A word to the wise is sufficient !
RHUCIOUS DEPARTMENT,
Hard Times.
Who is it that has not heard these
words over and over thousands ol
times within the last few months?
Mr. Hard Times has been made a
scapegoat tor many of our failures to
do our duty, and for sins innumer
able. When the cries of the needy
and distressed appeal to us for sub
stantial aid, we g ; ve sympathy and
withhold help, because forsooth, the
times ar so hard. Forgetting that
for this very reason the need for us to
do more than give sympathy is only
the more pressing. We guess that
tins was the excuse which many made
in apostolic, times, when they said to
the cold and hungry and naked, ‘‘Be
ye warmed, be ye fed, he ye clothed
hut that was not true religion, and is
condemned by the word of God.
Again, when calls have been made
upon us to give to the support of our
churches, and to pay what is due
.God's servants who feed our souls
upon spiritual food, we excuse our
selves by saying the times aie so hard.
Yes, they are hard, but what are we
doing to make them better? What
self denials hat e we made to dh charge
our duty to our fellow man and to
our God ? Are we not the rather
using them as a plea to gratify sell
and to ease conscien. e for failure to
do our solemn duty. Let God’s peo
ple do right, and He wi*l make Hiese
hard times a gr:at blessing to them
and to tlie world. It is said that
usually great revivals of religion have
followed in the wake of hard times.
We look for a mighty outpouring of
the blessings of God upon the people
in the near future.
The Business Han's Lesson.
He was an upright business man.
In his heart he believed tlie religion
of Christ true, But he was very
busy, and w'icn Sunday came he was
thoroughly tired. He had become in
terested, too, in hisdSunday papei, so
lie gradually dropped off going to
cbureli. Ills wife went regularly,
and sometimes the children. One
morning, just alter his wife had set
out. he was comfortably seated, read
ing the money article, when he heard
his boys talking in the next room.
Said eight year old Willie :
“VY'hen you grow up, shall you go
(o church as mother does, or stay at
home like father ?”
“I shall do neither, v said the one,
decidedly. “When I’m a man I shall
have my horse*, and be on the road
Sundays and enjoy myself.’'
The newspaper suddenly lost its
attraction. Between the father and
it, there came a picture of his boys
associating with loose men, amt drift
ing into a godless, reckless life, and of
himself looking on it in his old age as
fruit of his self indulgence. Five
minutes after he wa9 rapidly walking
toward the chuicli. When the service
was over, his wife, coming down ttie
aisle, saw him waiting at the door.
There was questioning, glad surprise
in her ryes, but lie only remarked that
he had taken a walk and thought lie
would join her on her way home.
Next Sunday, however, the whole
family were in their pew, ami all the
rest of the day there was a kind of a
peace about the home that reminded
him of his boyhood happy days in his
father’s home. And who will sav
that lie was the less fitted for another
week ot business life by his shae iti
the service of God’s house, instead of
•‘staying at home all Sunday to rest ?”
The Heed of Watchrare.
Nothing is more common among
our churches than Jo hear it said: “We
had a revival, as the result of which
we received 30, 40, 50, 75 or 100 con
verts.” If the question is asked a year
later, “how are you getting a'ong?”
very likely the reply will be, “We
have had to drop two thirds of those
whom we received a year ago; or, if
we did not drop them, they have
fallen inte silence and uselessness.*’ It
seems to be expected that a large
number of the converts gathered
should tall out. We do not believe
that this is the divine ideal or the di
vine intention. God means that men
should be led to repentance, that souls
should be converted, and that they
shouhi not only stay converted, but
that they should lead a lifo of contin
ual progress. The path of the jus l
shines brighter ami brighter unto the
perfect day. Why, then, in it not >o ?
It \va> once said that there wmild
be more happy koines it husbands and
wives paid less attention to making
traps, and more attention to making
cages; if they would lake pains to
keep affection, as well as to win it.
Does not the same thing app'y to our
churches? We hold extra meetings,
perhaps employ an evangelist; we
spend much time in prayer, in labor,
wu gather men in; we rejoice when
we see them brought into the church.
What mxt ? We leave them to wan
der. The j onng convert is absent
from a prayer m ctihg. lie finds that
his absence i- not noticed. Presently'
be is absent again. No one lavs his
hand upon him and says: “My bro li
er, we miss you. Did anything keep
von away last week? Will you lmt
make a point of being present next
w eek ?” On the oilier hand, the world
is pulling, young companions are at
tractive, the saloon invites; by and by
his interest has departed, and if lie re
maii s nominally a branch, it is as a
branch that hears no fruit, ami is
wilheren. It is said that when a re
toi med man or woman joins the Sal
vation Army, tie Army, as a matter
of course, appoints someone of the
same sex to watch over the convert, to
w arn him at the first instance of way
wardness or negligence. Herein is
half the battle—organization, watch
fulness. And, indeed, what do we
promise to the convert w hen he is re
ceived into the church? Do we not
pledge to him this watchfulness? Is
this watchfulness any moro than a
name? I) es it mean something, or
does it mean nothing? and will not
tlie Lord hold us, at the last, respon
sible for those for whom we have not
cared with the vigor of u idying love,
for their own sak<‘, and for the Mas
ter’s sake ?
