiest principles. As Thomas Hughes has just said, in speaking of the condition of the Holy Lund at tho beginning of. tlie Saviour’s ministry: “ From the first, Christ had to contend not only against tlio whole of the •established powers of Palestine, but against the highest aspirations of tho best of his countrymen. These very messianic hopes, in fact, proved the greatest! stumbling-block in his path. Those who entertained them most vividly had the greatest difficulty in accepting the carpenter's eon as the promised deliverer.” Put his.unswerving fidelity and his unconquerable patience .were at length able 10 throw the light of lusting truth upon souls which fancied darkness to be light, until Christ revealed to them the gloom in'Hvhich they dwelt. The same qualities of Christ-Iiko faithfulness and patience -shall at length avail,, if we persevere in their oxercise, both to disclose and to; correct those faults and those sins which in pur ignorance, we hud supposed to be among the very heat elements in our moral nature. We have no'right despairingly to conclude that we cannot distinguish good from evil, merely because eyil some times seems to bo good. Cod' is ever willing to teach us what wo know, n o t ; and he can as readily make riisinifest and forgive our secret faults os thn.se of which we are well aware. S. S. Times. /

The Honest Match-Boy, ■

In the course of a sermon to children in Westminster . Abbey, Dean Stanley told tlie followin'' story "of an Edinburgh street arab : Not longago, in Edinburgh, two gontlomen wcro standing at the door of it hotel one very cold day; .when a little hoy with a thin.blue face, ids feet bare and red with tho cold, and with nothing to cover him hut a bundle of fags,canto and said: “Please sir, buy somo mutches.” “ No, don’t want liny," thggentleman said. “ But they are only a penny a box,” tho poor little fellow.pleaded. “ Yea, but you ace-we don’t want a box,” tlie gentleman said again. “ Then 1 will gie ye iwa boxes for.a penny,” the boy said at last, and.so, to get rid of him, tbe gentleman who tells the story says, “ I bought a box, but then I found I had no change. - So I said; M will buy' a' box to-morrow.’ ‘ Oil, do buy them to-night if you please,’ the boy pleaded again; ‘ I will run and get yd the change, for I am verra hungry.’ So I gave him the shilling, and he started away. I waited for him,.;and frio-hoy;came. Then T tiiought I had lost my) shilling;.still thoro was that in tho boy’s face I trusted; apd I did not like to think-bad of him. Late in tlie evening I wat told a boy wanted to see m e ; when lie was brought in I found it was a smaller brother of the hoy’that got myehilling; but il possible, siill more ragged, ami poor, and thin. 'He:stood a moment diving iiito his rsgs as if he was seeking something,mid then said, -‘ Are you the gentleman that bought the matohes frae Samlie ?’ Yes. ‘ Wisely. then, hero’s four peneo out o' yer shilling; Sundie cannot come ; lie’s lory i l l ; a oart ran

ovi’er him and knocked him down, nd he. Ibst his bonnet, and his matches, and your soven-pimco, and both his legs are broken, and the doctor Says he'll die,' and that's a’;’ And then, putting the four-pence on the table, the poor cfiild broke down into, great sobs. So I fed the little man, and I went with him to see Satidie. I found the two little things lived alone, their father and mother being dead. Poor Samlie was lyingori a bundle of shavings.' Ho knew me as soon as I got in ami sa id : * I got tlie change, sir, and was coming back, and then the horse knocked me down; and both my legs were broken; and oh, Reubyl little Itouby! [ am sure 1 am. dying, and who will take core of you when X. am gone V What wii! ye do; Reuby ?’ Then X took his hand and said I would hike care of Ileubv, Ho understood me, and had just strength to look up at me as if to thank, me ; and the light went out of his blue eyes."

Worth Repeating,

"Make butt few explanations; the character that # cannot defend itself is not worth vindicating. •. Tlio Scriplures impart to the soul a holy and marvelous delight. It in, indeed, the heavenly ambrosia.

The doctrines of the gospel are confessedly mysterious; only the humblo can understand and enjoy them.

Christ conquers all in us, H e-conquers all for us; Ho has done the work of salvation freely, fully and eternally.

Has it never occurred to us when surrounded by sorrows, that they may be sent to us only for our instruction—as we darken tbe cages of birds when we wish to teach them to sing ? •

The wish falls often warm upon my heart that I may learn nothing here that £ cannot continue-in the other world; that I may do nothing here but deeds that will bear fruit in heaven.

As in nature, as in art, so in grace it is rough treatment that gives souls, as well as stones, their lustre. . The more d diamond is cut, the brighter it sparkles; and, in 'what seems hard doaling, God has no end in view but to perfect his people.

A dull axe never loves grindstones, but n keen workman does; and he puts his tools on. them in order that they may be sharp. And men do not like grinding; but they are dull for purposes which God designs to work out with them, and therefore lie is grinding them.

0 thou heart-searching God, who kuqweet the hearts of each individual, search and try our hearts, discover to us what is the ground of our confidence preserve Us from building on a false foundation; and suit thy mercies to our sewral wants. •

God led tho Israelites to and fro, forward and backward, as in a maze or labyrinth.; and yet they "were all the while under the direption of the pillar of cloud. H e then led them about, and yet He led theni by a right way; Ilia way 'in bringing his people home is always the best, though it may not be the nearest.

It is not darknesa tho Christian got-B to at death, for God iH light. It is not lonely, for Christ is with him. It is riot ah unknown country, for Jesus is there ; and there the vast company of tlie just made perfect, .who shall be one. with Him in the fellowship and blessedness of.heaven forever.

Only by boing made spiritual is a man capneitatod for the apprehension of spiritual objccta, such us God and divine things; arid only ;by. the energy thus obtuiued is ho able critically to test, atid spiritually to govern! all the remaining portions of his being, as something interior and subservient to tho Spirit. • m ' •.'

Tho Nashville Advocate has a little bit of sage and kindly advice: “ A little sour* is he?—tho old preacher. He

has had hard trials that would have broken you down years ago. Sweeten his life by a littlo kindness to'him in his old age. He has a heart yet. Try it.”

” Some Great Thing,”

Many Christian people are ns willing to do “ Some great thing” ns wns Nan'-, man, when he' went awdyw enraged tit the thought'of curing his : ieprosy by washing in the river o f Jordan. They often imagine that their success depends largely upon great attempts, favorable opportunities, and widefiekls of labor.. Such should remember that a Idrge.

proportion of tho work ;of the Lord Jesus Christ appears to haye! been done in personal, private.; conversation. ’ It was hi a quiet evening talk with Nico deni us that the great/truth, of being born ;agairi, and ihe glad -tidings of God’s love to a lost world, were so clearly stated that age after- age.; has echoed with the wondrous words which Jesus spake.. It .was to one woman who approached hi in a s h o sat faint and weary.by Jacob’s well, that ho spoko of that well of water that apringeth up to overlasting life, and enunciated tho grand truth that not merely in Jerusalem- and Samaria, but in every place where there wore spiritual worshipers, there could be acceptable worship ofiered tojGod. That wonderful “sermon on tho rnount” wns not preached to tlie promiscuous throng; but “ seeing the multitudes he went up into a mountain, and when ho was set his disciples came unto him, , and ho opened his mouth and taught them.” vOur Lord's great prophecy of the. courao of this nge and its mighty consummation in his coming to judgment, was not delivered to a thousand gazing and wondering listeners, hut with only a few of his most intimate disciples ho “sat down upon the Mount of Olives” and answered their earnest question — “ When ahull these tilings be, and what shall ho the sign of thy coming,, and of the end of the age ?” His most Wonderful discourse, followed by the prayer which seemed Uie . beginning of tlie intercession which he still continues before the throne of the Majesty on high {John xiii—xvii),. was uttered, not in the corners of'the .streets, nor in tlie precincts of the temple, but in.tho upper chamber where, only his chosen disciples were assembled. More private still were his uttorances when walking on the way to Emmuus with only two disciples, “ Beginning at Mosestand all tlie prophets, he expounded unto them in the Scriptures, tho things concerning himself,” and kindled in their burning hearts n, ilame of faith and love which never could be extinguished. It was on tho shore of the' sea of Galileo, with, only lits disciples around, him, that pressed upon Peter that important question : “ Simon; son of Jonas, Invest thou mo ?” •. . . . ;

Thus our Saviour dealt with men personally, singly, individually,' or in little eompauies, whore ho could speak without reserve, and answer. every question that might bo; raised ; . ami those words that were spoken in secret have been .proclaimed on tho housetop; words which he wispered in iho ear, have been told through all the land and all tho ages. •

Perhaps whilo wo aro thinking of doing “ some great thing” wo are neglecting many little things. We are not without opportunities, if we are contented to labor in a narrow and lowly sphere; and a word 111 season, spoken to a few weary souls, which proves elfcctnul to their salvation, is better than any conceivable amount o f elegant talk poured upon ears of listening thousands, who hear, and depart, and forgot it all. Let us each in our littlo sphere do our little work ; lot us strivo to bring , nioii and women to pn.ionvl consideration of the thinys o f God; let us press upon their minds, kindly and earnestly, tlie thoughts of human need and human responsibility, and point out to them Christ as the Saviour of tho lost, the helper o f ‘tho weak, tho Redeemer arid deliverer of all who trust in him. Nothing is little which glorifies tlie groat God.—The Christian. .

■ Life's Burdens. '; — I

“ Cast tin/ harden upon the. Lord, and he shall s\itntmn then ” Psalm 55 : 22.

This is a command from God and yet how many Christians fail to obey tho injunction. It does not always seem an easy thing to do. Sometimes the burden seenis too great to. lift, and it appears impossible to cast it on God; but O, \ what a relief when a soul is thus enabled to.roll its burdens all on God. Ho then carries it, and if he bears its weight, we are comparatively free. Isaiah meant, this, wo imagine, when he wrote—“ Surely he hath borno our griefs, and carried our sorrows.” Yes, we know of no other way to hear the, ills of- life, tho cross of petty-cares and anxieties that.comes in the routine of every day life. We need an all sufficimt Saviour, a full salvation. Nothing short of this can carry us through, and bring us ofi’ more than conquerors. How thankful we feel that Sa(an is a conquored foe, that nothing can come to a child of God without our Father’s permission, and not all the combined eTorts of Satan’s power can bnllle Christ, Blessed be God ! As Charles Wesley w rote:

. ” Neither sin, nor enrth. nor hell T hy keeper can siirprlRc:CaretoM slnraher cannot fiteal On his nU-seelnR oyes;IIu Is Israel's sure defense . •-

*Israol all his caro shall provo; .Kept by waiehful urovhleueo And ever wakljig love.''

Sometimes we cast only part of the worry, or tlie sorrow, or tlio trial whatever it he, and wo wo will .find our inirilen-bearer carries it, and sustains us, just in this proportion. We are ofccn wonderfully impressed in reading tlio word of God to know how perfectly the olii and new Testaments agree. This command given through David to “ Cast thy hurtled on the Lord and ho "will,sustain thee ” is repeated hy Peter in one of his epistles, “ Cisting all your care upon him ; for ho caretii for you.” Sometimes ive east our cares and burdens on our earthly friends, and whilo wo often find this a relief thus to unburden our minds, yet there are thoughts and feelings ive pour into tlio heart of' Infinite love ’whish wo could not tell to any finite creature. Every redeemed snnl has this same glorious privilege, every child of God, whether- weak or strong, whether rich or poor, whether great or small in his kingdom, is invited to tlie mercy seat, and to east all his burdens on God, Shall- we do.it? Shall w o honor Jesus by making hint a confidant and friend? Lift, us ho liiore trustful, and wo will find its each troubled thought urges its way to and strives for admittance into our heart us we lay it down on Jesus that lie “ ciirolh ” 0 , so tenderly, for U3, nnd we shall be sustained, even while walking through the fiery ; ftirnaeo or “ through the waters,” for we shail hear his .voice saying “ Fear thou not for I am with thee; bp not dismayed fo r i am thy God, I ’will strengthen' thee, yea will help tlicc, I will uphold thee with my right hand.” 0 , for stronger faith that'we may always believe for his presence oven when wo do not feel it.

Of Mrs. President Hayes, the Fre» donian says; “ The spiritual life ofthis ladv has’been from the time of her entering the society at Washington- a

' potent force in the social life of that gay city. And she who can in such an atmosphere keep her soul unspotted, her life simple, pure and sweet, her affections fixed on heavenly things, achieves a greater victory over- the world than the. cloistered saint. Vanity Fair is emphatically: Vanity Fair in

. Washington, but no one will deny that the character of the entertainment has been greatly modified through - Mrs. Hayes’ example, and her influence is a positive power, when in a weaker ■woman.it would only have been neu- tail.”

Eav, F. H. Purdy at Work.

Following tbe evangelizing tour of Bro. Purdy, who, accompanied by his wife nnd Mrs. L. H, Kenney, is again laboring on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, we learn that during a brief visit to Crumpton, the entire community was aroused to the urgent claims of salvation. Stores, workshops, the village tavern, and all the families, were visited, with prayer, exhortation and singing, and many became hopeful subjects of grace. From this.point, tho way opened to Galena, where a deep and powerful work ia now in progress.. It began with close heart searching, and such tests as woro likely to bring the people down to “ bed rock,” in the line of experience. The Spirit was poured out in such a measure that timid ones, who had never ventured to pray public have become mighty instrumental i iea in leading sim.e s to t e cross. Some of the exercises have been characterized by what the moro fasti dions would call extravagance; . for the people shout aloud, fall down under “ the power,”*, and become zealous workers in the meetings. Even child ren. arq flocking to tho Cross of Jesus; nnd being converted in encouraging numbers. From indications already quite evident, the work will prove ex tensive and deep, wherever theso heroic laborers can find time to labor in that region of country,

Library Association.The delightful weatlier on Monday.

Feb.. Id , caused a largo attendance at the regular meeting of the Association in the. evening. Seated at the littte round table on the platform was Mrs James A. Bradley, President; Miss E. Johnston, Critic, and Mrs. Dr. Mitchell Secretary, the ordinary, preliminary business was b o o h dispatched. Ab an evidence of the goodwill and spirit of mutual accommodation which prevails in this organization, it might be men tioned that on Monday, evening, Feb. 23, the Presbyterian Church proposed to hold an entertainment*and sociable at Educational Hall, and the Association very-gracefully adjourned over for two weeks that all who chose might attend the sociable.

The meeting was opened with i piano solo, “ The Shepherd Boy,” very beautifully played by Mrs. Clerihew. Mr. John C. Downs exhibited the operation of the- multiplying slate, and printed the programme of the evening from it. Mrs. Martin read a humorous sketch, in which the various peculiarities of the several. sects were cleverly hit. The selection read by Master Pawley did not strike us as being well chosen. Messrs. Yard and Baldwin sang “ Larboard Watch,” they were accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Peters. Miss Duncklee read a* selection entitled “ Fire.” The vocal solo by Mies Farrington was followed by the reading of a little poem, “ Inspired Lives,” by Mrs. McFarlin, which was beautiful in sentiment, and read with much feeling. Miss Carrie Howland read about somebody’s horse, and there was so much of it that we must be excused for forgetting the title. The question, “ la Ventilation a Modern Art?" was replied to by Mr. D. H. Wyckoff, The exercises were closed with the reading of. the critique by Miss Johnston.

On Monday, March 1, the Association will hold a public meeting, when an excellent programme will be offered.

riage ceremony was performed by Dr. • Ocean Grove, being ready for occu- Stokes,, under the most favorable and happy auspices, and after a wedding collation the young couple left on theirbridal tour h y the afternoon train for Philadelphia. The editor was remembered, as is usual'in such cases, with a slice of the delicious wedding cake.

On Sabbath morning last, the pastor, Rev. W. S; Barnart preached on "Go out into the highways aiid hedges and eonipol them to come in,”—Luke 14 :23.

Tlio outlying - masses demand the aL tention of the churches. Were all that ought to be in tho houeo of God gathered iti, there would not be room enough to contain them. But they do not come—they care not for tho church —and they havo many excuses for remaining away. Efforts are mnde to attract them. Churches of magnificent architecture are supposed to be inviting. Attractive music is sought to lend its charm s.. Sensational preaching

proposed to . catch itching ears, and painted sermons nnd blackboard sketchch arc used as so many magnets to ilrnvy tho refractory, stay-at-home masses. We have no words now’ to condemn these things in their proper use. We have only to say that these things fail to accomplish the design of the Gospel, and that our text proposes means. We are not to stand and wait for the masses to come aa we send but the advertisement that the feast ready, but we are to “ go out after them,” and by personal inflence compel thorn to becomo the partakers of the Gospel provision. The divine plan is

Go after them.” - Let us suppose that bur membership—now nearly 300 would listen to this Divine order and go out on this heaven appointed mission intolevery homo and to every individual, how long, suppose you, would it be before there Would be a general yielding to this combined influence resulting in an unheard-of revival ? Speaking of the Divine plan the text reminds us that a part of this plan is to reach the poor, the destitute, and 6in ful, first. These persons are those that abide in the highways and hedges ; the rich, the moral, the cultivated Jive in streets. The noble are not the first reached and never have been. Tho heads of the Jewish nation had no ears to hear—the apostles went to the des pised. The aristocratic of England were not reached at first by Wesley, but tears washed away the coal dust from the face of colliers that heard the word with gladness. And from the lowly and sinful we aro to find the mast wonderful examples of the power of grace to Bavo- The cultivated, moral man comes to the altar of God with re luctance, utters his prayers feebly as in no great need of help, finds his con science easily quieted, and by a sort of natural process thinks that God must accept such a pure being as himself. He quietly makes his profession, and those who know him are questioning what sort of change, if any, has conic over him. But let a miserable drunkard come to Jesus—let a vile wretch find his way to the .-cross. Either of them realizes that he needs a S a v io u r . The cry for help, is earnest, the sense of guilt is painful. Through tears and heart struggles faith claims pardon and salvation; Joy and reformation come together. Everybody sees the wonderful change,, and believes that none but God can do it. The. song, and shout and glowing testimony that - “ the Mighty to Save” has come, produce the sensation that heaven endorses, and the more refined become convinced that there is a mysterious power that may be found in answer to prayer. The blessed Christ11 came, not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance,” and we shall be most like him when we choose the greatest sinners as the objects of our labors. How may we compel them to come in ?. We must have the true life of God in oursouls. In laboring for the good-of others we may. remember that the stream never rises higher than its source. We, therefore, need to bp - united to the reservoir of infinite fulness that there may be no lack in our service.

Ardent desire, to bring in the lost is essential to success, and where it is there are in almos all cases results. A mother ardently desiring the coiiver- tion of her bov gets the news of his sal ration, and in a little girl longing to win a soul, gets her sister as the star in the crown of hpr rejoicing. When there is a willingness to work no com numder will be needed. The Spirit’s index finger will point out the field and joyful obedience will result Flowers are cared for that we may enjoy, the verdure and bloom; birds are caged and fed that we may listen their song, .the stone is chipped away that the ideal of beauty may appear, the canvass is skillfully, covered with paint that the landscape of living love- liuess may linger in our vision. It all implies work that we may have certain results. Why not then cultured flowers tbat may bloom in the garden of God Why not train voices to sing sweeter

glorified soul for tho inheritance incorruptible, unclefiled, and that fadeth not awny. .. ;

he seems as vigorous as when wo first lietoned to his energetic voice at the Peninsula camp-meetings.

The Lay Electoral College will convene at St. George’s M . E. Church at tho eamo timo the Philadelphia Conference will be in session at Union. There is much speculation ns to who will bo elected delegates to the ensuing General Conference. No better candidates than those named in T h e R e c o r d Inst week, we think, can be brought forward.

Tbe brethren at- Wharton Street saw clearly enough last weak that they could fix a day of genoral rejoicing for the wonderful result of the revival meetings held there for several months past, in the conversion of one thousand souls! Consequently they, appointed an all-day meeting for Wednesday, Feb. 25, to eolebrnte this event, and before the time arrived they had over a score additional over whom to rejoice. Bishop Simpson honored the occnsion hy preaching a practical and powerful sermon in the forenoon, and Rev. W. Swiudells, former pastor, preached in the afternoon. The day besides was entirely filled up with thrilling services in song, prayer, and experience, and. the altars were again crowded with inquiring penitents in the evening. Bro. Harrison, the chief instrument in the above work of grace, is a s’fresh and eager to win souls as ho appeared to be at the start. Ho gaye three aftorrioouslast week of active sorvico to the Tasker Mission, in connection with the WhartonStreetcharge, and of which Rev. G. W. Mooney ia pastor, which were greatly blessed to tho quickening of the people. The membership at Tasker has been more thun doubled during tho Conference year just closing, and a strong eflort will bo nmde to "secure Bro. Mooney’s return with a view of commencing .to build next year.

fit Preachers’ Meeting last Monday it being a business holiday, tho attendance of promineut laymen was unusually. large. Merchants, bank officers and many released from ordinary responsibilities in public business, takit g the opportunity tu be present. Rev. Dr. Reid, of the Mission Rooms, happened to be in- the city, and delivered an instructive address, at the close of which the current changes in Methodist ecclesiastical polity was taken up. Rev. T. B. Neely had ah appreciative audience in delivering a well-digested progressive speech on the subject in band.

I)r. Lord’s lectures, delivered every Monday and Thursday in-Association Hall, attract the largest crowds to that beautiful auditorium, many of whom have to stund a full hour or more, listening to the admirable unfolding of such themes as he knows bow lo present, even without the charm of oratory, but so full of suggestive thought that all who arc favored by hearing him go away delighted. In his three most recent lectures he^has been tracing the rise and progress of the Reformation, and in connection with this branch of history, the origin, character, aims, astonishing success and downfall of Jesuitism. A number of Roman Catholic ecclesiastics were among his audience last Monday.

In naming that trinity of churches down town—Wharton Street, Messiah and Mariners’ Bethel, in these notes some time back, we might have.included three more, hardly less notabk for religious enterprise and revival success. Ebenezer, under the charge of Rev; Wm. Downey, one of the camp-meeting preachers of Ocean Grove last Summer,, has had a year of satisfactory work in soul-saving^ and the building up of new converts in the faith and practice of the gospel. At St. Paul’s, Rev. J. S. J. McConnell, special services have been held, resulting in the addition of a number of memheraon probation. Bro. McConnell, as Conference Secretary, has many* matters on his hands besides the urgent demands of a large pastorate, but with admirable system,'tireless industry, and unfailing resources, be keeps abreast with the times. Scott Church, Rev. W. M; Ridgwav, is a sort of revival institution in itself.* Born of successive baptisms of the Spirit, it keeps up its prestige, and the fervor of former days is not allowed to die out: Bro. D. L. Anderson and other excellent workers have labored here, and the harvest has been plenteous.

Of the churches in the south western section of the city,: beginning with Salem, and including Broad Street, Eighteenth Street,. Christian Street and Fiizwater Street, we hear encouraging reports, and Western, at one time nearly defunct, is said to be once more

Bridging the Lake.M r . E d it o r :—Through T h e R e c o r d

I learn that the question of building a bridge across Wesley Lake, to connect Asbufy Park with Ocean Grovo is being agitated. I hope this will novor bo done, for many' reasons. I have taken a deep interest in Ocean Grove since its '’discovery” by a small band of Methodist ministers, and its purchase by tho Ocean Grovo Association, and with my family have been property owners since the first, having spent our summers thero without a single exception. .

To me thero has always been some thing very’ sacred and hallowed about the place, and anything that seems in any way to interfere with its sacredness and make any’ change in the rules and regulations governing the place, or to change in any way the security and protection which its inhabitants enjoy’, I am.very much afraid of, especially the oponingupof a public highway by a bridge over Wesley Lake. The mo ̂ment that is done, what will our rules and regulations avail ? It Would seem to me like tiie building , of a fort, and leaving one side open and unprotected. What would be the difference between Ocean Grove and Asbury Park, 8*0 far ns government is concerned, except in name, if this highway was to be opened up? Hus the Ocean Grove Association any right, morally or legally, to allow this to be done, after selling lots with the understanding that the same rules, regulations and security, were to con Unue? I think not; and I have too much faith in, and too much respect for, the president and members of the Ocenn Grove Association to believe that it will be done. Dr. Stokes haa tho best interests of Ocean Grove at heart, and I honor him for what he has done in the past, and think him too sharp and sound to allow anything of this kind to be done without using all the power vested in him to defeat it. ' I also think the same of the honored members of the Association who have worked so nobly* and harmoniously for its success.

Ocean Grove is becoming widely known all over the land, especially West and South, and was never so popular as now. The cause, of its great popularity is in the -overnraent and security of the place. Let there be no letting down of the bars any whero. Let it be known far and wide that there is one place on this continent where Christian families can enjoy a vacation with such unbounded privileges by the sea side, and be under the protection of the best government this side of heaven, and Ocean Grove will prosper as if by magic, in the future as it has in the past. But open it up to all outside influences and its doom is sealed!

■MclTamara vs. the Pope.

Rov.,Joseph Cook in a recent ” prelude,” speaking of the political power of Romanism .in America, starts off with this amusing, but highly significant incident:

When the Pope excommunicated Bishop McNamara, of Now Y ork, ihe latter, very justly thinking that an Irish prelate should havo as much power as an Italian, retaliated by excommunicating the Pope. Tho papal bull against McNamara iiad been published; and the New York preacher endeavored to make public his authorativo rejoinder. No newspaper was willing to receive it; and ho finally engaged a man who could neither speak nor read English to hold up the American bull of excommunication; in largo print on a poster, olevated at tho end of a long wand, iu the presence of multitudes, m the open square near ffitv Hall. Thus, at the end of a, pole, there wns advertised » notice, which, si tho Herald, of tho next day thought, perhn » 3 twenty thousand people rend. The man who carried ti.e announcement returned to his employer nt night and said in broken English that he did not know what the Bishop’s Business was, hut that he was sure to havo plenty of customers. [Laughter and applause.] Tho Tribune tower looks down upon tire busiest and stateliest street known to the history of republics. With tho far-viewing eyes of its clock-faces it' gazes across the sea toward Italy, end over America toward the sunset; hut I beliovo that ou the day when that event occurred, those eyes did-not sec a much more significant sign of the times than was taking place just beneath the tower. An Independent Catholic movement, under the lead of Bishop McNamara, has opened with great promise in New York city, where it is more needed than anywhere else on our continent. It has begun, not without high encouragement, in the city of Boston. Again and again of late our chief auditorium has been filled to tho roof -with an audience niffe- tenths of Irieli, or of foreign descent, and raining down applause of the most earnest character upon Bishop McNamara’s defense of himself against Vaticanism; It is true that with tho ap- plauso has been mingled a certain' amount of hissing, but this bt. only given zest to the occasion ; and if tho American people could have listened to the entire ; iroceedings, th hissing would have been lost in acclaims of gladness that the Roman priesthood nnd laity are at las! exhibiting independence of Rome.

. THE LAKES.

Ocean drove in n utate of nature was a beautiful spot. It had lino needle forests reaching down to the shores of a miniature lslco; it had long, sinuous, silvery lakes, extending from the interior quite down to the sea; it had wide roaches of evergreen foliage shading from the green masses of the tree-tops down to the very water’s edge; it had Beds of pond lilies and meadows of cranberries; it had Shady walks, and clover croquet grounds which: grow naturally down on the water level, out of the hard, Bmooth-beaten sand with a freshness'snd a fineness that no artificial planting or watering over produced. It had wood, water and meadow; ocean ■;nd forest, green leaves and gray .sand, pure air and ealtspray—in short, it had nature in her most, various, eharniing and seductive mood, and that too in the immediate, vicinity of all the luxuries of civilized. life; M the boatman pad- died his solitary craft from the ocean sip Wesley Lako, he saw ahead and bn either hand a fringe of green; foliage everywhere kissing tho surface of the water and extending inland as far as the eye could - reach He saw a few white tents peeping out from among the trees on the left bank with scarcely another boat, or p#8on, or sign of civilized life in view within the whole sweep of the horizon; and when he reflected that he was within a few minutes’ ride of.homes of luxury nnd nil the paraphernalia of cultivated society, no wonder that he exclaimed as every one did, What an enchanting spot!” Ait sorts of people visited Ocean Grove to see- what and where it was. The school girl came and giggled at the novelty of the scene and pronounced it " nice.” " The city belie cama with he: vocabulary of four cutjcc- titld, snd exhausted upon the place each

: and eyery one of them in . turn, with endless variety and repetition. The traveling salesman dropped down for day’s recreation and compared It with other pretentious places which lie had seen. The men of business and of pro- feasipri came, took it all in, and Btraigh t» way bought lota and determined to buiid houses' for Summer homes.. After each visitor had comprehended the " situation” and experienced the delight which each one felt at the novelty, the natural beauti&s and id vantages for a Summer •resort which the place comprised to a greater extent,than' any other spot on the habitable globe, the second thought was—moitquiioa. Jersey woods without mosquitoes was as incredible as a Jersey village without a bar, or an old maid without crimps. Many a night has tho writer lain in his tent in the hot, sultry air of the dbg day month, purposely unprotected from the attacks of these venomous insects, awaiting, expecting and almost longing to hear the familiar hum of what Josh Billings calls a “ sociable little cuss,” lest perndventure the mosquito philosophy of this lawyer- hating State for once might fail. But it can be truly affirmed that Ocean Grove in a state of nature contained no mosquitoes.

Then the next question was malaria. “ Aha!” we said, “ a few hot nights will pot test this;” “ Whoever heard of a Jeraoy pond without “ chills?” Then some one suggested (he ought to h i»e a monument for his w it); “ Inquire dfthe natives, that is the only absolute test as

.to the exemption of any locality from fevor and ague,” and the way the natives were examined and cross-examined would have delighted a criminal lawyer. In this ordeal tho place triumphed. A case of “ chills” could not be found within the memory of man. Then we felt that we had really discovered another Eden, and that, too, only two hours ride from the city of

, New York!How little any of us thought that

with the first fine house would disappear tho sylvan charms of tlie place forever. Such was the fact A fine house in immediatq contact with ihe scraggy native pine was an esthetics! absurdity. It required fine grass as an intermediary to tone down the finish of the house to the roughness ol the adjacent nature. This implied cutting down trees, opening streets, grading terraces, in fact il implied the destruction of Ocean Grove as it teas, arid its recon- utructiou in such form as only time will reveal. I have watched tho transformation and discounted the future. Trees enough will remain to make it a forest lity, grass enough will come in to. cover up the gray, dirty sand, and the lakes will remain as in a state of nature. “ Aye, there's the rub I” Wesley Lake has a better chance for this than the other because of greater length. It lies lower in its bed, and tbe swamp which supplies its head waters is farther re moved from the town and not so soon to be denuded of its trees and exposed to the evaporating inllueneea of the sun. These coast lakes are only basins of rain water made by depression in the

clay. W esley, Lake is supplied by a Water shed of somo hundred acres. In a state o f nature this consisted of a thick coating of moss ami muck in/the swamps, and n thinI scarf coating of rotting leaves, roots and hnvun bn, the dry land. These spongy, coats absorbed the rain water, of the storms and slowly supplied'it.during.the intermediate dry; weather to the sand underneath to feed the fountains of the lake, They also prevented evaporation from going on from the soil; ; Then again tlie forest itself kept this scarf surface. moist ‘arid prevented the moisture from that being evaporated by the dry air and the sun.: Horn perfect means for preventing the rainfall from evaporation and preserving it to supply the lake could not lie contained than, the forest growth on this water shed in s. state of nature. But this forest growth and the spongy surface underneath it sooner or later is bound to he removed from the whole area tributary to Wesley Lake, which will produce two results, v iz .: More of the falling storm water will ruu directly over the surface into the lake, arid after the storm is over the evaporation will proceed for niore rapidly than before. I predict .it steady diminution of tlio supply of Wesley Lake hereafter intermediate, the storms. , ,

All that I have Said in regard to W esley Lake applies with greater force to Belcher. The main reliance of the latter is swamp hioas and muck. The Association have, cut off the forest and cleared up the ground. I think this unwise. Tho source of supply for this lake was very limited. By clearing up the water Shed they have increased the evaporation a hundred fold. If this policy is carried out, arid the swamp arid mriek removed, t predict that the lake will be greatly injured if not destroyed. The swampy head waters of Fletcher, Lake should be allowed to grow up again. A few years’ -growth c ould answer every purpose as a shado for the surface, and'its my judgment avert a very serious danger. Of course tlie sw.amp reservoir of Wesley Lake is beyond our control, and we are bound to suBer whatever injury its denudation may occasion. But the Association own the trough of Fletcher Lake, and can protect it as they see fit. The Grove without these twb lakes.would bo a sorry affair. Haying been at .such pains to graduate the outflow intermediate, tho storms it becomes them to consider tho danger to the reservoirs from the denudation of tlie forests and swamps. “ A word to the wise is sufficient," or at any rate it ought to be; J.

Venice,

From ft beautifully printed nnd illustrated volume, “A Tour Around the •World by Gen. Grant;” (National Publishing Co.,) we take the following excellent description of the city ol Venice J .■■■■..* * ■ . ■ ■ ■ ■

Venice is built upon one hundred and fifteen little islands, tlio streams running between them, with the exception of the Grand Canal, hieing seldom more than twenty feet in width. The tide from the sea rises and falls in these canals, which are to the number of 341, keeping the water always pure and healthy. Some of the latteral canals are scarcely more’than twelve feet wide, out of these canals the houses all rise abruptly and their principal front and entrance always faces the canal, visitors stepping from the boat on the door sill. The houses of. Venice have no yaids, aide alleys, or any vacant ground connected .with them, one end is on a canal and the other on a narrow lane or perhaps .hacked up solid against a neighbor’s house. The city is'.? finished ’ because there is scarcely room left large enough to ergct a lime shed, except on the distant .outlying islands. It is compact and solid with the exception of some small squares or court yards left near the churches. Those .who think .that Venice.cannot be thoroughly explored, by the pedestrian without resort to the ( gondolas and canals are equally mistaken. It is provided with bridges, moat of them very elegant little structures of white marble or iron, to the enormous number of 378. They are all arched bridges Bpri ngiog u p to th e centie; so as to af- ford free passage under them for the gondolas. There is no street, or rather lane, or alley in Venice which leads to a canal that is not provided -with a. bridge so that those who know how: to find their way can make, as much speed from point to point as if using a gondola. Both the streets and the canals, with ihe exception of the Grand Canal, are so crooked that 100 yards ahead can seldom be seen on either; indeed

yards would be nearer. the mark. They both turn and twist with -equal facility, and it would require a long time for any one to beftony? thoroughly familiar with them. Tlie cunals all intersect each other, and thus it becomes necessary to lay out the streets so as to suit the turnings of the canals.. The

great central attraction of Van ice is St. Mark's Square, undoiiLtedly Uie'ilncst in all tbh’World for the elogn11ee of its
