8 Jo* ft* OTtilteti. 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.
