MacArthur, D. D., ib ¢‘Quick Truths in Quaint Texts. SILENCE IS G OLDEN. There is one sin which is everywhere un derestimated, and quite too much overiooked in valuation of eharacter. It is the sin of fretting. Itis as common as air, as speech; s 0 common that, unless it rises above its usual monotone, we do not even observe it. Watch any ordinary coming together of peo ple and see how many minutes it will be be fore somebody frets; that is, makes more or Jess complaining statement of something ot other, which, most probably, every one in the room, or in thecar, or on the street corner, it may be,knew before and which probably no body can help. Why say anything about it? It is cold, itis hot, it is wet, it is dry; some body bas broken an appointment, ill cooked a meal; stupidity or bad faith has resulted in discomfort. There are plenty of things to fret about. Itis astonishing how much an noyance may he found in the course of every day’s living, even at the simplest, if one only keeps a sharp eye out on that side of things. Even Holy Writ says we are prone to trouble as sparks to fly upward. But even the sparks that fly upward i the blackest of smoke, there is a blue sky above; and the less time thev waste on the road the sooner they will reach it. Fretting is all time wasted on tho road—Herald of Peace. STFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY, ETC. God does not open patbs for us in advanca of curcoming. Hedoes not promise to help before help is needed. He does hot remove obstacies out of our way before we reach them. Yet when we are on the edge of our need, God’s hand is stretched out. Many people forget this, and are forever worrying about difficulties which they foresee in the future. They expect that God is going to make the way plain and open before them, miles and miles ahead, whereas He has promized to do it only step by step as they moveon. There is a promise which reads: *“When thou passeth through the wa ters, I will be with them.” You must get to the waters and into their floods hefore you can ciaim thjs promise. Many people dread death and lament that they have not ‘dying grace.” Of course they wiil not have dying grace when they are in good health, in the midst of life’s duties, with death far in ad vance. Why should they have it then? Grace for duty is what they need then,living grace; then dying grace when they come te die. When their feet are dipped in the Lrim of Jordan, the torrest will sink away.—J. R. Miller. STRIVE TO KEEP YOUNG Rarely do those “outlive their usefulness” who, not suffering their powers to fail frcm indoleree and luxurious pampering, love more and more the beauty of this beautiful worid ; who rejolce in all new movements to help man’s progress, aiding them so far as {;pos.‘-'iblc_: who keep the mind bright with igh thoughts from good books, the heart warim with the love of little children; who, indeed, cultivate a lively interest in human beings generally; above all, whose souls are fiited with that ever-present concciousness of God’s love which gives roposze for this life and trust for the next. The peace of God that passeth understand. ing flils their hearts with quiet sunshine to the lazt. The dying year wanes to a Decem ber clcse, only to usher in a joyous New Year, full of larger possibilities, The sun gets,but its radiant after glories hints the com ing dawn. Tihe autumn leaf, Lright to the last, falls from the tree, but cnly because pushed off by the eager new life crowding behind, the bud already formed, ready to ex pand in the tender warmth of the quick coming springtime. Rev. P. Thorne, in Christian Register. PLUCKED AS BRANDS FROM THE BURNING There is not one of us who cannot see poiuts in the past where we had almost gone and our footsteps had well-nigh slipped; precipices along the brink of which we went at nightfall, horrifled in the morning to see how near our footprints had been to the edge. Repeatedly we have been within a hair breadth of taking seme fatal step, yielding to some imperious temptation, striking a Faust-like bargain with the devil. How nearly we were caught in that eddy! How strangely we were plucked out of that companiocnship! How marvelously we were saved from that marriage, from that investment, from embarking in that ship, traveling by that train, taking sbaresin that company ! There is something to be explained in the hves of men which they cannot account for., They deseribe their consciousness of this anonymous element,as it has been called, by the words *‘luck,” *fortune,” ‘chance;" but these are mere subterfuges, sop thrown to silence the appeals of their common sense. We know better. Itis God who girded us, thouch we did not know him.—Rev. F. B. Meyer. SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD. The worst part of martyrdom is not the last agonizing moment: it is the wearing daily steadfastness. There are many Chris tians who have the weight of some deep, in ecommunieable grief pressing, cold as ice, up on their hearts. To bear that cheerfully and manfully is to be a martyr. There 1s many a Christian bereaved and stricken in the best hopes of life. For such a one to say quietly, ‘Father, not as I will, but as Thou wilt,” is to be a martyr.——Frederick W. Robertson. BE PURIFIED AS BY FIRFE Often precious stones are put into the fire, The Oriental cornelian and Brazilian topaz change color in the burning, and the black spots of the Amethyst and hyacinth can only be removed by heat. Thus God’s jewels are purified ; all that can stand the fire must pass through it, and in the fieree heat of ftrial many & commouplace CDristlan DEgns to glow with new hues of grace, at which men greatly wonder.—W. Y. Fullerton. We often live under a cloud, and it is well for us that we should do so. Uninterrupted sunshine * would parch our bhearts; we want shade and rain to cool and refresh them. Only it behooves us to take carse that, whatever cloud may be spread over us, it should be a cloud of witnesses. And every cloud may be such, if we ecan only look throuch to the sunshine that broods behind it.—Hare. No one 2an ask honestly or hopefully to be delivered from temptation unless he hashim self honestly and firmly determined to do the best he can to keep out of it.—Ruskin. No Truth in the Statement.

W. Noff, former president of King College, and at present a professor in South west Virginia Institute, was talking to a friend on Main street, when King James, a well-known gentleman of Roanoke, accosted him, demanding an apology for an alleged insult, A few words were pasged, when James struck the Professor a heavy blow in the face. Bystanders interfered and stopped the affair, it not until Sam Borson, who thought his friend James was not getting fair play, struck the Professor across the head with his cane. None of the blows are serious, The difficulty arose out of the Pro fessor’s asking James to discontinue smok ing on the gtreet car conveying the young lady pupils to the college. James consider ed it an insnlt and demanded an apology. Samuel Ralston, an old white man, living near Monterey, Highland county, was found dead in the woods.

Twenty-six cases of the Southern Mutual Fire Insurance Company to recover for losses prior to 1874, when the company stopped business, have been decided in the Circuit Court against the company. The University of Virginia beneflt given at the Academy of Musie, Roanoke, by the Mar garet Lynn Lewis Chapter of the Daughters of the A=erican Revolution was a great sue cess.

When he had not returned at fni'lnight, his wife started out to look for the three. The doors of-the gymnasium whare Hattenhaft was em ployed were founa {oaked and wers batterad in by the police;” They found father and children lying dead.

Into the a; a tube con necting with the gas pipe was inserted. The wife and mother is so prostrated with grief that it is feared she cannot.recover. In intervais between fainting spells, Mrs. Hat tenhaft said that there had been no domestic difficulty between her and her husband, and that she thought he must have become temporarily deranged over business trou bles, of which she had heard him speak on saveral occasions. 8o far as she knew, how ever, he had never threatened to take his life, or do bodily barm to any member of the family.

' 3 1. “I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehem fte, for I have provided me a kiug among hissons.” The last verse of the previous chapter shows that, although Samuel came not near Saul any more, vet he clung to him in his heart. It is a searching question, Am I wholly with God in everything, or do I in any sense cling to that which He has disap- Prnved? Observe the words “I will send,” ‘I have provided.” In Saul's case it was God indulging the people, but now it is God working and choosing for His pleasure. See Ps. Ixxviii., 70; Ixxxix., 19, 20, 9, “Take an heifer with thee and say, I am eome to sacrifice to the Lord.”” Itis notlike Samuel to be atraid of a man (Isa. 1., 12)4 but the least lack of fellowship with God 18 apt to cause poor vision, and tremblings of heart. and fears and forebodings, When God speaks, it is not ours ta reason, but simply obey. “Willing and obedient” are the wordsg for us if we would eat the good of the land and see the power of the Lord (Isa. i, 19). He sees the end from the beginning always knows what He will do (Isa. xlvi., 10; John vi., 6). 3 ‘)‘l willshew thee what thou shalt do.” Here is sure guidance. Samuel had only to trust and obey. The Lord sends, provides, shows and names, and Samuel watches to see His way. The same Lord will guide us in all that which He requires of us, and we may in quietness and confidence dwell with Him for His work (Isa. xxx., 15; I Chron. iv., 29). As to His guidance see Ps. xxxil., 8; Isa. xxx., 21; xlviii.,, 17. . To enjoy Him and be led by Him we must be as clay in the hands of the potter, with no will of our own. 4. “And Samuel did that which the Lord spake and came to Bethlehem, and the eld ers of the town trembled at his coming.” There was no occasion totremble if they had been walking with God. 7T'he godly man can say, “What time I am afraid I will trust in Thee,” Or, better still, “I will trust and notbe afraid’’ (Ps. lvi., 8; Isa. xii.,2). The Lord’s thoughts to His people are always thoughts of peace (Jer. xxix., 11; Pa. Ixxxv., 8; John xiv., 27). To beliéve what Hesays and do what :e tells us is always pleasing unto Him. 5. “I am come to =acrifice unto the Lord; sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.”” He uses the very words of the Lord (verse 2), and in thishe was very safe and right, The Lord’s messenger shouldsay exactly what the Lord tells him. Thus did Jeremiah ani Ezekiel and our Lord Jesus Christ also (Jer. i., 7; Ezek. ii., T;iil., 4, 17; John xii., 49). We are never, under any cir cumstances, to lie, but we are not supposed always to tell all we know to everybody. 6. *Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him.” This said Samuel as he looked upon Eliab, Jesse’s oldest son, but had he been looking to the Lord and watehing for His message he would not have spoken thus. It seems so easy for us tolook away from tha Lord and use our own eyes or ourown judgment. But all this we must contend against, and prayerfully and patiently seek and wait His guidance. 7. “Man looketh on the outward appear ance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”’ Not until the heart is right are we in any gense right before God. The natural heart, or carnal mind, is enmity azainst God and never can be made better (Rom, viii., 7), but when we receive Jesus Christ we are said to be born anew, or from above, and then we have a new heart, which cannot sin, while the old can do nothing but sin. This is the work of the Spirit through the Word. A per son may be outwardly all that can be de gired, even to moral character, but if the heart is not a new heart,if Christ is not there, all else goes for naught, Ponder I John v., 12. The whole world is wrong, and will be till the heart gets right, which is Is rael and Jerusalem, and the throne of David. 8-10. ‘‘Neither hath the T.ord chosen this.”” “The Lord hath not chosen these.” As the seven sons of Jesse passed before SBamuel the verdict for each was “Not chogen,” Let usbear in mind that this was a question of service, not of salvation. For salvation the word ever stands, “Him that cometh to Me I willin {no wiseleast out” (John vi., 837). But for service it is still true that ‘“‘few are chosen,” not because the Lord does not want them, but because they do not want Him; they are not willing to submit wholly to Him, and His Word and His ways; not willing to have Him think for them, and act through them andlive just to please Him in all things. 11. “Thereremaineth yetthe youngest, and beho}” 1e keepeth the sheep.” This was Jesr _eply to Samuel's question as to w' .erall his sons were present or not. 7 seevidently was expected co bring all his .ons, but he supposed the lad David would not be wanted, and that was just where he was mistaken. It is generally tha unlikely one that is wanted and the unlikely and un expected thing that happens. Let us keep nothing back from God, but yield to Him every whit that He may use what ™~ ‘2ases. David was the eighth son (vii., 1..), which is suggestive of the resurrection Man, and the resurrection day, the man who to the Jews was so unacceptable that they killed Him. It has made me laugh in my heart many a time to see all those big brothers passed by and set aside, and the whole pro ceadings at a standstili until little David is gent for and arrives upon the seang.. Wa do not know how David took his bsing left at home that day. Perhaps his mother com fortad him if he needed any, but we may learn this lesson, Where God wants you to be there He will put you. 12. *‘And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him, for this is he.” When at last the surprised boy arrived. this was the Lord’s message to Samuel. This is our first introduction to the man after God’s own heart, who is mentioned about 1000 times in the Old Testamen®, and fifty in the New. Even his outward appear ance is fair to look upon, but his heart is right with God, and he has already learned to trust Him for great things (chapter xvii., 34-37). 13.”““Then Samuel took the horn of oiland anointed him in the midst of his brethren and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.” The revised ver sion says, ‘‘Came mightily upon Dawid,” which makes the meaning more plain, as the Spirit must _have been on him before. By comparing II Sam. ii., 4, and v., 3, with this verse we see that David was anointed three times. The full significance of this we shall see some day in Christ, the true David or Be loved. David, though anointed, waited long for the throne and suffered much. Our David is still waiting for His throne and xingdom, and we must rejoica to wait and suffer with Him (II Tim. ii., 13; Rom. viii., 18).—Lesson Helper. SPANIARD'S ROUTED. Bix Hundred Baid to Have Been Killed and Wounded in a Fierce Battls A messenger, who just arrived at the Cuban headquarters in New York from Cuba by way of Tampa, Fla., brings news of a fight November 19 at Paguasco. The en gagement is said to have been of even more importance than the one at Bayamo somse months ago, in which General Campos was nearly captured. The Spanish force which numbered almost 10,000 men, was led by Generals Valdez, Luque and Aldove. The Cubans under General Gome~, about 4,500 strong, held an advantageous vosition at the foot of the hill. The fight lasted thirty-six hours, according to the story, but the Spanish troops were un able to dislodge the Cubans, General Antonio Maceo, who was in the vicinity, came up at this point, the messen ger says, with 3,500 men, und after a fierce conflict the Spaniards were routed. The Cubans then advanced toward Cienfaegos and Trinidad.
