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.
