and throwing himself on his knees he prayed that
God would show hith some way out of his dis
tress, so that his pressingnced might be'supplicd.'
As he rose and went towards the door which
led into the principal street, a poor oil "infirm wo
man, leaning on crutches, came irtj ihc church
and asked him for aluwC :IVhad.:.niy shiU
hng left, with which he had thought t6 "provide
himself with food for that day j but he . gave it to
the poor woman, with these silent word of prayer
tl0 Lord, I havebesouglit Thee for help, aud Thou
causest even the last shilling I have to be asked
of me : yet Thou knowest a way to hclp-4 know
not any." With tearful eyes he passed on j- and
just as he went out from tho church door, a noble
lookmg'man.rode by, who at the same moment
dropped bis glove. P; took ; it up and modestly
gave it ta us owner.. The gentleman, surprised
at this attention from 4 'school , boy, asked his
name. He told it ; and the stranger inquired if
he was a son or a relation of a famous surgeon of
that name. He answered that he was his son j
and the gentleman immediately asked him to dine
at his lodgings; saying, "Your father safely perform
ed a dangerous operation for me, and,-cext to God,
I owe my life to him." " ; '
My friend bowed and the stranger rode on.
At the appointed time he went as he had been in
vited to do, and' Avas most kindly and hospitably
received. When he took leave, the stranger, took
his hand, and put into'it six pieces of gold "say
ing, "Students vhtn have little expensesfor which
they do not like to apply io their kind parents.

his early walk that morningl and his prayer in The

thankfully rejoicing that when the poor woman ask

God who required it of him j and had' trusted
that God was able to help hitn, though he himself

- ANOINTING OF THE SPIRIT. '
Whnt the ancient anointings of lyings andprjests
typified the. sanctify inworlc of the Holv 5?nlrk
lelTecU upon the charaaef.ofibe Christian.- Those
Bnoinijngsypineu.the cndowmehU oftnind and
heart needful for the Fschafgc of iheofiiceto which
the nnnointed person wasiet apaft. So the unction
which "we have from the holy One fits us fvrthe
discharge of Christian .duties.' - It' implies among
other things, an enlightening of the understanding.
Hence an apostle says-i-Ve have nn unction from
the Holy One, and ye know all things that is, ye
are able to make alT heedfTV disci icriiuatbns be
tween truth and 'error. , ' Tho regenerating and
sanctify ing Spiritremoves the veil froirr the un-
derstandmg, and the blindness of the, heart, and
enables the heart by its owti eVperience. to test the
iruin. u gives tp the soul a sense of the beauty
01 uoiiness, and an apprehension of the things of
the kingdom of God, in a nev liht; and. so it
puts the mind iVsucrTn possession of Christian
doctrine that it is not possible to deceive the'very
elect. ,:.
Tliia unction also involves the purifyinT 0nd
sanctifying of the soul. The ceremony of scttin
apart a oriest bv bantism and nnctlnn tv .
of hi purification. This isreully effected by the
iinolmn r t TTt.. f . r

An Egyptian infant is the most ill-favoured ob
ject in humau creation ; a name is appliej to him
with as little ceremooy as nickname is with its ;
and, ipdeed, there are not perhaps twenty difler-
cm names distributed among the 200,000 Moslem
inhabitants of Cairo. They are almost all taken
from the Prophet or bis immediate relations and
followers. In our crew of ten men we bad five
Mahmouds, or Mohammeds, two Ib'rahecms, three
Abdalhals, and n JauV As the Egyptian grows
into childhood, he appears still more defortned,
