Jiine2th: Quarterly Review.
Twelve lessons in a wtinderful period
of church history ! A period when the
first work, so auspiciously begun at Pente
cost, begins to broaden and Rive sure
prophecy of marvelous conquests. A
period when ths exclusiveness of the
Jewish church and people 13 being rudely
:osllcd and seems ready to fall before the
power of Christ. During the time covered
by these lessons tho gospel comes in
contact with many races and conditions of
men. Astounding miracles attest the
divinity of tho system. The new and
strange teachings that it brings prove a
joy to thousands, while they are only as
an idle tale to many others, and to a still
larger class they only stir op envy, anger,
and the maddest opposition. In these
iessons we have account of the different
position that various individuals took
when brought In contact with the truth as
it is in Jesus. Some, as Simeon, looked
upon the wonderful empowering of the
Holy Ghost only as a means of getting
gttin, and fame, and power. The Ethio
pian saw in it what his soul craved and
gladly embraced its teachings, and set at
once about the duties it required, Saul,
though a bitter persecutor of Christians,
is yet overcome and his opposition broken
down when he meets with Christ himself.
Peter is brought, by an experience whose
teachings could not be mistaken, to
embrace in his faith and endeavor the
World of mankind. He does hot allow his
intense prejudice to stand before the plain
will of God.
Under tbe guidance of tbe Holy Spirit
Barnabas seeks an associate for bis mission
work, and becomes happily associated
with the bold and devoted convert from
Tarsus. We find the two under tbe
authority of their brethren, and by special
diVme prompting, soon setting out on an
extensive missionary tour; thus carrying
the light of tho gospel to the remote
nations of tho then known world. This
period is one of marked enlargement in
tbe infant church.
Let us seek to recall some of the
practical lessons in the work we have
passed over.
Lesson I. We can never enter into the
real experience of divine grace until our
hearts are right in the sight of God.
That is, we must come to him not for
self-aggrandizement, but that we may be
fitted to glorify God and do his work.
We are no longer our own, but bought
With a price .
Louun II. God provides the light of
truth to all who devoutly seek it. Having
come to the light, we are to begin at once
the duties of the Christian life.
Lesson III. The only kind of a religious
lite that is worthy of the name, or worthy
of an energetic man Is a life service to
God. "Lord what wilt thou have me to
do?" is a central question in a Christian
life.
Lesson IV. Sound conversion Is follow
ed by Immediate work in God's cause
and if a man in the full maturity of his
powers gives himself to God he ought to
bo able immediately to give powerful
witness for Jesus.
Lesson V. God does not fail to attest
the genuineness of the work honestly
done for him. Signs are sure to follow
wherever such labors are performed.
Such miracles as Peter was able to per
form are not most needed now, but God
yet stretches out bis hand to aid all who
exercise real faith In him. The power
which rescues a drunkard from years of
degradation, or the libertine from his
debauchery is no less wondeiful than that
which raised Eneas from his bed where
the palsy bad held him eight years.
Lesson VI. If we saw more clearly
what God is doing among other people we
should not be so narrow in our notions,
or so circumscribed in onr efforts.
When Peter found that God had eves
commissioned an angel to instruct the
Roman Cornelius, ho was ready to fall in
with the divino plan and preach to a
heathen congregation gathored at the
house of this devout officer.
Lesson VII. Where God endorses a
work by special aid In reaching men,
there ought the church to send the largest
working force at her disposal. Tbe peo
ple of Antioob appear to have heard the
word gladly and It was the highest wis
dom to put the best working force In that
place and keep them there for a consider
able time.

should be hemmed to night."
"Know what I'J doP" queried rogue
Willie with a smile.
"Well, what would you do, my boy?"
"I'd let the stocks and socks and other
old rags take dare of themselves till to

The Peace of Death. How peaceful

the greon hamlots and populous cities of
tne dead! iney need no antidote for care
no armor against fito. No morning
sun sbincs in at the closed windows and
awakens them, .nor shall, until tho last
great day. At most, a straggling sun
beam creeps in through tho crumbling
wall of an old, noglected tomb a strange
visitor that stays not long. And there
they all sleep, the holy ones, with their
arms crossed upon their breasts, or lying
motionless by their sides not carved in
marble by the hand of man, but formed
in dust by the hand of God. God's peace
be with them! No ono comes to them
now, to hold them by tho hand, and with
delicate fingers to smooth their hair.
They need no more the blandishments of
earthly lrlcndsbips. They need us not,
however much we may need them. And
yet they silently await our coming.
Beautiful is that season of life when we
can say in the language of Scripture,
"Thou hast the dew of thy youth." But
of these flowers death gathers many. He
places them upon bis bosom, and ho is

At the late meeting of the Michigan
general association of Congregational
churches a dapper .young student asked
Dr. L. Q. Cobb, secretary of the Congre
gational union, "Will they allow a man
out west to wear a silk hat?" "Yes, sir,"
aid tbe doctor, "but they want to know
what he's got under it."
A woman's ministerial conference was
held at Boston last Friday, Mil. Julia
Ward Howe presiding. Lorenza Haynet,
Kate Gannett Wells, Annie Shaw, etc,
were present. Letters were read from
Mrs. Pholie A. Hanafbrd and Frances
Power Cobb. Tbe general opinion seemed
to be that women wore as divinely called
to tbe work as men, had special qualifica
tions for certain kinds of work, bad
demonstrated their right by their success,
and should continue despite all opposition.
tice we can fulfill all Ibis with Ihe
following simple manipulations : Undress
tbe child and bring it to bed at tbe very
first sign of sickness. Give it, if it has
already fever, nothing but sourisb, warm
lemonade with some gum arabic in it.
Then cover its abdomen with somo dry
flannel. Take a well folded bed sheet and
put it in boiling hot water; wring it out
dry by means of dry towels, and put this
over the flannel on the child's abdomen.
Then cover the whole, and wait. The
hot cloths will, perhaps, require repeated
heat. According to the severity of the
case, and its stage of progress, perspira
tion win commence in tne cniid in from
ten minutes to two hours. The child is
then saved ; it soon falls to sleep. Soon
after the child awakes. It shows slight
symptoms of returning inclination Tor
food ; help its bowels, if necessary, with
injections of oil, soap and water, and its
recovery will be as steady as the growth
of a greenhouse plant, if well treated.
Of course, if the child was already dying,
nothing could save it, or if it has already
effusions in the lining of the heart or
brain; it Is mncb better that it should die.
But if tho above is applied in due timo,
under tbe eyes and dircotion of a compe
tent physician, I will guarantee that not
one in a hundred children will ever die
of scarlet fever. I know this will Btartlc
some of my readers, especially those who
have lost children already, but I shall go
still farther. I maintain that a child will
never get scarlet fever if properly treated.
If a child has correctly mixed blood, it
will not catch the disorder if put in bed
with a sick child. This is still more
startling, but nothing is easier of proof.
