Volume XXXV. IN ESSENTIALS, UNITY" ; IN NON-ESSENTIALS, LIBERTY; IN ALL THINGS, CHARITY. SUFFOLK, YA., FEIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1882 N umber 5. i THE YEAR OF RELEASE. BY MARYANNS FARNINGHAM. When the bells rug their peel through the win terly air, And startled the worshippers hushed as in pr^isr, When the people turned gladly %o friends who were near And whispered, “God give you a happy new year,” A fiat Went forth from God’s chamber of peace, “To some there is dawning the year of release.” They knew not the sign that was pnt on their brow, These happy ones soon in His presence to bow, When the late light came in aud began a new day They saw not the messenger placed in the way; They.said, “Will the toil and the sorrow in crease ?’' Nor dreamed they had cntpred their year of re lease. With courage they patiently turned to their task For strength, not deliverance, dared they to ask; They sighed as they took up their burdens again Of sorrow and weariness, sickness and pais, Kor ventured to hope that their troubles would cease, Ur joy become theirs iu this year of release. Ob, could they but know what the new year will bring, With glad gongs of freedom and hope they would sing! How willingly suffer and toil for awhile, Thinking nye of their Lord and his welcoming smile; And “the patience of hope” would grow strong and increase, As they counted the days of their year of release For, ere it bos passed, the King’s face they shall see, And ever from sorrow and sighing be free; The things that perplex them shall all be made plain, And the evil of sin never touch them again, They will gain the bright country of pleasure and peace, Thrice happy ones living their year of release. Who are they, thus near to the end of their way With sad faces meeting that wonderful day* We know not, they know not, the Master alone Sees who shall have rest in the joy of His throne. We may say while our spirits grow strong iu ills peace, “It may be—it may be—roy year of release.” Let us live with that hope in our hearts day by d*y, We can bear that which passes so swiftly away There is work yet unfinished, tasks yet to fulfil, And lessons to learn cf our Father’s good will: Let us spend, as for Uim, the time shortly to cease, And God make us meet for our year of release. — Christian World. ^eUctiong. LITTLE BY LITTLE.” With loving thoughtfulness and care God said to Isiael of old, con cerning the peoples in possession of the laud of promise, “By little and little will I drive them out from be fore thee.” “Little by little” is God’s law of beneficence in nature. The light of day does not come in one uiagnittccut burst of sudden bril liancy, flooding inouutaiu undhill and valley with glory, but gently, grad nally, “little by little,” so that its taint beginning can scarcely be dis cerned as it touches the horizon in the east. Not by one great hydraulic pressure does the sun force the moisture from earth into the heavens, but with ten thousand unseen forces is for ever pumping from every brook, and river,, and lake, and sea, and ocean the par ticles of water, silently, steadily, “lit tie by little,” so small as to be invisi ble. The clouds that gather over our heads empty their treasures, not by rivers, hut drops ; drop by drop they come,- and these make the UnUsons, the Mississippi*, the Oregons. The seed that the husbandman plants beneath the soil does not bouud by one leap unto the harvest, but first the blade, then the stalk, and then the full corn iu the ear; “little by Tittle,” uutil the magnificent fruit age fills onr barns and granaries. “Little by little” is the diviue law of benefleeuce iu human life. “By little and little” the yonth grows into the knowledge and eon trol of business nntil iu manhood he deals with millions more easily than once with hundreds. “Little by lit tle” the studeut enlarges his intellec tual stores, enriches the world or thought, aud matures into scholar ship, before which the world bows in admiration and homage. “Little by little’ the artist increases in force and fulness of creative imagination, in delicacy of tastj njd skill of execu tion, until with pencil and palette be makes the painted canvas speak to ojir hearts, or until, with mallet and chifel, he makes the marble t/t'aCue seem almost to ttirill with life. “By little and little” the statesman climbi the ladder until be stands upon tlit summit of distinction and honorable fame. This, too, is God's law of benefl cence in Ohiistian work. “By little and little” he extends bis kingdom of truth and grace. The mustard seed growing into the tree, the leaven leavening the whole lump, the handful of corn on the top of the niouutain shaking like Lebauou, the stone cut nut of the side of the rnouu taiu filling the whole earth; these are inspired symbols that embody this law of development as it has obtained in the history of the Church of God The little hand of believing, praying ones waited at Jerusalem until they were ended with power from on high. Then they went forth To conquer the world by truth and love. The Sacra mental Host, following its banner of the bloody cross, steadily, slowly, !“little by little,” overcome opposing hosts, and won its bloodless victories for the “Prince of Peace.” “By little aud little” the Sabbath school teacher, the Bible reader, the minister of God, the Christian work er of every class, carries forward the work of the Master, winniug souls, inspiring enthusiasm, and upbuilding the church of the Living God. This, also, is God’s law of benefl cence in spiritual life. “By little and little” does he who has enlisted under the banner of King Etnanuel, grow7 strong aud victorious in the Christian conflict. The field of your battle, Christian comrade, is your own soul. The enemies to be conquered are self and sin, envy, ha tred. malic?, prejudice, pride, uucliar itahleness, bigotry, appetite, passion, and a host of evil things. The victo ry to be won is self-conquest, self poise, the enthronement of your true manhood through riches of grace iu Christ Jesus. But this icsult is not reaehed by one mighty struggle aud a single grand triumph. “By little and little,” a victory to-day aud an other to-morrow, do you become “more than couquerer;” by slow, steady progress from conversion to the consummation, when the golden crown shall be placed upon the brow immortal, aud the ballalujah of tri Qmph shall be “grace, grace unto it.” OUiWl we UUt luitumut IV. IUI little f Sometimes, it may be, you are uearly discouraged, and wonder you make so small spiritual attain ments and accomplish so little in spiritual work. Remember “by little and little will L drive them out.” A little victory is better than a little defeat. A little step forward aud up ward is greatly better than one back ward and downward. Every little bolps to make, and is part of tbe maguiUcent whole. But thankful for it. Shall we rest content with the lit tle t Nay, rather, let our conception, our desire, aud our effort embrace the entireness of activity and experi ence and knowledge to which we must attain. “I shall be satisiied when I awake with thy likeness.” Shall we not carefully watch the little f Is not sometimes the heart’s cry, “Oh, if I could wiu 'some Splen did achievement; could do some great thing; then I should feel as il I was of some use” f Well, that is natural; yet the great may uever come within yonr opportunity. But the littles are right at hand all the time. Take cure of the ever-pressing little, aud yon will be ready for the great, if it offers. “He that is faithful iu the least will be faithful also in much.” By blow after blow you must win the victory. You must take step after step and step by step if you would gain the prize. ‘•Thus bravely like heroic men, A consecrated band; Lite is to tiieui a battle-field, ”l'beir heart a holy laud.1' ‘•By little anti little” is the assur ance whiuh our Kiug hath inscribed upon our banner.—Vkriitiun Weekly. WHAT WE OWE TO POOR CHILDREN. The world owes some of its richest treasures to those who were deemed unfortunate in youth, and who look ed to others at that unsheltered peri oil for pity, protection and help. America was discovered by Colum bus. He was a hard worked boy, and ofteu knew the need of sufficient food. We owe our freedom ofrelig ion, which has made our institutions what they are, to Luther. There former once was a hungry boy, sing ing ballads in the street to procure brend aud tbe means of an education. Oar advances in scieuce with Frank liu ; yet the inventor,ate his penny roll in the streets of Philadelphia, when a lad, aud knew what it was to feel all alone in the world. We owe the beginning of our ootton mills to Sir Richard Arkwright. Ha was | the youngest of a family of thirteen children, ami his father was a barber, j The blot of slavery was removed from , our land by the peu-stroke of Alira ! ham Lincoln. He ate the bread oi hardship in childhood, and weut as |poorly clad as the humblest child in the streets of any country vilage to day. The President of the United j States was once a poor, hard work ing, friendless boy. The great missionary explorer of the century is Ur. Liviugstoue. He learned Latiu from a book ou his loom while at work, aiid. be once said proudly, on completing his education, “1 never had a dollar that 1 did not earn.” Professor He.yne, one of the greatest scholars that Germany or the world ever produced, was a pen uiless child. “Want,” said he, “was the companion of my childhood. 1 well remem tier my mother’s distress, when without food for her children, I have seen her ou a Saturday evening, weeping ami wringing her hands as Hhe returned home, having been uua ble to sell tiro goods that my father had made.” A kind family helped him in his distress at sehool, and in so doing honored themselves and their country in a way they did uot ureani. Some forty years ago there lived iu one of the country towns of New York, a slender little factory girl. She speaks of early recollections ol “noise and tilth, bleediug bauds, sore feet, and a very sad heatt.’, She says, “I used often to rise at two o’clock in the morning, and do tiie washing for the family.” She found friends. That girl was afterwards kuowu to the world, first as Fanny Forester, the authoress, ami after ward as Emily Chubbuck Judsou, the wife of the eminent missionary, Ad onirani Judson. He who protects, assists, and edu cates friendless children, makes the best contribution to the future that human resource can find. He builds himself a monument, not in marble but in influence. Lips will call him blessed when moss is filling the let ters of his cenotaph. He lives for ends that do not terminate in himself. —Childhood's Appeal. A LOST CIVILIZATION. Sir William Jones, iu his voyage to India, fonud iu the Island of Jo hanna, a secluded speck iu the Atlan tic off the coast of Africa, this in scription in Arabic,-above the door of a mosque: uTlie world was given for our edili catiou ; not for the purpose of raising sumptuous dwellings. ‘•Life, for the discharge of moral and religious duties ; not for pleasur able indulgence. “Wealth, to l>e liberally bestowed ; not avariciously hoarded. “Learning, to produce good ac tions ; not empty disputes.’ ’ The people who were guided by these maxims, if any people ever were, certainly exhibited a high de gree of civilization. It seems a great inisfortcue that they should have per ished from the earth. Yet,it' such a race existed now, and they possessed a country worth anything, some An glo-Saxon race would kill them off, or drive them out, and take posses sion of their lauds, and whatever else they might have worth stealing.— iSelected. GIVING 1S-6ETTING. One of the plain paradoxes which is of widest application in the realms of rniud and of matter, of nature and of grace, is, that true gain comes ouly through loss; that hoarding is im poverishing ; that there is no way of keepiug one’s bold on a desired good, like parting with it; that acquisition is a result of expenditure ; that div iding is multiply iug ; that scattering is increasing ; that spending is sav ing; that giving is getting. This paradox it is which onr Lord Jesus enunciated when he declared “It is more blessed to givo than to receive;” and which Paul had iu mind, when he urged the remembrance of these words of our Lord. The paradox which is thus affirmed in revelation, is confirmed iu our every day exper ience ; aud unless we realize its truth, and act on it unvaryingly, we shall so far fail in securing aud holding the truest material, mental, aud moral treasures possible to us. Bodily strength comes from its expenditure, not from its hoarding. Every wise use of a muscle adds to the power of that muscle. An arm carried in a sling for its presevatiou stiffens aud withers. Au arm which swings a great hammer takes on largeness and vigor with every gen erous sweep through the air. Keen ness of sight and quihkuess of hear ing comes from the constant taxlug I Q( eye. and ear, not from ttyir shield ing. An Arab of the desert can see and bear with ten times tbe acute ness and discriininaliou-&fa monk oi the convent; becanse the one has kept ia play those senses which tbe other has permitted to retnaiu inac tive. And when bodily strength or life seems failing, tbe truest way, its regaining is often by itsjinereased outlay. A <juick walk tu' the cold, braciug air of a winter's morning will warm tbe chilling blood for tbe whole day as no Cowering over a blaring tire will do. ‘‘Numb and wmry in ibe uiountvtus^ woutdst tbou sic njamidst the mow 7 Chafe the frofeu for,n beside thee, and together both shit! glow.” It is the use not the possession, ol any material treasure, that gives it its highest value. Merely to have it, bears 110 comparison in pleasurable ness with its right employment.— Food is absolute worthless except lor eating, The man who starves at the open door of his full larder, is even more of a sufferer than he who fam ishes without the sight of food. Well filled library shelves are of no benefit to their owner, so long as the] books reinaiu there unopened. But the best volume ou those shelves would have an wlded value to its user, if it weie •‘real to pieces.” Money gath ered and tept for its own sake in creases life discontent and cravings of its holder: while money sought and haudled for its beneficent uses, \ gives pleasure and satisfaction to I bim wild,employs it. As a rule, men j and woulvn of ample means shrink more fr<*tn the outlay' of money for their personal convenience and enjoy ment, or for the giving of pleasure to others, r.nd'really shave lessj <of the delights which money using might secure than persons of more ^limited income who have no desire for mon ey as money ; no wish to be rich, iu comparison with the thought of living and doing richly. Straitened cireum stances are quite likely to increase with growing accumulations of wealth; and unsatisfied cravings for riches are exaggerated by every effort at their satisfaction. “There is”—indeed there is—“that witbhold eth mire is meet but it teudeth to poverty.” And the pinch of poverty itself iau never nip so sharply as the i pinch of withholding avarice. Our mental faculties gain through I their usiug, aud have power in pro portion to their expenditure. A good memory is a memory that is taxed heavily ; and tie heavier the burdens which are laid on it, the greater the capacity for burden-bearing. The imagination is cultivated by allowing it play, not by holding it in check. Giving out thought in speech or writ ing increases one’s treasures of thought, as well as one’s ease and power of expression. Indeed, it is only by giving out that one fairly gets anything, in tbo line of mental furnishing. This it is that makes it impossible to gain knowledge while merely a passive recipient of instruc tion. It is as though the cells of the mind hud doors lhat opeued only outward. An attempt to push them in, by a teacher who comes with in formation worth leaving there, may seem for the moment to be successful; but the next moment tbo rebounding doors fly back to their place again, sweeping away the stores which bad been pressed against them. It is only when the mental doors are open ed from within, by the asking of a question, or the restatement of a received truth, or by some active out giving of the intellectual faculties, that there is lull access to the mind’s treasure bouse for it added furnish ing. It is not until we have said n thing that we are sure of it; and by every fresh giving away of a thought we are getting a new bold on it. In onr moral and spiritual nature, the same principle prevails as in our 'bodilv and mental natures. It is the i using, not the having, of our powers, that makes-them a source of enjoy ment to us. The mole affection we lavish, the more affection we have remaining. Indeed, there is no such thing as affection except in outgoing; in giving. True affection is never seltixli; it cannot be. Here is the difference between affection mid de sire; between loving aud craving. As President Hopkius has said < “It is of the very nature or the affections that they give; and of the desire that they receive. The affections . . . are disinterested ; they flow out from us; they give, and appropriate noth ing. That is not affection, which is not disinterested.” The exercise of affection is ennobling, enlarging, ex hilarating. Desire brings discomfort and unrest. Affection brings enjoy meul aud content. Hence it is that there is a delight and a blessing in giviug, which there cancot be in receiving. When 11 child receives gifts, tn selfishly employs what has been giv en hitn, his desires are exercised, and by their very exercise they are strengthened and inteusijed. Uut when the child gives to others, it is his affections which are exercised.and which are enlarged by their exercise. " By the one course, lie is uarrosed ami shut in on himself; by the other his heart is expanded, and made gladt in its larger freedom ami its greater ; play. As with the child, so with , those of us of any age. Only as we j i give,s do we get anything that is | | worth getting. Only in our enjoy- I j meat in social life and in all onri friendships hinges on our power to i jgive help or happiness to delight in i the intercourse. If we find that our j atTections, our ministry, our presence, j ; is a source of comfort or pleasure, we I recognize a blessing just there. But j | if we cannot give helpful I y in that! direction, nothing that we there re ! ceive can compensate for our failure to impart good gifts. Our enjoyment in the truths and! the duties and the privileges of the , Christian life is made dependent, in : the plan of God, on our making use of them for others. It is our prayiug and trusting for some one else, that we find the fullest gain of prayer and faith for ourselves. We get a new hold on every Bible promise or in spired word of cheer that we press on our needy fellows. A good teacher is sure of getting knowledge through his efforts at giving knowledge, whether his scholars are gainers or not. He w ill help himself in his very trying to be a help to them. It is | only when our religions activities are in generous self-forgetfulness, that | we experience their highest personal: benefits “Is thy crus* of comfort waisting? Rise and j share it with another, And through all the years of famine, it shall 1 serve thee and thy brother. “Lore divine will fill thv storehouse, or thy j handful still renew ; Scanty fare for oue will often make a royal feast j for two ; “For the heart grows rich in giving ; all it* \ wealth is living grain. Seeds, which mildew in the garner, scattered, fill ; with gold the plain.” —S. 1\ SUCCESS OR FAILURE. How different men’s ideas e cess! How differently a man’s life is estimated by his contemporaries and by future generations! Paul the apostle is uow regarded by the world as one of the greatest men that ever lived, and it is conceded that he did more than anybody else to establish and extend the church of Christ. Bat what did his old neighbers of Tarsus think of him ? When they heard that he had joined the Nazareues.did they not say to each other, “Saul has gone crazy; he has thrown himself away 1” And when reports came from time to time that he had been mobbed or scourged or imprisoned in various places, didn’t they say again, ••I told you so. What a fool that Saul is I He is a splendid scholar, and might have become a leading member of the Sanhedrim if he had! stayed in Jerusalem and kept his! senses. But now he goes about rav- | ing abont Jesus of Nazareth, until Ifc I gets arrested and punished as a dis turber of the peace—hue business that lor one as well born aup educat ed as he J” No doubt they looked upon him very much as we should look upon one of our very best citi zens who should suddenly embrace some uew ism and go preaching it in our streets. And when these Tarsus people and the people iu Jerusalem, who knew him when a student there, heard that he had been beheaded at Home, they all thought and said: “What a failure! He had great ability and grand opportunities, but he sacrificed them all because he had a sun stroke on his journey to i.'a mascus.’’ We may imagine a party of fisher men on the sea id Galilee, talking about Simon, the son of Jonas. They say: “What a fool Simon is! He had a good boat and was doing well lie used to lake more tlsli to the Caper uauiu market than any id us. But now lie has gone alter that crazy car penter who lias turned street preach er. and is tramping all over the coun try like a beggar.” And when the old men, who were boys with him, heard that he had been cruciffed, they said to each other, “just what I expected. Simon had better have stayed at home and attended to his business. If he had, lie might have done well.” j And so we may imagine that the : Greeks in Antioch talked about Hr. Luke. He had just coinmeuced prac tice. He was taleuted aud could have become emineut in his profession,but Ubat mad Jew, Saul of Parana, along, and he went oflQwith him.— 1 flow strange that he conld be t-o foolish ! But this idea that Christian lives —consecrated lives — lives of self denial for God and for humanity, are! failines, did not end with apostolic! times. We land it ever, in modern times and in nominally Christian! lands. Many people in Leicester, England, laughed when William Carey shut - ap iiis shop and started on a wild goose chase to India. Ilia fellow students at the University, who. admired the genius and sohoIiUship<| of Henry Marty u, shook their heads when he gave up his brilliant pros- ; pects of life and became a missionary. And when they heard that lie had sickened and died in the stable of a Turkish village, they felt that he had made a sad mistake and failure.— ; When David Braiuerd died at twen-! ty nine, from hardship and exposure of lits life among the Indians, many j thought that he had sacrificed him! self foolishly. He had talents that would have enabled him to shine in j civilized society; aud with a judicious' care of his health he might have! eujoyed an honored old age. What a waste to give up all this for the; sake of eight years’ missionary work I iu the wilderuess 1 Said the old politician to a young j lawyer, who was leaving the bar forj the ministry, intending to go abroad! as a Missionary : “What a fool you j ore ! if you will stay ith us ten ydars we will send you to Congress.” That i young man’s reply was:’ “I don’t I intend to wait ten years for the ; privilege of writing M. C. after my name ; I hope in three years to be ar, j M. C. of a higher order than those! who wrangle in the Representative| Chamber at Washington ; I hope to be a Missionary of the Cross, nay, an j ambassador of the King of glory- to i the nations of the earth.” I rode to a funeral one day with two men who seemed to have been well acquainted with him whose body was in the hearse. Said one of them: j “Poor J-! he never could suc ceed in anything. His life was a failure!” “I don't know about that,’' replied the other, “I don’t believe that man fails just because ho dou’t make money. I believe that doing good ought to bo an object in life, and if so, J-’s was a success. Why, sir, if it had not been for him I would loug ago have been iu a drunk ard’s grave. Now, through God’s blessing on his labors, I am a sober man, with a happy home aud a hope of heaven. Is it not better to have saved a soul than to have amassed a ] fortune t” When human lives are reviewed in j the light of eternity, the estimate of | them will be far different from that of this world. There is au apparent j success that involves the most disas-i trous of ail failures ; and there is au apparent failure out ot which may j come the highest success. The Jew ish farmer who was so prosperous that he prepared to tear down his! barns and build greater, was regard-j ed by his neighbours as successful, j But God said to him : “Thou fool,this! night thy soul shall be required of thee."—Journal and Messgnger. »__ __ “Prejudice Overcome.’’ Day j Kidney Pad Co., Buffalo, 2T.

A friend desires us to open the columns of this paper, for the discus- J sion of certain important political' questions. We do not deem it best to do this. A considerable portion! of the religion of to-day, is outside ot j our sphere of discussion, and as tor politics, while we are willing that the! potsherds should strive with the I potsherd ol the earth, we have uo call j to join iu the coutlict. In the church, i we tiud au. abundance of profession i without practice, ot faith without | works, and of creeds which are con.! fessed, but uot acted upon; but in j the politics of the day,we find enough i to disgust the honorable, to alarm the J prudent, and to vex the souls of the righteous from day to day.

Uut this world never is moved by majorities; the work is done by minorities; they are the cause, the majorities come in attei wards as an iffect. Said one mail to au earnest udvo. ;ate of righteous principles, after the perpetration of a great wrong, ‘‘This act has put back your cause for fifty years. What are yon goiug to do about it ‘-Talk !” was the answer 1 aud he did talk, until the voice, like that of oue crying in the wilderness, was taken np and.re-echoed like the touudof many waters aud mighty :!iunderiugs. The instrument fo r correcting rbuse aud rectifying wrong in this world, is not the ballot,—that couies vbeu the work is well nigh accoiu ilished,—it is not voting, but it is .aikiug, aud acting, which change he moral seutitnent of the age. It is jy knowing the truth, that men are made free ; aud the man that disdains ;o be weighed, or measured, or count ed, in opposition to men brutal,stupidi drunken, aud bought with bribery, will find that by telling the truth, exposing iniquity, aud bearing wit ness against wrong irrespective of party lilies or party fealty, he will accomplish a hundred times as much by talking, as he possibly could by voting. Laws derive their vitality from the power which makes aud enforces them, aud the public seuti meat which makes them Operative Lacking these they are a dead letter. The servant of God who would influence his fellow men, will best do it, not by uiingliug in their petty strifes and political jealousies, but by stauding aloof, rebuking all iniquity, and bearing faithful testimony against all sin, and to the truth as it is in Christ Jesus. LIVING IT DOWN. It is easy to suspect a man of being a rascal, to charge him with being a rascal, and even to prove him a ras cal, provided that lies are good evi dence. and he has no oppertuuity of contradicting or disproving them. But suppose when you have proved that a niau is, a rascal, the man him self refuses to be a rascal. What can be uoue^theu t Proving H man a rascal does not make him one,—it only shows tne lascality oi those who have tried to ulackeu and defame an honest man. ‘•A while ago an honest mechanic did a dai’s in.i'i. ai oiiho! the houses of a Massachnst t s to w ii.
