CHHIST THE POWER OF GOD. A Word to Men About Lent. tew ttuogs appeal to men so much as power. Power to conceive, to cany out, and to effect; power to endure and attain: this in bis cjes is something to bo admired, coTeted and cultivated. A man of power baa ii himself the clement and capacities of greatness, and tbe idea oi greatness 1 specially attrac tive to tbe manJr mind. V e are a ereat nation, and we produce great men. Tbere are different kinds of CTeatncjs and different kinds of power. Militaiy greatness is differ ent from civil greatness, and moral greatneEs is different from either. We admiie the power whereby a general leads armies to conquest, or n statesman directs tbe fortunes oi a tation, but we admire far more the power by which a man conquers and controls himself.. " The moral hero is greater in the ejes of a true man than the military or civil hero. In fihort,he recognizes goodness to bo the greatest power in the world;greatness itself, for it is the power of God; greatest in its effects, for it appeals to the highest part of a man's na ture, and converts bim and makes him divine.- Moreover, its sphere is unlimited, for wherever man is, there is goodness may be, the pow er which is given to bim wbertbe be becomes a son of God. I speak 'as Christians. To cot Chkjst I ear, to them a Christian to tbos-o who know have nothing to as to unbelievers of old. He is a tumbhngbIock" and foolishness." There are plerfty such in the present day, for infideli ty is rife among.us, and is on tbe in crease. Just for this vtry reason it is important that we who believe in Cueist should recognize Him to be the Author and principal of all true moralty, the power of God to us. The .Christianity of the modern man is cautious, timid reserved. It is alwavs on the defensive, it sus pects God as much as it believes Him; is afraid of committing itself altogether to bis di.posal; is nervous where it should be courageous, and niggardly where it should be gener ous. It Ucis heroism; wniie pro- fes&incr to call God. his friend, it practically treats Hiui as its enemy Anything more unlike the npint of primitive Christianity to which it is so fond of apixialicg, can hardly be conceived, lhe power of ttie early Christian was Chkjst: the power of the Christian of t day is something Icks than CnLtsr. We are not bcroc3 bccausc,tbongh we mar be williiiir to a'?e.)t Christ as our Siviorn, few of us are ready to commit ourselves to Jlim as our life; and tint'' Christ is our life, He will never be the power of God to us. Wo adrairo Cna'sr. Even the weakest and most insipid of us can do that. Ins very enemies bear wit ness that never man was so divine. But admiration which is onlv admiration is as useless to us as it is offensive to Him. If men had merelv admired Christ, would thero ever havo been martyrs! To know CincrsT we must know "the rower of His sufferinir " and bo mado conformable to his death. Anything less than this is an insult to llts Divinity and to our man hood. Shew me thy faith by . thy works." If yon are a Cbristian.live in the power of Chcist, be crucified in the power ox UPtisr. oue sea- eon of Lent, which is jnst begining, wiH prove your worth. It is a time of special praver, fastinir and alms giving, a time in which true men with hearts be crucify themselves with Cnusr, and not one in which they merclr accept crucifixion5 at the hands of others. What do yon know of self denial! How can it bo said of you that you die daily? Do you know what it is to forcxro an innocent pleasuro for the love of Chcist! Do you know what it is to wrestle with principal! ties and power of darkness, striving against sin? Do you know what it is to keep under your tleh and bring it into subjection, so that yon bear in you body the marks of the mor tincations oi jescst Are you glad to be counted a fool for Cueist's sake! If not, be ashamed of your self and your Christianity, for you aro a sham, and it is a fraud. . Go home and ask yourself what the Cross meant for Chcist, and what it means for you. AhS'you going to leave the glory of the Cross to those weaker than yourself? Are the Churches to be left to tbe wo men, duriag Lent, because men are ashamed .to bo seen there? Are your sisters to be1 found alone at early Communion " because their brothers are not strong enough to go thort of an hour's sleep! Are yoa goiag to mock God by making an Easter Communion when you have been afraid to keep Lent. Or are vou going to shew yourself at last a man, faithful to the promise yoa have made, true to the came yoa bear, not ashamed to confess tho faith of Chtust crucified, glory ing in the Cross, strong in the pow er of God.

No one need be surprised that there are difficulties connected with the Bible. Nature is full of mystery and phenomena that cannot yet be explained. Tbe JJiblo is a revelation of the infinite, and such a revelation must always present difficulties to the finite mind. Maov of the objections to the Bible are of a superficial nature, and come lrom those who never read it. Others read it carelessly, and only m spot's having no accurate knowl edge of the Book as a whole. It must bs remembered that the Bible is really a collection of sixty six books, a library in itself, written by different men, during a period of nearlv two thousand years, in differ ent languages, and in an age and country, where manners and customs were wholly unbke those that pre vail among us. The question may be raised, wny was there this gradual revelation of the divine mind, why so many cen turies between Moses and John It may suffice to remember that this is in perfect- analogy with the divine method in nature and in pro vidence. Vast ages were occupied in bringing the earth into its pre sent perfectness, and humanity waited four thousand years for Beth lehem's advent hymn. Tbere is no hurry in the divme workincr. He who sees tre end from the beginning and who has eternity to work in, need be in no baste. " But why, others enquire, was not the Bible given to all men why did God so long restrict His revela tion of Himself to a single race ? Here again, we mubt look for analogy in nature and providence. Wbv do some race dwell in the favort-d temperate zone, and others shiver amid the rigors of a winter that never ends? Why do some races enjoy a refined civilization, and others still live :u the dark shadows of the Stone Age? This much is certain, the Judge of all the earth will do right, and those that have never received a written revelation will not be judged by it3 light But, may wo not be too narrow in our view of God's dealings with men in this respect t Did no light of truth corue to Contucius, to Buddha, and to Soc rates? All truth is of God, and whatever of truth lies embedded even in tbe ! now corrupt ami effete religious of the Orient, are sparks from God's own anvil "All milk is white," even though the kino bo of "varied hue." "God fulfils himself in many ways, lest one good custom should corrupt the world." It is affirmed by some that there are passages in the Bible not fit to bo read, as certain parts of the old ceremonial law, and deeds of lust and blood, as recorded in the Old Testament. There are laws upon our statute books, not put there for the purpose of general readiDg, and yet no one would have them repealed, or charge that tho act of Legislature in pas-sing them was immoral. The Bible records many deeds that it does not approve, records them for our instruction and warn ing. From first to last, it is a pure Book, never condoning sin, or re presenting it in any other way, than that "abominable thing that God bates." The miracles of the Bible are difficulty with many, but not . to those who believo in a personal God, who made the world, and who is not under bonds to the laws that He Himself has made, He Himself be ing tho source of all law, and His word and will the supremo law. What some have misnamed a vio lation of law is only the incoming of a new principle, as when trees grow, birds By, and balloons rise, not in violation of gravitation, but by the intervention of a higher lav. To those who can truly say,. "I j believe in God, the Father Al- mighty," the miracles of the Bible present no difficulty. In this article I have restricted the discussion of general principles, not taking up the few hackneyed objections that have been made by hundreds of infidel writers and speakers, and which have been met and answered again and again, such as the matrim6nial adventures of Cain, the ass that spake, and the fish that swallowed Jonah. These aro drv and old-time ob jections, only in these days brought up by speakers of the Ingersol type. Inject the Bible and we must walk in darkness. It is that or nothing. No one pretends to offer a substitute. "XT ICeject the Bible, and the ques tions whence and whither, must ever remain unanswered; man's life is a conundrum, and his destiny an enigma. It would bo just as sensible to close our eyes to the liffbt of tho sun, becauso astronomers, do not agree concerning the source of its light and heat, as to shut our minds against the light of revelation, because there are heights in God's truth that we cannot bcale and depths that we cannot fathom.

The crane stands at one side by the hour, just pluming himself, then picking at shoe buttons and finger rings. Occasionally he is in dnlcred in a favorite pastime that of taking the hairpins out of his mistress' hair.

It has hitherto been supposed that in Egypt the practice of embalming the bodies of the dead and forming them into mummies was the most ancient method of sepulture, but Professor Flinders Petri e, the well known Egyp tologist, has by recent excavations thrown quite a new light upon this question of the ancient method of dis posing of the dead. At Deshasheh, place about 50 miles south of Cairo, he has discovered a scries of tombs, in the coffins of which he has found complete skeletons from which the flesh has been carefully dissected, evidently previous to burial. The coffins are of admirable workmanship, are made of sycamore and are in perfect preservation not withstanding their 5.000 years' burial in the sand. It remains to be proved by further excavations whether the mutila tion of the bolies was performed as a ceremonial rite or whether this removal of flesh from the bones points to canni balism on the part of the ancient peo- nhDnhpTs' Journal He Conlda't Understand It.
