to do, when be wishes to get an NEWS NQTES
offensive prayer -meeting out of
his way. 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

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.

It is not a very difficult matter
to kill a prayer -meeting outright,
if the work is only dung scientifi-
cally—and the devil may bo left
to attend to that. it is easier to
put one into a state of suspended
animation, which will answer
nearly all the purposes of death.

A paragraph which appeared
in a contemporary a fow days ago
to the effect that all silver quar-
ters which do not boar a small cap

knot aro counterfeit, has created
consternation in some parts of the
country. 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. Ralph
IIeaton & Sons, of Birmingbam.—
Alls coins struck by them are

guish them from the Royal mint
issue.
