Have Transformed IVTen's itivPiR find Mad History. As" Geikie wisely observes, the story of separate chapters of the Bible, or evQn verses, if it could le known, would be a record of surpassing inter est. In the experience of everyone some texts shine like stars, as we think of personal trials they brightened, or death-beds of friends they cheered. Every religious life borrows thus its own secret illumination from year to year, its own galaxies and bright par ticular stars, which have soothed dis appointments, tempered calamities and filled the mind with a calm and steaarast serenity in the darkest mo ments., Human compositions catch its power as they embody its spirit and repeat its words. Kings and peas ants, philosophers - and the illiterate, martyrs and confessors, have alike' been cheered, inspired and sustained by its wondrous words. It has crea ted the loftiest poetry and the sub limest art the' world ever knew , and a' literature unique in its power and dig nity. '- . There is hardly a chapter that has not, perhaps, in some of its verses kin dled sentiments unknown to antiquity. There is a transcendent vigor and life in every page. A single verse made Anthony sell all that he had. and in troduced through his doing so, a new era in ecclesiastical history. At a sin gle warning of the epistles, Augus tine's hard 'heart was melted under the fig-tree at Milan. A single chapter of Isaiah made' a penitent believer of the profligate Rochester. A word to St . Paul nas become . the strongholdof Luther. , v Cromwell charged-, at Dunbar, to the cr?v "Arise. O God ,and let thine ene mies be scattered!" And Anthony drove away his temptations . by the same appeal. Thomas Arnold mur mured in dying: "If ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partak ers, then are ye bastards and not sons and "Blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.' Sa lina, Countess of Huntingdon, died quoting -Christ's words, "I go to my Father." Lady Jane Grey wrote in the book of the Lieutenant of the Tower before her execution:, "The day of death is better than the day of birth." Latimer, at the stake, . roused his soul by the remembrance that "God is faithful, and will not suffer us to be tempted above what we are able." Luther died crying 4 'Into thy hands I commit my spirit." The , Psalter p lone, by-its manifold applications and'' uses in after times is a vast palimpsest written over and over again, illuminated, illustrated by every, conceivable' incident and emo tion of men and of nations :battles, wanderings, escapes, death-beds, ob loquies of many ages and countries, rise, or may rise, to, our view, as we react it. W hat shall we say of a book so many-tongued, so intensely human, so authoritatively divine? V Let critics and theorists stumble at words or phttips; let some things remain to the end "hard tp -bo understood;" whose voice can. it be but God's, which rises still and holy over the turmoil of life, In a thousand persuasions, commands and promises, to warn us of danger, to guide us aright, and to soothe our infinite cares and sorrows? It is a no ble passage in which Augustine con trasts antiquity and Scripture, and gives his fealty as a Christian man must: "In Cicero and In Plato, and such writers I meet many things fine ly said, tilings that move the spirit but in none of them do I find these words: "Come untp'me all ye that la bor and are heavy hmen, and I will give you rest.' " f . Christian Herald. Her I4ttle Ways. ' "When my wife buys a $15 hat she says it will last her three years.". "That's cheap- enough." "Yes; but every season she gets S5 worth of new trimmings to put on it." THE NEXT ANNUAL FAIR O I" t 1 i. A i 1 1 w IflKF TAR-ftTVPR-i WIliHl ilia All Li i VI 7 WILL BE HELD AT V. -L. IN. oe T.
