ILLUSTRATION VS. IMITATION.

By E. P. D.

A very prominent feature of the Saviour's manner of teaching men about the kingdom of Heaven is seen in the appropriateness and simplicity of his illustrations. He takes the harvest field, from the time the seed is sown until it matures for the reaper's blade, as a figure of the world when it shall be ripe for the sickle of Heaven. He represents the greatness of his kingdom by the grain of mustard seed, and the work of the Judgment by the draught of a fisherman's net. By this happy means the dullest minds were aroused to action, and the brightest minds were refreshed.

It is a characteristic of Solomon's writing also to convey his best thoughts by means of natural illustrations. Wisdom is illustrated by the prudence of the ant, the industry of the cony, the unity of the locust, and the perseverance of the spider.

Nathan, the prophet of the Lord, when he came to David to show him his sin, clothed his address in figures so full of meaning that it drew from the king the very sentence he so justly merited.

And it is quite observable that this valuable method of instruction is specially employed in the evangelical field of to-day. Mr. Moody frequently makes some good points in this direction, which doubtless adds much to his popularity as an evangelist, and shows him to be in possession of a rare faculty in this department. But others in trying to ape him have found it necessary to supply the lack of this precious gift by something that to the sensibilities of the refined looks very much like farce-acting. With this class all discrimination between the sacred and profane, simplicity and silliness, has become obsolete, and the gift they exercise is the power of imitation instead of illustration. It is the fashion to imitate in prayer, imitate in singing, imitate in preaching, until, to have any influence with the masses of the people, one must be well versed in Shakespeare, and be a practical pantomimist. Logic is looked upon as an effort to excel, and sound reasoning favorably impresses but the few; but in acting there is a magic that charms and bewitches the fancy, and holds the eye spell-bound, while the ear is fast asleep.

Christ was simple in his manner and address; and though unpopular, thousands flocked to hear him, and declared that never man spake like this man. To imitate him in those noble virtues would be more becoming to those standing in the desk and ministering in sacred things, than catering to the heartless sentimentalism of a fashionable world through the love of gain and applause.

The Master's life, both in example and precept, is the best illustration of virtue, truth, and grace that is furnished in the sacred page.

An Advance Move in France.

A new step in the onward progress of Republicanism in France is the movement for freeing the educational institutions of the nation from the withering influence of the Jesuits. The Committee on the Higher Education bill introduced by the government, are largely in favor of the measure, which states that according to existing law foreigners are not allowed to teach in France, and declares that “the same exclusion should apply to an order essentially foreign by the character of its doctrines, nature, and aim, and its statutes.” The Jesuits now have 27 colleges in France, with 848 teachers, and there are 26 other communities having 61 establishments and 1,089 teachers, who would be deprived by this bill of the right of teaching. Of course, there is great excitement in clerical circles, and the papal organ at Rome bitterly denounces the measure, but we trust the government may be able to put its foot on the deadliest enemy of its free institutions.—Christian Weekly.

To the Minnesota Sabbath-Schools.

By W. B. Hill; L. A. Curtis

There will be a S. S. Convention held in connection with the State quarterly meeting at Kingston, Meeker Co., the third Sabbath and Sunday in April. Every school in the State should be represented at this meeting, either by delegate or by letter. Every point of interest in the Sabbath school work will be brought up and discussed, and instruction will be given in all branches, especially in regard to maps and map exercises. We are very desirous that every school should receive the benefit of this meeting.

We should be happy to have all the ministers who can, attend and assist in this Convention. A cordial invitation is extended to all the brethren and sisters and friends. Come prepared to take care of yourselves in part, as there are but few brethren here. W. B. HILL, Pres. L. A. CURTIS, Sec.

WAS THE SABBATH CHANGED BY CHRIST?

By R. W. Rogers

HAD Christ changed the Sabbath, and had the apostles kept the first day of the week for the Sabbath, how natural and consistent it would have been for the Jews, while bringing charges against Paul, James, and the other apostles, not only to charge them with disregarding the law of circumcision, but also with violating the “Jewish Sabbath,” and teaching all men to honor the first day of the week as the Sabbath; but the Jews brought no such charge against them.

While Stephen was delivering his sermon recorded in the seventh chapter of Acts, how strange that he did not mention the change of the Sabbath! Had the day been changed at the resurrection of Christ, surely Stephen would have known something about it at the time he gave that sermon that so excited the Jews. No; let us believe the plain declarations of the word of God, and not hang to old traditions. Will it pay in the great day? The eagerness of some to cling to tradition reminds me of the language of Peter in his second epistle, chap. 3:16; for many wrest the words of Inspiration to their own destruction. R. W. ROGERS.

THE MINISTER AND THE MERCHANT.

A MERCHANT in one of the towns of the State of New York, says Mr. Finney, was paying a large part of his minister's salary. One of the members of the church was relating the fact to a minister from abroad, and speaking of the sacrifice which this merchant was making. At this moment the merchant came in.

“Brother,” said the minister, “you are a merchant. I suppose you employ a clerk to sell your goods, and schoolmasters to teach your children. You order your clerk to pay your schoolmaster out of the store such an amount for his services in teaching. Now suppose your clerk should give out that he had to pay this teacher his salary, and should speak of the sacrifices that he was making to do it, what would you say to this?”

“Why,” said the merchant, “I should say it was ridiculous.”

“Well,” said the minister, “God employs you to sell goods as his clerk, and your minister he employs to teach his children, and he requires you to pay his salary out of the income of the store. Now do you call this your sacrifice, and say that you are making a great sacrifice, to pay this minister’s salary? No; you are just as much bound to sell for God as he is to preach for God. You have no more right to sell goods for the purpose of laying up money, than he has to preach the gospel for the same purpose. You are bound to be just as pious, and to aim as singly at the glory of God, in selling goods, as he is in preaching the gospel. And thus you are as absolutely to give up your whole time for the service of God, as he is. You and your family may live fully out of the avails of this store; and so may the minister and his family, just as lawfully. If you sell goods from these motives, selling goods is just as much serving God, as preaching is. And a man who sells goods upon these principles, and acts in conformity to them, is just as pious, just as much in the service of God, as he is who preaches the gospel. Every man is bound to serve God in his calling,—the minister by teaching, the merchant by selling goods, the farmer by tilling his field, and the lawyer and physician by discharging the duties of their profession.”—Selected.

Wesley's Preaching.

It was, I believe, in October, 1790, and not long before his death, that I heard John Wesley in the great round meeting-house at Colchester. He stood in a wide pulpit, and on each side stood a minister, and the two held him up, having their hands under his armpits. His feeble voice was barely audible. But his reverend countenance, especially his long white locks, formed a picture never to be forgotten. There was a vast crowd of lovers and admirers. It was, for the most part, pantomime, but the pantomime went to the heart. Of the kind, I never saw anything comparable to it in after-life. At another time, and not knowing the man, I should almost have ridiculed his figure. Far from it now. I looked upon him with a respect bordering on enthusiasm.

After the people had sung one verse of a hymn, he rose and said: “It gives me great pleasure to find that you have not lost your singing. Neither men nor women—you have not forgotten a single note. And I hope by the assistance of the same God that enables you to sing well, you may do all other things well.”

A universal “Amen” followed. At the end of every head or division of his discourse, he finished by a kind of prayer, a momentary wish, as it were, not consisting of more than three or four words, which was always followed by a universal buzz. His discourse was short, the text I could not hear. After the last prayer he rose up and addressed the people upon liberality of sentiment, and spoke much against refusing to join with any congregation on account of difference of opinion. He said, “If they do but fear God, working righteousness, and keep his commandments, we have nothing to object to.”—Diary of Henry Crabb Robinson.

WHERE TO INVEST.

At this season of the year many are seeking for safe investments of their surplus funds. Enterprises holding out large inducements in the way of interest are becoming objects of just suspicion, and the cautious capitalist is content with a low rate of interest if the safety of his funds can be insured.

In this connection we would call the especial attention of our brethren having money to spare to the fact that the history of the S. D. A. Publishing Association has demonstrated its entire safety as a depository of money. Owing to the fact, that from its large resources it has advanced money for the Sanitarium, the College, and the Tabernacle, on the strength of pledges yet to be paid, it is at present in want of ready means, and the trustees would be pleased to receive large or small sums, for longer or shorter periods of time, for which the notes of the Association will be given at a low rate of interest. Those who are able are invited to loan without interest. Please correspond with Eld. James White, Battle Creek, Mich.

A SPLENDID TELEGRAM.

Just before going to press, we were happy to receive the following telegram from Bro. and Sister White, dated Denison, Texas, March 30, 1879:—

“We will spend Sabbath, April 5, at Battle Creek. J. AND E. G. WHITE.”

Special Session of the General Conference.

The General Conference will hold a special session in Battle Creek, according to previous notice, April 17–21. At this meeting arrangements will be made for the coming campaign throughout the home and foreign fields. All lovers of the cause have an interest in this meeting, as the progress of the work in the immediate future will be largely affected by its deliberations. Let the fervent, effectual prayers of the righteous, which avail much, ascend to Heaven that wisdom may be given to rightly plan at this interesting stage in the progress of our work.

The tabernacle will be dedicated Sunday, the 20th. A general invitation is extended.

Gen. Conf. Committee.

Hospitality in McPherson

Messrs. A. W. and C. Bunyan would be glad to have Sabbath-keepers passing through McPherson Center, Kansas, stop with them.

A Puncture to Modern Perfectionism

The neatest puncture ever given to the bubble of modern bogus sanctification, or perfectionism, we believe, is the following from Dr. Kirk. A man once said to him, “I am perfect; I have not sinned for years.” And the doctor replied, “I am sorry to hear you say that; for I always before had a high idea of perfection.”

CHURCH QUARTERLY MEETINGS.

By General Conference Committee

ALL the churches and brethren should remember that Sabbath and Sunday, April 5, 6, is the time for church quarterly meetings. All the elders and leaders of the churches should be in their places promptly, storm or no storm. Let the ordinances be celebrated; let all the business of the church, Sabbath-school, tract society, and systematic benevolence be done up promptly. Come with your tithes and offerings, brethren, that God may bless you. Large drafts will necessarily be made on the treasurer before another quarterly meeting, as all the tents and other enterprises will be started. Pay up your pledges as far as possible. May it be a glorious day throughout the world for the cause of present truth. GENERAL CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

OHIO STATE QUARTERLY MEETING.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

Probably the Ohio State quarterly meeting will be held at Clyde, May 2-5. We request every preacher, and all those who design to go with tents or in any way publicly labor in the cause this season, to come to this meeting. We also invite the attendance of all our leading brethren and as many of the different officers as can consistently come. All the arrangements for the summer will be made here.

We shall put forth every effort to make this meeting next in importance to the camp-meetings. Let all begin now to arrange to attend. D. M. CANRIGHT, Pres.

OXFORD BIBLES.

After a careful and thorough examination we are convinced that the “Oxford” S. S. Teacher’s Bible is the best for the use of ministers, teachers, and Bible students. We cannot get from Canada the style of Bible that we have sold heretofore; this, with the fact that the Teacher’s Bible is in every way superior to the plain, has led us to adopt the “Oxford” and offer it to our customers. These Bibles are celebrated for Clearness of Type, Strength, Excellence, and Finish of Binding, Compactness (for though containing a mass of matter not generally bound with the Bible, they have been kept within the limits of a handy volume), Fullness and Comprehensiveness of Notes and Tables, and Prices which place them within the reach of all.

They contain, in addition to the authorized Text, with References.
