earth In her quick and undoubting faith. My
eye sougth the blue depths toward which she
pointed, my heart bounded toward the Jnfl
nite. All tho representations of the gospel,
adapted as they are to sooth and cheer, came
to me so vivid, so truthful, so full of mean
ing that they absorbed my whole soul. The
abundant promises seemed to glow with the
hues of that heaven from whence they came.
At once I perceived the selfishness of my
sorrow, and kneeling, I thanked God that he
had transferred my loved one to himself.
Often since then have I looked upon the
resting-places of my kindred, of often and has hopeless there
come over me a sense utter
desolation, often lias an agony like that of
death turned to bitterness the continued
blessings of my lot. Yet, when the first burst
of grief has passed, 1 see again that lovely
child, and hear the soul-cheering assurance.
“There are no graves there.”—Watchman.
THE DYING DEACON’S REAVER.
He had loDg been and faithful he lay and exemplary bed
as a Christian, now upon the
of death. He felt and his physician assured
him, that the close of life was at band, and
in a few short hours he must enter eternity!
His minister came in to see him. and before
departing proposed prayer, askirq; for what
he should pray—if ilia there wns any particular
petition that dying friend wished him to
offer. And the answer of tho good old man
was, “Yes, pray for me the first three peti¬
tions of the Lord s prayer: Hallowed be thy
name; thy kingdom come*, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven!” v
What a spectacle of sublimity! What a
trinmf h of faith! What an example of self
forgetfulness, in the all-absorbing interest in
Christ's kingdom, i.ud the desire that it
might everywhere be extended through the
world! In circumstances in which of all
others, the holiest saint might well feel his
need of Divine support and comfort, and
specially lie pray for himself, upholding and sustaining God’s
grace, forgets to pray that
name l> * hallowed, and his kingdom com©,
and Ks will be done on earth as in Heaven!
“Thy kingdom eom< !” Is this our daily
prayer: our constant desire; the end for
which wc toii and give and pray and habitu¬
ally live? Does this lead us to speak for
God. to pray for the the* impenitent, to suppli¬
cate the influence of Holy Spirit, to cir¬
culate the Bible, the tract, the religious pa¬
lter, to be faithful to the means of grace, to
co-op' rate with the ministry of reconcilia¬
tion. aud earnestly pray fora blessing on
«neir la) ors,to look well to our own example,
to do good at home, to send the missionary
to the end of the earth? For this do w« seek
to be hoh ourselves and to train up our
families for God? For this are we faithful in
the church, and consistent and exemplary be¬
fore the world?
“Thy kingdom come!” There is no better
prayer, no loftier end that we can pr opose to
ou/seives or others; no higher object to fill
our thoughts and engage our pursuits in life,
or to enga.e our desires in the very article of
death! He whose interests and aims and
end- are one with those of God must be use¬
ful, must be happy, both here and hereafter.
—Let the pray tbeu of our Jip» and also of
ou.- life be "Tbv kingdom come; heaven!”—Pur. thy will be
doneomartb as it is in
Kec.
Our safety is in having lofty ideals, and in
constant labor to secure their realization.
Let tbe getting of money be a man’s ideal,
and he will of necessity grow toward the
dust.-Joseph Parker.

what is ahead of the moderate drinker.
The moderate drinker would do woll to
road Arnold tho article the North o:i American “Inebriety” lleview. by Dr. He E.
iu
does not hesitate to call the mo Pirate drink¬
er a drunkard. He says that the immediate
effect of a moderate umouut of alcohol Is a
feeding of increased vigor. I leas are in¬
creased in quickness, but lose in concentra¬
tion. The system soon ilemau Is the stimu¬
lants more frequently. Ahatinonco is fol¬
lowed by suffering. Tho hand loses its
steadiness, the brain its clearness. Insom¬
nia adds to the drain o*i the nervous forces,
and the patient Instinctively resorts, for re¬
lief, to the poison which is the direct cause
of his condition. In time these symptoms
become iatensiile 1 and evidences of chronic
degeneration manifest theraseivos. Scarcely
an organ in the body is exempt. It strikes
at the root of the vital functions, retarding
the work of the stomach and the liver. Tne
patient is liable to catarrh, finally and a candidate
for Bright’s disease, and apoplexy.
Here is a faithful history of the moderate
drinker put in tho cold language of medi¬
cal science; but it will lie confirmed by every
observant, feeling soul.
THE “TREATING” CUSTOM.
Readers of the ublo addresses delivered at
Uto League of the Cross meeting In this city
on Sunday will have noticed that the league
speakers, in common with tho majority of
discriminating temperance advocates else¬
where, have determined upon the “treating
habit” ns the place In which to put the en¬
tering wedge of the temperance reform. AU
the speakers at the league meeting seem to
hold in common the view that, however the
liquor habit may be combated in individual
cases, its most dangerous outgrowth is the
praetioe of “treating.' And this is the prac¬
tice which offers the best field of effort for
the reformers who wish to overcome intem¬
perance. No of the liquor evil in its vari
observer
ous pfiases can doubt fdr a moment the gen¬
eral correctness of this decision. The “treat¬
ing” custom is responsible for (wo drink. of the
worst of the attendant evils of It
obliges those who follow it to drink more
than they want or would lake, but for the
sake of appearing to bo sociable. And it cul¬
tivates the taste for liquor among young
men who would have nothing to do with
were «hey not asked an I urge l to do so. A
man who enters a saloon alone is generally
content with as much alcoholic stimulant as
will appear histhrist and give him a mod¬
erate exhilaration. Let hint be accompanied
l»y one or two others and the senseless cus¬
tom of treating demands the purchase and
consumption by each drinker of as many *
driuks as there are mcniflers o' the party—
multiplied, of course, by the number of times
that any individual member may take it into
ills head to “irent.”
The drink habit is bn I enough In itself,
