IN THE PRESENCE OF
CHRIST.
We had left this world al-
together. There was a large
company of us. ' Suddenly each
J1ne's life was open to his own
-inspection. As in Swiftly mov-
ing panorama all the acts of his
life passed before him. And a
'different value was placed on most
of them. It was the valuation of
heaven. The good acts seemed
1 ess good; there was an elemen
• ofselfishness abut them; some-
thing of human alio. And the
baa acts seemed- more -hein-ous than ever before. They came
to me -they came to every one
-a new conception of the enorm-
ity of sin. We all stood aghast
xt the thought that over and over
again . we have so grevionsly dis-
obeyed gocd. And, thua thinking
of his own sinfulness, we each
• stoud`lost in sorrowful retre9pec-
tion.
At the same time we were cog-
s nizant of the deeds of all about us.
Each one's life was an open book
to all others. `Thin, however, oc-
casioned no surprise, almost no
interest. No one cared to dwell
upon his neighbor's sins or short
comings. Orae supreme ques[[on
"was uppermost in each heart :
"What will Christ env to me?"Pondering upon this serrous reflec-
tion not one of all that company
felt like observingsmuch less die -
cussing or sitting in judgment
upon another.
We were all members of the
church. We had covenanted to
live for Christ agd•to faithfully
serve him. Upon each soul now
pressed the full realization of not
only sin committed but o: duty
unperformed. Tilt se r°ns t.iom-
mission, like a vast army they
passed before each one. Oh how
much we failed to do I Very
weak and faulty and incredibly
-sinful each of these lives looked in
the beginning of the heavenly re-
trospect. Oppressed by these sad
thoughts, each one fell upon his
'knees and cried, "Oh, blessed
Redeemer, for ive my sins and
blot out my transgressions." We
covered our faces In deepdrumility
and •contriction of spirit; and all
were silent.
▪ Suddenly, a presence was felt
rather than seen. All knew in-
tinetively that the Saviour was
looking upon us. A mighty fear•;and dread kept every eye down-
cast and every voice silent. But
,sweet, beautiful atmosphere was
all stout us. A gentle radiance
stole into and warmed every heart
Then, like the sound of soft music
'there fell upon our ears these
precious words : 'Ye • are my
friends.' The sense of sin -depart-
• 6d and in its place came a sweet
sense of sins forgiven; of reconcili-
4etion to Christ and such a deal, -love for him as on earth wo hag
never known. Then, again, his
voice fell upon our ears : 'Ye are
my brethren.' Brethren 1 What
wealth of meaning breathed in
that word. Fear gave place to
,y,.love. Each one glanced 'up and
.beheld an ineffably glorious pre-
..sence anal" the countenance of the
Son of Man. His face glowed
"with a sweet and 'holy joy. All
drew neair'irit okepi .by an unseen
force. $:e�irtl d' t r ars. His
;' face was soca 'tri, so benignant, so
` full of joy tenderness, love slid
holiness, that we realized that it
' WAS llt:�a'vets to look upon him and
't bask in the supernal radiance of
his celestial glory. And, as Wo
drew perhaps too near for those
just entetod the heavenly land,
suddenly ho was gone.
Again,we are alone. A silence• l,l,
upon us all. He had-;forgtvon us,
and slur sins uo more would le re-
membered against us. Then our
thoughts went back to earth, and
am how pitiful and misdirect most
of our earthly efforts seemed to
have been. How unwisely had
we wasted precious time and en-
ergy in toil and undue worry
about earthly affairs. How price-
less now seemed the worth of souls
yet how little of our lower life
had we apeat in seeking their
salvation. Oh, if we could get
back -we, the friends of Jes><ra-
and live that earth -life over again
how earnestly would we engage
in our Master's blessed service.
With what delight we would tell
of his love and goodness. And
how strongly we would beseech
everyone to come and accept our'Saviour as theirs. But now
there was no going back -with the
close of our earthly -life a
portunity to labor for the inga
ing of souls had ceased.

B .PTIZED IN HER COFFIN.
Mrs George Lyre, who has been
an invalid for some time from"con-
sumption, died, to all appearance,
a short time since. As life ap.
poured to be entirely extinct the
body was laid out on a bed and an
undertaker summoned. While
several of the woman's relatix es
were standing at the bedside, sod-
denly the supposed corpse rose
up and in a hollow voice said : 'I
must he baptized instantly.'
The shock to all present was
horrible. The undertaker was
sent away, and the woman's min-
ister, Rev W. W. Gross, was sum-
moned. When he arrived the wo-
man told him she bad been bol o
again and had to be baptized. She
wanted to go to cbur'ch, but the
pastor refused to takeber, saying_
it would kill her. She, however,
insisted ,that she must be baptized
some wny or other, and suggested
that they fill the metallic coffin
with water and dip her"in that.
This remarkable plan was carried
out. The coffin was filled IA;th
warm water she was lifted into it.
At the touch of the water she re-
"vived, as if from an electric shock.
She shouted 'Glory'sever"al times,
with a smile on her face, as the
rite of baptism was administerby Rev Mr Gross. She is much
stronger now and will recaver.
Her voice is strong and•naturai,
and her• recovery is looked on as
miraculous. --Cleveland Leader.
Miss Gertrude I{ickox, a pro-

There is great suffering in the
Cherokee strip among the boom-

and Missouri several weeks ago.
The blizzard caught them unpre-
pared, and it is reported women
and children are 'in danger of dy-

The Cigarmakers' Union, of
Chicago, have decid( 1 ts demand
an advance of $1 per 1,000 in the
pries of mr'.iog cigars after May

say they will not pay the sivanee
and a strike at the time mentioned
is thought probable.
As Mr Dugald Graham, an old
resident of Dunwich, was engaged
in loaning beans at the residence
of his son on Back street, he ac-
cidentally fell off the wagon on
the frozen ground. A bag of
beans which be was placing on
the load fell on top of him, ren-
dering him unconscious for some
time. Re was carried into the
house and medical aid called, when
it was found that his hip bone
was broken, besides his body being
sederely injured. Mr ,Graham is
well advanced in years and his
recovery is very doubtful.
