Soul Harvesters. .•

• The name of the late Rev. R. V. Lawrence, is notdestined to be forgotten. In one of his trenchant articles, writing on the “ aggressive aspects of Christian­ity,” he says:

“ Great is the breadth of the harvest- field, but the laborers are few. There are, it is true, many laborers standing in. their places waiting for. souls to come to be saved, but not many ready to go

and, as it were, force salvation into their, souls. The world will not be saved until the Church becomes more deter­mined, impertinent, aggressive. Build, if,you please, a thousand handsome churches, and put into every one of them a prim theologian to wait with due dignity until the people come in and decorously sit down to be saved,and you will find.it long before muph saving is done.

We want soul harvesters who will go where souls are and raise an excitement among them—who will pitch a big tent sorriewhere, or sing together a crowd on the corner, or go to some dead church, and then in love utter burning words tha t m il make souls mpve in some di­rection. We want laborers who will' inBorne way get out of the network of

church proprieties within which so many are slaves, and going forth, labor any where, like the free sons of God. We want evangelists, too, who have their eyes open wide enough to see that all who are by profession within the pale of the Church are riot saiiits—:that the chief business of soul harvesters is not simply to "preach to sinners” (outside sinners), and to get such converted, va-

are to be in . heaven by-and-by, when they meet their little children and mothers, but that there is in the Lord’s garner (the Church) a vast mass of rub­bish and chaff that needs to be cleaned and winnowed up, before any more sheaves are brought in.”

' Concerning Joy.

“ There is a mere animal joy, which flows from the healthful condition of the body. The animal spirits oyerflow . in their exuberance. The lam b. frisks on the sunny hill-sides, and the horse, in. the very fullness of life, prances through the pastures with arched neck and nim­ble foot. So men may be joyful by rea­son of their good physical condition. There may be not only ‘no rebellion when the stomach is full,’ but there may be an overflowing stream of animal joy. Higher than this is the gladness of worldly success, when the corn and the wine increase, the joy of sordid gain,'the joy Of the miser, the joy of the harvest. Above this is the intellectual triumph of the student, the gladriess .incident .to the victories of mind, the solution of a mathematical problem, or the discover­ies of the missing truth which was need­ed in order to convert- an hypothesis into a science. ■ Still higher is ethical joy, the approval of a good conscience pro­nouncing on a good action. . This is no small joyi I t is all that many have to cheer their sojourn in this vale of tears. More excellent still is the gladness of beneficence, the joy of awakening glad­ness in another heart, or of mitigating another’s sorrows: Many who are not Christians, have learned the secret of this seini-christi'ari joy, and by a charita­ble use of money, have opened fount­ains of felicity for themselves along their earthly path. All these kinds of joy arc natural; they lie on the dead level of the plain of nature. They are transient, and limited to this world. At the disparity of an infinite distance, is the joy of the Holy Ghost. I t is supernatural—an out- gushing fountain from a rock stricken by the rod of a greater than:: Mbsos. I t is a; joy riot springing up in the odurse of nature, but handed down from heaven, and implanted in the believing poul. I t

is really a miraculous spring opened by the Holy Spirit iii the Sahara of the hit-: man heart .’’—Love. Enthroned.

A Simile.

" " See how bcneatli the moonbeam's smile;. Yon little billow heaves its breast;

Arid foams and sparkles for a while,Then murmuring, subsides to rest.

Thus m an the sport of bliss and dire,Rises on Time s eventful sea;

And having swelled a moment there,Thjis Thefts intp eternity.' ' —Moore. • :—-—>— — --------------

Waves.' •'■■■

“ Not many years ago, a vessel, while crossing the Atlantic, was overtaken by ■ a violent storm. The sea rose in its fury. The good ship reeled under the com­bined influence of wind and waves. While the majority of the passengers sought refuge from the driving spray in the cabin, one eccentric old gentleman was seen skipping about the deck with.: unwonted activity—now on.the bulwarks, —now on. the quarter-deck, regardless of the drenching sea and the howling wind, and seeming as though he were a species of human stormy petrel.. This was the celebrated Dr.- Scoresby; amanwhohad spent his youth and manhood in the whale-fishery; who, late in life, entered the Church, and, until the day of his death' took special delight in directing the attention of sailors to Hirii whose word stilled the tempest and bade the angry waves be calm. Being an enthu­siast in scientific research, Dr.; Scoresby Was availing himself of the opportunity afforded by the storm to measure 'the waves. Others have made similar meas­urements, and-the result serves to prove that waves seldom or never rise muph more .than ten feet above the sea-level. The corresponding depression sinks to the same depth, thus; giving the height of the largest waves' an elevation of somewhere between twenty and thirty feet.”— Ocean IA/e.

. : Great Words. -•

There are some mighty words in Scripture.- In nature, we find the great Creator stooping, with infinite tender­ness, to construct and protect the deli? cate lily* and we behold his tremendous energies illustrated in the vast*forms of river, and cataract, and storm. So there are sweet and delicate sentiments in the Bible, that breathe the heavenly love of the heart that spoke them ; and there are.also -mighty wordsthatcom e sweep­ingalong with all thefullnesBarid grandv eur ofthe Divine Omnipotence. They1 are the Amazons and.-.Mississippis o f grace. Such: words are these: “ Whoso­ever,’’ “ W&atsoever,” and this mightyword “It proolaims God’ft intent. AU inn is to

be cleansed away. It m ay. have had forty years the start of Jesus in your soul,. I t may have intrenched itself be­hind strong t'ortificatipns, and wrought itself .into the most degrading and con­trolling appetites, until your eye is full of lust, and your thoughts full-of evil; until your imaginationis utterly covered with corrupt pictures, and your affections are trailing along the track of the low­est objects; until your whole spirit, soul ' arid body are subjected to the foulest depravity—the blood can cleanse it.all away. I t can enter the imagination and paint there the pictures of lieaven, .It can enter the mind arid subject every thought to God. It can purify the body and purge the affections. It can seize the fiery-steeds of appetite arid passion, and curb them into the sweetness of heaven. All sin is under the control of the blood. . To remove it forever, the mighty Victim died.—Rev. I. Simmons.

Rest. . .

• I t may be preserited to the mind under the image of a boundless ocean, with all its clouds and storms cleared away, and its' restless heayingp subsided into a motionless placidity. . Oyer th is.. is seen nothing but ther blue .concave, like the curtain of eternity, filled with a mild light, which rests upon the sea and illumines its surface.. No Sun, nor moon, nor stars arc seen. No land appears, in view. Far out of sight of the world, and all its false show, and out.of hearing of its noise^ a cross is seen on the surface of the calni, wayeless deep.- • On it there rests a sleeping infant with naught to dis­turb its innocent repose. Such rest have holy souls in Christ.—Happy Islands. ’

The.White Gull.

“ I was once standing by the grave of my departed children, under a brilliant sun, and cloudless sky, when suddenly, a light shadow passed over the sward.

Looking up for the cause, I beheld a snow white gull winging her lofty flight through the air. The thought immedi- diately struck me—thus it is with the dear objects of my mournful remem­brance. Here indeed lies the shadow, but above is the living principle.”,

“ And-evermore the waters worship God;And bards and prophets tune their mystic lyres,While listening to tne music of the waves."

Publisher’s Preface. .-VTHE NEW PAPER.-

Ah acknowledged want of the - com- 'munity, ho largely interested in, and identified with Ocean Grove,’ is intended to be met in this publication. .

T o all Siiininer residents, and tran­sient visitors, as well as their friends at •a distance, this R e c o r d will convey a somewhat vivid panorama of the servi-

V cos of the season, and prove a compend­ium Of items and incidents, which plea­santly diversify the daily life and expe­rience of all sojourners, at our increas­ingly-popular sea-side resort.

As the sewson advances, we contem­plate its enlargement to twice the size of this sheet, and during the progress of the July, and August meetings, intend printing a tri-weekly, or daily paper, furnishing 26 numbers in the course of the season. This will, enable as to keep up a curi'ent history of events, in the or­der of their daily occurrence.

Our.plan enibraces a synopsis of the religious exercises, all who participate, daily arrivals at the hotels, and board­ing houses, a directory of tent and cot­tage residents, and such special infor­mation in regard to social, sanitary and general regulations, under the judicious

. counsel of the Association, as shall con-' serve the order, happiness, and spiritual good of ali concerned. ' .

The. publisher assumes all the respon­sibility involved in making a respectable paper, only asking the liberal patronage of our visitors, and the encouragement of those necessarily engaged in the sec­ular departments, towards its success. *

. At. the very outset, it will be noticed, we have a fair showing of support in the form of advertising. Not a single ’ p erson, made awar e of our purpose, has refused to subscribe for one, five, or ten copies; or gladly avail themselves of the excellent medium the Record affords to make their business prominent. There are a great many more, who, as soon as they see our first number will, as a matter of course, want their cards inserted in the next; and subsequent issues through the campaign.

Our subscription and advertising terms are only nominal, comparatively; but w eexpecta large circulation, and merely wish to cover expenses. :•: Please note our figures at the head of

j this .coluirin. Speak a generous word ■ for the enterprise. Buy and distribute

copies all o.ver the land, apd. when you find a fact or incident that may add life and piquancy to these paged,- communi­cate it to our editor, Dr. Stokes. •

Sbmet^jbg Artistic.v - . yI t will tafce'fcut a single-glance at our

title to convey w the mind a 'ple&ura- ,ble'sensation. I t iB unique in’: design, characteristic in details, and beautifu^in:,executioh. ~\"■ Everything connected with Ocean Grove is so unusual, so much like ta. transformation; so charming, that we could not feel in harmony with ithe sujbr ject, did we not try; to send this R e c o r d forth on its public career in 'the most tasteful and attractive garb. V t .

Our artist, from the. rather crude in;- struction given, has drawn us a pleasing and varied picture, embracing no less ^han’ eightr -distipct and different views of our, Christian i‘‘ City by thVSea.'’ ,

Look at; it as a whole; and in its sepa-' rate angles.: I t is Well worth attention.

On the right, we have the broad en­trance to Main Avenue gateway, looking, down to the ocean, and underneath, tent- life - amid the foliage of thickiy studded ' trees, and a morning promenade. '' The letter- G” affords the framework for a rural cottage scene, with a touch of domestic ■ felicity; va's instanced in the baby-carriage. •

In the center, those familiar with the locality will instantly recognize the out­look from Ocean Pathway, near the flag­staff and suihhier-house, around which, many memorable surf-meetings have, been held. Here old and young love to linger. From the fresh hour of sunrise; away into- the stillness of succeeding- nightr-the place is hardly ever without admiring visitants. . - ; , ,

Over this, a fine representation of the Association RoomSj Post, and'Telegraph Offices, and the passenger platform.1 The large “ 0 ” forms, another boun­dary for one of the loveliest views on ; •the - grounds—Wesley lake,' a waiting, boat, a handsome veranda, and cottages dotting the woody shore.: ;■ Of the tout ensemble, of ourtitle, there­fore, * we think there can be but one ex- •; pression Of opinion—beautiful / ,

And the paper must be as neat, chaste and newsy, as its heading is unique. . 'p.

A word in this connection to our read: era. Preserve your papers. W hen; twenty-six numbers are printed, the series will be worth a cover; and it per­manent place in your home, as “a thing of beauty,” a remembrance, of—

‘‘Sunny"days, and joyous hours, .And moments filled with sweetness.”

The Sommer Outlook.

Springtime merges into Summer; and Qcean Grove Was never more beau­tiful. The sky is bright, and the atmos­phere pure and inspiring. The trees are putting on their new fresh garments of emerald, and waving in the soft light,' seem tremulous with joy. Every thing is aglow, and quivering with the gush of life. The very birds are merry with,

j their cheerful songs, and the. robin is out early, in the morning, ready for business. The wren twitters away as if the whole world depended on her activity; or, if she failed to do her work, every thing would go wrong. An earnest, busy, little creature is the wren. The thrush, too, tunes his. notes with the dexterity of a mocking-bird, and little nocks of white- breasted snipe, .skim,the lake on., fleet, wing, o rstriketheirlongbiilsin the’soft soil by the water’s edge. Seeking .food. The sea weara its royal robe of.blue, ajid •flashing in the sun, looks 9s fresh as the day it came, from its linker’s hand.

their summer homea along the coast. We have solicited, b u t without success, a reduction of rates to $4.00, including

?ilt^5 apd frcaa the Grove.

Presbyterian - Church, „ came upon out grounds thjeei: or four years ago, and were so much pleased , and profited, physically and spiritually^; that they built a rieftt little cottage on the beach; where they resided in sum­mer. Desiring to remain here during .. the winter, they built Cypress Cottage, Cor. Whitefield Ave. and -Mt. Hernion Way, in the. Grove. .Since-fhen, thgy have built, in connection; on four lots; on the S. W. corner of Whitefield Ave.' and Mt Hetmon Way, what is to be -known as the “ Godfrey Home,” where it is their purpose to reside while their Heavenly. Father permits them to stay oh earth; then, it is provided by liis will, [that the property shall become a Wid-^ W ’s Home forever 1 r .- v • ..

Alex.

Mr. W. made a caieful inspection of. our grounds be­fore proceeding, and has- infused the

.'greatest energy into his preparations.A inammoth hotel apd pavilljon, with several cottages have been erected, and; lots are selling well. ' Soon the coast line will be dotted with these off-ahoote,: or imitations of Ocean Grove. We wish ' them all success.

The Record.—Few except those who have tried it, can appreciate the trouble arid outlay of starting a new paper; even a miniature sheet like this. But now, with forms arranged, border^ fitted, rules cut, cliases type and ]iress iri order, ^e are ready to go forward in bur volunteer work, We hope to iriake the Recom), a lively and iriterestirig jorirniil, worthy. j to circulate everywhere; arid pfeopliewill 1 read, appreciate, and preserve it.

: ~r s-..v;.SgM JfE9 READING.No inconsiderable portion of the in­

telligent, population of the country are so severely * taxed in th e ir; time : and attention to business, that the respite allowed them in their vacation is their chief opportunity to read, up: such mate­rial as the tireless press is throwing off in multiplied thousarids of fresh, and inviting pages, to . please the fancy or improve the- mind. The number and character of our illustrated periodicals, to a very large extent, supplies the'pub­lic thirst for general, information. Of this class, there are some to be avoided for their unhealthy, sensational and prurient character; b u t,of the series issued' by ' ' ’ '

HARPER A BROTHERS;• we can speak with cbnfidence and un­qualified. commendation. The Weelchj and :Bazar are’; bright arid . attractive,: arid -the Monthly is a vitde memni of pleasing, literary, scientific and useful knowledge— .

. -" From grave to gay, from lively to severe."

These periodicals can be obtained by the traveler at. any news stand, or on almost any train between Saco Bay and San Francisco. ' . . '

Of new and seasonable books, the above publishers announce, “ Green’s Short History of the English People.” Bishop Haven’s book on Mexico: “ Our Next Door Neighbor.” “ The Work of God in Great Britain,” under Moody and Sankey. “ Hand-b'ook for European Travelers,” &cv with a fine catalogue of lighter reading. -.,

’’ : PETERSONS’.. Two volumes frohr T. B. Peterson <fe

Brothers, Philadelphia, are on our table. A 552 page 12mo., entitled, “ Bertha’s Engagament,” by Mra. Anri S. Stevens, quite a well Written and readable story ;■ and “ Mystery of DarkHollow,” one of Mrs. Soutliworth’s best class of• works- How this” accomplished lady can turn ou: so lriuch that seems to suit the popular taste, is a matter of wonder,. Her pen is the most prolific of'this busy age. Peterson’s books are offered at jnuch lower rates, according to size and style'; than any we know off.'

ATLANTIC CITY..An elegant brochure, beautifully illus­

trated, from the press of Lippincott & Co., gives, in a series of charming pic­tures, the salient points of this popular resort. Between it and Cape May, the rivalry is beneficial. Atlantic City would be distanced, however, but for the enter­prise of the Camden and Atlantic Rail-.-

• road, with such public-spirited officials to keep its attractions prominent, as D. M, Zimmerman, Esq., its Secretary and Treasurer, . To his kind attentions we are indebted for these “ Sea Side Views,” the publication of which will doubtless serve to draw a larger share of public attention to Atlantic City.

CENTENNIAL LITERATURE.The approach of the Centennial An-

niversary bf American Independence has produced unwonted activity among those of antiquarian tendencies. Phila­delphia, as .the great focus of interest, seems (o be wide awaare. Drawings of the World’s Exposition buildings ap­pear on letter-hoads; business cards and envelopes; and mariy of the pap ere are making their readers familiar with the architecture of the occasion by publish­ing fine engravings. One of the most artistic and beautiful specimens of the art ever issued; if we except Appleton’s Art Journal and Picturesque America, is a morithly just commenced bv Allen, Lane & Scott, and J. W. Lauaerbach, entitled, “A Century After.” Its. first number gives some picturesque glimpses of Philadelphia, including the Public Buildings, as t.hey are to be, with Inde- 'pendence Hall, the State House in'.a Snow Storm, Old- Swedes’ Church, and Fairmount Water W orks; the letter­press is alst; finely executed. This is a publieatidnin whieh its eitizehs should Justly feel proud. I t will be corhpleted In fifteen beautifully, embellished num­bers- I t is ,sol<l only on ^ubsoriptibh^

Rev. A.

——The name of a new lessee will be noticed in connection.with the popular " Cottage of Content.” We shall miss our old friend Ainsworth and his excellent wife this season; but the reputation of tlie house will not suiter in the hands of Jas. Ort, and his “ te tter half.” I f Mrs. O. knows anythin:;, it is to take good care of all committed to her chaise. Those who havs- been regular guests in former years, will find this Cottage ready with Improved accommodations, and reasonable terms,

— rThat mother showed some practical sense, •who, having her choice of a 'trip to Europe, or a cosy cottage at Ocean Grove this Bummer, chose tlie latter: She thus avoids sea-sickness; homt-- liekues , the bustle .and "danger of transatlantic travel, the possibility of leasing her umbrella and other things, and perhaps a fearful shipwreck. None pf these contingencies are likely to happen here; but instead, health renewed, and the chil­d renall delighted and always happy.
