An Oild Christening.
There ltves a man in Detroit, in
telligent, prosperous and happy, who
does not know that he has a living
relative in the world. He bears this
deprivation philosophically and seems
to regard it as something of a dis
tinction to be alone in the world.
“Nearly fifty years ago," he relates,
“I was picked up by a slow sailinrr
vessel, some six hundred miles from
Liverpool. I was a lusty youngster
of 5, lashed to a mast, a pleasing a.,
surance that the parents whom I
barely recall loved me and had a care
for mv safety in the catastrophe that
must have caused their own deaths.
.1 was cold, hungry, thirsty and sleepy
when taken aboard the old time
trader. My appearance was of
course against me, and my clamor to
be-supplied with creature comforts
did not please the gruff captain, who
had a dense ignorance of children
and their management. His first or
der was to give me the rope's end,
but there was successful intercession,
and 1 was cared for while lie growled
at his hard luck.
“But the captain took sick and
found more comfort in my prattle
than in anything else provided for
him. He look a great liking to me
and called me his son. As soon as
he was up he decided that I must be
christened, one of the few things
that he knew should be attended to
in the case of children. Of course
there was no chaplain aboard, so the
captain himself undertook the' cere
mony. He gathered the crew about
ami with a mixed knowledge of his
duties he glared about him as he
asked whether any one knew just
cause why I should not be christened.
“If there is,’ he roared, ‘speak np
like a man or forever hold your clap
per.' Then lie suddenly cracked a
bottle of wine over my head and
christened me.”
Here the citizens laughed, and ad
ded that he was 9 when the captain
died, and had made his own way ever
since.

The Melancholy Of Pndenvski’s Life.
Under the title of a “A Polish
Fantasy” Mrs. Herman Kotzchmar,
in the November Ladies’ Horne
Journal, writes most interestingly of
Paderewski—in fact, she gives a bi
ography of the early career of the fa
rnous pianist, in which tragedy, ro
mance and pathos play conspicious
parts. She tells of Paderwski’s
courtship and marriage, of his ex
treme poverty, of his wife’s great de
votion and supreme belief that he
would rise to distinction in the musi
cal world, and of her pathetic death,
leaving an infant to his care. One
reading the story can readily account
for the melancholy that has come in
to the great pianist’s life. Never
before have these chapters of Padere
wski’s life been given to the public,
and they will be read with the keen
est interest They surely attest the
veracity of the venerable adage:
“Truth is stranger than fiction.”

God’s Giving.
One of the things for which we
ought to be most grateful is, that
God will not give us what he knows
is not best for us*even if we ask for
it over and over again. And one
prayer that we can always pray in all
sincerity and faith is, that God will
refuse to give us what is not good,
when we do ask for it.

Our Lot in Life.
One of Christ's pasture fields is our
providential lot in life. The place
we live in and the circumstances that
surround us are not accidental; Ood
has chosen the place and ordered
the circumstances. Whatever it may
be there si no doubt that the best
condition for us at present is the con
dition in which we find ourselves.
Life is a school, and the lessons
taught in the curriculum are varied,
requiring sometimes gentle influences
sometimes sternness and severity.
If we are God's children we are al
ways under our Father's guidance.
Since God has chosen our place for
us, and guides us always, every path
leads to pasture. Even though it be
along ableak road that He taketh us,
and through a desert, yet everywhere
the shepherd finds handfulls of ricli
food for us. Sick rooms are often
spiritual garden spots. Trials that
wither earth's greenness reveal heav
enly luxuriance. So we always find
pasture unless we refuse the divine
guidance and goodness. There is an
exquisite touch in the shepherd psalm
referring to the pasture fields: “He
maketh me to lie down in the green
pastures.” It is not feeding but ly
ing down to rest after feeding is sug
gested. The picture is very beauti
ful. it telis of satisfaction, of quiet
rest, of perfect peace. God's chil
dren need to learn this lesson, too;
they need to lie down to rest some
times as well as to feed.

Signature of
Knowledge Of Holiness.
While an unconciousness of sin
may not be proof of absolute free
dom from its inbeing, yet it is a
blessed evidence of some gracious
fact, when.one who has long oft been
conscious of uprisings, disturbances,
inward friction and division in the
realm of the tempers, the affections,
the desires of the will, is no longer
conscious of such facts, even under
circumstances of dreadful occasion
and temptation, but is, on the other
hand, conscious of a deep, all per
vading peace, purity, patience and a
forgiving, tender spirit. We say the
unconsciousness of sin and the con
sciousness of something very different
from sin and from ourselves in times
of trial and at all times certainly evi
dences, at least, the expulsive powir
of anew affection.

Ingersoll’s Defiance.
I do not thank God for the victory
at Manila; I thank Dewey the brav
est Admiral that ever trod a deck; I
thank the brave men and officers un
der him; Ido not thank God. Ido
not thank God for the destruction of
Cervera's fleet: I thank the heroes;
1 thank the regulars, white and black;
1 thank the men in the trenches; the
volunteers, the Rough Riders, the
wounded and maimed: I thank the
worn and fainting; I thank them all,
the living ami the dead.—Robert In
gersoll's Chicago Lecture.
These ate the blasphemous words
of Robert Ingersoll uttered in Chica
go at the very hour when preachers
and statesmen were proclaiming
thanks to the God of Battles, who
took charge in a trying hour of the
destinies of this nation and gave us
the victory. It is a great pity that
an agnostic and ingrate should have
been allowed to interject his jarring
and paganlike jargon into a peace
jubilee. The American people are a
Godfearing people. The first act of
the New England settlers was to pro
claim a day of thanksgiving for the
new colony. The picture upon
which America loves to dwell is that
of George Washington kneeling si
lently during the dark hours at Val
ley Forge and pouring out to God in
a spirit of supplication a prayer for
strength and success in battle. The
hero whom southern people most ad
mire is that of the prayerful Presby
terian general who had the piety of
Havelock and the genious of Grom
well. Stonewall Jackson, who was a
“thunderbolt of war,” never neglected
to repair to the altar of his God be
fore he went out to meet the enemy
of his country. Columbus himself,
who discovered the new world, fell
upon his knees when he landed up
on the new found shores and planted
upon its glistening sands the stature
of the True Cross. The figure in
naval victory most characteristic and
most consecrated in the minds of the
American people is that of Captain
Philip, wt o summoned to the deck of
his victorious ship his cheering sail
ors and made them bow their heads
and acknowledge in the hour of tri
umph t,he authority of the Great Cap
tain who brought victory to the llag.
In the face of all this we may repeat
in righteous indignation the Bibical
question, “Why do the heathen rage
and the wicked imagine a vain thing?”

Good Sense.
All who piide themselves in being
governed by good sense rather than
by sentiment, influence or even ex
ample o.ight especially to be Christians.
If ever any appeal were made direct
ly and forcibly to common sense, it is
that Christianity. Leaving out of
account at present all considerations
of gratitude, of affection and taking
merely the lower ground of expedi
ency, has not the gospel a right to
every one’s serious attention, and to
his acceptance ? It appeals to every
man in his own behalf. It tells him
that, whatever others may do, he has
himself to look after and provide for.
This is true in religion as in business,
and more true. Others indeed may
concern themselves and may be help
ful. The gospel does not try to de
ceive any one to beguile him. It
does not pretend that to he a
Christian always is easy, and his ob
servation teaches him better than to
believe that. Nor does it hold out
to him the prospect of immediate
perfect happiness, or'{of any other
kind of reward, as a bait, although it
does assure him that in the end he
will rejoice in being a Christian. It
treats him fairly and frankly as a
man deserves to be treated. It tells
him that he ought to be a Christian.
Let him do his duty, and let hap
piness take care of itself. ' It tells
him that he will have a hard fight
against evil as long as he lives, but |
that it is more sensible to accept this j
fact and to make his fight manfully,
with the Heavenly aid which he will
have, than to shrink from it or refuse
to consider it. In a word, in spirit,
n fact, and in method the gospel ap
