I"
:
Mtoth in the Home.
The aunnieBt day of the week ! In
every home that day ought to be the
Sabbath day. Christ is the light;
Sunday Is His day. Therefore it is
by right the light day. But unless
the parents open the windows and
shutters of the young hearts about
them, what will avail the outside
shining?
Here come a pair of little feet pattering
across the threshold.
"Charley boy, which day of all the
days do you like the best.
/ "Sunday day, father."
"Why?"
" Oh, it Is the happiest day!"
From beginning to end, from the
first bird-note in the dawning until
the tired birds cease their song at dusk,
the parent's effort ought to be to make
the day exceptional for both the quality
and the degree of its happiness.
But can that idea be realized? I
think so. How?
1. In part by meeting as fully as is
possible the child love for the beautiIs
there not on the shelves a
hit of ornamental china that is some
what above the grade of the workday
dishes? If it had been used daily it
would be scarcely noticed; but now;
Sabbath by Sabbath, place it upon the
.table and it will seem to the children
to be an ever-repeated Sabbath-day
' gift to them. It will be that. If poscftle
Jet there be something for all,
jfaronea pretty cup, for another a
plate, a piece of cut glass.
But such things are costly. Yes,
they are too costly for many a home.
But there is an ornament which is
Arm to the humblest home, and also
Is better than any most delicate piece
of human handicraft for it is Godmade
and very beautiful. Let the
mother go to the window where all
the week her geraniums and primroses
aadbegomas have been turning their
leaves and perhaps their blossoms towards
-the light. She chooses the prettiest.
She places it on the table. As
the children come trooping in, see
what a bright "good morning" it has
fer&emall, for old and young. The
]*mof Ss the answering smile in their
ilioes. The flower is there like a weleoMftgaest
tome to tarry with them
-Sfetheday, and with a smile that will
bless them the whole day through.
I've known a wee and modest flower,^
IUHI BCMOOII UM CU upouu oiwac,
Trsuuform all hearts with subtle power,
* At though 'twere love that smiled a while.
m
2. Further, meet as fully as is possible
the child love for play. The
child needs play. It would be tempting,
him beyond what he is able to bear
to forbid it, even for a day. But let it
be Sunday play. Let there be "Sunday
playthings" as there are Sunday
clothes, and let them be of the best
and prettiest Then guide the children
in the use of them. The dolls
can be dressed, not for schools and
mIJs, but for church and for visiting
tfce-stok. The boy's horses, they need
not be allowed to work. Let them
have generous feeds or grain and ex*
tra care because the Sunday is theirs
aa wall aa their master's. Or let them
ho.toned out to pasture with the other
asiaoals. And then if one of them
or a oow or a sheep fall into a prepared
pit, no matter. It will be right for
thaboya to take them out even on the
on/1 Ir* ^Airtor if fn loom o 1 qc.
soa concerning the mercy of the Christ
who te Lord of the Sabbath day. Or
if the horses must be harnessed let
them carry the dolls to church.
"Sometimes, when the children'have
"l teamed to love ths real church and
Swwity-Bchool, let them play "church"
aftd "Sunday-school" and "preaching."
No fear but that their play will
be reverent. And who knows??it
may be an early step in the training
oftosys who hereafter shall be surMktixtd
"Boanerges, which is, The sons
_ M 11 - - - tt 3 J Li. 1
Ui mumiwr," wiu ui uaugmeis wuu
shall be "cornerstones polished after
theflimHttude of a palace."
0rtriF the boys and girls to play
t!?*t they are Hebrew children and a
part of an imaginary throng marching
together in the glad feast-times
towards Mt. Zion and Jerusalem.
Teach them to sing as they go one
or another of the "Songs of the Ascent,"
"I will lift up mine eyes unto
the hills," or "I was glad when they
itfMd unto me, Let us go into the house
df the Lord." Ab they reach the imagined
holy city and temple, let them
hear the silver trumpets welcoming
theui ; and no matter what the real
round is, if only the sound of a battered
trumpet of tin, their imagination
can easily glorify it. Then let them
make their booths outside the city
walls. Simply give them the outline
of the story (and this is but one story
among so many that can be so used)
and they will fill in the details for
tbeirplay. It will be absorbing play.
It may be most helpful, for who knows
but it will leave so vivid an impression
of reality on their minds and
hearts as to make impossible any after
yielding to the claims of heretical
legendary and mythical hypotheses ?
3. Further, somewhere in the day
find an hour, the twilight time is the
best time, for meeting more fully
than is possible in the busy week
ddys the child love for stories tola or
read. With the little ones in the
mother's arms and with the older ones
pressed close about her, let them hear
over and over the sweet Bible words,
until Moses and Miriam and Joseph
and Samuel and the dear Christ Jesus
in the Nazareth home all seem as real
to Chem and as dear as their best
loved playmates.
Often the children instead of the
parents may themselves tell the familiar
stories and repeat the best-loved
texts and verses, with the thought
thaf> in making the Bible words their
very own and laying them away for
use in their minds they are laying
away pearls, precious things that byJ
a / , ' " ; ' w , s- r f' '
and-by shall make them rich indeed
with the best of treasures, such as
"neither moth nor rust doth corrupt
nor thieves break through and steal."
4. And at the last, before the evening
prayers and the good-night kisses
and dreamland, sing together some of
the bright Sunday hymns which the
children should know and love as the
birds know and love their woodland
songs.
But all of this would take time and
thought, and with our other outside
Sabbath occupations would crowd the
day.
The other Sabbath occupations
might crowd the day ; one's Sabbath
duties would not. Occupations are
wholly self-imposed: duties never
are. The' family is the centre of all
Christian activity.?Illustrated Christian
Weekly.
Good for Others Besides the FriendH.
Is it to be said, then that there should
be no preparation for our meetings for
worship? Should all, minister and
others, enter them purposely with
vacant minds expecting that, like
iEolian chords, they will be breathed
upon by "the wind that bloweth where
it listeth," and so be made to render
sufficient service?
Notsuch inanimate instruments are,
or should be, any true worshippers in
the name of Christ. All should go to
our meetings "with their loins girded
and their lights burning;" ready for any
service which may be called for, but
obturding none: waiting for His word
who will say, "Preach the preaching
that I bid thee,"?or, "Be still and
know that I am God."
Ministers should be, themselves, under
preparation for their service all the
time; in season. Not "necessarily by
much study outside of the Bible. With
some the acquisition and use of wide
learning is not only an opportunity but
a duty; with others it may not be so.
But all require and may get the
lessons of spiritual experience, and of
acquaintance with the needs of the
human heart. This may be done, and
each may come to have a treasury
filled with thiDgs new and old, even
while many hours of week-days are
engaged in the field, the workshop or
the counting-room.
Not the sermon, then, but the preacher
should be prepared, carefully and
prayerfully. Each meeting that he
expects to attend should be an occasion
for special, earnest prayer, that he
may be in his right place, whatever
that may be. Nor should such preparation
be confined to acknowledged
ministers. All should feel that the
meeting is theirs; each is a part of it,
as they are members of the body of
Christ. The indifference of one may
hurt or impair ine jaDor 01 oiners ; me
sympathetic exercise of all may bring
down a blessing, such that there will
not be room to receive it.
What nre Christians For?
A Christian lady, who was engaged
in work for the poor and degraded,
was once remonstrated with for going
among such a class of people.
"You sit beside these people and
talk with the in away that I do no^
think you wouid do if you knew all
about them?just what they are and
from what places they come."
Her answer was: "Well, I suppose
they are dreadful people; but it
the Lord Jesus were now on earth,
are they not the very sort of people
that He would strive to reach? And
am J bettter than my Master?"
A poor illiterate person, who stood
listening to this conversation, said
with great earnestness and simplicity
: "Why, I always thought that
was what Christians were for."
The objector was silenced, and what
wonder? Is not that what Christians
are for? If not, then what, in the
name of all that is good, are they
for ??American Messenger.
Dally Light for the Dally Life.
"Whatsoever yo shall ask the Father In my
name, He will give It you."?John xvl, 28.
Do I appreciate the fullness and bless
edutss of this promise, and do I see
and feel the full force of that word
4'whatsoever,"aud that nothing is se
trivial or of so little moment, that I
may not bring it to God In prayer? In
all my petitions do I cheerfully submit
my will and desires to His most holy
and wise will? Do I pray in faith, and
in the full confidence that, as God has
promised, He will hear and answer my
petitions for Christ's sake? And if an
answer is not at once granted, do I with
patience and faith wait for it?
As far back as I can remember, I had
the habit of thanking God for every
thing I received and of asking Him
for every thing I wanted. If I lost a
book or any of my playthings, I prayed
that I might find it. I prayed walking
along the streets, in school and out
of school, whether playing or studying.
I did not do thi3 in obedience to any
prescribed rule; it seemed natural. I
thought of God as an-every-where-present
being, full of kindness and love,
who would not be offended if children
talked to Him.?Charles Hodge, D.D
A Congregational minister, in the
Christian World heartily condemns
what he calls "the one man ministry"
?that is the same minister officiating
Sunday after Sunday in one pulpit.
He is sure that except in the rarest case
it is very monotonous and wearying to
minister and people. He favors therefore
a circuit plan wherever it is practicable.
The one man system, he says, is
doomed: "Common sense is against it
aud all the tendencies of the age are
against it." Such a system is unknown
in the Latin and Greek churches. On
the continent the Protestant pastors
change often, and where they can
preach in rotation; the variety giving
interest and securing for all the talents
lof a number of ministers.
God's Will.
A gentleman visited a deaf and
dumb asylum, and having looked
upon ail me Slieui maimen, iic
requested to ask some of them a question
by writing it upon the black
board. He did not know what ques
tion to ask, but at last he ventured to
write this inquiry in chalk upon the
board :
"Why did God make you deaf and
dumb, and make me so that I could
hear and speak?"
The eyes of the silent ones were
filled with tears: it was a great mystery.
Their cleverness made no answer,
but their piety made eloquent
reply. One of the little fellows went
up to the board, and taking the chalk,
urrnfo under the Question this answer :
"Even so, Father, for so it seemed good
in Thy sight."
N. O. Christian Advocate.
The late General Conference, in New i
York, discussed a great many ques-j
tions, and the Western Christian Advocate
wonders why there was such
an "inexplicable and ominous")
silence on tne subject of "class meet-;
ings!" The Western seems to us to
point out the cause in this sentence:
"The silence of the Conference is ominous
because it argues indifference to
the acknowledged decay into which the
class is falling." When things begin
to decay, they can no longer be used
efficienly. The class meeting of
Methodism is going, and will soon be
a thing of the past, and what is strange
is, that the pastor is running it out of
the church. He is doing the class leader's
work.
