There is nothing but man, says an old writer, that respecteth greatness—not God, not nature, not disease, not death, not judgment. Not God—he is no respecter of persons. Not nature—we see the sons of princes born as naked as the poorest; and the poor child is fair, well-favored, strong, witty as the heir of nobles. Not disease, death, judgment—they sicken alike, die alike, fare alike after death. There is nothing, besides natural men, of whom goodness is not respected. I will honor greatness in others; but for myself, I will esteem a drachm of goodness worth a whole world of greatness.
Resignation.
It pleases Heaven to give us no more light in our way than will leave virtue in possession of its recompense. Grant me, gracious God, to go cheerfully on the road which thou hast marked out; I wish it neither more wise nor more smooth; continue the light of this dim taper thou hast put into my hands; I will kneel upon the ground several times a day, to seek the best track I can with it; and having done that, I will trust myself and the issue of my journey to thee, who art the fountain of joy, and will sing of comfort as I go along.
“Lotteries and Religion.”
By Editor
WE are sorry to see in the New York Observer, a temperate but severe criticism on some practices at the late Sheltering Arms Bazaar. We are sorry, not that the Observer criticized that which richly deserved it, but that the occasion for rebuke was given by church people.
The article was headed “Lotteries and Religion.” There is no manner of question that the practice of taking chances for any costly article is simply and purely illegal. That is enough to condemn it, even if otherwise innocent. But this gambling is made illegal because of the best of reasons; viz., that it is immoral. It is often argued that people who have small sums to give prefer to give in that way, because they expect to receive nothing in return. This is a specious argument. They pay for a dollar or a half-dollar’s worth of gambling excitement, the worst thing they could purchase, and they expect to get what they pay for.
Now gambling is like no other vice in its influence. It is like arsenic eating, in that it may be indulged in up to a certain point without apparent harm, and suddenly at once become irresistible and fatal. Men may be moderate gamblers, but they never can tell when they will cease to be. Once let a man win largely or lose more than he can afford, and he is in a vortex.
Now we know that these fair lotteries, raffles, and the like, have this consequence. They kindle the desire for gambling. A young man wins once or twice a costly article and begins to have a superstition about his “luck.” That will tempt him to other ventures in other places. And it makes the young feel that there is no harm in such things.
We say advisedly that there is no safety in tampering in the slightest degree with such hazards. Our people are but too inclined to this evil, and far too much of business is carried upon gambling principles already.
Again there is an inherent wrong in the very essence of the thing. It is getting an article, no matter what, which one desires, for far less than its worth. No one is the better, and hardly any man but is the worse for this. It is demoralizing.
The Observer has taken church people to task for breaking the laws of the State. We accept and indorse the rebuke, and add that these have also broken the laws of God.
Effort and Success.
By A. Monod
LET us look unto Jesus, and not to the apparent success of our efforts. Apparent success is not always the measure of real success; and, besides, God has not enjoined success upon us, but only labor. He will ask an account of our labor, but not of our success. Why, then, should we be too much concerned about it? We must sow the seed, God will gather the fruit; if not to-day, it will be to-morrow; if not for us, it will be for others. Even if success were to be granted us, it would always be dangerous to look complacently upon it. On the one hand, we are tempted to claim for ourselves some of the glory; on the other, we are too prone to slacken our zeal when we cease to see good results arising from it; that is, at the very time when we ought to put forth double energy. To look at our success, is to walk by sight; to look unto Jesus, and to persevere in following and in serving him, despite all discouragements, is to walk by faith.—Rev. A. Monod.

Is God Leading His People?
By R. F. Cottrell
Has the time come for the third angel's message to be given? Is it being given? Are the people being brought to light who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ? That testimony is the spirit of prophecy—that spirit possessed by the ancient prophets. “I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus.” Rev. 19: 10. “I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets.” Chap. 22: 9.
If the last prophetic people have appeared, the remnant of the seed of the woman, they have the testimony of Jesus which is the spirit of prophecy. It follows then that the testimonies among us are from the Spirit of God. If this is the people, the visions are from Heaven. To reject the Testimonies, is to reject the whole work, and to reject the work of God in the message now being proclaimed, is equivalent to saying that the signs of the last days have appeared, and that while wicked men and devils are fulfilling their last work as assigned them in prophecy, God has forgotten to fulfill his part and prepare his people for the last great trial of their faith; that all has appeared, as foretold in prophecy, but the prophetic people—the people that keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
I do not believe that God has failed to fulfill his part of the prophecy—his word of promise. Hence I believe that God is leading this people. Do you believe it brother, sister? If we do believe it, let us come up to the works of reform that God has sent for our salvation. Give heed to the Spirit of God, and live.
R. F. Cottrell.
Spiritual Gifts.
By R. F. Cottrell
“Pursue after love; and desire earnestly the spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.” 1 Cor. 14:1.—Am. Bible Union.
Was the epistle to the Corinthians written exclusively for the benefit of those then living at Corinth, or was it designed for the instruction of the church in general throughout the dispensation?
If it is not too late now to follow after love, by what rule is it too late to desire earnestly the spiritual gifts?
Has God taught us to desire earnestly that which he has determined in no case to grant us?
R. F. COTTRELL.
Self-Control.
By Sel
IT seems to me that all times are alike adapted for happiness, and if we grow old, as one should grow old, the last days of life must be the happiest of all. Every stage of life is but the preparation for the next one. It is the treasure-house in which are collected all the pleasures that are to make the future time happy. The child has indeed but few troubles, but they are to him as larger ones prove to his parents. I asked a friend once, speaking of the happy, cloudless days of his childhood, if he would like to be always a child. He stopped for a moment, and then said, “No.” I think he was right. There is progress in everything—in our means of happiness, and in our capacity for enjoyment. Then let us look back upon the time-wrinkled face of the past only with feelings of regret. Give me the present, glowing and full of life, and the future, glorious with its bright visions. I would rather look forward than look back; rather spend the golden hours in working out present happiness, than in vain regrets for the past. It is but the helm with which to steer her onward course. It is the steep and rugged mountain up which lies our way. [It is not genius nor fortune that paves the way to eminence, but earnestness, self-control, wisdom. These are in our hands; let us use them, and when at the sunset of life we turn to look back on our path, and see it stretching far down before us peacefully, happily, we may lay ourselves down to rest.—Sel.]
LATENT MORAL POWER.—
It is impossible to over-estimate, or rather to estimate, the power that lies latent in our churches. We talk of the power latent in steam—latent till Watt evoked its spirit from the waters, and set the giant to turn the iron arms of machinery. We talk of the power that was latent in the skies till science climbed their heights, and seizing the spirit of thunder, chained it to our service—abolishing distance; outstripping the wings of time, and flashing our thoughts across rolling seas to distant continents. Yet what are these to the moral power that lies asleep in the congregations of our country and of the Christian world? And why latent? Because men and women neither appreciate their individual influence, nor estimate aright their own individual responsibilities.—Sel.
FAITH
—When Charles V. imperiously required the Confession of Augsburg to be abandoned, and gave the Protestant leaders only six months more in which to make up their minds finally, the cause of the Reformation was thought hopeless. But Luther exclaimed: “I saw a sign in the heavens, out of my window at night; the stars, the hosts of heaven, held up in a vault above me; and yet I could see no pillars on which the Master made it to rest. But I had no fear it would fall. Some men look above for the pillars, and would fain touch them with their hands, as if afraid the sky would fall. Poor souls! Is not God always there?”—Dr. Gill.
The Good We Leave Undone
We often omit the good we might do in consequence of thinking about that which is out of our power to do.
Scolding
Of all the disagreeable habits the world was ever tormented with, scolding is the most annoying. To hear a saw filed, to hear a peacock scream, or an Indian yell, is music compared with it. Since we were little children we have always felt a mortal abhorrence to scolding. And if we had been scolded as some children are, we know not that we should ever have been good for anything. It is no wonder so many children are bad. The good is all scolded out of them. It is stunted or killed by early frosts of cold, icy scolding. What a frost is to the spring buds, is scolding to all the child hearts. Scolding folks at home! How miserable! Lightning, thunder, hail, storms, and winds, rather than the hurricane of scolding.
Let all the powers that be wage a war of kindness on all the scolders, that they may be overcome with a better spirit.—Sel.
Heavenly Photography.
Fresh information from the next world has lately been received in London of a most interesting character. A certain Miss Houghton has furnished (under spiritual guidance) a series of portraits which are now on view and for sale in Bond street. All London is crowding to see them; and it is no wonder, as among the subjects are to be found likenesses of the crown worn at present in his new abode by Prince Albert, flowers from heavenly hills, the Hollow of the Hand of the Holy Ghost, and eight separate views of the eye of Jehovah.
“The paintings, to a purely earthly observer, resemble,” the Examiner tells us, “splodges and dashes of lurid colors, or a full-bodied black beetle mashed between two sheets of marbled paper;” which description assumes a deep significance when we learn that each color has its spiritual meaning. Thus the “Rock of Ages” is expressed by yellow ochre (delicacy of mind), raw sienna (considerateness), madder (adjustingness of temper), and more than all, brown pink (economy). This medley, which is to several minds pure blasphemy, is daily studied, we are told, by crowds of devout believers in Miss Houghton and her angelic painters with earnest zeal. We are led to suspect that either American spirits are sharper and more matter of fact than their brethren, or else that only the work-a-day part of heaven lies over our patch of the world’s surface. We have no such subtle glories unfolded as these. Our spirits, it is true, have devoted themselves lately to pictorial art, but it was rather in a photographic line. They have been going about through Ohio and among the Pennsylvania Dutch leaving likenesses of themselves on street lamps and drug-shop windows, in indubitable trousers, coats, and crinoline. Occasionally, the portrait of a ghostly pup, or chicken, or other spiritual poultry, has been found with the others. In one house in Ohio, the spiritual artists varied their labors at the camera by chipping the dresses of the women into shreds, tumbling old ladies down the cellar stairs, and abstracting greenbacks to no inconsiderable amount from the breeches-pocket of their host.
Seriously, we have every cause to think that art in all its branches is but poorly comprehended in the future world. If the Ohio lamp-post daguerreotypes and Miss Houghton’s efforts are the best which newcomers of aesthetic tastes may look for throughout the coming ages in the heavenly regions, it is a pity that moth and dust will be left to corrupt their Turners and Geromes here, and that they cannot be taken with them.
Belief in these things is by no means confined to the illiterate or vulgar. Some of the wisest, most practical, most refined men and women among us give them unswerving confidence. How do they explain these mysteries? Is there no way by which they can make this hurly-burly of raps, dancing tables, insane rhapsodies and colored daubs representing the “Eye of Jehovah,” as attractive to the ordinary mind as the Heaven of which they have robbed us—the shadow of eternal beauty and eternal peace from hills afar off, beyond which each man in his rare best moments saw his God and his loved ones as in a dream?—N. Y. Tribune.
The following item, clipped from a secular paper, will be interesting to those who read the third of Isaiah:—
“An innovation in the way of female decoration has been introduced in the fashionable circles of London, which even the universal adoption of short skirts could hardly have led one to expect. It is said that certain lovely damsels, tired of bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and tiaras, have accepted and promulgated the Eastern fashion of wearing anklets. They are already for sale in the prominent jewelry stores, and many of them are superbly fashioned, being wrought in gold and silver, and enriched with precious stones. They generally have little tinkling bells attached.”
To N. Orcutt, Vt.
By John Nevins Andrews
When God made the sun the light bearer, it was done by a word and in an instant. The act marked the commencement of the fourth day, just as the creation of the earth marked the beginning of the first day. The making of the sun the light bearer and ruler of the day did not change the place of light on the earth, nor the space which it covered; for the sun was appointed to rule as God's vicegerent, the day which he himself had created and maintained by other means for three days. The eastern extremity of the sun's light did therefore correspond with the evening twilight then existing upon the earth, and this twilight marked the commencement of the fourth day. As the sun's rule is maintained by an apparent westward circuit of the globe, the commencement of that rule must be at the most eastern extremity of his light when his rule began. This must be where twilight existed at that time on the east side of the field of light and the west side of the field of darkness. God did not make the sun light bearer to disarrange the day which he had already established, but to preserve its existence by ruling it as his vicegerent, so that its existence might be maintained by natural means rather than by special interposition as before it had been.

Withdrawal:
To those brethren to whom I have promised to hold meetings in their neighborhoods, I wish to say that I now feel it duty to withdraw such promises. This I do by the advice of the physicians, who inform me that my practice of attending monthly meetings or of holding meetings part of the time will not only keep me weak and comparatively useless, but result in entire prostration; and that my only chance of recovery and of future usefulness is to abstain from preaching and as far as possible from mental exercise, and to let all of my labor be out of doors and with my hands. I much regret the necessity for this course, but the necessity exists, and it is better to act in reference to it now than to put it off till my recovery becomes hopeless. J. H. Waggoner.

Every Man’s Life a Plan of God.
By Dr. Bushnell
EVERY human soul has a complete and perfect plan cherished for it in the heart of God—a divine biography marked out, which it enters into life to live. This life, rightfully unfolded, will be a complete and beautiful whole; an experience led on by God, and unfolded by the secret nurture of the world; a drama cast in the mold of a perfect art, with no part wanting; a divine study for the man himself and for others; a study that shall forever unfold, in wondrous beauty, the love and faithfulness of God; great in its conception, great in the divine skill by which it is shaped; above all, great in the momentous and glorious issues it prepares. What a thought is this for every human soul to cherish! What dignity does it add to life! What support does it bring to the trial of life! What instigation does it add to send us on in everything that constitutes our excellence! We live in the divine thought. We fill a place in the great everlasting plan of God’s intelligence. We never sink below his care, never drop out of his counsel.—Dr. Bushnell.

“Can ye not discern the signs of the times?”
NOVA SCOTIA.—The statement is officially confirmed from London that Halifax will (now that the Treaty of Washington has been ratified) soon cease to be the rendezvous for the British North American fleet, and that the fleet in Canadian waters will be reduced to the Commodore’s ship.
A LARGE party of Japanese visited the Howard University on Thursday, and spent the day in examining everything of interest in connection with that institution. Gen. Howard found them the most inquisitive visitors he has ever met.
A NOTABLE feature of College Commencements this year is the frequency with which Japanese faces appear. The Government of Japan has sent several hundred young men to this country to be educated. In a few years they will carry back with them all that our colleges can give in the way of scholastic culture, as well as such germs of Christian civilization as may effect more for the ultimate advancement of Japan than a century of ordinary missionary work. According to universal testimony, these young men are apt, thoughtful, attentive, well-behaved, and eager to learn. Year by year the number of those coming hither appears likely to increase, and the result may be that in 1900 Japan herself will have become the Athens of the East.
The Japanese Empire is reaching out in many directions in search of instructors in the arts of peace and war. The various native agents in this country have collected a vast amount of information designed to be of use in the future development of the industrial resources of that country; and to-day we have information that the Commissioner of Agriculture at Washington has accepted a position at the head of an expedition to examine into the best means for developing the agricultural resources of Japan. Other scientific gentlemen from this country have taken commissions in the same expedition. One or two skilled military men have been invited over to Japan by the Embassy, and will be set to work as instructors in artillery and cavalry practice.
A DIFFERENCE has arisen between the Egyptian Government and the French Consul at Cairo, in consequence of the alleged illegal arrest of a French citizen there by the police. Satisfaction has been demanded by France, and negotiations are pending for the settlement of the dispute.
ROME is once more the capital of united Italy. The kingdom within whose boundary lines so much of the romance and poetry of history, since the wandering Æneas landed upon its shores, have found a birthplace and a home, extends again from the Tuscan to the Sicilian seas, from the Alps to the Adriatic, from the German forests to the waves of the Mediterranean.
The king of Italy took formal possession of Rome on Sunday. The embassies of all the principal countries of Europe, as well as that of the United States, have removed thither, while little Belgium alone, its government saturated with Catholicism, recognizes still a divided Italy, and sends ambassadors both to the Pope and to Emanuel.
The Pope as the spiritual sovereign of the Catholic church, residing in Rome, is to be treated with all reverence and consideration. No respect will be paid to him, however, as a temporal ruler. There is no probability that any foreign power will interfere with what was inevitable when the “man of Sedan” lost his throne, nor is the pope likely to abandon Rome as his residence, even though he has threatened to leave for Malta or Corsica. Whatever of spiritual power and vicegerency divine he has possessed he will still retain, and if he sways the hearts of six hundred million Catholics, his rights to a territory about the size of our own District of Columbia are of small importance. To attribute so much of his dignity and power to a few acres of ground, is like supposing that the greatness and might of the United States Government proceed, for the most part, from its ownership of the District just referred to.—Detroit Post.
