Tlie Coining' of tlie King. "They shall see the king in his beauty.' All day long we watched and waited, l Waited at our darling's side, While her frail bark slowly drifted 1 Out upon a snorciess uae. We had wept in bitter anguish, ] We had prayed with burning tears, , While our hearts drew back affrighted, Looking down the lonesome years. < AH in vain our tears and pleading, | All iu vain our sorrowing; 1 We could only watch and listen For the coming of the King. I O, the terror of the coming ( Of the grim and ghastly foe! < O, the darkness of the pathway ] Where our darling's fpet must go! O, the glory of the summer, Bending skies so blue and clear, 1 And the splendor of the roses, I And the bird-songs far and near, , Must she leave this world ol' beauty, All the Joy our love could bring, < And lie down in darksome silence | At the coming of the King? ( Came he solemnly and slowly < As a lord who claims his own, Touched the white hands clasped togethor, 1 And they grew.as cold as stone. Suddenly the blue eyes opened, , While our hearts grew faint with fear, In their depths in solemn rapture Faith ana hope were shining clear. Did she nee the golden portals? j Hear the songs the blessed sing? ' Perfect peace," she softly murmured, At the coming of the King. I When the days are long and lonely, 1 Summer days most sweet and fair, ] Whi>n vct> (rfttfipr in the srloaminii 11 Round our darling's vacant chair, I ( Say we softly to each other ' "Fairer scenes than we can know, I Sweeter airs and softer voices, Made our darling glad to go." Shines her happy face upon us, Still a smile is lingering. i So in patient trust we tarry , For the coming of the King. Deliverance out of Trouble. , i BY N. S. | "Call upon me," says God, "in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee, j and thou shalt glorify me." This is , one of those cheering promises which | have been the comfort and safety of t God's people in every age. While it , gives a condition, it pledges a sure and . blessed result, telling us that if in dan- \ ger, or perplexity, or trouble we call ( upon God, He will answer, ar.d deliv- | er and save. I Multitudes have tested the promise , and in their own experience have , found it to be true. In the hour ol ( trouble or perplexity or danger many a child of God has called on Him, when there was no other resource, and lias found Him faithful to His promise to deliver, as is shown in the following narrative, which is literally truo. | In a large and lone house in the , South of England lived a lady of piety ( and wealth, with only maid servants | in the dwelling itself, her men ser- , vants being in cottages at a distance j from the house. It was her custom to . go through the house with one of her \ servauts every evening, to see that the j windows were properly secured; and one night, after seeing that all was j safe, she retired to her room, when as she entered it. she saw distinctly a j man under her bed. What could she do? Her servants were in a distant part of the house, where they could not hear if she cried for help, and even j if with her they were no match for a ( desperate housebreaker. What then . did she do? Quietly closing and lock- , ing the door, as she was always in the habit of doing, she leisurely brushed ( her hair, put on her dressing-gown, and then, taking her Bible, sat down | to read. She read aloud, though in a i low and serious tone, choosing a chapter which had special reference to God's watchful care over those that trust Him, whether by day or Dy mgnt. When it was ended she knelt and prayed aloud, commending herself ' and servants to the Divine protection, pleading their utter helplessness, and their dependence on God to preserve them from danger, and praying for the poor, the sinful, and the tempted, that they might be kept from evil, and led to put their trust in God as their father and friend. Then, rising from her knees and putting out the candle, she laid herself down in bed, though almost of course, she did not sleep. After a few moments the man come out : from his concealment, and, standing ! by her bedside, begged her not to be ! alarmed. "I came here," he said, "to rob you, ' but after the words you have read, and J; the prayer you have uttered, no power on eartb could induce me to harm you, J or to touch a thing iii your dwelling. : But you must remain perfectly quiet, L and not make a sound to alarm your servants, or to interfere with me. I s will give a signal to my companions 0 which will lead them to go away, and 9 you may sleep in peace, for no one a shall harm you or disturb the smallest thing iu your house." He then went to the window and gave a low whistle, and coming back to the lady's side, said, "Now I am going. Your prayer 1 will be answered, and no disaster will , befall you." He left the room, and soon all was quiet ; and the lady at last fell asleep, ' ealm in the exercise of her faith and | trust in God, her soul filled with tlmnlrfnliipcu fni- Hid i>rntpnliii(r irmnl ness. The man proved true to his 1 word. In the morning it was found that not a thing in the house had been disturbed. And the lady more than once and earnestly prayed that the man might be led to forsake his evil 1 courses and put his trust in that Saviour who came to seek and save the I lost, and who, even on the cross, could accept and save the thief who was v penitent. The deliverance of the lady may seem wonderful, and the story almost too strange to believe. But some time after the occurrence a letter was re- 1 ceived by the one who related it, fully corroborating the statement, and add- i ingsome facts that enhance both the t Mw* wuuucri rtnu uic iiiciuj ui uic csuaiic. The letter says, "In the first place, the , robber told her that if she had given t the slightest alarm or token of resistance, he was fully determined to murder her, so that it was providential she took the course she did. Theu before ( he went away he said,'I never heard such words before, and I must have ' the book out of which you read and s he carried off her Bible, willingly enough given, you may be sure." * I This happened years ago, and ouly > lately did the lady hear any more of < the robber. She was attending a religious meeting in Yorkshire, where, ] after several noted clergymen and oth- j ers had spoken, a man arose, saying ( that he was employed as one of the book-hawkers (or colporteurs) of the ??%wl tAl/l niirl.

That was not liis intention but it was the result of ills sinful conduct. Tin's experience is yery frequently repeated. A case occurred in this city recently. Two brothers, members of a sister church, long esteemed honorable, Christian, Dusiness men, one of them a city official entrusted with large money interests and whose name was a synonym for honesty, failed to meet maturing obligations. On investigation it was found that they had been doing business for a long time on forged paper. The main business man of the firm lisappeared for parts unknown, and :he creditors are in hot water as the lebtsof the firm are largely in excess if their credits, when the forgeries are included. There is great occasion thus giveu to enemies of religion to blaspheme and jpeak against religion and religious people. Confidence in men, especially Christian men, is greatly impaired. All the members of the Christian Church are affected by this injuriously in some degree. Sinners will be liardened and led to look upon Chri<innityasan imposition and all Chris tians as cheats, unrisi is wouuueu m .lie house of his friends. Such examples of late have become very frequent, so frequent as to cause ilarm for the state of the Church that produces such fruitage. When Christian men become covetous for the world, or the things thereof, there is ^reat danger that iu an evil hour they may be given up to take such steps as to forever blast both their fortunes ind their reputation for probity. When leaders among Christians, ministers and others, fall in this way they lo untold damage. It is no shame to be poor; and to fail in business is unfortunate, but to lie, defraud and commit forgery in order to stave off such \ misfortune, places one along side of those who are shut out of the kinglom of heaven, however high may liave been their pretensions. "Charge them that are rich in this world that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but the living God, ?iveth us richly all things to enjoy." I Tim. 6: 17.?Christian Instructor. .... + ? ..... Praying About Little Things. I remember hearing it said of agodly mau "Mr. ?So-and-So is a gracious nan, but he is very strange; for the >ther day he prayed to God about a key that he had lost." The person Lvlio told it to me regarded with astonishment the idea of praying to God ibout a lost key; and he seemed altogether surprised when I assured him that I prayed iu like manner. What! pray about a key? Yes. Please tell me how big a thing must be before you may pray about it. If a certain size is appointed, we should like to have it marked down in the Bible, that we might learn the mathematics of prayer. Would you have it recorded that, f a thing is so many inches long, we nay pray about it; but if it happens ;o be a quarter of an inch too short, Ae must let it alone. If we might lot pray about little things, it would )c a fearful calamity; for little things ;ause us great worry, and they aie larder to deal with than great things, [f we might not pray about minor natters, it would be a terrible loss of jomfort. ? j ? iQ )mf nlvvnve flip tr((t/f/?( nil.T>? V? IO tivw M?...Vsr - ? iyht answer. Most questions can be ruthfuliy answered in more ways ban one; but every question cun be ightly answered in one way only. A ight line is a straight line; anil a ight answer is one that proceeds traigbt from, or in a right line with, he direction of the question or the atitude of the questioner. No question, herefore, can be rightly answered unil the attitude or motive of the quesioner be discerned in the question. V wife asks her husband whether lie a to take a certain route to his office n the morning. "I can go that way, f you desire it," he replies, not knowng how to give a right answer because le is not sure of her mental attitude or he motive in her asking. Everyone vho would bring out right answers nust study to be wise in his questionng, whether he asks for his own in ormauoD or xor Hie (iiupusc <ji iutructing those whom he questions; itherwise he may get the wrong anwer, even though he gets truth for an uswer. A heathen philosopher had the wislom to say, "It is the property of jusice not to injure men, and of politeless not to oft'end them." Robert -fall once said of a pious friend of the ype above described, "He can not mow how offensive such conduct is, >r, as a religious man, lie would enleavor to correct it." We instinctiveyshuu the society of those who deiglit in rasping our feelings, and can iot enjoy the companionship of those vho seem oblivious of the comfort and uippinessof other people. He is the freeman whom truth nukes free. No devoted well-doer ever attains to lis ideal of well-doing. Men seldom heartily praise those vho do not admire them. Remember that every person, howver low, has rights and feelingw. There is in every human coiuitelance either a history or a prophecy. A point gained against evil to*day, s gained a thousand times for all full re. Old men's eyes are like old men's nemories; they are strongest lor hings a long way oil'. A weak mind is like a microscope, vhieh magnifies trifling things, but :annot receive great ones. Meekness is a very important and ovely grace of character which all should prize above mountains of gold. That sort of self-denial, which is the east practiced, is the denying ourselves lawful things for the good of Jthers. Let not a man trust his victory over nature too far; for nature will lie Lured a long time, and revive upon the jccasion of temptation. God protects those who think of nothing but performing their duty, without perplexing themselves about .lie consequences of it. Wealth is like a bird; it hops all #" mon in t>\ o n nu ll?nf ^ Ally llUlli man iv uiuii, uo uiai uuiu Tom tree to tree, and none cau say vhere it will roost at night. God will either keep his saints from emptations by his preventing mercy, >r in temptations by his supporting nercy, or find a way of escape by his Jelivering mercy. A very light and airy kind of sympathy?mere congratulation and good wishes?suffices for the happy, the prosperous, those whose hearts are ifteu up by glad tidings; the sympa:hy that handles grief delicately, with he touch that helps to heal, is another hing, and is a rare endowment, of ivhich it may be said that it never exsts without acquaintance with sorrow.

From the position of the fire, which is distinctly seen from several sta- ( tions on tlio So.iora Railway, it is supposed to bo in the Sierra Azul Mountains. The reported volcano in the Whetstone | Mountains is a timber fire. There is ? much excitement in the vicinity, and a large party will leave here to-morrow to i visit the place.

Clyde, Presiding Elder of the District, f in the Chair. A fair per cent, of the delegates elect wero present. Rev. J. E. l Carlisle was elected Socretary. Reports on the spiritual condition of S the church wore made from the different charges of the district, and they were ? generally of such a character as to stimulate and oncourago all to greater zeal in the work of the church. Some little disappointment was felt in not having a 1 Bishop present, but Presiding Elder Clyde is about as good a substitute for a < Bishop as can be found anywhere, as it is the universal opinion that he is fully f qualified to prcach a regular Bishop ser- j tnon when he tries.

Treaty of Arbitration With tlie I nited State* of America. The officers at the last Council meeting having been instructed to prepare an address to the President and Congress of the United States of America with a view of getting it signed by members of the . House of Commons, presented the following, which, after some discussion, wis unanimously adopted on the motion of Nieass and Ilaslam; the Secretary being instructed to take the necessary ' steps for getting it extensively signed by Members of Parliament: "To the President and Congress of the United States of America: The undersigned members of the British Parliament, learn with the utmost satisfaction, inai various prupusmn nave uooh h.ww- , duced into Congress, urging the Government of the United States, to take the necessary steps, for concluding with the Great Britain, a treaty, which shall stip- , ulate that any differences or disputes , arising between the two governments, which cannot be adjusted by diplomatic i agency, shall be referred to arbitration. ! Should such a proposal happily emanate from the Congress of the United States, I our best influence shall be used to ensure it* acceptance by the Government of Great Britain. The conclusion sueli a treaty would be a splendid example to < those nations who are wasting their resources in war-provoking institutions-, and might induce other governments to join the peaceful compact.?The Arbitrator. Under the head "High Claims of Romanism," the Northern Christian Advo- < cate contains the following : The Baptist Weekly says: ' In these | days, when smooth words concerning i Romanism are so often uttered, it may be < profitable to react4 some choice sentences I from a book by one of the Canadian Jesuits?a book, too, which has received the highest commendation to the Romish Bishops of Montreal: "It is customary to regard Protestantism a rolurinn wh:r*h has its ritrhts. . This is aw error. Protestantism has not a single right. It possesses the l'orco of ( seduction. It Is a rebellion in triumph; it is an error which flatters human na- 1 ture. Error can havo 110 rights; rebellion can have 110 rights.' "It would be easy enough to fill columns with utterances of this sort. For instance, this by the late Bishop O'Connor: " 'Religious liberty is mere y endured until the opposite can be carried into effect without peril to the Catholic Church.' Or the following from the Catholic lie- t view : " 'Potestantism has not, and never can have, any right, where Catholicity has 1 triumphed. Therefore wo lose the breath ; we expend in declaiming against bigotry 1 and intolerance and in favor of religious j liberty, or the right of any man to be of , any religion as best pleases him.' Or the < following by Pope Pius XI: j " 'The Catholic religion, with all i;s votes, ought to be exclusively dominant in such sort of way that every other worship shall be banished and interdicted.' There is no end to this loud sounding ' talk by Roman Catholics. But then we 1 must remember that it sounds very senseless in this age of the world. It is : talk of a demented eccesiasticm. The time will come, we hope, when the Rn ...ill ...1 1 man v_ul.hu in.; v.uun 11 11x wcii\u uj/ anu | tind that Christendom haw moved out ol'J the Dark Ages." This would seem to indicate the Baptist Weekly was putting on war-paint. : There lias been much excitement in ' New York and Washington cities, caused by attempts made to enforce thn Sunday laws forbidding the opening saloons and the sale o! liquors, etc., on Sundays. In New York a number of the dealers, by common agreement, closed and observed the law to the letter, with the under- | standing that to do so would make the I la?v odious to many people and its repeal < soon be secured.* In Washington city ' many arrests were made the first Sunday , after the law went into operation, and ar- i rnnsrements made to test the validity of i the law before the highest courts that have I jurisdiction in the case. It seems strange that in a Christian country, with a civil government founded on Christian principles, people should boast of the excellency and freedom of that government and yet try to destroy ono of the main pillars on which it rests ?as the Sabbath really is. But taken all in all, one of the strangest and yet most powerful beings on this earth is man. lie can do many inconsistent things, and ; many that are adverse to his own higher and better interests. Seizing the present gratificction regardless of the future, ho . can destroy himself without mercy, or , "benefit of elegy." " i It is a remarkable fact, not generally . known, that in Ethiopia a people numbering about 200,000 have the 01 u Testament , in an Ethiopio version and still adhere J rigidly to the Mosaic ceremonies and < laws.
