. “Wfjen'l am *veak -then ain I
strong,!’ This wan the testimony of
one wli6 did not easily learn to tely
upon God for help in the time of
trouble. The ajiostle did n t get to"
this stage of grace without many and
repeated struggles. Yet ho finally
did come to just this point when he
could truly say that God's way of
helping was manifest'd in his weak
ness quite as fully ns in his strength.
When his self-sufficiency uad de
parted from him, the grace of the
I.ord was ready to assist him.
God helps many of ns sometimes in
this singular manner. We are set
liack in order that we may go for
ward, and cast down before we can
become uplifted. We would start
from just where we are. God sees
fit to place us in another position, in
order that we may run aright when
we do set forth on the way he has
planned for us to go.
And it is in this discipline of change
of circumstances we find our faith
sometimes sorely tried. Times and
seasons of change are always trying
ones. There are so many of the old
ways to he gotten rid of before we
can experiance the new, or perhaps,
we should say, reap the full benefit
of the new, that we almost doubt,
while in the immediate stress of trails
ition, whether the new will ever bring
with it any thing which can benefit
us. We flounder helpless in the
quagmire of our difficulties before
we learn to cry out unto the Lord to
aid us. Then when we do not get
to this point of weaknes, so often
does the word of the Lord come true
even to us. When we are weak then
are we, too, strong—strong in the
strength and might of the Lord, who
proves himself ready to do great
and mighty things for us.
Again, God helps us in many un
looked-for ways. We think the help
certainly comes through some well
known channel, else how can it come
at all? God knows there are ways
we see not, and in using different
means from what we expected he
shows us most conclusively that his
hand has beeiv guiding the affair all
the while. How many instances of
this kind do we notice in the annals
of the Fulton Street Prayer meeting,
the thirty-third anniversary of which
has lately been observed.
Blessings temporal and spiritual
have been showered upon that com
pany of earnest seekers after God’s
help, w ho have learned through these
years of discipline that (Tod’s ways
are manifold, but that he fails not in
answering the petitions, and supply
ing the tleeds of those who call upon
him ill sincerity and truth. Needs of
both body and soul are laid before
him with an earnestness born of an
assurance that in some way the peti
tion will be attended to by the Most
High. Answered prayeis are the
rule and not the exception in the
Fultou Street Prayer-meeting. That
is, the answers are signal, and those
benefited return thanks very often,
which serves to act ns an encourage
ment to others to ask whatsoever
they will, believing.
Ami again, in the jiereonal life of
all true Christians how 7 often are God’s
ways made manifest by the most un
expected ways of helping them
through darkness and trial. When
the w r ay is so dark or so hedged in
that there is no light on the path, or
seemingly no way out of our difficul
ties, then help reaches us in the most
unexpected fashion. And we learn
from it all the strength of our God,
who can aid us when we are helpless
quite as well as when we are full of
vigor. His compassions, indeed, fail
not They are new every morning
and fresh every evening, and his
mercies ever overshadow us like a
cloud, while wo lift up our hearts and
know that God is still mighty to' suc
cor, and will give us his aid in his
own time and way.—Christian at
Work.
The homely truths of the gospel
are too simple; they must be spiced
with science. The bread of lite is
too coarse; we must leaven it with
.worldly wisdom, “shorten” it with
*wit, flavor it with rhetoric. The
crude doctrines of the gospel are too
sharp; we musf the two
edged sword w.ith flowers. The holi
ness of the gespcl js too severe, too
ascetic, its repentance is too bitter,
we. must pu in sugar to make it
palatahlo. Its themes :rre too awful,
too solemn; we must put in fun, and
ju&c abopj them! Such are the dc
mahdapf the worjd.—R. C. L.Chilton.

A Utllnn Kucltr.fi Paper Arcane* Thera
of firing Dazy *ml Kelfiali.
A careful and, so far as we have been
able to compass it, an impartial study
of the ycung man of the present day
has convinced many persons that he is
abnormally lazy, arid that bis selfish
ness is without parallel in any other
pei kxl of our history. A concurrence
of the two vices is to be traced, they
think, to the fact that he has almost
ceased, or at any rate he is rapidly
ceasing, to dance. .It is in vain that
he will plead the absorbing occupations
of modem life, or the saddening in
fluence of the philosophy of Schopen
hauer. The plea is idle.
It is not the overwrought student or
tho pale pessimist alone who declines
nowadays to join in the mazy dance.
It is tho dashing, or once dashing, mili
taire. The singular boast which was
once the monopoly of the Tenth hus
sars will soon be the common property
of every cavalry and infantry regiment
of her majesty’s army, while as for the
learned professions, their members
make fresh contributions to the row of
“wall flowers” every season.
Yet there seems to be no ground for
saying tiiat girls aro any less fond of
dancing than they used to be; the
partner difficulty is created by the male
sex alone. In other words, the young
man of tho present day, having ceased
to jare about this particular amuse
ment himself, is in the majority of
caw's too indolent and too selfish to
take part in it for the sako of gratifying
other persons of that sex which it is
supposed to Is) man’s duty, no less than
his delight, to attempt to please. Such
self sacrifice, however, finds no votary
in the fin de siecle youth. To use his
own expressive phrase, it is “not good
enough, don’t you know,” and he de
clines it accordingly.
Tlie “wretch concentrated all on
self” looks on at a few dances, and sur
veys the rows of forlorn and unasked
maidens who line the sides of the ball
room and leaves early for a cigarette
and a lemon squash at bis club. We
are prepared, of course, for the answer
which our young man of tlie period,
thus “roughly but righteously han
dled,” is likely to make to us. He will
say that this is Word for word—except
as to the cigarette and lemon squash
identical with what his grandfather
once listened to from his great grand
father and repeated some thirty years
after to his father.
There is a speciousness about •this
argument which might, perhaps, de
ceive tho unthinking, and it is there
fore well to remind them of the well
established fact that the grandfather
of the youth of the present day, al
though worthy people in many ways,
were extremely prejudiced, whereas
their sons, tho fathers and uncles of
our contemporary young men, aro ad
mittedly capable of instituting a fair
and impartial comparison between the
men and manners of thg ■ present and
the past.
Instead of resorting to plausible but
fallacious retorts of tho ad homineni
description wo counsel our youths to
resolvo to cultivate tho virtues of cour
tesy, kindliness and self sacrifice to
others, to determine that they will dis
play in future a chivalrous attention
to Indies und register a vow that elders
of their own sex shall never fail to re
ceive from them the duo tribute of
deference and respect.—London Tele
