A mention of some of the agencies by which heproduces this suspended auimation, may sometimes aid in heading him off, • temporarily at least. One of these is what may be called a backseat prayer -meeting, one iu which the people are so" backward , in coming forward," that two- thirds of the seats are between them and the pastor, who cannot make t e connection to save his life. The people seen to be afraid he may. . What poets call a 'dim religious light," may befit • some places. It has never been found a success in a prayer -meet- ing. It is a very successful ,;on- tributor to a deepening gloom, which may be safely warranted to take all the visible lift: out of a pe'ayer•nteetiug in six months. What a prayer -meeting much ' needs, is to be as pleasantly light- ed and as cheerful as a home. If it is not under ordinary circum• stances, it r!oon gets where it can give 110 signs of life. And because it is generally a very difficult matter to make a spiritual ther- mometer indicate more warmth than exists in the natural atmos- phere, a coid room is very sure to soon lay a prayer -mooting out stiff and cold, and as good as dead. Yes, we remember that grand prayer -meetings have 'been held Itren've' toil` eros a17"il'L>1tSAIIpLIftir :hat no reason why the place where, such meetings are held in these days, should seem like a cave, a den or a prison.— [Now York Evangelist.. A IIULI' LIFE A holy life i.. Made up of u number of small things --little words, not eloquent speeches or sermons; little deeds,not miracles or battles,nor one great heroic act of mighty martyrdom, snake up the Christian lite. Tho little con- stant sunbeams, i,ot the lightning; the waters of Siloam 'that go softly' in the meek mission of re- freshment, not 'waters of the river, great and many,' rushing down in noisy torrents, are the true sym- bols of a holy life. The avoidance of the little sins, little inconsisten- cies ,,little weaknesses, little follies eretions, and •imprudences; --littte-foiblex; --iftti e "IYidufgen`e the flesh—the • avoidance of such things as those go far to make up at least the negative beauty° of a holy life.—[Bonar. A CHRISTIAN BUFFER Did you ever notice the way in which a train of railroad cars is fastened together ? At the end of each car is a bolt -which slides in and out a little way, to which is hooked another bolt just liko it on the nextrear° When the.einginoer, �ACj{S and 111C two Cal; come 107 ,gether they do not strike with a bump. jolting the passengers out of their seats, but the two fasten- ings meet, each slides in a fow in- ches, breaking the force of the blow, and the two cars comp to- gether easily and gently. These slides are called 'buffers' because they buff each other and save the ears from many a bump. Now, do you know that every person can carry with him a buffer which will help him to ovoid bald, hits with other people? Tho buf- fer. is kindness. A kind word spoken gently even in answer to an unkind one, a kind action seek - ins ,the good of another,.abovo all, a kind heart full of lovo,will make all around us friendly and flllBthe" Wot'id with its 'sunshine. You remember how Joseph -went out of his prison to become' a prince. If he had moped and sulked in Potiphar's house, aa he bad some rcaSou for doing;'or had sat down in the prison cross • and snappish, dog you ' suppose j he would ever have risen to great- ness? No; with all his abilit', but for his' kindness and cheerful helpful spirit you and 'I .would never have heard of his name. Kindness will often succeed where eminent ability will fail, ST1.tENUTII IN WEAKNESS. 'My str.pngth is made perfect' in weakness.' This was the divine answer to Paul's prayer. God works with broken reeds. If a man conceits himself to be an iron pillar, -Clod can do nothing with or by him. All the starch has to lie taken out •him first: all tho sclf- coaceit and confidence. • Ile has to be brought low heforo the father can use hini fin' his purposes. The lowlands hold the water, and if oply the sluice 'is open, tho gravi- tation of his grace does all' the rest, and carries tire' flood into the depths of the lowly heart. Ilia strength lovoN to work in weakness, only the weakness must bo conscious, and the conscious weakness must. have _passed into .conscious dependence. There, dear reader, you get the law for the church, ter the• works o Christianity on the twidost•scale, and in individual lives. Strength that conceits ''itself to he such is no strength. The' only -true source 01' power, both fer Christian work 'and in alt'other respects, is (}od himself; and our strength is all ours by (Jeri t-atiun;that is,t.11rongh humble dopenrlcnve, which We rail faith in .Jesus 'Christ. And the only way by which faith in Christ can ever be kindled in a man's soul is through the sense of his need and emptiness. So when we know oua-selves weak we Lave taken the first step to rightoous- ness; just as in all cases the re- cognition of' the doleful fact of' our human necessity in the glad, triumphant fact, of the divine fullness. All our hollowness, if we may 80 say, aro mot with his swelling fulness that fits into them It only needs that It man he aware of that which ho is not., and then turn himself to him who is all which is not, and then into his empty being will flow to his re- joiemg the fullness of 'God, 'My strength,' says God, 'is made per- feet in weakness,'—[Christian Age.

Tho statement was not correct. A majority of the silver quarters do not bear the letter "II" at the place mentioned. Tho explanation of the mark is this: All British coins are supposed to bo issued from the Royal mint, and the largo majority in circula- tion have been so (issued. Now and again, however, the pressure of work at the mint( becomes so groat and urgency, being necess- ary some coinage has to 'bo done outside, the firm employed for, this purpose being Messrs.
