never wear out. The pleasures of this world soon die; but the enjoyments of that world will never have an end. The crown of glory will never wear out. The crown of the winner in the Olympic games soon faded ; the crowns of kings will all wear out; but the crown of glory will never fade away. (1 Peter v : 4). The “new song” will never wear out.— We hear sometimes that some of our tunes are worn’threadbare ; but that will never be said of the new song. Which will you choose? The lasting, or that which wastes away ? The things of time, or eternity ? Will you choose wealth, honor, fame, or the joys of heaven, eternal life, the crown of glory, and the “ new song ?” May God enable us to make a wise choice, and, with Joshua, may we choose to serve the Lord. Way-side Hearers. “ Their ears are dull of hearing.’’ The words of the preacher make no impression upon them. They fall as seed falls upon the hard trodden foot-path. Indeed, it is al most a misnomer to call such frequenters of the sanctuary, hearers. They do not hear; and they are only so called by courtesy, be cause they occupy seats that hearers ought to occupy. Some other object than hearing the word has brought them to the house of God; and they go thence as void of the truth as when they enter. Now “ faith com eth by hearing”—not by frequenting the house of God—not by occupying seats there. The careless, indifferent manner in which so many hear the truths of God’s word, when they come up to the sanctuary, must be ex ceedingly offensive to Him. It must excite 11 is indignation more than almost any course they could pursue. Think ot their relation ship to Him—the creatures of his hand, so “ fearfully and so wonderfully made”—the rebels against Ilis government, richly de serving Isis severest displeasure—the objects pf‘ Ilis redeeming mercy in Christ, whom He loved notwithstanding their sin, and to whom lie hath been for years extending the calls and claims ol the gospel —there sitting before his ambassador, without a thought of what he is saying ! And do such heedless wretches live, preserved too by Him towards whom they are thus acting! There are such, doubtless, in almost every promiscu ous congregation that assembles for the wor ship of God These are they “ who receive seed by the way-side.’’ Is there any course so offensive, when man speaks to man, as for him who is ad dressed to turn from the speaker, heedless and indifferent to his words ? To listen, and object; to hear respectfully, and excuse oneself for disobeying; to acknowledge the truth of what is spokeu, but plead time ere you comply; any course of this kind is less offensive, less rude, we might have said with no great impropriety, than to stop your ears to the message, or refuse to listien to its pur port, or to consider it respectfully its truth or falsehood. The common courtesy of life demands of you, when you enter the house of God, that you hear what is said —that you attend to that which is the' proper busi ness of the house of God. Present not a hard beaten soil for the seed of the word to fall upon. Carry from the sanctuary some distinct impression of what has been said. He, at least, “hearers of the word.” < »» » ■■ ■ ■■ All Things Speak of Jesus. Did you ever think how every part of your house can remind you of the great truths which Jesus Christ has taught about him self? The corner stone says, “ Christ is the Corner-stone;’’ the door, “I am the Door;” the burning candle, “ Christ is the light of the world.’’ You look out of the window, and the sight of the starry sky bids you turn your eyes to “ the bright and Morning Star.’’ The rising sun speaks of the “ Sun of right eousness, with healing in his wings.” The loaf on your table whispers of the “ bread of life,” and the water which quenches your thirst, “I am the water of life.” When you lie down, you think of Him who had not where to lay his head; and when you arise you rejoice that He is “ the resurrection and the life.” For Thee and Me. —There is an old tale, of which, though idle in itself, the use may be good. A certain man who would never go to church, when he heard the saint’s bell, would say to his wife, “ Go thou to church, and pray for thee and me.” One night he dreamed that both he and his wife were dead, and that they knocked together’ at heaven’s gate for entrance. St. Peter (by the legend) is the porter, and suffered the wife to enter in, but kept the husband out, answering him, “ she is gone in both for herself and thee. As thy wife went to church for thee, so must she go to heaven fur thee.” Cjiiltoit. My Little Brother. Mr. Editor : Will you please put this lit tle notice in your paper. lam a little girl only nine years old ; you do not know me, but Papa has been taking your paper a long time. I read a great many pretty stories in the Advocate. Respectfully, M. L. My dear little brother, Thomas J. Liv jngston, died Nov. 27th, 1860, aged two years and seven months. On Wednesday before he was taken sick, Papa asked him where our little brother Wyclie was. He answered, “i n Heaven ” and raised up his sweet little hands to show Papa where Heaven was. We did not think then he would leave us so soon. All the time he was sick, he was so good and obedient. He would take the medicine for Papa and his Doctor, and would say so often, “ me want my Pa,’’ and when Papa would leave him, he would look toward the door and say “ where is my Pa ? me want my Pa.” For two days before he died he wanted Papa or the Doctor with him all the time. The day before he died he said, “Mamma where is Oola?”—that was sister Lula. A few hours before he died, he put his little arms around Mamma’s neck and kissed her. He afterwards called Papa to him, and put his arms around his neck and said, “ Pa, take me.” That was the last thing he said. We all loved him so much, and wanted to keep him with us; but the good Lord took him from us and carried him to heaven. Maud Livingston. Oeklawilla, Madison county , Fla. THE GREAT BOOK. Little Charley Green had learned his Sunday-school lessons, and recited them to his mother, quite early one Saturday after noon ; then being anxious to join his play mates, he threw his books hastily down and ran off. Towards evening he came in rather tired, and sitting down by his mother; felt quite in the humor for a little chat before tea time. “ Do you know what the Koran is, Char ley ?” asked Mrs. Green. “Why, yes, mother,” said Charley in surprise, “it is the religious book of the Mo hammedans; I believe it was written by their prophet Mahomet.” “Well the Mohammedans reverence it so much that they will not step on a piece of paper for fear of trampling on some verse of the Koran which may be written on it. — Hut I saw my dear little boy throw down his Hible in a chair this afternoon, just as if it was a thing of no value, and so care lessly, that it dropped on the floor.’’ “ Oh, I am so sorry, mother, I will go and put my books away now,” said Charley, rising as he spoke. •‘ I have put them away, my son ; but what I wish you to notice is, that ycu can not value this precious book as you should, or you could not handle it so caielessly.— Seme years ago, I called on a lady, and be fore she came out, her little daughter, about three years old, who was with me in the parlor, to amuse me I suppose, kept bring ing little things from the table, and some of the books for me to look at. Then going back to the table, and pointing to a Hible that lay there, she said, ‘I must not touch that, for that is God’s book.’ This dear little girl had been taught to reverence God’s word, and she would not even touch it. Do you remember, too, what you read, only a few days ago, about a pious young prince and the Bible ?” “Yes, ma’am, it was Edward the VI. of England, who one day wanted a book in the library, which was too high for him to reach. A nobleman present put a large Bi ble on the floor for him to stand on, in or der to reach it; but Edward drew back and said, he would not on any account, put his foot on God’s holy book. Hut mother, when I threw down the books to-day, I did not remember that one was the Hible,” “ I know that, my son ; but we should try to keep in mind that the Bible is God’s word —letters from the Great Creator to his children on earth. There are thousands of good and useful books ; but this is the only one that is really necessary for us ; and we should no 1- , because there are a great many Bibles in the world, look upon it as a com mon book. We cannot be thankful enough that each can possess one for himself, and read it, when and where he pleases. We do not have to bury it, or hide it in a secret panel of our houses, or in the hollow tree, or under a stone in the woods, or in some little cave, as many had to do in times of persecution, and then read it only as they could by stealth.’’ “ And why did they have to do so then, mother.’’ “ They have had to do this in many coun tries where it was forbidden to read the Bible; and many in whose houses it was found, were imprisoned—sometimes for life; some were tortured, and some were burned to death. The great German reformer, Mar tin Luther, had never seen a Bible when he was 20 years of age, and aid not 'know that it contained anything more than these por tions of the gospels and epistles which he had been accustomed to hear in the public services. He was at this time in the Uni versity at Erfurth; and was one day looking over the books in the library, when he came across a Bible. He happened to open to the story of Hannah and Samuel; and, with as tonishment and delight read how Hannah had asked God for this son, and then had lent him to the Lord—saying, ‘as long as he liveth, he shall be lent to the Lord :’ and carried him to be brought up under the old priest Eli; and every year took him a little coat which she had made for him. Then he reaj how this good child, while praying one night before lying down on his bed to sleep, heard God call him ‘Samuel ! Samuel!’— And when Eli had taught him how to reply, he answered, ‘Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth ;’ and God spoke to Samuel, and told him what would come to pass. Luther read on and on, all the beautiful story; and he came again aud again to read that won derful book.” “Did he always have to go to the* library when he wanted to read it, mother ?’’ “ Yes, at that time he did; and after wards, when he became a monk, he found another Bible, which was chained, and he always had to go to that too to read; but some years afterwards, a good friend of his named Staupitz, gave him a Bible, and he could keep that in his cell, and reau it as often as he pleased.” “ Were there very few Bibles then, mother ?” “ There were but few, and they cost so SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE much that only the wealthy could own them; and they were in Latii, or Hebrew and Greek, so only the learned could read them. But when Luther found oat the Bible, and learned the value of it, he and «ome other learned men translated it into German ; and soon, in spite of prince and priests, the Bi ble was put in the hands of the oommon people, and many martyrs in Germany gave up their lives joyfully, rather than give up the great truths they had learned from it.’’ “I am glad you have told me these things, mother; I will try and remember always, that the Bible is a Message from God to us, or letters which he has written to us. I am sure I would not let those letters dear father wrote to me before he was killed be thrown about the house, uor let my Bible either.” “ But remember dear Charley, we honor God’s word most by obeying it. There are many who prize it for its beautiful stories, or its authentic histories, or its poetical lan guage, who have never learned its value. — The poet Burns, could never read the beau tiful description of heaven, in the last chap ter of Revelation without weeping; and yet poor fellow! we fear he never found the only road that leads poor sinners there. But we have talked long enough now, and there is the tea bell.” And no doubt, our young readers thinks Mrs. Green and Charley have said enough ; so we will only add the earnest wish, that each one of them may learn, not only to reverence, but to love God’s book, and that it may ever be “A lamp unto their feet and a light unto their path ™L,h A A.
