The Bible is a warm letter of ages' tion from a parent to a eland and yet s soothing the where, f the culture of the one boy, g manner keeps on until. after there are many who see chiefly e, or c s i awhile,, severer passages,' As there may be all the others have been sobbed.

That child has caused the mother ; around us. Then we want God to that announce the indignation of God more anxious nights than all the other soothe us, to bush us to sleep. Let the than by those who announce His af- children.

God is a dung, But hear also that God its Love. A father and his child are walking out. in the fields on a summer's day, and there comes up a thunder storm, and there is a flash of lightning that startles the child, and the father says, "My dear, that is God's eye. " There comes a peal of thunder, and the father says, "My dear, that is God's voice." But the clouds go off the sky, and the storm is gone, and light. floods the heavens and floods the landscape, and the father forgets to say, "That is God's ezni.el' The text of the morning bends with great gentleness and love over ;all who are prostrate in sin and trouble, It lights up with con;paseion• It melts with tenderness. It breathes upon us the hush of an eternal lullaby, for it announces that God is our another. "Au one whom his mother comforteth, iso 'will I comfort you." I remark in the .first place, that God has a mother's simplicity, of instruc- tion. A father does not 'know how to teach a child the A.B.C. Men, are not skilful in the primary .department; but a mother has so much patience that she will tell a child for *the hundredth time the difference between F and G, and between I and J. Though we are told a thing a thousand times, and we do not understand it, our `heavenly Mother goes on, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and:there a little. God has been teaching some of us thirty years, and soma of us sixty years, one word of one syllable, and we do not know it yet—faith, faith. 'w When e come to that word we stumble, we bolt, we lose our place, we pronounce it wrong. Still, God's pati- ence is not exhausted. God, our Mother, puts us in the, school of pros- perity, and the letters are in sunshine, and we cannot spell them. God puts us In the school of adversity, and the let- ters are black, and we cannot spell them. If God were merely a king, He would punish us; if ,;He' .were simply a father, He would whip as; but God is a mother, and so 'tivei'are borne with and helped all the way through. God wishes to set forth the fact that sus! Far (rain thee Thy kindred and their graves may be; But Rhine is still a Maned sleep, From which none- ever wake to weep. A Scotebman was dying. His daugh- ter Nellie sal by the. hedeide. It was Sunday evening, and the bell of the church was rin> in , calling the eeonle to church., iii goad oici man, in his dying room, thought that he was on the way to church, as he used to be when he went in the sleigh atones the river; and as the evening hell strock up, in his dying dream lie thought it was the call to church. He said•",lark, ebildren, the bells are rinsing; we shad, be late; we must snake the mare step out quirk!" He shivered, and then said, "'Pull the buffalo robe up closer, my lass! It is cold crossing. the river; bet we will soon be there, Nellie, we will soon be there!" And he smiled and said, "Just there now." No wonder he smiled. The good old man had got to church. Not the old country church. but the temple in the skies. Just across the river. How comfortably did God bush that old man to sleep! As one whom his mother comforteth, so God coonfor'keth him." Yell „ xo mother' smiles; she knows it is so. So lie ought to be ; for if there is anyone in the world that needs sympathy more than another, it is an invalid child, weary on the first anile of life`s jour- ney ; carrying an aching head, a weak side, an irritated lung. So the, mother ought to make him afavorite, God, our Mother, has favorites, " Whom the Lord toroth be ehasteneth," This is, one whom He especially loves He chasteneth. God love, us all; 'but is there one weak and sick. and sore, and wounded and sufferig and faint That is the one who lies nearest and more perpetually on the great, loving heart of God. Why it never coughs but our Mother, God, hears it. It never lairs a weary limb in the bed, but our Mother, God, knows it. There is no such a watcher as God. The best nurse may be overborne by fatigue, and fall asleep in the chair, but God, our Met -ser, after being up a year of nights with a suffering child, never slumbers or sleeps. in the judgment the good will be divided from the wicked. How is it done? By a picture; by a parable --a fishing scene. A group of hardy men, long -bearded, geared for standing to the waists in water; sleeves rolled up. Long oar, sungilt; boat battered as though ie had been a playmate of the storm. A full net, thumping about with the fish, which have just discover- ed their captivity, the worthless moss - bunkers and useful flounders all in the same net. The fisherman put his hand down amid the squirming fins, takes out the moss -bunkers and throws them Into the water, and gathers the good fish into the pail. So says Christ, it shall he at the end of the world. The bad He will oast away and the good He will keep. Another picture, God, our Mother, wanted to set forth the duty of neighborly love, and it is done by a picture. A heap of wounds on the road to Jericho. A traveler has been fighting a robber. The robber stabbed him and knocked him down. Two ministers.come along. They look at the poor fellow', but do not help bun. A traveler comes along -a Sama- ritan. He says, "Whoa!" to the beast be is riding, and dismounts. He ex- amines the wounds; he takes out some wine, and with it washes the wounds, and then he takes some oil and puts that in to make the wound stop.smart- ion, and then he tears of a piece of his own garment for a bandag then he helps the wounded manupon beast, and walks by the aide, holding him on until they come to a tavern. He says . to the landlord, "Here is money to pay the man's board for two days; take care of him; if it costs anything more, charge it to me, and I will pay it." Pictere—the Good Samaritan, or Who is Your Neighbor? Does God, our Mother, want to set forth what a foolish thing it is to go away from the r' ht, and how glad 'divine mercy is to take back the ic- wanderer wanderer? no wi,s it done?

The father cannot eat ter laokinpl at the returned adventurer Dears running down the face until they come to a smile—the night dew melting inbo the morning.' No work on When.I see God especially busy in troubling and trying a Christian, I know that out of that Christian's char- acter there is to come some especial good. After a while the mantle of affliction will fall off, and his soul will be greeted by the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the thousands of thousands, as more than conqueror. Oh, my friends, God, our mother, is just as kind in our afflictions as our prosperities. God never touches us but for our good. If a field clean and cul- tured is better off than a barren field, and if a stone that has become a statue is better off than the marble in the quarry, then that soul that God chastens may be his favorite. Oh, the rocking of the soul is not the rocking of an earthquake; but the rocking of God's candle. " As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you." I have been told that the pearl in an oyster is merely the result of a wound, or a sickness inflioted upon it, and I do not know but that the birght- est gems of heaven will be found to have been the wounds of earth kindled into the jeweled brightness of eternal glory. I remark that God has a mother's eapaoity for attending to little hurts. The father is shocked at the broken bone of the child, or at the sickness that sets the cradle on fire with fever, beat it takes the mother to sympathize with all the little ailments and little bruises of the child. If the child have a splinter in its hand, it wants the mother to take it out, and not the father. The father says: "Oh, that is nothing," bat the mother knows it is something, and that a little hurt some- times is very great. So with God, our Mother ; all our annoyances are im- portant enough to look and sympathize with. Nothing with God is something. There are no cyphers in God's arith- metic. And if we were only good enough of sight, we could see as much through a microscope as through a telescope. Those things that may be impalpable and infinitesimal to us, may be pro - =Aimed and infinite to God. I remark further that God has a mo- ther's patience for the erring. If one does wrong first. his associates in life cast him off ; if he goes on in the wrong way, his business partner casts him off ; if he goes on, his best friends cast him off—his father casts him off. lint after all others have cast him off, where does he go? 'Who holds no grudge, and forgives the last time as well as the first.f Who sits by the murderer's counsel all through the long trial? Who tarries the longest at the window of a culprit's cell? Who, when all others think ill of amen, keeps on thinking well of him ? ft is his mother. God bless her gray hairs, if she be still alive, and bless her grave if she be gone. And bless the rocking chair in which she used to rock, and bless the Bible she used to read! So God our Mother has patience for all the erring. After everybody else has cast a man off, God, our Mother, comes to the res- cue. God leapt to take charge of a bad case. After all the other doctors have got through, the heavenly Physi- cian comes in. Human sympathy at such a time does not amount to much. Even the sympathy of the church, I am sorry. to say, often does not amount to mach. I have seen the most harsh and bitter treatment on the part of those who professed faith in Christ toward those who were wavering and erring. They tried an the wanderer sarcasm and billingsgate and cares - tare, and they tried the tittle tattle. thing There, was one they did not try, and that was forgiveness. A soldier sant England rain hal bya sergeant d was b g Ian in Ian g g to the Colonel. "What,,, says the Col- onel, f 1 oriel, "bringing the man here again! We have tried. everything with him. "Oh, no," says the. sergeant, "there ss one thing you have not tried. I would like you to try that." "What is that"? or theman! "For- giveness," said the Said n giveness, " The case, had not gone so far but that it might' taste that turn,. and so the Colonel said. "Well, young en have '.done so and so.- What iman, ys yoke . excuse I" "I have no ex- cuse, butt I am seery,' said the man. We have, made up our minds to for - glee you," said the Colonel. The tears. started. 'Hb had never been accosted in that way before. His life, was re- famed, e- orxq f ed,,and that ' was the starting point for a positively 'f�hristan soccer. Oh, . church. of God, quit your ;sarcasm where a man falls! Quit your irony, quit you tittle tattle and try forgiveness. God ydur Mother, tries it all the time. A, COUNTRY LIFE. Some people seem to think that coun- rty life is very dull, and that there are few things of interest there; but mast certainly they belong to the class of people who find little or no interest in anything. For in a great many ways country life is more desirous than city life, and there are things of interest there. It is to the country' that the artist goes to copy nature's work. It is to the country that nature's poet goes. It is there where nature in its real beauty can be enjoyed, that the sick are sent and the city people spend their vacation. The people in the country are not% all backwoodsmen, for we find that many of our great men choose rural districts for their homes c And al- though we often hear stories of "coun- try cousins" --what they say and how they act—they surely show their ig- norance no more of the city than the city cousins do of the country, for they are often heard to ask such questions as "Which trees do the onions grow, on I" The country girl, it is true, does not have the opportunities of society The country girl, it is true, does pleasures that city society cannot af- ford, and pleasures that are more healthful, and, in many cases, more en, joyable. A great deal of the city girl's time is taken up in her social affairs,, while the country .girl finds time to make herself useful in parlor or kit-, Chen, and, if necessary, she is not, afraid to help her brothers make hay.- Yes, she does dress odd, but as fashion, in a great many cases, is deformity,, her dress is really the more sensible. And the country boy, you say, "Hee is so awkward!" that may be true t but it does not always take the polished airs and manners, which we find in some city lads, to make the man. It is with a feeling of freedom that he enters into the sports common to boys,, and not with fear of his ball bounding through someone's window. ,Educational advantages are not in the country what they are in the town but it is from the country that the vigorous lassies and robust lads come; and is it not better to start out in, life with a strong constitution and, mind capable of grasping, ideas, than with a somewhat trained intellect and a constitution that will not acln:l.. the use of the intellect. It is the pure,, balmy air and the better observance of nature's laws that tends to give the country youth and maiden a sound phy-, sique. One thing that is very noticeable in a country child is how well •the power, of observation is trained. :Every, country boy can tell you something of the habits of the birds and wild ani- mals he is accustomed to seeing. He knows where the squirrel builds its nest, and hew• to track and trap the rabbit, Some baa nicely said: "Thrice hap- py is the country child or the one who can spend a part of his young life among living things near to nature's heart." - ` e r r ,'�.s �,i, .
