" “But we all, with open face, beholding as in a glass, the glory of God, Ore changed into mine image, from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord. -2 Cor. 3 : 18.

Perfection m arks the w orks of God illustra ted th roughou t the en tire king-- donv o f natu re . W hen the conditions are m et, there exists ne ither deficiency nor redundancy. Perfection a ttained hy degrees—so in ’ natu re , in providence, in redem ption , in grace.

T he object o f the vision—“ T he glory of G o d ” Of th a t glory we know n o th ­ing, only so far as it is revealed to .us.in Christ Jesus'. In creation, th ere is revealed the pow er and wisdom o f the Godhead, H e bus raised its m oun­ta in^ in m ajesty, spread ou t its valleys in Jueauty, and cu rta ined it w itli the grandeur of the sides.. I l rem ained, how ever, for Christ to exhibit the p ecu lia r glory o f God. H e is the brightness of the. E a th c r’s ■■glory. T he m ost acu te reasoning and the m ost thorough investigations have u tterly failed to reveal th a t glory. T he deeper m en have delved in the m ine of n a tu re the farther have they seem ed to get away from God. I t is a sad and painful fact th a t m any o f the m ost em inent; scientists have been m ost skeptical in regard to th e tru ths of divine revelation. This arises, n o t froni any antagonism between, science and revelation, bu t because m en are inclined to depend upon the power and acuteness of tlie ir own in te llec ts ,ra th er than , u p o n divine' aid.- “ T lie.tilings of tlvo sp irit are spir­itually d iscerned.” ,

There, was a glory am ong form er dis­pensations. T h e re was a ;glory iii the* new creation as it .bounded fresh and bloom ing froni. the h an d of the C reator. There, was a glory faintly revealed in the early prom ise m ade to our first.

paren ts , w hich continued to grow b rig h te r and b righ ter th rough succes­sive, generations as m ade to patria rchs and prophets, un til it cu lm inated in the in carn a ted Deity. C hrist Jesus did n o t create this glory, he sim ply de­veloped w hat previously existed; as the

■ sun i n . its ascending course does not c reate objects, b u t renders existing ob­jects visible.

In yon bud lies concealed the flower, and the bloom , and the fragrance, and th e fruit, w hich require b u t tlie soft show ers and the w arm sun to develop th em ; and ju s t so, C hrist unv.eils to us God. H ere , and here only, the whole D eity is know n. Out of Christ, God is a .m y ste ry ; b u t in the life and death of the R edeem er w hat transcenden t bright­ness sh ines forth ; particu larly does he reveal to us .the fact th a t God is love. O ut of Christ, God is a consum ing fire, a despot, a ty ran t—ruling with art a rb i­tra ry will—and m an - is seen w andering th rough this world a lone orphan , w ith­o u t pity-and w ithout care. B ut as seen in C hrist lie appears as the tender, gentle, loving parent,’ com m iserating h u m an woe and m itigating h u m an sor-

■• row.How beautiful and significant the

figure, “ a i in . a glass.” -As a m irror,. when placed in the-ligh t of the glorious '.lum inary of day, giyes a..re(leeiion full and d istinc t of the im age of the sun ; so ,' C hrist is represented as giving the light of the know ledge of the glory of God. We could no t look upon the effulgence of th a t glory and li ve. H ere it is exhibited as in a glass In this m irro r, W h ich , as, a lens, collects the scattered rays , of d iv in ity an d brings them to ,a focal b u rn ing , point; w hat We never o th er­wise could liaveconceivedof the sublinie, fact th a t God is love.

T he expression, ‘with open face,” indicates clearly the distinctness o f the vision.:- C hrist was.Veiled- to 'flio Jew s; nevertheless, when they s h a ll 'tu rn , to tlie Lord, the;veil shall be removed. A t conversion the veil is rem oved,,and then it is with open face, etc. To the unrenew ed, Christ is as a root ou t of dry ground ; b in to the regenerate who look upon him free from the m ists of error and sin, he .is tlie essence of beauty, th e archetype of perfection.

T he expression, “ wo all,” indicates the uni versality of the vision. A m ong th e Jews the view was exclusive; bu t u n d er the gospel, perfect equality reigns. N o ;o n e cab appropria te its benefits to th e inj.ury or exclusion o f others.

T he effects o f the vision “ are changed iii to the sam e im age, from glory to glory, , H ere is m an ifested -the power

• o f the law of, association,. .W hatever' engages oiir a tte n tio n m akes its im ­

pression upon our character. D evoted to Christ, we becom e Christ-like. W hile we are beholding, we becom e assim i­lated to Christ. We. have here the idea of progression. Changed “ from glory to .g lory ,” in to the sam e im age.of sincerity , p u rity , and.love.

T here is a glory of the spring w hen natu re , w aking from h e r w intry sleep, throws off h e r m an tle o f snow and ice, and invests herse lf in hab ilim ents of v.erdure. T he glory of th e spring is changed in to the glory of the summer-, when, tlie soft ra ins and the w arm sun develop bud and blossom, and frag ran ce and fru itage; and there is ' the still g reater glory of tlie au tum n, when the na tu ra l fruits’,of the earth are harvested and gathered for the use of m an and beast. ■ . ■ •'

A nd so tliere is a glory in the experi­ence of the: young convert when lie first becom es.a new creature in Christ Jesus. T here,is a g rea ter glory w hen lie is in ­troduced in to the ful hi ess of the bless­ing of th e gospel of Christ, and feels that, the blood Of Jesus Christ cleanseth him from all sin. B ut. tliere is a g reater glory, when em ancipated -fro.n-i earth lie finds h im se lf an inhab itan t of heaven, in. the presence of the gloVilied lie-, (loonier, ai'.d. in jli ir com;>au\ '.of :the jo- deem cd. And who Can tell w hat new.

Tlie agency by whicli this will, be effected is designated the “ 'Spirit of the L ord .”- T he developing and m aturing: of glory, not by natu ra l generation ,,no t by the force of the hum an will, not by a process of teaching, but by the S p irit of the Lord. And this process of m oral aiid sp iritual transform ation progresses only as we continue to look upon Christ. ' ' ■ ’ '

Rest and Be Thankful.T here is a pass in Scotland called

Glencoe,-, which supplies a. beautiful illu stra tion of what. lieaVen will be to the in a n who comes to Christ. The road through Glencoe carries tlie trav­eler up a long and steep ascent with, m any a winding, and m any a liule. turn op its course. But-w hen the top of the pass: is reached, a stone is seen by tlie wayside, with these sim ple words on graven on i t : 7lest awl tie t/mnkfttl

.Reader, these . words describe the feelings with w hich', everyone who comes to. C hrist will a t length en ter heaven. T he Sum m it of. the narrovi'- Way will.be won. W e shall e.ease from our w eary -jo u rn ey in g , and sit ..down in th e kingdom of God. W e shall look" back over a lb th e way of life with thank-

! fulness, and see "the perfect wisdom o f

every little w inding and. tu r i r in ' the . steep ascent by w hich we were led. W e shall forget the toils of the upw ard journey, to th e glorious rest. H ere in this w orld o u r sense of rest in Christ, a t the best, is feeble and p a rtia l, “ B u t when th a t w hich is perfect is come, then th a t which is in p a r t shall be done aw ay.” T hanks be un to God, a day is ■coming when believers shall rest p er­fectly and be tlm n k fu f—jtev: J.

W e have here reached the crow ning-sum ­m it of the season, and though som ew hat w earied w ith the toil, tu rn in g to review the past, the abundance of the blessings refreshes and gives us rest.

T he season has been p ro tracted , aiid yet the m ost gratifying of all, .by reason, of the glory' th a t excelleth. W ords are ioq feeble to express the g ra titu d e we feel in view of th e fact th a t God, in his infin ite goodness and m ercy in Jesus. Christ, has condescended to visit us nt ivery. m eeting, from the. com m ence­

m en t of the" season until now. To this .statem ent there is. no t a single excep­tion. E very service, has received, in a m arked degree, the special benediction of God. In som e cases this h as been so

..gloriously true, th a t tlie people, have- lingered hour- after homy oblivious. of tim e or su rrounding circum stances. Tike the disciples' of old on the su m m it of

•/i'al/or, beholding Jesus only, and from Hie fullness o f th e ir hearts, exclaim ing in th e rap tu res of a new ly-enkindled love, “T t is good for us to he here.” Our special religious work on those grounds com m enced on the first .Sab­bath of Juno, I t was a m em orable day. W e com m enced the ascent of : tlie m o u n t of privilege th a t day, w alking with God in white. T he Lord revealed him self m ost blessedly to our souls.' T he m eetings have m ultip lied steadily since then, increasing in num ber.as the exigencies required , un til som etim es there has n o t n o t. been less than ten or twelve m eetings in a single day< a m o u n t- . ing to . little, if any, sh o rt of five hun -

. dred in all, : A t large .num bers of these m eetings, aside from the general in terest and blessedness'experienced by all wor­sh ipers,’th e ra were developed, m arked , definite, and immediate remits. Many found the Saviour in a clear experience of justification, and h a d th e w itn ess .o f th e S p irit th a t they Were born of God, an d hundreds .were b rough t in to the clear light, and blessed rest of faith.

The ten days’ m eeting for the p rom o­tion of holiness, th e anniversary m eet­ing, the two days’ tem perance m eeting, th e an n u a l cam p-m eeting, the chil­d ren ’s m eetings, th e ’su rf m eetings, the young, peop le’s m eetings, th e Sunday - B ch o o l exercises-—th e long series of m eetings held, day after day, and even­ing after evening, for weeks upon weeks, bv Sister Jam es, were successive cu l­m inations of. sp irited pow er and glory;; u n til all declared, over and over -again-, th a t th e last m eeting was th e best and m ost-successful.- A large-.num ber o f th e children, too, have been.converted .

The Ocean-Grove Record.

T he question raised, in our last, issue, as to the con tinuance o f th is paper, had better .now be determ ined , as we have reached the conclusion of our sum m er series with this- num ber. -. As soon as it is p rin ted , we shall p roceed to have bound in large pam p h le t form, an d neat' pictorial cover, several hun d red copies for those who. h a v e ' ordered, and m ay y et w ant a consecutive and com plete history of the season’s work and wor­ship at Ocean Grove.. M eanwhile, we h av e concluded to, publish the R ecord as" a regular weekly paper; subscriptions ‘to .begin w ith Oc­tober 1st, 1875.

“ Go Forward.”

Rev.

Progress u n d er em ­barrassm ents:; faith to v en tu re when find w herever God. com m ands ; an d the m oral certain ty of success w here the soul’s, eye is single and, tru st wavers not, were the topics treated . U nder an ex traord inary degree of fervor he closed his discourse sa y in g : -

“ Several years ago I p repared a ser­m on on th is text. Soon after I found in

. a new spaper two anonym ous verses ap ­p rop ria te to the subject, w hich I copied as follow s;

• ‘ Go forw ard, though before th ee .T h e ocean’s dep ths m ay lie ;T hough storm y iMouds Eiout o 'er thee,

“ 'T h a t will do,’ I said, and tho u g h t I had reached the end. In th e afternoon, wearied, I lay down to rest. .

treal, sick—sick -when w e arrived Saturday n igh t, and sick all day on Sabbath—and sick, too, a t a m ost in co n ­venient, -and '.seemingly, a t such a n in ­appropria te time.. Sick am ong strang ­e r s , and sick w hen, if the selection of th e tim e h ad been left to us', we would n o t have been sick a t all. B u t we re­solved th a t our sickness should in te r­fere ju s t as little as possible with our pleasure. W e could n o t afford to lay by on ou r first Sabbath in the Q ueen’s dom inions, for w hen should we be here again ? So, after an effort a t breakfast, in w hich we m ade a m ost sig- n a lfa ilu re , we w ent forth u n d er a' b rig h t •

, sky ,to see .the churches. • The R om ish •: worship was a t ten , and the P ro testan t

at. eleven ’o ’clock.-, .T h is gave us an op­p o rtu n ity to go to the R om ish first."

W e hastened, therefore, to the F ren ch Cathedral. T he m ultitudes were lite r­ally pouring in from all directions, W e passed th rough the g reat doors, su r­rounded by a crowd w hich caused us to feel only as a d rop of w ater in a g reat sea. I t is a vast-build ing, capable of seating. 10,000 people—-and on g reat oc­casions, lias contained 15,000.' I t was full w hen ;wc en tered , and the services were.,,going on, with m uch pom p and

.cerem ony, in French. T h e . ceilings, the u pper and lower side galleries, the altar, and, organ- are gorgeously decor­ated, and they are now expending seventy thousand dollars in re touch ing and gilding these decorations, so th a t when • finished, the display will be beyond any th ing perhaps in th e city— and yet the.pew s are Common, and. the doors w ithou t ca rp e t,m a ttin g , or o ther covering. There are a lew good p a in t­ings, b u t a g reat deal of cheap finery, such -ns artificial, flowers and com m on pictures, h u n g around the walls. T here ' was a profuse use of holy,W ater, and various an d varying genuflections and seem ing devotion, b u t the services were

' n o t particular!}' edifying to us. So a v c

•sta id but a little w hile,-then hastened to the W esleyan M ethodist Church, iiv Great. St. Jam es street, near pur hotel This, too, is a large building, seating about 2,500 people. T here was a good congregation iii the m orning, and in the evening probably 2,000 persons • were present. T h e services vary but- little frOTh^oUr own. T he m ost n o tice­able differences.are :.T h a t the m in ister wears th e gown, and iii the 'com m ence­m en t of the service . lie announces sim ply the hym n, then the organist plays the tu n e ; after w inch th e m in is­ter reads one verse,-when organ, choir and congregation all jo in in the song un til the w orshiper feels a t on ce. a heavenw ard lift. T hen an o th er verse is read, and the sam e course is pursued to the end. ®

W e were in terested in tlie prayer, which was sim ple, earnest, appropriate , and contained th is clause, “ God help H er M ost G racious M ajesty, onr beloved Q u een ; m ay h e r governm ent be estab­lished, and ju s t aiid righteous laws everywhere prevail,” T he serm on was by the assistan t m inister,- Rev. Mr, Longley, from Rev! 2 :; 3—“ F o r m y nam e’s sake .” I t was w ell-de livered ; chaste in dictipn, aiid ju s t in concep-

•. . tidh ; con ta in ing a fine analysis o f th e motives which govern h u m an action. First, those w hich too often g o v e rn -- the selfish; and those which. shoiild

L ake George, and w ith w hom we traveled the re ­m ain d er of th e jou rney , an d ttfw hom we are indeb ted for m any kindnesses, we visited th e C hurch of th e Jesuits. I t is m ore chaste in design an d finish th an th e F ren ch C athedral, y e t n o t as

expected. T he frescoing is th e re are two splendid paint-

b lit th e o thers a re cheap, and to our taste; m an y o f them repulsive; and would you believe it, We actually eat and went th rough the w hole of the V esper Service. To say th a t -we'were n o t edified w ould be far belqw the t ru th ; th e flum m ery was really dis­gusting. I was p repared to h ea r low, soft m usic, such as w ould captivate the ear if i t d id n o t reach th e h ea rt—but w hat we h ea rd accom plished neither. I t was coarse, m onotonous, un in te re st­ing My h ea rt said, and before I was aw are o f it, m y lips exclaim ed, righ t there in the.church , bu t n o t in tones to reach or offerid the cars of others, '‘Great God, is this worship?"' B ut this Pagan show had its'effect, I cam e o u t from this pa in ted -pile of stones and m o rtar m ore th an ever in love w ith the sim ple form s of. P rotestantism , a n d a 'h ig h er appreciation of pure, heart-felt religion. P ro testan tism m ay have less gold th an R om anism ; b u t I am sure it has m ore of the divine glory Be th a t' as it m ayj I am very:sure. I W o u ld not exchange the one for the other.

In the evening we w ent again to our W esleyan b re th ren , on G reat St. Jam es street. By th e by, nearly, all the streets are nam ed after saints, and M ontreal ought: to be a very sain tly city. We were kindly iiivited^to. a front pew, and Bibles and hymn-books.- were courte­ously supplied. T he service was con­ducted as in the m orning, bu t the ser­m o n was preached by the senior minia- ter ana. .siipenuieiuioilt. , The .text was Rev. 2 . 11:—“ H e th a t overcom eth shall no t be h u rt of the second dea th .” The wliole production was orthodox, M etho- distic, logical, earnest, eloquent, con­vincing, oftentim es thrilliiig, and m ust have produced lasting im pressions for good upon, the large and ' atten tive audience which listened to it. His appeals to the young to overcom e the hydra-beaded m ouster—intem perance —found, I am sure, an earnest response in nvaiiy hearts, and we earnestly prayed, th a t som e young m an m ight th a t n igh t place his victorious heel. on. the neck of this g reat foe,'and conquer. But, said the preacher, the only-way to secure a. life in 'co n fo rm ity to divine require-- meh.ts, is a pure.heart.

A t the close of the serm on, a prayer- nieeti ng—-th e. iirst of the season—was held. I was sorry to find so few rem ain to enjoy its blessed exercises. • Judging, w ithout an in tro d u ctio n ,.th a t som e of us were m inisters, the strangers were affectionately invited to take p art. W e did so, offering prayer, and giving a few words of C hristian cheer, God bless our b re th ren of the W esleyan Church in M ontreal. T hey have heavy work to confront the m arch of R om anism — b u t God will be w ith them while they are true to h im ?

A t the close of the m eeting, friendly greetings took place, a n d w hen it becam e know n tlia t ■ w e wore from Ocean Grove, we becam e acquain ted at once, for they h ad long since h eard of ou r little city-by the. "sea.

Our. New Rail-Koad.

Mr-. E, M. Bruce, well know n for' h is e fficacy 'as .a helper in the m eetings, especially in the m usical departm ent, and hig very sim ple .and practical way of leading anxious souls in to light, took, a trip from Ocean -Grove-to Now Y ork and re tu rn by rail the o ther day, and has found n in e a t our request fo jo t a few. observations, which, with great pleasure, we lay before our. readers; He says.: :

To those who have jogged over the road from Long B ranch or S quab to Ocean Grove- for the past five- or 's ix yeara through the dust or through the.- ra in , the long h o u r and a h a lf in the: Stage to accom plish ’ the distance; has

th e j; can m uch m ore full}’' than the new com er, appreciate the reduction iu tinie: to ten or tw enty m inutes, and ex­change oi the leaky hack, for the beau­tiful and • luxurious rail-w ay coach. T he en terprising Com pany seem fully to understand th e a r t of pleasing the public (and consequently m ak ing all th e ir roads a g rand success) by giving the very best qf everything. .These, cars are new and so finely bu ilt th a t they alm ost , deserve the designation of “ palace cars.” . T he road bed is re m a rk ­ably sm ooth for a new road, and- large gangs of m en are’already a t w ork bal­lasting with slag • from the C atasauqua furnaces,- w hich will effectually prevent the dust from annoying the traveler'. T he station houses arc really elegant, the one a t • Long B ranch being nearly finished; also, th e one a t R ed B ank ; the others are tem porary . :■’ The bridges are m odels of strength and beauty, the m agnificentdraw -bridge across the R aritan a t South Amboy being one of th e finest in the coun­try. I t is four hundred and seventy-two feet in length, m ak in g an opening of two hundred feet in w idth on each side of the ccnter, for vessels to pass. I t rests on four hydrau lic jacks, and is raised from its bed and Bwung by a sta tionary steam -engine. T he road n in e through

'a very fertile country , new 8ccne6 of beauty and in tprest continually com ing in sight T he view of th e b a y ju s t be­fore. reaching South A m boy is the best We have ever seen.
