Little Willie.
“ Dear mama,” low whispered Willie,
Rising from his trtmdle-bed,
Softly creeping after mother,
With a timid, noiseless tread,
« Do not leave your little Willie,
’Tia so rery dark,” he said.
"Dark! and what of that, my darling?
God is near you just the same.
When you feel afraid, dear Willie,
Call upon the Saviour's name;
Be will light your little chamber
With a soothing, heavenly flame.
“It wilt drive away the shadows
In my.little Willie’s heart;
It will bid all gloomy feelings
From his timid soul depart;
Then the brightness of'his Spirit
To the room will light impart.
“Jesus will protect you, darling;
So you need not be afraid;
He is ever near my Willie,
Both in- sunlight and in shade.
Trust him, dearest, sweetly slumber
Till the stars at day-break fade.”
Then upon his downy pillow
Willie laid his curly head,
All his fears of darkness vanished,
“ I will trust the LondJAhe sa : d,
" Surely I can fear no
While He watches o’er my bed.”
The Happy Finder.
George was in the high school. One day
after he had learned his lessons, he took out his
Bible and began to read it. His next neigh
bor leaned over and asked “ if he was going
to be a parson.” He did so several days, and
the boys laughed and called him “serious.”
That is one way the devil takes to hinder
young men from thinking of their souls. He
sets their companions to make fun of them,
and he tries to make them afraid of it. But
t it did not make George afraid.
, “I am serious,” he said. “ I feel I have
/ heaven to gain and hell to shun, and I feel
anxious about it.” The boys looked sober at
that, and never said anything more.
George heard a sermon upon this subject,
“ Choose ye this day whom ye will serve,”
and he saw several persons choosing. Stanly
Miles chose; Robert Sharon chose, yes, and
many others had chosen to serve God. George
thought he ought to choose. He wanted to
be a Christian ; he wanted to find his Sa
viour.
“ How do you feel, George ?” asked his
minister, when he went to see him.
“ I feel, sir,” said George, “ as if seeking
after something I’ve lost; and I wanted above
all things to find it.”
George, in fact, was lost. That is the way
the Bible speaks of us. It tells us we art*
lost; and it says the Lord Jesus “ came to
save that which was lost.” George was be
ginning to feel this, and he was seeking that
very Saviour ; his soul was reaching out after
God. And as God promises that every soul
that seeks shall find, George set himself in
earnest about finding what his soul needed—
a Redeemer from his sins, a helper to do
right.
In reading the Bible, George found this
prayer of good David : “ Mine eyes are unto
thee, O God the Lord ; in thee is my trust:
leave not my soul destitute;” and he made it
his prayer. He liked the words. It spoke
for him, he said. His Sabbath school teacher
prayed with him, but he did not find.
A holiday came. A party of boys were
going to the sea side, and they came and asked
George to go with them. His aunt told him
to go. His mother said, “ Let George do as
he thinks best.” “ 1 cannot go, mothyfj until
I have found God so he stayed at home :It
was a beautiful morning. He got Vp early
and went into the barn. Falling his
knees, he cried, “ Mine eyes are unto thee, O
God the Lord ; in thee is my trust; leave not
iny soul destitute.” When he drove the cows
to pasture, he knelt down on a rock, and there
called upon God. George felt that he could
not take no for answer. Like Jacob of old,
he wrestled with God for a blessing. In the
forenoon George went to walk alone. When
he came home his mother was at the door.
“ Mother,” he said, “ everything looks so
beautiful. I see God everywhere and in
everything, mother. I know I have found
Him ;” with a sweet, soft, happy look of one
who had found “ the pearl of price.” The
next day he said, “ Oh, mother, I have
got forgiveness, and love, and comfort, and all
that my soul needed. If this is religion, why
does not every body try for it? for toey that
seek shall find, and I know it.”
What George then found he neve;’ lost.
More and more he finds it better than rubies;
and all the things that may be desired are not
to be compared to it.
The Lambs.
“ I was, one day, in the suburbs of Jerusa
lem, and went out to see the tombs of the
prophets and judges. We found the spot in
a very dilapidated condition. Once there must
have been doors, but now the doors are broken
down, and now the beasts go into them and
find rest there. There came up a severe
storm, and as I was feeble—l was in very
poor health at the time —we betook ourselves
into the tombs, for you can go into the large
room-like places. I saw where the dead had
been laid upon their rocky couches, and as I
turned to look out, I saw that the storm had
passed away.
“My face was toward the Mediterranean
Sea, and as I stood, there came along a flock
of sheep who made for the tomb ; but finding
it occupied, turned into another one for shel
ter. Coming after the sheep was a little boy
—a shepherd boy. He was clad in the garb
the shepherd boys wore, and the only garment
he bad was a cotton one, folded around him,
lapped over and fastened with a girdle. He
was coming slowly through the storm, and, as
he drew near, I saw that his bosom was very
full. And I looked, and as he got almost to
me, I saw he had a little lamb, very young,
that he had picked up, in one side of his bo
som ; and on still further regarding him, I
found that he had still another on the other
side. They could not keep up with the flock
in the storm, and to shelter them from the
weather be had put them in his bosom. I had
often thought of it before, but it never struck
me so forcibly that my Saviour was carrying
his lambs in his bosom. As 1 have just said,
I was in very poor health, 1 did not know
whether I would ever see my home again,
and I thought, at that moment, of the little
ones whom I had left in the bosom of that
home. And I looked through the storm on
the hills of Judea, and thought of the Medi
terreanean Sea, and of the Atlantic Ocean,
and of the eastern shore of my own country,
and of the Alleghany Mountains, and away
over these mountains I thought of my home
and my little children I had left there—my
little lambs. I said to mysd£ at that mo
ment, ‘I trust to my I shall fail
to pass over all this distance, and if I nevershall
seethe loved ones of my home again, I shall see
them in heaven, for he will carry the lambs in
His bosom, and 1 shall meet them in the day
of eternity.’ O what jfly thrilled through
my heart! And when 1 see a mother w eeping
and a father weeping for the little ones taken
away, 1 think of Jc3us—that he has taken
them to his bosom, out of the storm and out
of the tempest of this world—they are safe
in the mansions of glory and of God ! O, yes,
we see our little ones and our loved ones,
at last,'«#ngels of God ! Are you, mothers,
and you farmers, and you, dear friends, prepar
ed to meet them in glory ? They are singing,
yonder, to-day ! Listen to them! Are you
prepared to sing there with them ? They see
the face of our Saviour ! Can you look up and
saji, * I see his face?’ Can you feel, to-day, that
‘before the throne your Saviour stands, your
name is written on his hand?’” —Bishop
Simpson.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA„ TH URSDAT, JANUARY 9,1868,
The Wrong Signal.
“ What has happened ?” said Mr. Hamilton
to his son, who entered the room in haste, and
with the air of one who has some interesting
neWA to communicate.
frejght train has run off the track and
kiflwa man,” said Joseph.
“ How did that happen ?” said Mr. Hamib
ton.
“ The watchman gave the wrong signal.
The engineer said that if he had given the
right signal, the accident would not have oc
curred.
Making the wrong signal cost a man his life.
There is another sense in which wrong signals
sometimes occasion the loss of life—of life
spiritual. The preacher who fails to declare
the way of salvation, as it is laid down in
God’s Word, who teaches that all men shall
be saved, or who teaches that men may secure
salvation by their own works, gives the wrong
signal. In consequence, men take the wrong
track, and go on to perdition.
The private Christian, whose reputable :
standing in the church and in society, gives
influence to his example, pursues a course of |
conduct utterly inconsistent with the injunction, i
“Be not conformed to this world.” The
young Christian is led to practice a similar
course; by degrees he loses his spirituality,
and becomes one of those who have a name
to live, but are dead. The holding out of the
wrong signal led to the disaster.
A professing Christian exposes himself to
temptation. He has power to resist the
temptation, and escapes unharmed. One of
less power is led to follow his example, and
falls into sin. To him, his predecessor had
given the signal that there was no danger
there. He gave the wrong signal.
We are constantly giving signals to our
fellow-men—signals, which will direct their
journey to eternity. How careful should we
be at all times to avoid giving the wrong sig
nal.—Examiner.
“That’s How.”
After a great snow-storm, a little fellow
began to shovel a path through a large snow
bank before his grandmother’s door. He had
nothing but a small shovel to work with.
“ HoW do you expect to get through that
drift?” asked a man passing along.
“ By keeping at it” said the boy cheerfully;
that’s how !”
That is the secret of mastering almost
every difficulty under the sun. If a hard task
is before you, stick to it. Do not keep think
ing how large or hard it is; but go at it, and
little by little it will grow smaller and smaller,
until it is done.
If a hard lesson is to be learned, do not
spend a moment in fretting; do not lose a
breath in saying, “ I can’t,” or “I do not see
how ;” but go at it, and keep at it. Study.
That is the only way to conquer it.
If a fault is to be cured, or a bad habit
broken up, it cannot be done by merely be
ing sorry, or only trying a little. You must
keep fighting it, and not give up fighting until
it is got rid of.
If you have entered your Master’s service,
and are trying to 6egood and to do good, you
will sometimes find hills of difficulty in the
way. Things will often look discouraging,
and you will not seem to make any progress
at all; but keep at it. Never forget “that’s
how !”
Different Kinds of Givers. —A little boy,
who had plenty of cents, dropped one into the
missionary box, laughing as he did so. He
had no thought in his heart about Jesus, the
heathen, or the missionary. His was a tin
penny. It was as light as a scrap of tin.
Another boy put a penny in, and as he did
so, looked round with a self-applauding gaze,
as if he had done some great thing. His was
a brass penny. It was not the gift of a “lowly
heart,” but of a proud spirit.
A third boy gave a penny, saying to him
self, “ I suppose I must, because all others do.”
That was an iron penny. It was the gift of
a cold, hard heart.
Asa fourth boy dropped his penny in the
box he shed a tear, and his heart said, “ Poor
heathens! I’m sorry they are so poor, so
ignorant, and so miserable.” That was a
silver penny. It was the gift of a heart full
of pity.
But there was one scholar who gave his cent
with a throbing heart, sayingto himself, “For
thy sake, O loving Jesus, I give this penny,
hoping that the poor heathen whom thou lovest
will believe in thee, and become thy disci
ples.” That was a golden penny, because it
was the gift of love.
How many of our readers give golden
pennies?” —Spirit of Missions.
Mercy and Pardon. —ln the reign of the
first Napoleon there was an insurrection in
Paris. One of the ringleaders was brought
before the emperor; and as this was his second
offence against the government, he was sen
tenced to be transported.
The day after the trial it was told Napoleon
that the child of the convicted man was wait
ing to see him. “ Bring her in,” said Napol
eon ; and a teai’ful, trembling little girl, on
being led in, cast herself at his feet and im
plored him to have mercy on her father.
“ My child,” said the emperor, touched by
her distress, “this is the second time your
father has been guilty of treason ; I cannot
save him.” “O, sir,” said the kneeling child,
“ it is not justice we want, but mercy and par
don.” Napoleon, much moved, raised the
girl to her feet, and said, “For your sake I
will release your father.”
Does not this story apply to us? Are not
our wants the same as that little child’s? “It
is not justice” we want from the great King,
even the Lord our God, but “mercy and par
don” for Christ’s sake.— Messenger.
“ Lo I am with You Alway!” —A mother,
one morning, gave her two little ones books
and toys to amuse them, while she went to
attend to some work in an upper room.
A half hour passed quietly, and then a
timid voice at the foot of the stairs called
out:
“ Mamma, are you there ?”
“ Yes, darling.”
“ All right, thenand the child went back
to its play.
By-and-by the question was repeated—
“ Mamma, are you there ?”
“ Yes.”
“ All right, then and the little ones, reas
sured of their mother’s presence, again re
tured to their toys.
Thus when God’s little ones, in doubt and
loneliness, look up and ask : “ My Father,art
Thou there?’ and when therecoines in answer
the assurance of his presence, our
quieted.
Patience, Forgiveness. Among the
Huguenots condemned to the gullies for their
faith, John Huber says: “We arrived one
night at a little town, chained, my wife and
my children, with fourteen galley slaves. The
priests came to us, offering freedom on con
dition that we abjured. We agreed to pre
served profound silence. After them came the
women and children of the place, who cov
ered us with mud. 1 made my little party
fall on their knees, and we put up this prayer,
in which all the fugitives joined :—“Gracious
God, who seest the wropgs to which we are
hourly exposed, give us strength to support
them, and to forgive in charity those who
wrong us. Strengthen us from good eyen un
to belter.”
Censoriousness. —“ He who is displeased
with everybody and everything, gives the
best evidefice that his own temper is defective,
and that he is a bad associate.”— Wayland.
Wht Jamilg aul Jot.
My Reminder.
I have a beautiful illuminated text in my
little parlor—the words, “Whatsoever he
saith unto you, do it.” It was the gift of a
very lovely young friend, who brought it to
me and asked me to find the right place
to hang it. “ Ah, Emma,” I said, as 1 looked
up at it after I had placed it upon the wall,
“ what a beautiful text! what a reminder of
one’s duty every hour in the day !”
“ Yes,” she said, “ I have the same in my
chamber. The first thing that my eyes rest
upon in the morning is this text, and I wonder,
when I awake, if I shall have courage to go
forward in my day’s duties, doing whatsoever
my Master bids me.”
Yes, there it hangs, the beautiful text, in
blue and gold and divers colors. I do not
know how many times during the day my
eye turns to it, and my heart turns to it too,
1 think—“ Whatsoever he saith unto you, do
it.”
What does he say unto me, a plain, quiet
woman, in m\ own quiet home? Does he bid
me go forth and do some great thing, and
bring some honor upon myself and family ? I
think not. My path of duty does not seem
like that. God appoints us each a place in
his great vineyard, and gives us work to do, and
he saith unto us, “Do it.” Mine is a quiet lot
—daily duties, daily cares, daily labors,
daily sorrows, and daily blessings. Here is
my work, my life—work in my home and
about my home ; and the Master saith,
' “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it;”
and when anxious and troubled, like
Martha, about much serving, he says, “ casting
all your care upon Him, for He careth for
you.” I never thought much about this text
until it hung in my parlor. I hope it will
prove a silent and effective teacher, and tend
to keep me in the path of duty.
Illustration. —Farraday, as a lecturer at
the Royal Institution, “ sought to reach the
mind of every hearer through more senses
than one. He never told his listeners of an
experiment; he always showed it to them,
however simple and well known it might be.
‘ If,’ said he once, to a young lecturer, * I said
to my audience, this stone will fall to the
ground if I open my hand, I should not be
content with saying the words ; I should open
my hand and let it fall. Take nothing for
granted as known ; inform the eye at the same
time that you address the ear.’ And this
was the great secret of Farraday’s success.
Every one left the theatre of the institution
in Albemarle satisfied that he had really ac
quired some useful knowledge, and that he
had gained it pleasantly, and without time or
labor.”
Just Protection.— By a clause in a recent
Act to enforce order in licensed houses in
Pennsylvania, it is made a penal offence to
sell or to give any person drink when request
ed not to do so by the wife of the drinker.
The Commonwealth thus puts it in the power
of the injured wife to cut off the supplies
which are brutalizing her husband, and to
close up to all customers the establishment
which persists in disregarding her wishes. It
is no longer necessary for her to go on her
knees to the soulless man, who is grinding
her own and her children’s blood and bones
into wealth and luxury for himself; nor is it
necessary to' gather a mob of women, render
ed frantic by suffering and wrong, in order,
by violence, to secure a temporary abatement
of the nuisance.
Apparel. —A man ought, in his clothes, to
conform something to those that he converses
with, to the custom of “the nation, and the
fashion that is decent and general to the occa
sion, and his own condition ; for that is best
that best suits with one’s calling, and the rank
we live in. And seeing that all men are not
(Edipuses, to read the riddle of another man’s
inside, and most men judge by appearances,
it behooves a man to barter for a good es
teem, even from his clothes and outside. We
guess the goodness of the pasture by the
mantle we see it wears.— Feltham.
Practical Preaching. —A minister, re
cently speaking in a Convention sermon of
the susceptibility of a certain class of hearers
whenever the gospel is made to apply in its
practical bearings, said with equal simplicity
and force, “1 used to wonder, in my boyhood
days, in reading the story of Aladdin, how it
were possible by the mere rubbing of a lamp
to call up such marvellous creatures as the
genii were. But since I have been a minister
I have ceased to wonder at that, for the min
ister in the pulpit has but to touch certain
subjects to call up Satan himself.”
Prayer. —Prayer is a closing of the eyes
on things seen, and opening them on things
unseen. It is penitence vocal, faith making
its profession, and love kindling into a flame.
It is a heart brought to the altar, a flower
opening to the benignant eye of heaven ; it is
a putting off the shoes at Floreb ; it is a walk
to Ernmaus: it is to be present in the upper
chamber; to sit quietly by the Saviour’s
side, lean the head on his bosom, and feel the
beating of Immanuel’s heart.— A. C. Thomp
son.
A New Use for Preaching. —A clergy
man was once sent for in the middle of the
night by one of the ladies of his congregation.
“ Well, my good woman,” said he, “ so you
are very ill, and require the consolations of
religion? What can Ido for you ?’* “No,”
replied the old lady, “ I am only nervous and
can’t sleep.” “ How can I help that ?” asked
the parson. “Oh ! sir, you always put me to
sleep so nicely when I go to church, that I
thought if you would only preach a little for
me!” The parson “ made tracks.”
Growth of London. —lt is computed that
the average extension of the aggregation of
cities which are Ttollectively known as Lon
don, is at the rate of two miles of finished
buildings per day. The need of this
rapid construction can be estimated when
it is known that the railroad improve
ments projected, and now being con
structed, will, during the present year, neces
itate the removal alone of 20,000 dwelling
houses. A majority of these are inhabited
by the industrial classes.
“ Politeness” in Prayer. —A few days
since we heard a presiding elder repeat the
following paragraph from a prayer which he
had heard offered by some modern Addisoni
an professor: “We would not presume to
dictate to thee, O Lord, with regard to thy
administration, but we beg leave respectfully
to suggest that it might be well for thee to re
vive thy work''
A planter at Union Church, Miss., writes
to the New Orleans Times, that he has dis
covered an important fact, to-wit: That the
cotton fly deposits its eggs in the green limbs
of the cotton stalk at the close of the season.
The fly penetrates the stalks and lays its eggs
in them, and it is suggested that the stalks be
burned early.— Advertiser and Register.
Dr. Herman Koiin, of Breslau, has exam
ined the eyes of 10,860 school children, and
found that more than one in six were short
sighted. There are four times as many short
sighted children in the town as in the country,
and the evil increases just in proportion to the
amount of study exacted from the children.
Idle Words. —“ Every idle word!” Oh
blessed God, what shall become of those who
love to prate continually !— Jeremy Taylor.
