It seem° evident that a radical reform in
the popular s apprehensions of religiose
teaohing, if not in' the teaching itself, is
here needed. Since she,eartbly pilgrimage

realize that these were not the exaggera-
tions of petulance or asceticism, but the
simple, natural conditions of spiritual
health, illumination and progress ? What
he required was the disencumbering of , .the
aeal of clop whish embedded it and bore it
heavily earthward. What Christ said of
wealth, its influences and 'proper uses, heed
ne mere local or transitory significance..
It is as true in New England as it was in
Palestine -as true in 1846 as it was in the
year 1.
In truth, wealth employed only or mainly
to snbserve personal ends is in its nature
incompatible with a true lite or with the
parpoee of such a life. The man of sub-
stance who regards his riches as means of
luxury, of elegance, of power (other than
the power to relieve and bless), or of con-
tinuing aeon advantage to his dgiecendente,
is inevitably, palpably beclouded as to the
very purpose for whish life wee given him.
His alms are selfish and grovelling, bis
understanding darkened, hie faltering,
evading, feeble •efforts at goodness are

phire. Hie fealty to Mammon •
EVER CLASH WITH ere DUTY TO GOD.
The true disciple of Christ regards him-
self but dB the steward of whatever worldly
goods Providence has planed in his hands.
From these he is to satisfy the neoeseitiee
of those dependent upon him; ell beyond
belongs to hie Master, and is to be die-
pensed according to His plain directions.
Not that he is compelled to divest himself
to -day of the means of relieving want to-
morrow ; that would be noting the part of a
prodigal and thoughtless steward; bat he
is to disponee or reeerve whatever has been
confided to him with simple reference to
the highest good of all. All that he has
being the rigntful prop-rty of his Creator,
in to be diepeneed according to the model
ever before him in the dispensation of rain
and ennehine. Hewhose sympathies or
benefioent efforts are circumscribed by
any boundary of family, sect, neighborhood
or nation, is moat imperfect in hie obedi'
once to the Father of Lighte. He who ie
content to enjly the finite of other's toil,
rendering mankind little • or no positive
service in return, can be but a very distant,
. follower of the Divine Redeemer.
On no one point is error more oommon
or more vital than on this. A life devoted
mainly to what is deemed innocent, though
selfish enjoyment, is not meetly regarded
as inooneietent with a Ohr;etion profeeeion.

Bile is the girl who has taut enough not
to say the very thing that will cause the
skeleton in her friend's closet to rattle his
bones.
She is the girl who, whether it is warm
or cold, clear or stormy, finds no fault with
the weather.
She is the girl who, when yon invite her

beet.
She is the girl whole sweet and womanly,
to look at and listen to, and who doesn't .
strike you as a poor imitation of a demi-
mondaine. -
She is the girl who makes this world a • •
pleasant plane, because she ie so ' pleasant
herself.
And, by the by, when yon come to think
of it, isn't ehe the girl who makes you feel
she likes you, and therefore, yon like her/?

been seen by tb masses of his subjeote, and
formerly an effort on the part of one of

final death. To 'pronounce the real name
of the Emperor its a capital offence even
now. He is known as. the Son of Heaven.
