"'Christ our Passover Is sacrificed for us."—1 CORINTHIANS 5 : !.■■■ ; The Je wish Piissovor was the first and central fact of the Old Testament, Christ’s isacrifice on: tie cross Is the first and central fact of the New Testament. The Old Testament made way for the New';' th!e first fact made way ior the final ' sacrl ficlal fact. Th e last, was the fulfill- ment, the. first the Introductory announce- ment/ The, fact of the Passover cannot be disputed. The Passover-yet exists with very much of-its original and Mosaic form amongst the people whose fathers were the agents of its inauguration; and it is likely that an institution yet in existence, dependent upon the obedience nnd fidelity of a nation, and partaking of a rigidly re liglous anti profoundly patriotic character, did begin exactly, as the record . states. .■ ;Tlie rabbi of the synagogue and the : preacher of the cross agree upon the orilg* . inai fact. The Spirit of inspiration gives / i t an overflying voice and an all-glorious significance in the words that “ even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us." Let us Btudyr ■■■ '■ '■O ': 1. The. ceremonial observance instituted by Moses.; “ PaaswjsjVV..W e lcnow that reference Is here made to the institution wliich^JJoses formed under tlie Divine command. In viewing its origin we may regard, the,. observance’ as an act of obe- dlencQ. and religious worship to God; as the'divinely appointed means o! Israel’s safety and deliverance; as the memorial of that deliverance, the blrtliday of their liberty * and aa figurative and explanatory of the way of salvation, by faltb;:this lat- ter; view is the one taken by Paul in the text, and evidently t ^ phe put forth in the epistle to tlie Hebrews. In order that w;e may recognize, this figurative form of the institution, it will be necessary to call over and "remark upon the pTomlhent features of it. - \ \ ■■ ' 1. There was a. victim selected—a lamb chosen from the flock, a male of the first year, without blemish. V 2. There wad the slaying of the lamb. This’victim was to.be slain publicly, after being set apart in silence for four days, and It was to be slain between the “two evenings” of the fourth day. :■ 8 . There was tlie sprinkling of the blood. The blbod was* to be taken/in a'-basin, sprinkled' on the lintels and slri e posts of the door—sprlnkled with a bunch of hys- '\:X :'.'U ; : 4.There .was the j eatl n§ of the flesb; it must be roasted with fire s not a bone of the lamb to be broken; the-flesh was to be eaten ’with '- baste, with; loins girded, feet shod, with bitter herbs and unleavened bread, : \ :'0 ‘. 5. There were the blessings that follow; ed; deliverance from death, releasement from si avery,:and final possession of Can- aan.; These .are the leading facts connect- ed wlth'that sublime institution which had Its origin on the night of Egypt’s greatest plague; an<J Israel’s »greatest mercy; night that, resembled the cloud of,. divine presence, afterward provided—all light and life io . Israel, but darkness and death to Egypt’s sons. This institution, however, points to something greater and grander. It is but the shadow, we must find 'the sub* stance 5 the figure • and type; we must see the reality and antitype. This ceremonial must be absorbed in the fuller light and glory of the Spiritual ; for “ even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.” ' y IL The grand meaning. Paul inakes it signify: The PassoverifcseU was the sol. emu renewitt'af the patriarchal doqtrine of substitution. A e death .of Christ was the consummation T>f; that same . doctrine. Scripture Is fuwyof, tlie teaching, of the vicarious naturo of Christ’s death (see 53d ch. Isa.) Now, if the Passover and the death’ of Christ are the renewal and con- summation of- that Scriptural arid univer- sal doctrine, we may expect to find tlie same phases In both. The loading feature must be the same, while the final expres- sion of the doctrine, must be complete in efficacy and unfailing in benediction. Let us here “ Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the.world,” ] 1 We have a victim selected. God pro- vlded His own Lamb. Jesus is'pre-em- inently . “ God’s ; Lamb.’!. , Abraham saw, that lamb when he said, “ The Lord will •provide’Himself a lamb." Isaiah saw the lamb—“ He is led as a lamb to the slaugh- ter.” ., John Baptist ,cried; “ Behold the Lamb of God,” etc. And it was riot only that ,in His conduct the name and charac- ter. were one,, but in. His willingness to die. His sacrificial death made Him our “ Lamb of ' God;” He was taken from among His brethren, “ for He took' not hold of the nature of angels, but the seed of men.!’ He was taken in the prime of His life—scarce thirty years of age. He was without spot or blemish. lie, knew no siri ;,guHe was not found in his mouth. 2. We Jiuve alamb slain. “ The lamb that w.as.slain ” is the Scriptural mode of describing the meritorious work of Christ on earth and the mediatorial work of Christ.in heaven. He was slain , publicly. Crowds saw Him die. The city that had been the’scene of sacrifices from-the set- tlement of Israel in Canaan now became the platform : of the . final act of propitia- tion; and while surging thousands, like ebbing- and flowing tides, trooped through that city,; Jesus was led away and cruci- fied. He was slain between the two even- ings, from 3 to G o’clock. He had been well tried; and perfectly tested ere He died. Pour thousand years from the Fall in Eden to the Atonement on Calvary Four years-of Christ’s public ministry. Four days from His triumph to His death. Thus, tried by;God during tlie ages; tried by devils during\ His ministry; tried by tho;. representatives of the ceremonial, national and imperial law, yet no spot was found !n;£[im. Fiends found nothing in Him; Pilate found no fault in Him ; God was well pleased .with H i m a n d froni His own lips there fell the mightiest chal- lenge tliat ever confronted men: “ Which of you conviriceth me of sin?*’ That silent, sweet, suitable victim, " Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us.” III. We hava our blood of sprinkling. By Christ “ the' fountain, was opened,” and we npw come to the blood of sprinkling. This blood is to be sprinkled Upon the heart, not cast under, foot .to be trampled upon and .despised; but it must be the sign of lifp, and the Bavin’g .mark of life stamped on the heart. It must be applied by the act of faitli. The faith must be a living, clinging, absorbing, applying, marking principle. Like the liyssop, it must ab- sorb and then apply to ,the soul, y ,4. We. -have Our spiritual feast. The flesh was to be Toasted with fire, denoting the Be verity of our, Saviour’s sufferings. Not a bone of Christ’s was b’roken. .Christ must be received with haste, “ Behold, now is the. accepted time.? Hq must be received' with loins girded, <areadiness to do God’s will. He must be received with feet!shod, determination to be free. lie must be. received with the bitter herbs of godly sorrow, and with the: unlea.vened bread of sincerity and truth. 5. We have the blessing that follow. Deliverance from death—spiritual and eternal. “ The gift df God is eternal life;” with Christ itis.all “ puss over,” not “ pass Inaffliction passes over, not “ in.” Trials pass over and do • not strike* in. Death-passes over. Releasement from slavery. Jesus makes free indeed. “ ’Tis ‘freedom such: as :angei^ use and kindred to.the liberty of God.” Final possession of beaveri. Tlie. pass over becomes the “ pass honie." Jesus is our card of intro- duction and our eternal friend. “The Lamb is the theme of heaven—“ Worthy is the Lamb?’ : ‘ ’:v . ;i. Let the believer ; remember that his safety Is in the. blood of Christ, the “ signed life.” j “ Christ livetU ih me.” “ The life is in the blood,” not in virtues,;develop- ments, beauties, ideals' or negatives!j but “ the blood of Jesus Christ His Son clean- seth from all sin.” I call the unsaved to the Lamb of God; go not out^. leave not God’s house, pass not the limit of this con- sec rated spot* the sacrifice is here ; stay, oh,‘ 8 tay where you are, and get the appli- cation of His blood 1' I hear the beat of the angel’s wing and the wail of the dying beyond j death is out there v oh, stay I The Passover is here;; then save your soul and keep the feast.-r/fy#« Joseph Odell in ifet- ropolitan Putpit.

Thy glory, when wo sco '• so.is tho; Christian to .th® : world around Thee on Thy throne. —~F. R, Havergal,: Elijah in tha Gave.. In thiB cave Elijah lodged at teast one night. “ The word of the Lord,” tho di* vine Logos, came to liim with the inquiry, “ What doest thou here, Elijah?” The question is best understood as an invita- tion to explain the hard necessity whicli impelled him to. seek that spot, arid of this his reply I b a frank, completb statement, arid riot the bitter, complaining defense Which many have found it. “ I have been very jealous,” he answered, “ for the Lord, the God of hosts,” .nnd this - had been Bhown in .his zeal againpt the prevalent idolatry,; they “ have forsaken thy cove- nant, thrown down thine altars; and slain thy prophets with the sword,” thus to their utmost extirpating the-cause of Jehovah from 'the land, and,” he went on,' “ I, even I. only, am left ” of the’prophets, “ and they seek my life to take, it away.” This is what compelled his flight and brought him to those solitudes, Moses In a time of idolatry arid trouble had on this very spot besought. God to' sliow him his glory, deslririg better to Un- derstand his nature and plans of grace; As God answered him- in symbol, so now he will, unasked-, in a similar way.' teach: the prophet. Thunder; lightnings and an eurthquako attended the giving of the iaw, but there was an afterpart of goodness and grace; so here, “ the Lord passed by,** and a strong, wind tore the; mountains and shivered the .cll(fs, an earthquake shook their granite masses to their;base, arid the fire streamed in the lightning’s blaze, but the Lord’was not in tiiem in the sense In which he was; in,the sound of gentle still- ness that followed as tlie soft breeze played among the peaks and crags. W hat is the lesson Intended ? That with all his terribleness Und hatred of wickedness, God is a God of goodness and mercy: Displaya of , power and force are some- times necessary to establish the truth, but the truth is of more icnportance than they God works miracles when he sees. it necessary, but he has; other; methods of punishing .wickedness, and .his ordinary way of overcoming evil Is . through the working of his providence, the silent op oration of, ills truths and trie power 0 t his Spirit. The wind and earthquake and fire alarmed, but to the-soothing of the gentle sound the prophet could,listen and trust. He recognizes the presence of God.—Dr. Whcdon in Northern Christian- Advocate. The Pure in Heart. hitri,. If it be a matter of vital importance for the safety of .iife and property: that the lighthouse should have the utmost care and attention, how much more important that the Clulstlan’s light should burn with a bright and steady lustre, amid the sur- rounding darkness, And If-you are care- ful to be pure in heart, you need no other care to give light. The pure heart shines without any effort on its. part; It shines brilliantly and beautifully. If your purity is paled by one. element of impurity in your character, the, effectJs like the light- house with one pane of glass broken, and tin put in its place. This happened to a lighthouse a few years ago on the coast of Florida.. A light of glass .was broken in the evening. The wind was . rising and blew out the lamp. The keeper put a sheet of tin in place of the broken pane and the light burned, sending forth its:rays’ in every way but where the tin was. -There was a shadow and fbis shadow’grew wider as it stretched outover the waste of waters, and vessels and lives were, lost’that night in that shadow. In the shadows of our impurities souls are' lost. Purity of heart Is the; window through which God shines into Souls, so that we see him there. Purities of heart are'also the eyes through which we see God. With purity of heart we -see Him in everything, and know that all,things work together for good to them that love Him, and our hope becomes an anchor .to the. soul both sure and steadfast, and that eritereth Within the .veil, whither is gone for .us even; Jesus, our forerunner, as we Bhull see Him in bis beauty. Pure in heart, v .... “ Thhio oycs Phnll sco the King 1 tho mighty One Tho nmny-crowncd, the Jight-cnrobed ;and He Shall bid thee share tho kingdom Ho hath won, Tbtno oyes shall see. "And iu his beauty I stay Ihee, mortal song, The ' altogether lovely’ Ooo must bo Unspcakablo Jn glory—yet ere long, Tlilne oyes shall see. passion is kindled in the heart to possess this ideal. Those who are constantly look- ing unto JesUs learn to love. Him with a paramount love. Their desire is: “ I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy like- ness,” This ideal baa a plastic power. It is a Well-known law of our iaeing that the objects looked, upon with admiration, such as a statue, picture, scene, etc.* mould us into the same image. “ We all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory, of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the spirit of the Lord.” " Yes. though tho land bo very far away, A step, a moajont, ends tho toll for the* . Then, changing grief for gladness, night and day, Thluo eyes-sUall see—Gad.1 ' " A step, a moment, ends tho toll for thee ; ,Ch: • " • * ........... ■—Dr. Damd II Kerr, in The Treasury, The Ideal Man. Purity produces Its own hnppiness—a happiness which has a sweetness like the flowers to fill the atmosphere about one with Its fragrance. Purity is a:fountain' in itself from whlcli wei; drink and are,satis- fied and joyful. ; A. conscience void of offence before God and men is a pleasure fiill .of the bestgratifications we can.know; • What pleasure can excel; that of. pure' .thought I, Thoughts soaring to the heights of purity, .wandering; on and on,.never heediug to be check ed, because al ways good, always devising some new method of doing good and helping jo make the -.World. pure. Such thoughts, affect the whole being of’the person, -Like Goethe’s “ Tale of Tales,”- in which the lamp shin- ing in a fisherman’s hutchanged tho rough, dark hut into solid silyer, and as the lamp kept ou shlnlng it changed;even the form of the hut into a temple of exquisite workmanship. Pure; thoughts shining, in one’s h ear.t,.constantly, have the po wer to make tlie rough, dark place even shining as silver, yea, a beautiful temple for God’s indwelling.- The pleasure of such a state is Indescribable. It is a foretaste of heaven.- Yet with Christ in the heart such purity and.pleasure are possible io everyone. ' Begin this purity by taking Christ in. That is God’s’way, of making pure heart’s. Years ago a company of travelers in .our western mountains determined to climb to the top of one of tlie rocky peaks. , - After long, tiresome effort and much danger they gained the summit, and found there tlie fresh tracks of a wagon; and the evi- dences of a picnic party having been there before them. On further examination they found, on tlie other slde'of the mountain an easy road to the sumuiIt. God has'pt'e- pared in Christ a wiiy;; to purity, of heart and to seeing God .arid:heaven/ No' use in any one trying , to climb Up soihe -.other' way; • You uiay climb up a mountain in some other way or. on the. wrong side,, but there is onfy one way to heaven—God’s j lies at the basis of-all improvement, phys- way,- a pure heart by Jesus’ power And for: iciil, mental and; moral. . The verybest his sake, ' # *men feel-humiliated when they ;cpmpftre It is related of a certain Greek philosp. pher that, being observed going, about with ■a lantern nt noonday apparently seeking something, he was asked the object of his search. The ready-reply was, A man. This act of the eccentric philosopher'was, doubtless, symbolical and : designed to teach; an important, lesson. - In all - ages philosophers liave perceived that the ideal of. human nature was iostj ahd -they have searched earnestly for its recovery: with the 1 untern of humab reason. The search, it is needless to say, has been in vain I But the object of philosophy’s long and, fruit-; less search is found. Before the mind of every one who' sincerely searches the Scriptures there rises a -colossal figure, sublime in perfection and radiant in beauty. With rapture the discoverer ex-; claims, Eureka—I have found. • The;ideal of human:nature, lost I n ” the first man” and through long dreary ages the sUprrme object' of reason’s search,; is revealed in “ the seipond m an Did the Rom a n gov- ernor have a glimpse of this truth; when, pointing to the martyr . form of Jesus standing before-him Wearirig the crown of’ thorns and' the purple ;robe, he said, Be- hold the man ? Who can tell f But what- ever the thought In Pilate’s mind,.his ex- clamation has been' put on reeord by the spirit of in formation,1.that through the ages It might be an index-hand pointing .to the Ideal Man. The ideal of human nature Is-not, theri, an Idealized myth, but a real being of flesh' and blood—a being possessing all.tlie elements of manhood’in perfection without a.single human fault or failing., These conditions are all met in tlie personality of .the'man Christ Jesus. * ", . •;# - * ’ He stands before us in his physical, mental and moral. make-up. As !• such He is the ideal muri and must, forever remain the highest model within the reach of our thought. Nothing has been said as to the way in which Jesus; affects our legal rela- tions to God, nor of his presence in the heart as tlie hope and strength of the be- liever, for the text does riot call for the introduction of :these subjects, which' are fully discussed In other, sermons.; It only remains for us to consider: tlie resuite of a believing contemplation of ; the ideal man; First, it produces dissatisfaction with.our- selves, This may not seetu^ at the- first blush, to be an advantagOj but a little re- flection will show that .this state of mind Y'a Column,: FATIIEUS AND. BltoTlIEHS QUIT THE CIGAR. Joel Swartz, D.D., said : “ If I could tell as well why, I took to the cigar as I can tell why I quit, I should feel as much ashamed as 1 now do for having to con:: fess .that I ever polluted my life. and breath with H. ;The reason . why so -many are lost in the smoke of the battle is be- cause tliey have not thought themselves into clear conviction that is -a duty to quit. There are six solid reasons that should constrain you to forego the fragrant weed. First. It. Is .wasteful. Money, of which you have none to. spare, is a possible tal- ent for good. Why should you puff and; spit it away ? Why; it will be better, to wrap it in a napkin and bury- it, than.to whiff it into tlie thin air, or throw it, in solid or liquid form, into the cuspidor. Shame on such folly I Second.; You have found it unhealthful. It lias given you a trembling hand and a pale, greenish complexion—the color ap- proachirig a tobacco worm., In ,fact you are fast becoming a’ tobacco pickle,* for when you have not your cigar- and cannot get it, you are In a “ pickle”'indeed. .^Spme of your friends say that your disposition at such tlines.is decldedly acidulated: So give up the pickling process and quit.’ Third. You have discovered it is filthy. You have'tried hard to be a decent smoker, and suppose you have succeeded as well as tllte most fflatidlpus. But tobacco has an odor, and whatever may;, be thought of the “ fragrance of a gpod cigar,” all will agree that sttie smoke- saturating, clothes, books, papers, drapery of a room, etc:, is simply abominable. .■ Fourth. Your example is. bad arid cor- rupting; Why do boys- smoke ? Because they; see their elders smoke,: and; so to seem to be manly they try to do as they do. What a shame it is to lend one’s Influ- ence in encouragement of such a wasteful, filthy, unhealthy habit 1 Moreover, how can any one maintain his self-respect or the respect of the pure and good, and yet lend himself to such an indulgence? Fifth. But worse than all that Is thus far named is the loss of liberty. He who be- comes addicted to smoking becomes a slave to .ills cigar. All who have con- tracted the.habit and then have tried to throw it off know what an awful and im- perious mastery the:weed assumes!. 'How domineering is his master, and ,what a master a, cigar I Shame; on the coward si aye wh 0 wears the chains of a master who can whip and scourge him with such odious things I. Do you boast of freedom ? Take away your cIgar and see hosv weak, arid petulant and ..wretched you'are! What a degrad at ion and d ishono r for a rati on al, free beihg, to'sell out his God-given birth- right for such a mess of pottage—pottage made of tobacco leaves 1 ^ : Sixth. These things -being so, to smoke, is morally wrong; it is sinful. .To many this m iiy see in e xtre me. Can, you fee I i u- nocent arid carry about with ytiu and into the presence of God in prayer, ; 6r any- where else, a habit .that is all I havo said of it. Quit the cigar, and let nothlug tempt you to'resume the sliamefuli guilty habit. :: K-n. wering chord in every human heart, Carlyle, brilliant wrltor and grand thinker though he was, makea his adihirors groan ■ under the dyspepsia which colored life for him.

The beautiful soul, filled with the "charity which “ thlnketb no evil,” is clearly seen through the printed page.- He Is only one of many who will live and work for the Master, gathering into tho great Christian brotherhood, long after tho pen has dropped from the lifeless fingers.

Bcsiir.K, The Bsd of the Ocean, The poor child who bore such a grudge against Stanley for having covered the hitherto very simple map of Africa with a labyrinth of unpronounceable names will now he appalled at finding that even the oceans are. mapped out and other ranges of mountains are added to the earth’s sur- face. For the ninuouncement runs thus: The ocean Is now ull mapped out for us, and tho heretofore unknown depths of the sea may be studied with as little trouble as attends the stutiy of any other geographical topic. “ The report of the expedition sent out from Loudon for the purpose of ocean sur- veys has recently been published. Nearly four years were given to tho examination of the currents und tho floors of tho fpur great oceans. The Atlantic, we are told; if drained would be a vast plain with a . mountain range iu the middle running parallel with our coast. Another range crosses it from Newfoundland to Ireland,. on the top of which lies the submarine cable. The ocean i3 thus divided into' three great basins, no longer ‘uufath- omed depths.’ The tops of these sea mountains are two miles below a sailing ship, nnd the basing according to Reclus, almost five miles. These mountalus are whitened for thousands of miles by a tiny, creamy species of shell, lying as thickly on their sides as frost crystals on a snow bank. The deepest parts are red In color, heaped with .volcanic masses. Through the black, motionless waters of these abysses move gigantic abnormal creatures never seen , iri upper cur.reuts,’ — Golden \ Hate. . To be silent, to suffer, to pray, when there is no room for outward action, is an acceptable offering to God. A disappoint- ment, a contradiction, an Injury received and endured for God’s sake,*is of as much Value as a long, prayer,nnd time Is not lost which is spent in tlio practico of meekuess All the world knows and loves Frances' and patience. \ Oar Favorite Writers.

He who ventures into print must bo content to be known, for it is impossible to con- ceal his true Inwardness. Is he generous, nobie, teachable, modest, loving?

The Passover-yet exists with very much of-its original and Mosaic form amongst the people whose fathers were the agents of its inauguration; and it is likely that an institution yet in existence, dependent upon the obedience nnd fidelity of a nation, and partaking of a rigidly re liglous anti profoundly patriotic character, did begin exactly, as the record . states.

.■; Tlie rabbi of the synagogue and the : preacher o f the cross agree upon the orilg* . inai fact. The Spirit of inspiration gives / i t an overflying voice and an all-glorious

significance in the words that “ even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us." Let us Btudyr ■■■'■'■O':

1. The. ceremonial observance instituted by Moses.; “ PaaswjsjVV.. W e lcnow that reference Is here made to the institution wliich^JJoses formed under tlie Divine command. In viewing its origin we may regard, th e ,. observance’ as an act of obe- dlencQ. and religious worship to God; as the'divinely appointed means o! Israel’s safety and deliverance; as the memorial of that deliverance, the blrtliday of their liberty * and aa figurative and explanatory of the way of salvation, by faltb;:this lat­ter; view is the one taken by Paul in the text, and evidently t ^ phe put forth in the epistle to tlie Hebrews. In order that w;e may recognize, this figurative form of the institution, it will be necessary to call over and "remark upon the pTomlhent features of it. - \ \ ■■ ••' 1. There was a. victim selected—a lamb chosen from the flock, a male of the first year, without blemish. V

2. There wad the slaying of the lamb. This’victim was to.be slain publicly, after being set apart in silence for four days, and It was to be slain between the “two evenings” of the fourth day. :■

8 . There was tlie sprinkling of the blood. The blbod was* to be taken/in a'-basin, sprinkled' on the lintels and slri e posts of the door—sprlnkled with a bunch of hys-

'\:X : '.'U; : 4 .T here .was the j eatl n§ of the fl esb; it must be roasted with fire s n o t a bone of the lamb to be broken; the-flesh was to be eaten ’with '- baste, with; loins girded, feet shod, with bitter herbs and unleavened bread, : \ :'0‘. •

5. There were the blessings that follow; ed; deliverance from death, releasement from si avery,: and fi nal possession of Can­aan.; These .are the leading facts connect­ed wlth'that sublime institution which had Its origin on the night of Egypt’s greatest plague; an<J Israel’s »greatest mercy; night that, resembled the cloud of,. divine presence, afterward provided—all light and life io . Israel, but darkness and death to Egypt’s sons. This institution, however, points to something greater and grander. I t is but the shadow, we must find 'the sub* stance 5 the figure • and type; we must see the reality and antitype. This ceremonial must be absorbed in the fuller light and glory of the Spiritual ; for “ even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.” '

y IL The grand meaning. Paul inakes it signify: The PassoverifcseU was the sol. emu renewitt'af the patriarchal doqtrine of substitution. A e death .of Christ was the consummation T>f; that same . doctrine. Scripture Is fuwyof, tlie teaching, of the vicarious naturo of Christ’s death (see 53d ch. Isa.) Now, if the Passover and the death’ of Christ are the renewal and con­summation of- that Scriptural arid univer­

sal doctrine, we may expect to find tlie same phases In both. The loading feature must be the same, while the final expres­sion of the doctrine, must be complete in efficacy and unfailing in benediction. Let us here “ Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the.world,”] 1 We have a victim selected. God pro- vlded His own Lamb. Jesus is'pre-em­inently . “ God’s ; Lamb.’!. , Abraham saw, that lamb when he said, “ The Lord will •provide’Himself a lamb." Isaiah saw the lamb—“ H e is led as a lamb to the slaugh­ter.” ., John Baptist , cried; “ Behold the Lamb of God,” etc. And it was riot only that ,in His conduct the name and charac- ter. were one,, but in. His willingness to die. His sacrificial death made Him our “ Lamb of ' God;” He was taken from among His brethren, “ for He took' not hold of the nature of angels, but the seed of men.!’ He was taken in the prime of His life—scarce thirty years of age. He was without spot or blemish. lie, knew no siri ;,guHe was not found in his mouth.

2. We Jiuve alam b slain. “ The lamb that w.as.slain ” is the Scriptural mode of describing the meritorious work of Christ on earth and the mediatorial work of Christ.in heaven. He was slain , publicly. Crowds saw Him die. The city that had been the’scene of sacrifices from-the set­tlement of Israel in Canaan now became the platform : of the . final act of propitia­tion; and while surging thousands, like ebbing- and flowing tides, trooped through that city,; Jesus was led away and cruci­fied. He was slain between the two even­ings, from 3 to G o’clock. He had been well tried; and perfectly tested ere He died. Pour thousand years from the Fall in Eden to the Atonement on Calvary Four years-of Christ’s public ministry. Four days from His triumph to His death. Thus, tried by;God during tlie ages; tried by devils during\ His ministry; tried by tho;. representatives of the ceremonial, national and imperial law, yet no spot was found !n;£[im. Fiends found nothing in H im ; Pilate found no fault in Him ; God was well pleased .with H i m a n d froni His own lips there fell the mightiest chal­lenge tliat ever confronted men: “ Which of you conviriceth me of sin?*’ That silent, sweet, suitable victim, " Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us.”

I I I . W e hava our blood of sprinkling. By Christ “ the' fountain, was opened,” and we npw come to the blood of sprinkling. This blood is to be sprinkled Upon the heart, not cast under, foot .to be trampled upon and .despised; but it must be the sign of lifp, and the Bavin’g .mark of life stamped on the heart. I t must be applied by the act of faitli. The faith must be a living, clinging, absorbing, applying, marking principle. Like the liyssop, it must ab­sorb and then apply to ,the soul, y

,4. We. -have Our spiritual feast. The flesh was to be Toasted with fire, denoting the Be verity of our, Saviour’s sufferings. Not a bone of Christ’s was b’roken. .Christ must be received with haste, “ Behold, now is the. accepted time.? Hq must be received' with loins girded, <a readiness to do God’s will. He must be received with feet! shod, determination to be free. lie must be. received with the bitter herbs of godly sorrow, and with th e : unlea.vened bread of sincerity and truth.

5. We have the blessing that follow. Deliverance from death—spiritual and eternal. “ The gift df God is eternal life ;” with Christ itis.all “ puss over,” not “ pass I na f f l i c t i on passes over, not “ in.” Trials pass over and do • not strike* in. Death-passes over. Releasement from slavery. Jesus makes free indeed. “ ’Tis ‘freedom such: as : angei^ use and kindred to.the liberty of God.” Final possession of beaveri. Tlie. pass over becomes the “ pass honie." Jesus is our card o f intro­duction and our eternal friend. “The Lamb is the theme of heaven—“ Worthy is the Lamb?’ : ‘ ’:v . ;i.

Let the believer ; remember that his safety Is in the. blood of Christ, the “ signed life.” j “ Christ livetU ih me.” “ The life is in the blood,” not in virtues,;develop­ments, beauties, ideals' or negatives!j but “ the blood of Jesus Christ His Son clean- seth from all sin.” I call the unsaved to the Lamb of God; go not out .̂ leave not God’s house, pass not the lim it of this con- sec rated spot* the sacrifice is here ; stay, oh,‘8tay where you are, and get the appli­cation of His blood 1' I hear the beat of the angel’s wing and the wail of the dying beyond j death is out there v oh, stay I The Passover is here;; then save your soul and keep the feast.-r/fy#« Joseph Odell in ifet- ropolitan Putpit.

Elijah in tha Gave..In thiB cave Elijah lodged at teast one

night. “ The word of the Lord,” tho di* vine Logos, came to liim with the inquiry, “ What doest thou here, E lijah?” The question is best understood as an invita­tion to explain the hard necessity whicli impelled him to. seek that spot, arid of this his reply I b a frank, completb statement, arid riot the bitter, complaining defense Which many have found it. “ I have been very jealous,” he answered, “ for the Lord, the God of hosts,” .nnd this - had been Bhown in .his zeal againpt the prevalent idolatry,; they “ have forsaken thy cove­nant, thrown down thine altars; and slain thy prophets with the sword,” thus to their utmost extirpating the-cause of Jehovah from 'the land, and,” he went on,' “ I, even I. only, am left ” of the’ prophets, “ and they seek my life to take, it away.” This is what compelled his flight and brought him to those solitudes, •

God to' sliow him his glory, deslririg better to Un­derstand his nature and plans of grace; As God answered him- in symbol, so now he will, unasked-, in a similar way.' teach: the prophet. Thunder; lightnings and an eurthquako attended the giving of the iaw, but there was an afterpart of goodness and grace; so here, “ the Lord passed by,** and a strong, wind tore the; mountains and shivered the .cll(fs, an earthquake shook their granite masses to their; base, arid the fire streamed in the lightning’s blaze, but the Lord’was not in tiiem in the sense In which he was; in,the sound of gentle still­ness that followed as tlie soft breeze played among the peaks and crags. W hat is the lesson Intended ? That with all his terribleness Und hatred of wickedness, God is a God of goodness and mercy: Displaya of , power and force are some­times necessary to establish the truth, but the truth is of more icnportance than they God works miracles when he sees. it necessary, but he has; other; methods of punishing .wickedness, and .his ordinary way of overcoming evil Is . through the working of his providence, the silent op oration of, ills truths and trie power 0 t his Spirit. The wind and earthquake and fire alarmed, but to the-soothing of the gentle sound the prophet could,listen and trust. He recognizes the presence of God.—Dr. Whcdon in Northern Christian- Advocate.

The Pure in Heart.

hitri,. I f it be a matter of vital importance for the safety of . iife and property: that the lighthouse should have the utmost care and attention, how much more important that the Clulstlan’s light should burn with a bright and steady lustre, amid the sur­rounding darkness, And If-you are care­ful to be pure in heart, you need no other care to give light. The pure heart shines without any effort on its. part; I t shines brilliantly and beautifully. I f your purity is paled by one. element of impurity in your character, the, effectJs like the light­house with one pane of glass broken, and tin put in its place. This happened to a lighthouse a few years ago on the coast of Florida.. A light of glass .was broken in the evening. The wind was . rising and blew out the lamp. The keeper put a sheet of tin in place of the broken pane and the light burned, sending forth its: rays’ in every way but where the tin was. -There was a shadow and fbis shadow’grew wider as it stretched outover the waste of waters, and vessels and lives were, lost’that night in that shadow. In the shadows of our impurities souls are' lost.

Purity of heart Is the; window through which God shines into Souls, so that we see him there. Purities of heart are'also the eyes through which we see God. With purity of heart we -see Him in everything, and know that all,things work together for good to them that love Him, and our hope becomes an anchor .to the. soul both sure and steadfast, and that eritereth Within the .veil, whither is gone for .us even; Jesus, our forerunner, as we Bhull see Him in bis beauty.

passion is kindled in the heart to possess this ideal. Those who are constantly look- ing unto JesUs learn to love. Him with a paramount love. Their desire is: “ I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy like­ness,” This ideal baa a plastic power. I t is a Well-known law of our iaeing that the objects looked, upon with admiration, such as a statue, picture, scene, etc.* mould us into the same image. “ We all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory, of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the spirit of the Lord.”

I t is related of a certain Greek philosp. pher that, being observed going, about with ■a lantern nt noonday apparently seeking something, he was asked the object of his search. The ready-reply was, A man. This act of the eccentric philosopher'was, doubtless, symbolical and : designed to teach; an important, lesson. - In all - ages philosophers liave perceived that the ideal of. human nature was iostj ahd -they have searched earnestly for its recovery: with the 1 untern of humab reason. The search, it is needless to say, has been in vain I But the object of philosophy’s long and, fruit-; less search is found. Before the mind of every one who' sincerely searches the Scriptures there rises a - colossal figure, sublime in perfection and radiant in beauty. With rapture the discoverer ex-; claims, Eureka—I have found. • The; ideal of hum an: nature, lost I n ” the first man” and through long dreary ages the sUprrme object' of reason’s search,; is revealed in “ the sei pond m a n D id the Rom a n gov­ernor have a glimpse of this truth; when, pointing to the martyr . form of Jesus standing before-him Wearirig the crown of’ thorns and' the purple ;robe, he said, Be­hold the man ?

Y'a Column,:FATIIEUS AND. BltoTlIEHS QUIT THE CIGAR.

Joel Swartz, D.D., said : “ If I could tell as well why, I took to the cigar as I can tell why I quit, I should feel as much ashamed as 1 now do for having to con:: fess .that I ever polluted my life . and breath with H. ;The reason . why so -many are lost in the smoke of the battle is be­cause tliey have not thought themselves into clear conviction that is -a duty to quit.

There are six solid reasons that should constrain you to forego the fragrant weed.

First. It. Is .wasteful. Money, of which you have none to. spare, is a possible tal­ent for good. Why should you puff and; spit it away ? Why; it will be better, to wrap it in a napkin and bury- it, than.to whiff it into tlie thin air, or throw it, in solid or liquid form, into the cuspidor. Shame on such folly I

Second.; You have found it unhealthful. I t lias given you a trembling hand and a pale, greenish complexion—the color ap- proachirig a tobacco worm., In , fact you are fast becoming a’ tobacco pickle,* for when you have not your cigar- and cannot get it, you are In a “ pickle”'indeed. .^Spme of your friends say that your disposition at such tlines.is decldedly acidulated: So give up the pickling process and quit.’

Third. You have discovered it is filthy. You have'tried hard to be a decent smoker, and suppose you have succeeded as well as tllte most fflatidlpus. But tobacco has an odor, and whatever may;, be thought of the “ fragrance of a gpod cigar,” all will agree that sttie smoke- saturating, clothes, books, papers, drapery of a room, etc:, is simply abominable. .■

Fourth. Your example is . bad arid cor­rupting; Why do boys- smoke ? Because they; see their elders smoke,: and; so to seem to be manly they try to do as they do. What a shame it is to lend one’s Influ­ence in encouragement of such a wasteful, filthy, unhealthy habit 1 Moreover, how can any one maintain his self-respect or the respect of the pure and good, and yet lend himself to such an indulgence?

Fifth. But worse than all that Is thus far named is the loss of liberty. He who be­comes addicted to smoking becomes a slave to .ills cigar. All who have con­tracted the.habit and then have tried to throw it off know what an awful and im­perious mastery th e : weed assumes!. 'How domineering is his master, and ,what a master a, cigar I Shame; on the coward si aye wh 0 wears the chains of a master who can whip and scourge him with such odious things I. Do you boast o f freedom ? Take away your cIgar and see hosv weak, arid petulant and ..wretched you'are! What a d egrad at ion and d ishono r for a rati on al, free beihg, to'sell out his God-given birth­right for such a mess of pottage—pottage made of tobacco leaves 1 ̂ :

Sixth. These things - being so, to smoke, is morally wrong; it is sinful. .To many this m iiy see in e x tre me. ■ ■ Can, you fee I i u- nocent arid carry about with ytiu and into the presence of God in prayer, ;6r any­where else, a habit .that is all I havo said of it. Quit the cigar, and let nothlug tempt you to'resume the sliamefuli guilty habit.

The ocean Is now ull mapped out for us, and tho heretofore unknown depths of the sea may be studied with as little trouble as attends the stutiy of any other geographical topic.

“ The report of the expedition sent out from Loudon for the purpose of ocean su r­veys has recently been published. Nearly four years were given to tho examination of the currents und tho floors of tho fpur great oceans. The Atlantic, we are told; if drained would be a vast plain with a . mountain range iu the middle running parallel with our coast. Another range crosses it from Newfoundland to Ireland,. on the top of which lies the submarine cable. The ocean i3 thus divided into ' three great basins, no longer ‘uufath­omed depths.’ The tops of these sea mountains are two miles below a sailing ship, nnd the basing according to Reclus, almost five miles. These mountalus are whitened for thousands of miles by a tiny, creamy species of shell, lying as thickly on their sides as frost crystals on a snow bank. The deepest parts are red In color, heaped with .volcanic masses. Through the black, motionless waters of these abysses move gigantic abnormal creatures never seen , iri upper cur.reuts,’ — Golden \ Hate. .

To be silent, to suffer, to pray, when there is no room for outward action, is an acceptable offering to God. A disappoint­ment, a contradiction, an Injury received and endured for God’s sake,*is of as much Value as a long, prayer,nnd time Is not lost which is spent in tlio practico of meekuess

A deputation of tho Salvation Army attended tho obsequies of tho late Rev. Jam es Caughey, in Now Brunswick, last Tuesday. Ills name was. held in great veneration by every, Salvationist who had become acquainted wjtli the fact that it was at one of his revival meetings in i lull, England, tha t‘the present ..General, Wm Booth, obtained the blessing of entire sanctification. When the Genoral was in this country a few years ago he visited Mr. Caughey nt the homo of the latter, and the two old lioio *s of m >re than a hundred battles in tho army of tho boril had a good season together in prayer and praise.

Wo aro glad to learn of constant growth in all the many and varied departments of Chantauquaj ono of tho greatest educa tional agencies in our land. The. Chau­tauqua Correspondence School of Short­hand is one of the most valuable features of this vast educational work. We learn that within a few weeks pupils.have en­rolled ' from many States and territories, dlstanco from the main oillce being no bar to good-work aud great, success. Our old*

. time friend, Prof. W. D. Bridge, at the. head, of •this school', cau be addressed at Drawer JIM,. Buffalo, N. Y., or tempo­rarily at Brookfield, Mass.

A Noted Evangelist Gono.Gone to heaven evidently. • There was

no other place possible for such an apostle of saving truth and exemplar of holiness as James Caughey. Forty-five years ago ho was in the zenith os his power and success in the work God laid upon lils heart aud for which ho was specially en dued with “ power from on high.” Thou sands under his Incisive preaching and mighty prayers* Were brought to repent­ance aud a godly life. “ Part of the host have crossed the flood,” and many are still living whose religious career began finder tho influence of his great revlyal sermons.

We lmve tho impression that ho wa& bom in Ireland, and while yet a youth emigrated to Canada. He entered the Methodist itineracy after duo preparation, but in a few' yenrs abandoned tho regular routine work and consecrated himself to tho special line of evangelism. lie wrote a number of stirring volumes, some of which were autobiographical, describing his rovival campaigns Iu England and Ire­land, which countriesv lie visited moro than once, prompted as lie believed by the call of God. The titles of his bopks, as far as we can remomber nt the moinent, are “ Methodism in Earnest,” “ Revival Miscellanies,” “Arrows from My Quiver,” “ Knee Work,” &c., aud tho perusal of his printed sermons and appeals to tho uncon verted wero attended withalino9t thesatno quickening, spiritual power, his hearors felt as they sat uuder his ministry. At times he seemed to bo clothed with that old prophetic fervor aud courage which exclaimed “ Thou art the man.”

Until he had passed the meridian of life ho lived a bachelor, aud his habits were more or less eccentric when out of the pulpit. Realizing that his. health and strength wero failing he married an Eng­lish lady and settled down In a (pleasant homo In New HrunswIck,N. J .,’whore for more than twenty years his lifo has been In a great measure secluded; but his con­nection with the First M. E. Church in that city, it is declared, has been a con­stant benedlctlou.

The preachers of the New Jersey An­nual Conference brought his name forward for readmisslon, and his last years were spent on the roll of that body as a super- anuated preacher. . The decline of his physical'strength, was gradual; uutil last week. On Tuesday, Jan. 27, he was out

Kingsley at tho piano, and Dr. Stokes, taking a suggestion from one of tho Scripture passages that had been road,“ Tho. flower fadeth,” delivered the ad­dress, which wo print In full. Tho ser- vices wero concluded by Miss Meeker, a dear and lntlmnto. friend of tho deceased, singing, under deep emotion, the hymn:

Ono sweetly solemn thought comes to me o’or aud o'er.

I'm nearer homo to-day than I ever bavo been befote;

Nearer my Fathet'e house, wbero the many man­sions be.

Nearer tbogreat white throne; nearor tbo crystal sea."

After tho bonedlcthm pronounced by Rev. A. Wallace, the young lady school mates of the deceased from New York, with their principal, Miss Day, and from Asbury Park, all with tearful eyes, passed by tho casket containing the remains of this bright and beautiful girl, which wero then conveyed to Mt. Prospect Cemetery, and the commitment service was read by Rev. II. Belting.

Ills death wa3’ referred to In tho la st Sunday afternoon exporionco meeting at Ocean Grovo by the leader, Dr. Stokes, when about a dozen of those present, fol­lowing the testimony of Rov. F. H. Purdy, referred to his blessed labors, and tho good he had been permitted to accomplish.

The St. Paul’s Preachers’ Meeting on Monday appointed Messrs. Dr. Stokes, A. E. Ballard and H. Belting a committee to attend the funeral* which w03 held on Tuesday afternoon lu New Brunswick. Tho ministers present were Dr. Stokes, Pastor’Reed, Revs. G. Hughes, G. C. Mud- dock, Wm. B. Osbornt A. McLean, of New York, E. I. D. Pepper, editor of the Chris­tian Standard, Bro. Reed, of St. James, J. R. Vanklrk and W. P. Strickland, all of whom took part In the memorial services. The addresses delivered by Dr. Stokes and several of the above, unfolded the rare ex­cellencies of his character and his deep devotloual spirit. He walked With God arid was not, for God took him.

A Seen Bereavement.The sudden death In New York on last

Sunday morning of Mfss Helen M. Potts, daughter of Mr.and Mrs. George II. Potts, residing at Ocean Grove, when the event was aunounced in Monday morning’s pa­pers, with ull the attendant circumstances, filled the entire community with deepest surprise aud sorrow. “ Mamie,” as sho was familiarly called by her largo circle of associates here, was universally bo- loved. The sad fact that sho died, as was supposed, from an overdose of medicine, gave a painful sensational character to her untimely end. She was a student at tho Comstock Institute, Now York, finishing her education, and had been well and cheerful up to last Saturday evening. Dur­ing that day her mother visiting Now York had a pleasant interview with her,, which she had no idea would bo tlio last. Her remains were brought to tho Grovo on Monday, and Mr. Potts being from homo was telegraphed for and hastened to his iiqw desolate homo, dazed with tho sud deuuess of this unexpected calamity.

The funeral was held at 2.30 r . M. on Wednesday, when tho cottage on Wesley Luke Terraco was crowded in overy part by the friends of the family and tho young people of Oceau Grove, among whom the deceased was such a geuernl favorite. Rev. II. Belting, pastor of St. Paul’s, conducted tlio solemn and impressive services, read­ing appropriate selections of Sculpture, ottering prayer and preaching a b r ie f , tender arid eloquent discourse from Psalm Cl: 2, “ From the end of tho earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart: is over­whelmed; lead mo to. tho rock that Is higher tluihl.*’ • ' .* “ The liyinu “ Rock of Ages” was sung

by the young ladies of tlio choir of which Miss Potts was a member, with MissJosio

How we feel this truth! Tlio flowers all fade. Not one of all the bright fam­ily, whether it smiles iu the valley, or blooms on tho mountain; whether it rejoices by the river, or expands In tho forest, whether nourished by the hand of poverty, or gracing the granduor of palace halls, but is short-lived, frail and perish ing. Sad that -things so beautiful should be so briof, and yet, perhaps, because so brief, thoy are so beautiful.

Flowers have their mission—to Inspire exalted sentiments, to call forth admira­tion for the boautlful, to awaken love.

How much the flowers aro like many lives—brief, but beautiful. The flower of this household Is blighted—blighted by the winds untimely blast, bitten by tho cold,- black frosts of death, and Its fra­grance gone! Tho autumn of its brief life arrived, almost before its spring was fairly full. .October, November in May How It shocks us to find in ouv fragrant walk, through the garden pathways, blasted rose in early June. We look for buds, und blossoms, aud unfolding beauty on every hand. A June frost and a June death Is a blight upon our summer joys It Is so in the family. .

“ Tlio moraine flowers.display their sweets,And pay thoir silken leaves unfold ; ,

As careless of the noontide heats,As fearless of the evening cold."

Yet, In the family, even tho best pro­tected, the most fondly nourished, and sheltered, by tbe tendere9t love, even here, the sweetest, and most fragrant rose, may be

“ Nipped by the winds untimely hlast, Parched by tbo sun's director ray,

Tho momentary glories wasto.And short-lived boautlos dlo away.”

So hero, in this well sheltered, love protected, family garden, the brightest, sweetest, most fragrant, almost tho only flower, Is blasted almost as soon as blown.

Js Ood good? Hush tho almost Impious question. Is that lady, who is to have a marriage festival at her home good, when in order to grace that festival properly, goes into her own garden and plucks the fairest flower 1 There Is a festival in heaven. Earth’s gardens must supply the flowers. Your home, my friends, Is the garden from which the most beautiful selection Is made.

I know you will weep, unle.ss your grief is too deep for tears—well, weep on, tears aro the channels through which our grief is soothed. Jesus wept and you may aUo weep. But, what if our fair'and loved.aud lost be but transplanted, und is now bloom­ing where frosts never blight—

“ In tho otornal summer land of song ?"Oh .what joy, in such a thought? Oh

the inspiration, that we may go there, too. David said, “ He shall not return to me but I shall go to him.” H er mother, who watched as no other could her. unfolding life, saw, since her illness last summer, and tho death of a dear friend, the devel­opment of a higher spiritual lifo, and a richer manifestation of Chrlstly virtues. The daughter ssys, “ Mamma, havon’t you soenfortho past few months, that I am trying to live close to God ? I feel for the first time in my life, that I have a per- sonal religion, and It adds . to . my happi­ness.” At school she was loved and lov ing; at homo, almost adored. So lot us hope, and trust and believe, that in the secret ways of God she W’as being pre­pared, and her Wings'wore plumiug for her triumphant flight to heaven.' Thither, my dear friends, father, mother, brother,, let mo with sympathetic love, point you to-day, I know what it is to bo thus bereft. One as fair to me, as yours to you, aud the only onci was taken.

Jesus alone.can heal, he alone can help Look to him with the belief, that be who wounds, can not only lieal, but emnfprt in t'ie healing.

Let. the’ young pooplo to day, take this thought, among tho last that Mary uttered, “ 1 am trying to llyo close to God and it adds fo my happiness.” This is true, always, everywhere, and In all cases. Your surest way to -present aud eternal happiness is to live near to'Gou. Every othor course will bo a present, future, aud eternal failure. Therefore, young, old, all, live near to God. .

Preaohera' Meeting.The preaohera’ meeting .listened to an

interesting paper by Bro. Snyder on tho demands of the liquor men and gamblers for favorable legislation. After which tlio meeting discussed at somo length tho memorial which Bro. Snyder had beon commissioned to draft, expressing the pro tost of this meeting against any legisla­tion in tlie Interest of liquor men and gamblers, especially against tho changes in existing laws which such men have de­manded. Copies, bearing the ofllclal sig­nature of tho president and secretary, wero ordered sent to our senator and rep­resentative.

The meoting also ordered the secretary to communicate with tho pastors of the district, requesting thom to follow tho suggestions of tho Camden preachers’ meeting, also suggesting that it be pre­sented to the congregation and that thoir formal protest be sent, and that the num­ber of voters in each caso be stated. We should make our representatives feel that tho best of thoir constituents aro not in­different to their action, but stand ready to support them iu opposing the baser elements in their demands for Sunday whiskey and freo gambling.

The meoting appointed Dr. Stokes and Mr. Belting a committee© to represent tho meeting at the funeral of Bro. Caughey.

Bros. Bolting and Davis roported con­tinued rovival interest in their ohurcbes, Dr. Sampson will present his paper on heredity next week.

A Word from Florida.I t may help to soften and allevluto the

discomforts of our “ cold wave” the pres- ont week to read a few lines from Dr. Alday, written on an open veranda at Arlington, Jan. 21), and addressed to Dr. Stokes, as follows: .

“ What a morning! Wonderful for pu­rity, clearness, salubrity hnd vigor; every­thing beautiful; all nature in quiet seren­ity ; blrtls singing, tho south wind bring­ing its balmy air, refreshing, soothing and invigorating, fllllug the soul with the breath of praise und lading the lips with hallelujahs. So lam situated and affected this morning, as .1 sit on the voranda with the boautlful and placid river rolling oceanward. 1 feel so full of grateful praise that there Is only one drawback to my completeness of happiness, and that is the absence of my friends. How I would love to have you with mo. Indeed, your absence is no small decimation of my joy. We arrived here on Saturday, J an, 24. The weather is simply superb. Thermometer as I write is 69°. Wo are all well, a ll ex­cept myself aro out walking. Wife and I visited Egleston yesterday. It is self-evi­dent that the place and its interests have suffered a great loss Which will for a time be irroparublo through the death of Mrs. Bateman.”

Wo aro pleased to know that this fluo establish­ment will pass into tho care of Mrs. Rev. T. B. Hunter as tenant on a .five year’s loaEo. Among tho number of applicants and Inquirers, whoso attention has been drawn to the.” New Philadelphia,” Mrs Hunter was first and is accepted. 8ho has spout two or three.seasons at tho G rov arid has already earned the roputatiou of being a most-poll to. aud popular hostess.

From Baltimore.This city has recently been visited by

somo prominent Christian workers. For a whole week Chaplain McCabo stirred up the churches in nearly all sections of tho city, on the subject of missions in his eloquent and. ontortalalng style. Ho de­lighted his audiences on all occasions. Several “elect” sisters havo boon among tho visitors hero during tho past few weeks. Sister Llzzlo Boyd, tho evangelist, most successfully assisted Pastor Greon at tho Independent MethodIb̂ Chapel on Madison street, In a gracious revival dur­ing two weeks. T he. 'membership was most wondrously Btirred under tho incisive proachiug of full salvation. About forty persons wore happily converted and a number sauctifled.

Mrs. Elizabeth Greenwood, president of tho W. C. T. U. of Brooklyn, most thrill- lugly entertained and charmed large con­gregations among various denominations In several of the large and most fashion- oble churches^up town by her addresses, her Bible readings, and her sermons. Brown Memorial. Presbyterian Church, Emanual Episcopal Church, Mount Ver­non Place Methodist Church nnd St. Peter’a Protestant Episcopal Churches wore the places of her untiring labors for two weeks. The congregations wore crowded on every occasion, nnd tho pooplo were charmed with her fervor and hor eloquence on the Scriptural truths presented.

Successful rovivals of religion have-been held in quite a numbor of our Methodist Churches here. Rev. C. O. Isaacs, at Ben­nett Memorial Church, ran a week’s moet- Ing.on the line of Christian holiness, be­ing assisted by some of his Baltimore brethren^ nnd the results have been mar­velous. So many heads of families have beeu awakened and converted, and a good­ly number.among his membership sancti­fied. Bro. Isaacs has been most joyfully surprised at these blessed results that he intends to continue his work on the line of full sulvatlon according 'to Mr. Wesley'8 recomriiendation. .

Death has made its inroads amongsome of our older Methodist.people this winter, espc-cially among the ranks of Our most useful and valued sisters. But a few weeks since Mrs. Eliza Hamilton, about 72 years of age, beloved treasurer of the Womon’s Foreign Misslonury Society of Baltimore, passed to her heavenly reward. Miss Eliza Berry, about 80 years, sister of Gen. John S. Berry, a most active Chris­tian worker and benefactor in many char- itable Institutions, also a member of the managers of the Home of Aged Metho­dists, died In triumph. Mrs. Ellen Mun- roe, 82 years old, and active manager of tho Aged Methodist, went to her heavenly home a week ago. A now the death of Miss Christie Wall, a valued and useful member of Strawbrldgo M. E. Church, took place Sunday, Feb. 1. She was 50 yeors old and for many years superintend­ent of the infant Sunday-school, a man­ager of tho Home for tho Aged and a de­voted Christian worker.

The session of our Baltimore Conference Is approaching. In about one month hence Dr. Luther B. Wison, for 5 years tho beloved pastor of Strawbridge, who preached so fervently* at Ocean Grove camp-meeting last summer, will now havo to move. The Baltimore Conference of. tho M. E. Church South meets n week later at Roanake, Ya.’ A modest, unas- suming yOung member of this Conference* fills the pulpit of a small up-town church but is not much known, yet ho is one of the finest pulpit orators In tho city accord­ing to the opinion of somo of his hearers, lie is almost a second Thomas Guard, not so elaborate or lengthy, yet In his delivery he surpasses Mr. Guard. His elocution Is perfect; his utterances soft, sweet and harmonious. A perfect charm to sit and listen to this meek aud spiritually-minded young man without a note before him. Ho is a son of a Methodist preacher, a grand­son of another veteran long since passed away. How Ocean Grove would be blest to havo him at its qamp-meetlng. Any pulpit in tho land will, be fortunate to get him, as his torm here expires:

Washington Letter.Washington, t). C.,’Jnn. 28,1891.

Tho present situation in Congress gives a bit of encouragement for those interest­ed in moral reform legislation to hopo that after all something may be accom­plished at this session, provided the bone of political contention which is now np- parently out of the wny, will be allowed to stay out of tho way.

Tho W. C. T. U. never tires in tho good work. This weeK its members succeeded in prevailing upon the police authorities to slezo a lot o f . indecent lithographs and posters used to advertise a theatrical com­pany. Tho ladio? should keep this up, ns there have been few weeks for a long time that pictures of this class have not been posted in the most conspicuous places that could possibly be found for them, that were lewd enough to bring a bluBh to the face of overy lady compelled to pass thom.

Recontly I had occasion to express my belief that the statement made by a mem- her of Congress afllrming that more wine was consumed In Washington than in any other city o f. its population was correct. This week I accidentally saw the follow­ing paragraph in a letter, giving the per­sonal exporionco of a Now York lady, which I quote as further proof on the sub­ject: “ I t is tho custom in this town to serve punch at all afternoon teas, nnd even tho unpretending at 'home days. Mrs. B. givos you rum punch, Mrs. X. has clared cup, Mrs. W. chainpngno cocktail in a glass bowl with -a big ladle beside it. Dear me. When you get through nt Mrs. W.’s you don’t pay much attention as to what sort of beverage is to be found at tho next hospitable mansion but you drink it all the same. I t is bound to have rum in it. Everything has ruin In it, oven the tea. Yes, indeed. One lovely ludy I know makes a specialty or “ rum tea.” I t consists of half a cup of hot tea with aufil- cient Santa Cruz to AH up the receptacle. I t doesn’t taste vory strong when you drink it, but it tastes strong afterwards. I as- suro you that a round of tens in Washing­ton means as many glasses of punch (is the visiting cards you leave, and never ha3 such a variety of this particular concoction been, seen anywhere on the face of the earth—red punch, white punch, amber punch, green punch and pink punch.” comments are superfluous. The disgrace- ful story Is fully set forth.

Reagan, of South Bos­ton, Mass., in recognition of his bravery and skill in saving Theodore Westman from drownlg in Boston harbor on the last 4th of July. Nearly all civilized countries encourage bravo men In the saving of hu­man lives by giving honorary decorations

. of some kind to the savers, but what about the savers of souls?

To-morrow a delegation of Sioux In­dians will arrive here to tell Secretary Noble their side of the recent troubles.

The virtues, the example and tho life- work of the late George Bancroft formed tho subject of Rev. Dr. Bartlett’s sermon last Sunday evening, his text being Job. 5:10, “ Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full, ago, like a shock of corn cometh In his season.” Dr. Bartlett did full justice to his subject, and among other striking oratorical etchings wns this one: “ He stands for many as American history. He did many things during his life, but that Is what he was. If a great sculptor should undertake to represent American history* ho would carve the figure of Bancroft. He had been a politician at times; he hud spoken when Lincoln's remains wero re­ceived at New York, and had delivered the address on Lincoln before the two Houses of Congress, but we do not asso­ciate him with politics or any othor form of literature; he is to us, statuesque and severe, American history.”

I t is a curious coincidence that two emi­nent visiting clergymen of different de­nominations and preacning In different churches should within a fow weeks of each other have selected the samo text— “ All things work together for good to them that love God”—from which to preach powerful sermons.

Rev. F. J . Newton, who has been a mis­sionary in India for twenty years, has been to lling Washington congregations some­thing of his interesting work in that coun­try.

Rev. M. J . Savage, of Boston, delivered a very interesting lecture hero Monday

. ovening, his theme being “ Make the most of yourselves.” It would be difllcult to se- lect a subject which, In the hands of a man of abllityj as Dr. Savago is, could bo brought home In so many strik ing . in­stances to all classes of his hearers. Tho title also carries a Buggostiveuess that sticks in one’s mind.after tho speaker has finished his talk. IIow many of us do make the most of ourselves in everv re­spect? I fear that too many of us do in a narrow solfish way that is far more hurt­ful than helpful to us, either in this world o rju the future.

Nearly every large drygoods store now has a boy's clothing department; where many m oth­ers shop with the impression that it is an economy. These houses buy all their c lo th ing ; we make all of o u rs; they offer a meagre variety while we dis­play a room full.

If the reader cares to try an experiment why not make a selection from us and take it into some of th^,departm ent stores for comparison of goods and prices.

W e would be quite agree­able and our goods may be re­turned if not satisfactory. In fact tha t is the standing rule of th e house.

Any Article that has out­lived 22 years of competi­tion and imitation, and sells more and more each year, must have merit. Dobbins’ Electric Soap, first made in 1869, is ju st that article. Those who use it each week (and their name is legion,) save clothes and strength, and let soap, do the work. All that we can say as to its merits, pales into nothing­ness, before the story it will tell, itself, of its own perfect purity and quality, if you will give it one trial. Ask your grocer for it. He has it, or will get it. Try it next Monday.N t > u There ate many imitation Electric
