THE SOUTHERN WORLD, MARCH 1, 1882,
§i\thcml §mSr
Lire is too short for its possessors to wear
long faces.
Hr who has not religion for his pillow is
without a resting-place.
That which is hitter to be endured may be
sweet to he remembered.
IIeabt-wohk is betterthan head-work; and
it is a belter temper to be fervent in charity
than in disputes.
Good qualities are the substantial riches
of the mind; but it is good breeding that
sets them off to advantage.
Like a beautiful flower, full of color but
without scent, uru the line but fruitless
words of him who does not act accordingly.
We were not meant to struggle from nor birth,
To skulk ami creeg, and In mean pathways range;
Act! with stern truth, large faith ami loving will!
I'paml be doing! God Is with us still.
We have need of patience, anti in nothing
more than self-culture as a Christian. The
work of grace in the soul is generally slow.
Men pray to be made humble, while doing
nothing to make an answer to their prayers
possible. They must expect, therefore, that
if they get what they wish, it will be when
God crushes them into lowliness.
We are all sculptors and painters; our ma
terial is our own llcsh and blood and bones.
Any nobleness begins at once to reline a
man’s features, any meanness or sensuality
to imbrute them.
The Queen of Madagascar, in a recent
proclamation forbidding her subjects cither
to sell or drink ruin, says: “I cannot take a
revenue from anything that will debasennd
degrade my people." And this woman is
called a pagan.
Rai.i'ii Waldo Emerson retleets the senti
ments of the best class of people in this
sentence: "Sunday is the core of our civili
zation dedicated to thought and reverence.
It invites us to the noblest solitude and no
blest society.”
Few persons realize how much happiness
may bo promoted by a few words ef cheer
spoken in moments of despondency; hy
words of encouragement in seasons of diltl-
culty; by words of commendation when ob
stacles have lieeti overcome by effort anti
perseverance.
An assault upon a man’s belief will con
firm or injure him in proportion as he is
firmly fixed in faith in God. The summer
storm makes the tree that is well rooted
stronger and greater, but breaks and up
roots the one that is decayed and brittle.
The dead calm of religious life is nlways
destructive. There must be inequalities of
experience, divergences of belief, varieties
of taste; disproportionate depths of convic
tion and feeling. To make all men alike in
piety, would be to settle the church down in
fatal stagnation.
There is something puthctic in the np-
pearauce of the sun as it slowly retires to
wards the South. It is almost a suggestion
of lost or failing power, and its look at the
earth even on the brightest days has in it
much of the uncertainty of conscious weak
ness.
TiiKHEnre moments when every spirittlmt
hath breathed cternul life, feels in the pres
ence of some great and unknown power. In
the cool evening, the shady noon, or the
dewy morning, all and every one hath felt
that some power above the earth was near.
A silent spell sheds o'er the spirit a foretaste
of Heaven’s joy. Thoughts come as rays of
light illuminuting the cell within, nnd
peering out over the lovely landsca|ic, reveal
beauties that were nover seen before.
The lmbit of giving is helped by even the
commonest kindnesses and beneficences and
hence the practice of “making presents" at
the holidays may have a religious intlucnce.
At the same time ull habits, to be really
useful and productive, must be sanctified,
and no one will exercise his beneficence
properly and fruitfully unless he do it in a
spirit of consecration to the lord. It is re
ligious giving that is well thought of in
heaven.
Firry thousand schools cost, probably,
about $150,000,000, or about onc-ninth as
much os the liquor bill of the nation. The
support of 60,000 ministers of Christ costs,
perhaps, $50,000,000. There are four times
ns many agencies to destroy the people of
this country as there are agencies to save
them. There are three teachers of crime
and pauperism to one of morulity and
thrift. Ten times as much money for the
destruction of men as for their saving.
Take from the world the Bible, the religion
it inculcates, and advantages derived, in
civilization, in all the legitimate business of
life and what would this world be? There
are men in this world who prosper in their
business pursuits, and live in the enjoyment
of muny blessings, without realizing the
great truth, that the Bible and religion are
the basis of civil society, and the source of
all good and all comfort. Such may be
willing that religion may prosper, but not
willing lo contribute as much as a “widow’s
mite,” to aid in that cause which has con
tributed so much toward their prosperity.
Palaces and hovels, we have many of each,
in the great city. Yet there be some who
have no home—no home in a palace, no
home in a hovel, no home anywhere in the
vast city, no home on the broad earth.
The boy of only sixteen who blew his
bruins out a few days ago had companions
and playmates, but he Imd no home. The
little babe that, on one cold night, was found
frozen to death in a public street in its
mother's arms, had no home lo be taken to.
Even the warmth of a mother's breast was
insufficient to keep life in its tiny veins; so
it perished of the cold, all for the want of a
home.
Young man, let it be your ambition and
effort to acquire and own a home of your
own, however humble it be. More sumptu
ous quarters may wait on an increase of
wealth; but be content at lirst with a mod
est home, so that it is yours. But rest not
without something to your name that will
answer the description of that precious
monosyllable, Home. Consider the sorrows
of the homeless, and remain not, indolently,
