NATTERS TO TIIIXK ABOUT AJfD Ministers. A minister cannot afford to be damn ed hy common fame. It is meet that when tharged xvilh falsehood, xvith practices inconsistent with his higl calling, he should demand the most thorough investigation, aud challenge the most rigid scrutiny. Nor can he aliord to rest content under any charge that xvquIu injure Ins good name. lie is to le an example to the flock. No matter if he be falsely accused, and if he be mercilessly treated though hi brethren may persist in being blind and ileal to justice or appeal, and do al in their poxver to mortify and degrade him he must submit for Christ s sake and show hy action and by speech that he will not rest contented under a mis apprehension, and tiiat he xvill bear a bright ca. uti-heon end keep an unsul lied character that he may be the yes sei of the Lord's house and minister in the holy place. Ministerial trials are related to success in the pulpit. In the ladder of success the rounds arewrought out of suffering. Like Paul, a minis ter, though troubled on every side, -but not distressed, persecuted, but not I L r 11 unlet ctati.l 111 tlm twiloif mi forsaken, must stand in the pulpit on God's holy day, amoug a people that he knowns, with a lace all agloxv with the light of heaven. In speaking of the trial of ministers I do not confine my thought to the txvo or three brought before their fellows. I speak and think quite as much of those xvho sit in judg men t as of those judged. The accusers are on trial as surely as are the accused. It is essential for Christian prosperity, lor the future of the Church, that this fact beheld in mind. Ministers cannot th ro xv axvay the garments of salvation and wrangle like men in a court of laxv, and hold their place in public regard. Be Sure You are Itig-ht then fgf Ahead." " ever commence a work until you have vvell considered the end." In order to succeed in any enterprise, there must be some right point Irom which to start. I he hr,st important step to take 111 life is to beurin early to lorm right princi pies. They xvill aid one in pursuing a course 01 conduct which xvill be for eter nal good. In this country, xvhere aris toe racy is at a discount, every person must xxork in order to succeed. What matter though an occupation be con sidered bx some as less dignified than certain other pursuits? If it be dili gentlyiand perseveringly folloxved, suc cess will attend vour efforts. It is a great mistake to suppose that an employment because it is laborious is not quite as respectable as one that requires a less amount of hard work; that the man who sxx ings a sledge, pounds an anvil, drives a plane, mends or makes shoes or digs in the earth, or the xvooian who plies a needle for a livelihood, is not quite as honorable in his or her calling as those xvho stand be hind counters, xvield pens or sit in pro fessional h;iirs. If an employment is lionesq one is just as xvorthy of regard as another and is entitled to the respect of mankind. In connection with this there hnust bes'.riel economy. No tier son relying upon his oxvn unaided re gard to his expenditures. LVoiiumx is not stinginess, but a careful husband ing of ones gains. Every young man shoufil lay aside a part of his earnings every .week or month, ami the amount thus sived mav be the means of mak- ing hi.4 fortune when an opportunity is offered toinx'est to advantage. Princely merchants have begun life xx ith little or no capital, ami rich nie chanitf, builders and manufacturers xvho began life in the same xvay, by habitsiof industry and economy xvork ed thejr xvay up until they have con1 trolled the great business enterprises of the day. There are men also in the pro fessions xvho came from obscurity, anil who. Ijy patient toil and sterling integ rity, lijave risen to prominence and are ornaments to the positions which they till. There is nothing that xxili sooner blast ajyouiig man's social, commercial and tn)L;il prospects than the formation of intemperate habits. Full three fourths of all the failures of our young men nta v be attributed to this cause. The JrHiil-.Motlier of Christ. The Itiine at xvhich Ruth and Naomi arrix cijl in Judah from the land of Moah, said Mjr. Talma-i-e, xvas li:irvet time. It xvas fhe custom in those days xvhen a husbandman-dropped a sheaf from the xvagonffor him not to stop; that sheaf xvas to he for the poor. Kuth was so fair anil beautiful she xvould not want to blister her hands in the held. Boaz goes out one day to see the reapers gath ering Li 1 the field, and right behind the sxxarthy, sunburnt reapers he beholds the beajutilul gleaner, more fit to stoop to a harp than to bow among the sheaves. It xvas love at first sight. In the attachment xvhich IJoaz formed for Kuth a'll Christendom is interested, for she aftt'i xvaril became the ancestress of the Lord Jesus Christ, our King of J lory. ; In tlje lirst place, we learn from this subject that trouble develops charac ter. Itj was bereavement and exile and poverty that developed Ruth's charactier. Trouble is an educator. It takes iorroxv and persecution to devel op men, women, churches, nations'. iod nexer smites xvith a hammer but to make something. Again, xve learn the beauty of untiring friendship. When ; distress came, Naomi was not troubled with many callers. JIoxv niaiiy (friends had she? Only one- Ruth, t Paths xvhich open in darkness end in 1 irreat iov.

To the heart this is ' x. s me peerless passage, uecause oui i its frairant tiosom von ee a flood of svm- "T ' 1 pathetic! tenderness burst from the breast of Jesus, while tears fall like iiamaiiL uvaviu viii nj a Aiwv. v. , m v . -.. rain drops from His eyes. The pathetic seene of sobs and weeping unveils the pei fectly simple, sincere and artless oharacter of the Redeemer in our full humanity, as "bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh." These words are a key which opens to us His whole in spection of sorrowing love. These tears were all divine, for through their mist you see God's embodied glory; and they were all human, for they xvere xvept by one touched xvith all the bro kenness of sobbing humanity. In the act of bringing Lazarus, His gentle dis ciple, from the sepulchre, His pure sympathy burst all its flood-gates, and as he xvept as a child, xvithout speaking a word, each tear that fell to the turf was His pledge to xvipe away all tears from our eyes. THE HIDDKN SORROW. We are all conversant with the scene and historical tear, but this is far sur passed by the unseen and unxvritten in the mysterious processes of heartache. Men shed more tears internally than externally. Lifelong existence of this sort of progress from stage to stage, un knoxvn to any but the timid, lone suf ferer. Hard words, cruel neglect, and harsh treatment create inward convul sions through the dreary lives of many, after the example of Solomon's eom plainer, " Miue eyes sleepeth, but my heart xvaketh xxith them." The tear hangs the heart in miniature on the eyelid, where it becomes the visible sign of invisible grief to but fexv hu man spectators. The eye of God counts them up in the alabaster cup of many a soul over whieh no human eyt- bends. None of us are free from the pangs of social bereavement which filled the soul of Rachel when she saxv her bale withered, all its charms gone and re fusing to be comforted xvept as if her heart would break. Naomi represents others, xvhen she returned to Bethle hem, saying, " The Lord hath dealt very bitterly xvith me; I xvent out lull and came home empty," for she had left her husband and txvo sons lying side by side in the graves of a foreign land. All of us are sadlx- familiar w ith the sight of our loved ones lying in our embrace pale and cold, the limbs still', the eyelids closed and the lips un responsive to the pressure of our kiss, waile the adored form is veiled in a shroud of snoxv xvhituiiess and the si lent room echoes back the sob of an ach ing heart; xvhen the lixing bonds of hearts are torn asunder bitter tears are the oozing signs of severed lives. Now, the time is coming when God will wipe axvay every tear from the eyes of His people tears of personal affliction, of social trial, of family be reavement, of broken friendship and of godly compassion for the souls of others all tears of every sort. Lven noxv God sympathizes xvith us in our weeping. That is a touching prayer of the Psalmist, "Rut thou my teais in thy bottle." He borrows it from the tear bottles of the ancient Hebrews. When one person xvas dead another collected the failing tears of the be reaved company in the height of tlieir grief and preserved them in a bottle, and xvas put into the sulpuichre of the dead as a memorial of the sorrow of his frie..ds. -o the Rsalniist asks of God that his tears may be ever before him, as if he had carefully bottled each of them. The thought is unspeakably precious that the soft, gentle hand of our Father xvill one day dry up ail the tear sluices and: xvipe the tears axx ax- fore ver by Emanuai. his Son, God, xvith us. lie xvill prove the xerity of His xvord. Thehand xvhich still bears the scars of the nails that pierced them is to brush axvay our tears. Noxv He leaves His acts of solace to the hands of His ministers and to His holy angels. Rut the stirring breath of dix mity tells us that xvhen the last tear is xviped axvay the hand ot the man who xvept at Bethany shall do the act of eternal banishment. What a wonderful pic ture -John draxVs. Our loving High Priest rising irom His throne, and as the last redeemed one arises in His presence He xvill assuage the last pain, relix e the last xvoe anil remove the last tear, and so end the t raged v of sin and the sorrow of sin xvhich has bi.terlv reached the heart forever and ever. He xvill do this etl'ectuallx-, and repen tance and pox erty and pain and parting shall never extort ano.ner ear. Aiueveli and its Palaces. Jonah, iv., 11 "And xvhy should I not spare Nineveh, that great city?" There are three sources of information, as to the origin, extent and fall ol" Nine veh -the Bible, the dreek historians, and cuneiform inscriptions. These au thorities snx'chronize in the main and supplement each other. It ,s a high and just compliment to the Scriptures that thev contain the earliest record of those mighty empires which xvere born in the Valley of the Euphrates. With out that record we have no re.iable facts touching the lirst thirty centuries subsequent to the creation. Ail eise is apochrvphal. The history of Ninex'eh covers a period of sixteen centime.-. It xvas the heart ol an empire that e.icni- ed from the Persian liuif to the Cas pian Sea and from Persia to the Medi terranean. There can he no doubt a-s to the high eixilization of the N inevites; intellectually they stand at the head oi the Asiatic races. Thev are the e iuals of the Japanese in bronze xx ork, of the Chinese in ivory: xxork, of the Vene tians in colored glass xvare, of the -Jews 111 rich embroiderx" and in their mar vellous bas-i-eiiels. On the alabaster walls of their palaces were sculptured in relief flowing rivers, mountains cov ered xvith trees, triumphal processions, and, in a xvord, the daily life of the peo ple. The city xvas an oblong souare sixty miles in cqreuit, and at each cor ner were royal palaces and sacred tem ples. These points xvere cal led Kuyun- je.k, Nimrood, Knosebed Karmales and praise. On all the xvallsof the corridor and hall of the throife room and libra ry, xvere the most elegant sculptures, and were they arranged in a line they would extend to not less than txvo miles. Adjoining it stood the palace of Assu-beni-pel, with fioxvery ro- etted ceilings and arched doorxvays. In this palace jived Saracus, the last king of Nineveh. Recent excavation have proved that there nex er xvas an Assy rian king by the name of Sardanapalus; but the king xvho fired his palace at the destruction of the city xvas Saracus, the son of Setinacherib. Two Hebrew pro phets foretold the fall of the empire and the destruction of the capital. They de scribed the moral condition of the peo ple who were tojbe conquerers,how the the city was toi be captured and its present desolation. Recent excava tions have brought to light whole li braries of inscribed tablets. corres ponding with Bible facts and the his tory of creation and of the flood, as given by Moses, is confirmed in all es sential points by what is recorded in these tables and equally significant is the fact that not! far from the nalace of Sennacherib is the tomb of the pro phet Jonah. Like the coming spirit from another world, he entered that splendid city about KOO B. C, and in re sponse to his earnest call for repen tance the people turned from their sin.s and Jonah proved himself the greatest revivalist known in the history of the Church. The Drunkard.
