RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ADVOCA 1886- FAMILY READING. Judge Not. BY ANNIE WELL. If, on life'veary march you find One'f ill'Mi in the race. Deal kindly with him, I implore, Nor harshly judge his case. If yo-.i as ho had tempted been, If you had borne his woe, Ton misrht have proven weak as he, And fallen just as low. And if you see some fellow-man March grandly on hisAvay, While outwardly he seemeth blessed. Don't envy him, I pray. It may be that he bears a load, Hid from the world with care, Which placed upon your heart miht prove Too great for you to bear. We only see the outer man The source of wrong and right, The thought, the soul, the inner man, Is hidden from our sight ; And often deeds we deem so pure Might well provoke our ire, And deeds we sometimes harshly blame Might spring from pure desire. Then cultivate within your heart Each lovely Christian grace. And be content to walk through life In your allotted place; And let not envy of your life Take up the smallest part, Or bitter thoughts or cruel hate, Find lodgmenMn your heart. God's Way the Best. Man would have God go according to his mind in chastening and afflict ing him. He would have God cor rect him only in such a kind, in such a manner and measure, as he would choose. He saith in his heart : , If God would correct me in this or that, I could bear it ; but I do not like to be corrected in the present way." One saith: "If God would smite me in my estate I could bear it, but not in my body another said: "If God would smite me with sickness I could bear it, but not my children or, "If God would afflict me only in a degree I could submit, but my heart can hardly yield to so great a measure of affliction' Thus we would have it according to our minds as to the measure or the continuance of our af flictions. We would be corrected for so many days, but months and years of trouble is not according to our mind. Man would have God govern, not only himself, but the whole world, according to his mind ; Man hath much of this in nim. Luther wrote to Melanchthon when he was so exceed ingly troubled at the providence of God in the world : " Our brother Philip is to be admonished." We can hardly let God alone to rule that world which himself alone hath made. Caryl. Children's Parties Dangerous Affairs. A noted physician of- London, in h's lecture on children and their dis eases, cails their attention to the fact that chi'clren's parties are dangerous affairs. Ilave mothers ever thought for a moment of the wear and tear of the little mind from the time of the invi tation to the moment the affair is in action ? Do they know the danger of improper food and drink, night air, thin clothing and shoes ? Do they realize that the little brain is in a whirl of excitement for days before and after the party that the event is talked of in the nursery that sleep is lost in uneasy, abortive dreams ? What is still worse, the ex citement continues a matter of after consideration in children of tender years ;in fact is continuous until many days have elapsed, perhaps does not disappear until another invitation is received. The pleasures, pastimes and amuse ments of children should be simple and unaffected, free from excitement and false surroundings. Parties will not enhance the pleasure or health of child-life. Mothers, bear it well in mind. A Cheerful Face. Next to the sunlight of heaven is the cheerful face. There is no mis taking it the bright eye, the uncloud ed brow, the sunny smile, all tell of that which dwells within. Who has not felt its electrifying influence ? One glance at this face lifts us out of the mists and shadows into the beautiful realms of hope. One cheerful face in the household will keep everything warm and bright within. A host of evil passion? may lurk around the dooj, 1 it they never enter and abide there ; the cheerful face will put them to shame and flight. It may be a very plain face,but there is something in it we feel, yet can not'express; and its cheery smiles send the blood dancing through our veins for very joy. Ah, there is a world of magic in the plain, cheerful face. It charms us with a spell of eternity, and we would not exchange it for all the soulless beauty that ever graced the fairest form on earth. It mr.y be a little face, but some how this cheery little face ever shines, M.d ' e shining is so bright that the shadows can not remain, and silently they creep away into the dark corners where the pleasant tace is gone. It mav be a wrinkled tace, out it s all the dearer for that, and none the less cheerful. We linger near it, and gaze tenderly upon it, and say, " God bless this dear happy face ?" We must keep it with us as long as we can. When this sweet face is gone, and after it is gone how the remembrance of it softens our wayward natures ! When care and sorrow would snap our heart-strings asunder, this wrinkl ed face looks down upon us, and the painful tension grows lighter, the way seems less dreary, and the sorrow less heavy. God bless the cheerful face I What a dreary world this would be without this heaven-born light ! And he who has it not should pray for it as his daily bread. Selected. t . ..- Lonely Laborers. Many Christians have to endure the solitude of unnoticed labor. They are serving God in a way which is ex ceedingly useful, but not at all notice able. How very sweet to many work ers are those little corners of the ne ws papers and magazines which describe their labors and successes ; yet some who are doing what God will think a great deal more of at the last never saw their names in print. Yonder beloved brother is plodding away in a countrv village : nobody knows any thing about him, but he is bringing souls to God. Unknown to fame, the angels are acquainted with him, and a few precious ones whom he has led to Jesus know him well. Perhaps yonder sister has a class in the Sunday-school ; nothing striking in her or her class ; nobody thinks of her as a remarkable worker ; she is a flower that blooms almost unseen, but she is none the less fragrant. There is a Bible-woman ; she is mentioned in the reports as making so many visits a week, but nobody discovers all she is doing forthepoor and needy, and how many are saved the Lord through her instrumentality. Hundreds of God's dear servants are serving him without the encourage ment of man's approving eye, yet they are not alone ; the Father is with them. Never mind where you work ; care more about how you work : never mind who sees if God aDDroves. If he smiles, be content. We cannot always be sure when we are most useful. It is not the acreage you sow, it is the multiplication whichGod gives the seed which makes up the harvest.You have less to do with being successful than with being faithful. Your main comfort is that in your labor you are not alone. For God, the Eternal One, who guides the marches of the stars, is with you. Reo. C. H. Spurgeon. . - A. Talk With the Boys. Distance lends enchantment," and the city looks well from the farm. Perhaps you do not see the thorns and thistles, but they grow in the city. Home discipline may be hard to bear, but in it are the germs of all success es. Parents are midway in the temple of life, and certainly must know more than those standing upon the thresh old. It is always safe to listen to the voices of wisdom and affection. You may not be permitted to control all things at home, but please remember before seeking the laige liberty of the city that you can control nothing here. You may wear store clothes, but you must be the servant of all. Liberty and ease are the fruits of toil. The boy who knows more than his parents and teachers goes to the wall in the city. Success depends upon industry, obedience, economy and purity. Brown hands, clean tongues and hearts are in great demand in the city. A country loafer becomes a city loafer, and neither country or city crowns loafers. The earthquake never breaks the ground so as to heave the gold at their feet. Boys whose noble and manly lives are the guiding impulse of the pastor's hand when writing letters of commendations, re ceive the most cordial welcome from merchants here. There is a famine of boys who feel that God is watching them, and who are true to their employers because of loyalty to their heavenly Master. The demand for such is always greater than the supply. In the city you must be gin way down, but smi'ingly submit to the inevitable, and make each day te'l how much, and not how little, good work you can do, and you will be in the line of promotion. Never desire to coin a dollar except around the golden rule. You may not accumu late as rapidly and love your neigh bor as yourself, but the smile of God is upon every dollar. Selected. Thousand that are capable of great sacrifices, are yet not capable of the little ones, which are all that are re quired of them. God seems to take pleasure in working by degrees. The progress of the truth is as the permea tion of leaven or the growth of a seed a multitude of successive small sacrifices may work more good in the world than many a Urge one. Weighed and Wanting.
