Christian people, and espeoially those who profess to teaoh others, should culti- vate a cheerful spirit, gloom and Melan- choly are not the allies of true religion, Some people are in the habit of saying that the past was better than the present days that we live in. I suppose there may be some truth in the remark, wee - frilly with reference to those of us who are getting old, and far removed from the plane of our nativity, for, be it a weak- ness, it deserves some praise that we love the place of our early days. As our thoughts wander bank over our childhood days and S. S. days it brings to our mind a pleasing remembrance. Then the cares and troubles of the world sat lightly upou ns ; those hallowed 000I1es with the Dare and kindness of parents and S. S. teachers, still cling to the mem- ory like the music of a better world, Still, to say that the former days were better than now is not wise, as the Bible puts it, rather let us say "The linea have fallen unto us in pleasant planes, We have a goodly heritage." At no time in the history of the world has Christian life displayed itself fu so many various activities. It is only of late years that the church is beginning to wake up to her duty as a missionary institution, and the S. S. get- ting its proper place in relation to the church, and S. S. teachers learning their true place in relation to their classes ; it is also to be hoped that parents are learn- ing more and more their duty in relation to their children. All these instrumentalities work out an amount of moral and spiritOalgoodgreat- er than we can calculate. But while we rejoice in this, still there are evil influen• ccs at work that are oounteraoting much of the good work, espeoially in reference to the teaching of the young. The Anglican Bishop ofJerusalem, in it There is around us a good deal of in- letter to Friday's Times, gives some facts difference to Divine things ; manifest in- which show that the Jews are pouring consistencies in some who bear the name . into Palestine. About one hundred of Christ, thousand Jews have entered the Holy Land during the last few years, and "the arrival of a vaster host is imminent." "No one," he goes on, "can possibly fore - oast the next seven years of Jewish im- migration." If the Bishop's view of what is going 001 is oorreot, we are faoe to face with a faoe that may revolutionize the polities of the Mediterranean Asia. Al- ready tba railways are opening up the country between the coast and Jerusalem and Damascus, and if a Jewish immigra- tion on a large scale is added'to this, Sy- ria may become once moreoneof the most important places in the East. The idea of the Jewa again possessing a country is a very curious one. it should only be used ae a meanie to that end, • Se ovary tree and faithful 0810011er who 10 m14eevoring by Divine help to live to the glory of Cod, their earnest prayer and chief desire will be to be used 100 the moans of bringing oaoh member of their (double the seine happy relationship• fn which they stand themeelv98*nothing short of union and aomalunion with the Lord Jesus Christ 1 and like the beloved apostle nothing will give them greater joy than to see their Aitken walking in the Truth, . Nothing less sllculd satisfy than the winning of the children early to a life 0010100 for Christ. This should bo the aim and hope of every tuella': in impart- ing religious instruction. If disappoint. meat should be the result in score in. stances, still the 111008 enough to encourage us 1181 the fact that the early oonlmuuioe. Mon of Christian knowledge is a ground of hope that the time will come when it will be the means of a saving 0bang0. There are many instances on record, and no doubt many that have never been recorded, wllieh go to show that although the good send that hes boon planted in early youth may lie hidden away for a time, yet under some genial, kindly is. fluenos directed and applied by the Holy Spirit the seed takes root, springs up and been fruit, sometimes even in old ago, Next what are we to teach ? In the first plane wo should be living examples of what we heaoh. Children are close observers anti inconsistencies in the life will nullify oar boob efforts. Then we are to teach God's Word, not our word. There is life in the Word. Some of the learned critice who are rising up tow• a•days would fain make us believe that there are so many errors in the Word it is not to be depended on. They tell to look to Christ, but whore are we to find Christ if not in his own Word ? Am I not correct in saying that the Good Shep- herd first finds us in our sins, and we find Jesus Christ in the promises of Hie own work. Jesus Christ and his Redemption are the great subjeete of the whole of the Bible ; patriarchs, prophets, types, oero- monies and history all point to the miming Messiah, the Desire of all nations. We must bring before the sobolare the living Word, and a present living personal Say. iour. "There is life for a look at the Crucified One," and as t said before if we would bo wise in wiuning souls, wo must reflect the Christ -life in gentleness, kind. ness, humility and love. We feel our weakness and we say, "Who is sufficient for these things ? Our help must come from above. There will be no 0000000 in the work but as the Spirit accompanies the Work. The Holy Spirit comes in answer to prayer. If our heavenly Father engages by so many precious promises to give the Spirit, ib is a sure evidenoe that the person and work of the, Spirit is needed so thatwithout the Spirit to apply the truth the results of our teaching will be but spiritual Gilboa's, there will be neither dew or rain nor fields of offerings, while there will be diecour- agements, yet let us not be weary in well• doing resting assured that God's work never fails. What an inestimable privilege S. S. teachers enjoy in being permitted to bear a small part in the world wide work of our blessed Master ? What an honor in being the means of bringing even one poor eonl from a state of darkness into the light of the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jerusalem and the .Pews. Is there not more or less a kind of half• heartedness about us all, in not living and acting in euoh a way as to justify the profession we make ? For the past half of my own life 1 have been continually aiming at being better and doing better, but alas how little progress is made. Our motto should be "More like Christ 1 More like Christ." Now, as regards S. S. inatrnotion, its true or ohief object. No doubt there has been in the past, and it is possible there may be some teacbere still, who are working away, well meaning it may be, but having no definite aim or object be- fore them. Such are not likely to prove a success in the true sense of S. S. work. Instances will mow to your minds in the business world of men who had all ma- terial advantages in their favor yet their life being aimless proved a complete fail. are. On the other hand many insbanoes might be mentioned of others who from small beginnings, but having one object in view, and with thorough honesty of purpose have risen to the very pinnacle of success. And so the S. S. teaohers, who would seek euceess in their work, must be thoroughly in earnest, honest in purpose, having the one chief objeoteonetantly be• fore them and bonding all their energies to the attainment of that object. The question is the true or ohief object of instruction. To my mind it is, as it should be, a co-operating with the parents in relation to what the children have been taught, or should have been taught at home. The S. S. ie not intended as a eubsti- tate or to usurp the place of home in. straotion, except in oases where the reli- gious education of the obildren has been neglected. But it comes in as it helpin the way of supplementing, encouraging, fostering and deepening the good impres• sione that have been received in the home, not only on the Sabbath, but by precept and example through all the days of the week, Iu title Way the good work is carried forward by Parente, teachers and pastors, all working hand in hand harmoniously together for the attainment of the one all important object, instructing, training and building up those precious souls for whom the Saviour died. As they grow up becoming trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord destined to bloom forever in the paradise above. There two many good things included in attending S. S, The habit leads on to attending public worship, reverence for sacred thingu, obedience to teachers, learning to read, developing the mind by question and answer, a storing up of Bible knowledge which if properly used will help to fortify the future life. But all these good things are only subsidiary to that grandest of all trau0formations, the regenerating of the soul, being born Prem above. The first question in theoatechism that we use is, "What leman's chief end1" The answer, "Man's chief end into glori- fy God and to enjoy Him forever." So tbief. present life and all that pertains to PATAGONIAN BABIES. The dispensatory of Patagonia knows but two remedies for the diseases of child- ren—animal eking and common yellow clay—both to be used at the same time, whether the disease be in the bead or feet of the little sufferer. On being called to see a sick child, the Patagonian doctor takes with him a tight skin bag, opened at the larger end. Clay is plentiful everywhere. While some member of the family makes a think bat- ter of this yellow earth, the medicine m10n sits staring at the sink child, or else shakes a painted rattle in an idiotic fash- ion before the little one's faoe. When the plaster of clay 29 ready the child is emeared from head to foot with it, and then slipped feet first into the bag before mentioned. Should the child cease crying before this proceeding lute been carried out, it is thought to be a bad 0ign ; an omen that the devil is still lurk• ing in the child, but is keeping quiet for fear of punishment. On the other hand, should the child be• comp calm ao he is being Nagged, the pa- rents and medicine man think that the prince of darkness has left the body in Order to escape imprisonment. In the event of this last named contingonoyarie- ing, the skin bag is immediately closed and tied. The dootor then opens another, bag and throws three pebbles and mine serpents teeth foto it. These are well shaken for a 'moment, the idea being to get the devil to jump into the bag after the oharrn, whereupon 10 is instantly Closed, tied, and sunk in the nearest body of water. After this rite ha0 been carried out to the letter, the bag in which the olaybo- smeared child has been deposited may be opened. If the little one has tot already been smothered through being oonfined In the bag during the incantations of the 1238dicine man, it is thoroughly washed end wrapped in a clean, warm skin, the hide of a "muley" white bull, killed in the new of the moon being preferable. Strange 06 it may 00020, this treatment usually cures, the water being a prime teeter in restoring health, no doubt. Should death en0ne, the doctor tads the bereaved parents that two devils were af- ter the child, and that all the medical science in the world is not equal to the teak of coping with two of the imps of the infernal regions.

A NEIN COLLECTING (110,1111. People get anions fads. I met a man from Maine who had travelled all over the world. He had not made a collection of spoons, stamps, autographs, photo. graphs, nor any of the things that are usually oollected by travellers. He had digressed from the beaten paths and started a new fled, which seems as soma. ble as at least the postage stamp craze. Ire has a coileotion of buttons, hundreds of them, of all sorts, shapes and designs. Buttons from pollee, firemen, coustabui• ary, and soldiery of all countries, cities, towns, as well as buttons from the clothes of f1020oue men. Each button has a his. tory, and a long one, too, as told by the Yankee, so I did not wait to hear much about them. But he had taken the but. ton, surely. It may not be long until the button pranks may become prevalent, and the great men of the land will not be bothered any more by requests for auto- graphs, but it will be :—"Will you kindly Bend me a button from one of your suits?" The prospect of the statesmen of these great United States having to resort to hooks and eye0 in self. defence after hav- ing been deprived of all their buttons to appease the demands of this coming army of cranks luny cause some little joy in the hearts of those who have been wear• ily watching triumphant tomfoolery in Congress. The predicaments which this new craze might cense are endless. We might imagine an over -obliging oolelr'm y being foroed to keep to his room by thoughtlessly gratifying those who flatter. ed his vanity by the asking. No matter how the craze may affect the victims, it is sure to boom the button industry. General Nowa. Latest news from Honolulu reports. everything quiet. General Gutierrez has been proclaimed President of the Republic of Salvador. A. great demonstration against the (louse of Lords was held in Glasgow the other day. A San Soso, Cal , despatch announces that R. E. Dent, brother of Mrs. Gen. Grant, is dead, Tho United States revenue cutter, Bear is fast on the rocks at the entrance of the harbor at Sitlta and is almost a total wreck. W. R. Climie, editor and proprietor of the Bowmanville Sun, and License In- speoter for West Durham, died in that town ou Thursday of last week. Mr. Gladstone has so far recovered from the effeots of the recent, operation he underwent for cataract that be drove out on Saturday in a close carriage. A report was in circulation that a Raymond de Whitecombe excursion par- ty had been wrecked and many killed in the Rocky Mountains. The story is without foundation, as the party was safely quartered Thursday night in the C. P. 11. hotel at Field waiting for the floods to subside. The steamer Ocean collided with the barge Kent five miles below Alexandria Bay early 'Thursday morning and was beaohed and sank to the promenade deck. The barge went down. Two of thelatter's crew were lost. The passengers on the Ocean were all resoued but they lost con- siderable baggage. While Thos. Gould, of West Zorra, was walking over his cornfield the other day he perceived a strangely shaped stone which be picked up and found to be artifically smoothed and formed like a chisel. No doubt this is a retie of former ages, and if it could speak would tell 00 'how the world looked when it was fresh and green,' and could also tell 'what the aborigines used it for, but as it is we can only vague- ly conjecture what such rude and primi- tive tools were used when the roving hun- ter tribes roamed over this country and reigned supreme in its primeval forests.
