THERE's saow on eart's fairest ligt, Of uman guilt an uman tears; Se gropes er way troug realms of nigt Tat once sang wit te speres. But not te sport of bline cance, Te eavenly recor stanet true; Se waits a full eliverance Wen Go makes all tings new. Te worl is ol wit centuries, But not for tese se bows er ea, Close to er eart te sorrow lies Se ols so many ea!. Sa iscors mingle in er song, Tears fall upon er wit te ew, Te wole creation groans; ow long Ere all sall be mae new? Yet brigtly on er smiles te sun, A bounteous Heaven eligts to bless ; 0, wat sall be tat fairer one Werein wells r1gteousness. 0 appy worl! 0 oly time! Wen wrong sall ie, an strife sall cease, An all te bells of Heaven cime Wit meloies of peace. No place sall be in tat new eart For all tat bligts tis universe, No evil t.aint te secon birt, "Tere sall be no more curse." Ye broken earte, cease your moan, Te ay of promise awns for you, For e tat sits upon te trone Says, "I make all tings new." We mourn te ea-but tey sall wake! Te lost-but tey sall be restore! O well our uman earts migt break Witout tat Sacre Wor t Dim eyes look up, sa earts rejoice, Seeing Gotl's bow of promise troug, At soun of tat propetic voice, "I will make all tings new." How long?-te ages falter, umb, As on te tresol of new birt ; Te nations pray, "Ty Kingom come, Te new eavens an new eart!" Eart, turning, turning, nears tat ay, Wen all te angel-coirs anew, Sall sing, "Ol tings are passe away, Go at mae all tings new." Two Purses in One Family. " THEREFORE all tings watsoever ye woul tat men soul o to you, o ye even so to tem, for tis is te law an te propets." Tere are men, wo, amitting te bining force of te golen rule in teir eal wit te worl, utterly ignore its application to teir own wives. Ol bacelors an confirme spinsters, frequently favor us wit "Avice to Wives." "Duties of Wives," etc., but few men seem to consier tat tey nee any instruction as to teir uties as usbans. A man aving sougt a woman an rawn er from te loving selter of er ome an family, to ceer an bless is life, as someting to o besies proviing a welling place, an supplying te cellar an buttery, meagerly or bountifully, as is own alimentiveness may prompt. Tere are mutual uties, mutual obligations; te man soul come ome, not only to be ceere, sympatize wit, an mae appy, but to ceer, sympatize, an make is wife appy. Te same course of conuct e use to win, e soul exercise to keep. Wat is neee is mutual love, mutual forbearance, mutual confience ; an tese will grow up into a. better an purer love tan te first. Tere is someting very eligtsome in love's young ream; but reams, owever eligtsome, on't last; t~e sweet an oly joys of marrie life, "Wlll. Men generally seem to tink tey will lessen teir ignity if tey consult teir wivea as intelligent partners, an so treat tem eiter as babies or as slaves. A m1n will unesitatingly trust is life, onor, ome, cilren, to is wife, yet refuse to trust er wit a little money. In tis respect te majority of wives are treate as little :cilren. "O! but women on't know te value of money!" " Women are so extravagant! " If so, wy so? Wo's to blame? Woman by nature is quite as careful an economical as man. A goo wife wo is acquainte wit er usban's business an te conition of is purse, will spen money wit more jugment, use more true economy, an ave more to sow for it, tan er usban. How often as tis been prove in cases of sickness or long absence from ome on te part of te usban. But if kept in ignorance of er usban's resources, se attributes te grumbling wit wic money is so grugingly ole out to er, to lack of confience in er, rater tan lack of means ; an so may sometimes make mistakes. I ave ear women say te most painful ting tey a to o was to ask teir usbans for money ; an I ave seen men ole it out as if tey were rawing teet, even wen tey a abunance, an knew it was neee for absolute necessities. It is a great mistake for a man to keep secret from is wife te state of is affairs, an ave er ignorant of ow to transact business. Wat will se o if left to wiowoo? In case of suen eat of te usban, ow muc of loss, ruin, sorrow, an trouble, as resulte from tis absur course. Some men seem to utterly forget or ignore te fact tat te wife as elpe to gain te property, an by every principle of rigt soul ave a voice in its isposal. Some, toug I ope few, are even mean enoug to keep entire control of teir wives' own property, instea of letting tem use an enjoy wat is teir own in teir own way. Tis iea. tat a woman an all se as belongs to er usban, an tat se must never expen a ollar witout is lorsip's permission, is a relic of te barbarous customs of te ol worl. But a man an is wife soul ave but one purse between tem says te usban, an e so closely guars an retains sole control of tat one purse, tat an occasional exterior view is all e allows is wife. Not only o men act in tis matter ungenerously, but very unjustly. Here is Bro. an sister A-. Tey commence marrie life wit little or noting. Togeter, by ar work, inustry an frugality, tey ave now a ansome property. Systematic Benevolence is to be arrange. Bro. A puts own :fifty ollars, about two-tirs wat it soul be. Sister A, noting. Wy? Says Bro. A, " I give for er an self too." But sister A as as muc love for an esire to ai te cause as er usban. Se woul like te eligt of giving, erself, but se as noting to give. Se as often felt te urgent nee of a few ollars ; a to eny te really eserving objects of carity, because even for er necessities se reas to ask for anyting from teir one purse, on account of te miserable spirit of parsimonious surliness wit wic it will be refuse, or at best grugingly ole out. Se etermines to obviate tis ; obtain a little funs for erself tat se can control ; raises poultry ; it as to er cares an burens ; but anyting is better tan to ave to apply to our one pur~e ; meets success. Bro. A takes te poultry to market for er. How gla an appy se feels to tink se can now ave, erself, te blesse privilege of giving, until Bro. A returns, an se :fins e as confiscate te entire amount, an in answer to er expostulations, e growls out, " Wat can you want wit te money? Wis women a te earning of te money, tey' learn te value of it! I want you to unerstan once for all, I on't believe in two purses in one family!" Many a man wo woul scorn to efrau or in any way wrong is neigbor is profounly mifferent about cruelly wronging te woman e as cosen for is earest eartly frien an companion for life.

I greatly mistake if it ans of te people, te Romanists are oes not resul~ in te ~gures on s. B., of graually succeeing in ob~aining :politi~al scools of te State. A violent conflict as been going on in te village at Hunter's Point, opposite tis city, on Long Islan, for some monts past, on tis question, between te Roma.nists an Protestants. Violence as been resorte to, an te :figt a become fearful. We gave full accounts of it at te time. Quiet as been enjoye for some time, wile te matter as been in te ans of te Superintenent. His ecision is at lengt given, an we copy it in full in anoter column, from te New York Scool Journal. By looking over tis "Decision,'" it will be seen tat te Superintenent oes not preten to cite any law on wic it is base. He refers to is own an former ecisions " in tis epartment," an on tese cita tiona alone procees to say tat "te action of te Boar of Eucation of Long Islan City in irecting te reaing of a. portion of te Bible as an open exercise in te scools uner teir ca.rge, &c., as been witout warrant of law." It woul ave been muc more satisfactory a e given some cita tiona to sow tat is own ictum was mae wit "warrant of law." Even by tis ecision te Boar of Eucation are autorize to provie for te continue reaing of te Bible at te usual our. Tere is no "warrant of law" requiring tem to commence te exercises of te scool at 9 o'clock, an if tey please to irect te teacer to rea te Scriptures at 9.A. M., an to irect tat all pup~ wose parents o not wis te~ to ear te Scriptures sall come at 10 mmutes past 9, te Superintenent cannot interfere.

We o not attac any great immeiate an irect value to te reaing a few yerses of Scripture in scools. It is a principle wic we o not surrener, but wic is torn from us by violence. We tink te ultimate moral effect of making a portion of Go's wor te aily foo of a scolar's min is great, an as te State is boun to make goo citizens, we woul never give up te Bible. But if we are beaten own by politicians an Romis priests, an te Bible is by tem trust out of te scool room, we still remain an will "figt it out on tis line" to te en of life. We will re-ouble our efforts in missson an Sunay-scool work, to reac te young wit religious trut, an by voluntary outsie efforts we will seek to inculcate in te youtful min tose prineiples of virtue wic are essential to goo citizensip.

2 18 ADVENT REVIEW AND HERALD OF THE SABBATH. [Vol. 40, No. 3..A. Japanese Sermon. TRANSLATED BY ALGERNON BERHAlll MILFORD, SEC RETARY OF LEGATION IN JAPAN, SERMONS in Japan are not elivere as part of a service on a special ay of te week, but are preace in courses, te elivery occupying about a fortnigt, two sermons being given eac ay. In a great many cases te preacers are itinerant priests, wo go from town to town, an village to village, lecturing. Te locale is usually te main all of a temple, or te guest-room of te resient priest. Te auiences are compose of ol people, wo, fining temselves near teir en, wis to make teir peace wit Heaven, an young girls, wo atten oubtless wit every intention of profiting, but forget, as soon as tey get. outsie te oor, everyting tey ave ear witin. Tere are, of course, no pews or bences. Te congregation squat on te mats, te preacer being accommoate wit a cusion at te upper en of te room. In front of im is a reaing-esk, on wic e lays is sermon, an e ols in is an a fan, wit wic, from time to time, e raps te esk to empasize is elivery, an wake te slumbering. Between te two sermons occurs an interval of ten minutes, introuce by te priest wit te wors, "Well, let's take a puff" (of tobacco). Te following sermon is by a preacer of te " Singaku " sect, wic professes to combine all tat is excellent in Confucianism, Buism, an Sintoism. Te text is taken from te Cinese Classical Book, just as we take ours from te Bible. Jokes, stories, an pointe applications to members of te congregation, are as common in t~ese sermons, as ry, rigi formality is Wit US. Mosi* says, "Benevolence is te eart of man, Rigteousness is te pat of man. How lamentable a ting is it to leave te pat an go astray, to cast away te eart, an not know were to seek for it." Te text is taken from te first capter of Kosi (Cin: Kao Tsu), in Mosbi. Now tis quality, wic we call benevolence, as been te subject of commentaries by many teacers, but as tese commentaries ave been ifficult of compreension, tey are too ar to enter te ears of women an cilren. It is of tis benevolence tat, using examples an illustrations, I mean to treat. A long time ago tere live at Kioto a great pysician, ca.lle Imaoji-I forget is oter name-e was calle a very famous man. Once upon a time, a man from a place calle Kuramaguci, avertise for sale a meicine wic e a compoune against te colera, an got Imaoji to write a puff for im. Imaoji, instea of calling te meicine in te puff a specific against te colera, -miss pelt te wor colera, so as to make it simpler; wen te man wo a employe im went an taxe im wit tis, an aske im wy e a one it so, e answere wit a smile, "As Kuramaguci is an approac to te capital from te country, te passers-by are but poor.peasants an woomen from te ills ; if I a written 'colera ' at lengt, tey woul ave been puzzle by it, so I wrote_in a simple way tat soul pass current wit every one. Trut itself loses its value if people on't unerstan it. Wat oes it signify ow I spelt te wor colera, so long as te efficacy of te meicine is unimpaire?" Now, was not tat eligtful? In te same "fay ~e octrines of te sages are mere g1bbens to women an cilren wo cannot unerstan tem. Now my sermons are not written for te learne. I aress myself to farmers an traesmen, wo, ar-presse by teir aily business, ave no time for stuy ; wit te. wi~ to make known to tem te teacings of te sages, an carrying out te ieas of my teacer, I will make my meaning pretty plai~ by b~inging forwar exam pies an quamt stories. Tus, by blening togeter te octrine of te Sinto, Buist, an oter scools, we sall arrive.at someting nea~. te true principle of tin~s. Now, poslt1vel7, you must not laug If I introuce a ligt story n!>w an ten ; levity is not my object, I only want to put tings in a plain an easy manner. Well, ten, te quality wic we ca.ll benevolence is, in fact, a perfection, an it is tis perfection wic Mosi spoke of as te eart of man. Wit tis perfect ea.rt, men in Serving teir parents, attain to filial piety ; in serving teir masters, tey attain to fielity; an if tey treat teir wives, teir bretren an teir friens in te same spirit, ten te principles of te five rela- tiona of life will armonize witout ifficulty. As for putting perfection into practice, parents ave te special uties of parents, cilren ave te sp~cia.l uties of cilren, usbans ave te special uties of usbans, wives ave te special uties of wives. It is only wen all tese special uties are performe witout a fault, tat true benevolence is reace, an tat again is te true eart of man. For example, take tis fan. Any one wo sees it knows it to be a fan, an knowing it to be a fan, no one woul tink of using it to blow is nose in ; te special use of a fan is for visits of ceremony, or else it is opene in orer to raise a cooling breeze ; it serves no oter purpose. In te same way, tis reaing-esk will not serve as a substitute for a self; again, it will not o instea of a pillow. So, you see, a reaingesk also as its special functions, for wic you must use it. So, if you look at your parents in te ligt of your parents, an treat tem wit filial piety, tat is te special uty of cilren. Tat is true benevolence, tat is te eart of man. Now, altoug you may tink tat wen I speak in tis manner, I am speaking of oters an not of yourselves, believe me tat te eart of every one of you is by nature pure benevolence. Now, I am just taking own your earts as a sopman oes goos from is selves, an pointing out te goo an ba qualities of eac, but if you will not lay wat I say to your own accounts, but persist in tinking tat it is all any boy's business but yours, all my labor will be lost. Listen, you wo answer your parents ruely, an cause tem to weep; you wo bring grief an trouble on your masters ; you wo cause your usbans to fly into passions ; you wo cause your wives to mourn; you wo ate your younger broters, an treat your eler broters wit contempt; you wo sow sorrow broacast over te worl; wat are you oing but blowing your noses in fans, an using reaingesks as pillows? I on't mean to say tat tere are any suc persons ere, still tere are plenty of tem to be foun-say in te back streets of Inia, for instance. Be so goo as to min wat I ave sai. Consier carefully; if a man is born wit a naturally ba isposition, wat a reaful ting tat is! Tis perfect eart is calle in my iscourses " te original eart of man.'' It is true tat benevolence is also calle te original eart of man, still tere is a sligt ifference between te two. However, as te inquiry into tis ifference woul be teious, it is sufficient for you to look upon tis original eart of man as a perfect ting, an you will fall into no error. Ie is true, tat I ave not te onor of te personal acquaintance of every one of you wo are present, yet I know tat your earts are rerfect. Te proof of tis is, tat if you say ta~ wic you ougt not to say, or o tat wtc you ougt not to o, your earts witin you are in some mysterious way immeiately conscious of wrong. Wen te man tat as a perfect eart oes tat wic is imperfect, it is because is eart as become warpe an turne to evil. Tis law ols goo for all mankin. Wat says te ol song? "Wen te roaring waterfall is s~vere by te nigt-storm, te moonligt is reflecte in eac scattere rop.'' Altoug tere is but one moon, se suffices to illumine. eac little scattere rop! Wonerful are te laws of Heaven! So te principle of benevolence, wic is but one, illumines all te particles tat make up mankin. Well, ten, te perfection of te uman eart can be calculate to a nicety. So, if we follow te impulses of our perfect eart in watever we unertake, we sall perform our special uties, an filial piety an fielity will come to us spontaneously.. You see te octrines of tis scool of pilosopy are quickly learne. If you Once torougly unerstan tis, tere will be no ifference in your conuct an tat of a man wo as stuie a unre years. Te. uty of man as been compare by te wise men of ol to a ig roa. If you want to go to Yeo or Nagaski, if you want to go out to te front of te ouse or to te back of te ouse, if :you wis to go into te next r'oom, or into some closet or oter, tere is a rigt roa to eac of tese places ; if you o not follow te rigt roa, scrambling over te roofs of ouses an troug itces, crossing mountains an esert places, you will be utterly lost an bewilere. In te same way, if a man oes tat wic is not goo, e is going as~ray from. te.ig roa. Filial piety in ctlren, VIrtue m usbans an wives, trut among friens; but wy enumerate all tese tings wic are patent? All tese are te rigt roa an goo, but to grieve parents, to anger usbans, to ate, an to bree ate in oters, tese are all ba tings, tese are all te wrong roa. To follow tese is to plunge into rivers, to run upon torns, to jump into itces, an bring tousans upon ten tousans of isasters. It is true tat If we o not pay great attention we sall not be able to follow te rigt roa. Certainly te arp an guitar are very goo tings in teir way, but to atten to nursing teir parents is te rigt roa for cilren. Lay tis to eart, an consier attentively were te rigt roa lies. People wo live near aunts of pleasure be'come at last so fon of pleasure ta~ tey teac teir augters noting but ow to play on te arp an guitar, an train tem up in te manners an ways of singing-girls, but teac tem noting of teir uties as augters ; an ten very often tey escape from teir parents' watcfulness an go wrong. Nor is tis te fault of te girls temselves, but te fault of te eucation wic tey ave receive from teir parents. I o not mean to say tat te arp an guitar an songs an ramas are useless tings. If you listen attentively, all our songs incite to virtue an conemn vice. In te song calle "Te Four Sleeves," for instance, tere is te passage, " If peo-. pie knew beforean all te misery tat it brings, tere woul be less going out wit young laies to look at te flowers at nigt." Please give your attention to tis. piece of poetry. Tis is te meaning of it: Wen a young man an a young lay set up a flirtation witout te consent of teir parents, tey tink tat it will all be very eligtful, an fin temselves very muc eceive. If tey knew wat a sa an cruel worl tis is, tey woul not act as tey o. Te quotation is from a song of remorse. Tis sort of ting appens but too often in te worl. Wen a man marries a wife e tinks ow appy e will be, an ow pleasant it will be keeping ouse on is own account ; but before te bottom of te family kettle as been scorce black, e will be like a man learning to swim in a fiel, wit is ieas all turne topsy-turvy-an, contrary to all is expectations, e will fin te pleasure of ousekeeping to beall a elusion. Look at tat woman tere! Haunte by er cares, se takes no ee of er air, or of er personal appearance. Wit er ea all untiy, er apron tie roun er as a girle, wit a baby twiste into te bosom of er ress, se carries some wretce bean sauce wic se as been out to buy. Wat sort of creature is tliis? Tis all comes of not listening to te warnings of parents, an of not waiting for te proper time, but rusing suenly into ousekeeping ; an wo is to blame in te matter? Passion, wic oes not pause to reflect. A cil of five or six years will nenr tink of learning to play te guitar for its own pleasure. Wat a ten-million times miserable ting it is, wen parents, making teir little girls ug a great guitar, listen wit pleasure to te poor little tings playing on instruments big enoug for tem to climb upon, an squeaking out songs in teir srill treble voices. Now I must beg you to listen to me carefully. If you get confuse an on't keep a sarp lookout, your cilren brougt up upon arp an guitar-playing, will be abanoning teir parents, an running awa~ secretly. Depen upon it, from all tat is licentious an meretricious, someting monstrous will come fort. Te poet wo wrote "Te Four Sleeves," regare it as te rigt pat of instruction to convey a warning against vice. But te teater, an ramas, an fasionable songs-if te moral tat tey convey is misse-are a verv great mistake. Altoug you may tink it very rigt an proper tat a young lay soul practice noting but te arp an ~uita.r until er marriage, I tell you tat it 1s not so ; for if se misses te moral of er songs an music, tere is anger of er falling in love wit some man an eloping. Wit regar to te anger of over-confience, I ave a little tale to tell you. Be so goo as to wake up from rowsiness, an listen attentively. Tere is a certain powerful murex, te surza.ye, wit a very strong li to its sell. Now tis clam, if it ears tat tere is any anger astir, suts up its sell from witin wit a lou noise, an tinks itself perfectly safe. One ay a snapper an anoter fis, lost in envy at tis, sai, "Wat a strong castle tis is of yours, Mr. Murex, wen you can cut up your li from witin, noboy can so muc as point a finger at you. A capital figure you make, sir." Wen e ear tis, te murex, stroking is bear, replie, " Well, gentlemen, altoug you are so goo as to say so, it's noting to boast of in te way of safety; still, wen I sut myself up tus, I o not feel muc anxiety." An as e was speaking tus, wit te prie tat apes umility, tere came te noise of a great splas, an te murex, sutting up is li as quickly as possible, kept quite still, an tougt to imself wat in te worl te noise coul be. Coul it be a. net? Coul it be a fis-ook? Wat bore it was, always aving to keep suc a sarp lookout! Were te snapper an te oter fis caugt'! e wonere, an e felt quite anxious about tem; owever, at any rate, l e was safe. An so te time passe, an wen be tougt all was safe, e stealtily opene is sell an slippe out is ea, an looke all roun im. Tere seeme to be someting wrong, someting wit wic e was not familiar. As e looke a little more carefully, lo an beol! tere e was in a fismonger's sop, wit a car marke sixteen cas on is back! Poor sellfis! I tink tere are some people not unlike im to be foun in Cina an Inia. How little self is to be epene upon! Tere is a moral poem wic says, "It is easier to ascen to te clouy eaven witout a laer tan to epen entirely on one's self." Tis is wat is meant by te text, " If a man casts is eart from im, e knows not were to seek for it." Tink twice upon everyting tat you o. To take no care for te examination of tat wic re-. lates to yourself, but to look only at tat wic concerns oters, is to cast your eart from you. Casting your eart from you oes not mean tat your eart actually leaves you; wat is meant is, tat you o not examine your own conscience. Nor must you tink tat wat I ave sai upon tis point of self-confience applies only to wealt an rices. To rely on your talents, to rely on te services you ave renere, to rely on your cleverness, to rely on your jugment, to rely on your strengt, to rely on your rank, an to tink yourself secure in te possession of tese, is to place yourself in te same category wit te murex in te story. In all tings examine your own consciences. Te examination of your own earts is above all essential Here te preacer leaves is place. Lonely Workers. MANY Cristians ave to enure te solitue of unnotice labor. Tey are serving Go in a way wic is exceeingly useful, but not at all noticeable.

3 . I July 2, 1872.] ADVENT REVIEW AND HERALD OF THE SABBATH. Extravagantly Dresse Cilren. ONE of te crying sins of te age is te excessive ressing of cilren. In many a professely C?ristian om~ te first less.o~ a cil learns Is to ress m te prevallmg style. It leaves te crale amiring its fine clotes, an passes troug ours of trial an torture wit curling papers an crimping pins before it as learne to say, "Now I lay me own to sleep." Multitues of tese gaily resse cilren of te curc appear on our streets, an in our Sabbat-scools, beecke an beplume like te veriest butterflies. No woner tat, in te mist of suc a isplay of fluting, an flouncing, an frizzing, an sasing, tat ress, in many of our Sabbat-scools, soul be te one controlling tougt of life.

On earing wat te servants a to say about is lorsip's nap, an tat e was gone to Heaven, e quickly sai, I know, an am sure, tat e as not gone to Heaven. Tey, looking wit astonisment, aske im ow e coul tink so-so goo as e a been to.everyboy, especially to yourself. Well, says e, it is a long way an an a great journey to Heaven, an wenever is lorsip a to go a journey, e woul talk about an make preparations for it; talk about is luggage an ave. aresses upon it reay for te ay of startmg.

An I ave foun noting yet wic requires more courage an inepenence tan to rise, even a little, but eciely above te par of te religious worl aroun us." I Know e Is not Gone to Heaven. I NEED not say a wor about Scotlan, so well known by you an most of your reaers, but will give te following incient as it appene in tat country. I cannot now remember te name of te city or te Scotc nobleman were it occurre, but is lorsip was kin an affably ispose to all, but especially to tose of is own ouseol, not witoling in is aily associations tat general goo feeling to is servants wo, in consequence, were muc attace to im. It woul seem tat is lorsip was muc in te abit of taking a sleep in te aytime. On one of tese occasions, e, as usual, retire for a sort nap. He slept pretty soun an quiet; te servants tougt more so tan usual, but woul by no means isturb im; is oze was so long tat it began to work upon teir prolific imaginations, an brougt out teir varie sentiments upon te subject. Te. circumstance of secon sigt an trance penomena, wit reams in sleep, is not unusual in Scotlan ; an tey coul not elp supposing tat is lorsip was not merely sleeping. One sai tat e was in a trance, anoter, reaming some significant ream, but not being wit te rest. "Wat's te matter?" sai te frigtene cil. Tey tol er a squall a struck te vessel. "Is Fater on eck?" sai se. " Yes ; fater's on eck." Te little ting roppe erself on er pillow again witout a fear, an in a few moments was sleeping sweetly in spite of wins or waves. Blesse cil! How er confience sames our oubts an fears an restless, vague surmisings. Se a fait in fater, an se a no room for fear. An ow is it wit us? We ave our storms, an troubles, an temptations. We fear an tremble. Wat is te matter? Is it not time for us to ask, " Is Fater on eck?" Our Fater unerstans all about te vessel, te wins, te waves, te rocks, te storms, te squalls, te tempests; "Is Fater on eck?" Yes, blesse be Go, our Fater's "on eck" all te time. "He tat keepet Israel sall never slumber nor sleep." He is "on eck," for e says, "Lo, I am wit you alway." He is " on eck," for e as sai, "I will never leave tee nor forsake tee." Tempte, trouble, istresse, an frigtene soul, look up. Give to te wins ty fears. Rest in Go's faitfulness an love.

4 20 ADVENT REVIEW AND HERALD OF THE SABBATH. [Vol. 40, No. 3. "Sanotif:v tem tfoua 'l':r trut 1 'l':v wor la trut." BATTLE CREEK, MICH., THIRD-DAY, JULY 2, ELD. lames WHITE, } " J. N. ANDREWS, " J. H. WAGGONER, URIAH SMITH, EDITORS. Can te Soul be Kille f RESIDENT EDITOR. MATT. 10: 28: "An fear not tem wic kill te boy, but are not able to kill te soul; but rater fear im wo is able to estroy bot soul an boy in ell." Luke recors te same sentiment in tese wors : " An I say unto you my friens, Be not afrai of tem tat kill te boy, an after tat ave no more tat tey can o. But I will forewarn you wom ye sall fear: Fear im, wic, after e at kille at power to cast into ell; yea, I say unto you, Fear im." Luke 12:4, 5. Te estimate wic immaterialists put upon tese texts is tus expresse by Mr. Lanis, p. 181: "Tis text [Matt. 10: 28] terefore must continue to stan as te testimony of te Son of Go in favor of te soul's immortality, an is solemn conemnation of te soul-ruining errors of te anniilation an Saucean octrine." We reply : Mr. L. eviently applies te argu ment to a wrong issue; for watever it may teac concerning te intermeia~e state, it is most positively against te octrine of eternal misery, an te consequent immortality of te soul. It teaces tat Go can estroy te soul in ell; an tere is no force to our Lor's warning unless we unerstan it to affirm tat be will tus estroy te souls of te wicke. We never coul wit any propriety be warne to fear a person because e coul o tat wic e never esigne to o, an never woul o. We are to fear te civil magistrate to suc a egree, at least, as not to offen against te laws, because e as power to put tose laws into execution, an visit upon us merite punisment; but our fear is to rest not simply upon te fact tat e bas power to o tis, but upon te certainty tat e will o it if we are guilty of crime. Oterwise tere coul be no cause of fear, an no groun for any exortation to fear. Now we are to fear Go, tat is, fear to isobey im, because e is able to estroy boy an sonl in ell; an wat is necessarily implie in tis? It is implie tat e certainly will o tis in te cases of all tose wo o not fear im enoug to comply wit is requirements. So te text is a. irect affirmation tat te wicke will be estroye bot soul an boy in ell. Te next inquiry is, Wat is te meaning of te wor, estroy? We answer tat, take te wor, soul, to mean wat we will, te wor, estroy, ere as te same meaning an te same force as applie to te soul, tat te wor kill as as applie to te boy in te sentence before. Watever killing oes to te boy, estroying oes to te soul. Don't fear men because tey cannot kill te soul as tey kill te boy ; but fear Go because e!)an an will kill te soul (if.wicke) just as men kill te boy. Tis is te only consistent interpretation of te language. But all well unerstan wat it oes to te boy to kill it. It eprives it of all its functions an powers of life an activity. It oes te same to te soul to estroy it, supposing te soul to be wat is popularly suppose. Te wor ere renere estroy is tbroa.a.v(j ( appolluo), an is efine by Greenfiel, "to estroy, to kill, to put to eat," &c. Having seen tat te text affirms in te most positive manner te estruction of soul an. boy, or te complete cessation of existence, for all te wicke, in ell, we now inquire weter it teaces a conscious existence for te soul in te intermeiate state? Tis must be, it is claime, Haes occurs in te following passages : Matt. 11 : 23. Salt be brougt own to ell. 16: 18. Te gates of ell sall not prevail. Luke 10 : 15. Salt be trust own to ell. 16 : 23. In ell e lifte up is eyes. Acts 2 : 27. Wilt not leave my soul in ell. 2 : 31. His soul was not left in ell. on verse 26, says: ''On wat autority many ere translate te wor psuce in te 25t verse, Nfe an in tis verse, soul, I know not, but am certain it means life in bot places." B11t let us take te expressions, "soul" an "to lose te soul," in te popular sense, an wat soul we ave? Woesover will save is soul (to save te soul meaning to save it from ell) sall lose it (tat is sall go into ell torments) ; but wosoever will lose is soul (suffer eternal misery) for my sake, sall fin ~t (sall be save in Heaven). Tis makes utter nonsense of te passage, an so is a sufficient conemnation of be to celebrate a universal peace alreay in existence; for suc is yet far from being realize. It must terefore be taken as referring to a peace yet to be acieve. It is meant as a propecy an a token of a time soon to come wen uni"4?rsal peace sall reign over a worl wose iscorant elements are all use into 1 Cor.l5: Grave, were is ty victory? armonious repose.

We soul prayerfully stuy it, labor to learn its requirements of us, an poner well in our earts its elevating an sanctifying truts. It soul be our aim on reaing te Holy Bible to be mae te wiser an better eac timo we rea it, an to manifest in our lives a growt in te knowlege of te trut. By often applying to our earts te principles of te wor of Go, our communion wit im is greatly increase, our love of eavenly tings is strengtene, our affections etace more an more from tis worl, an our influence for goo greatly enlarge. Sin appears more an more einous, an rigteousness more an more to be esire. Says Davi," Ty wor ave I i in mine eart, tat I migt not sin against tee." Ps. 119: 11. How muc sin we may avoi, an ow many mistakes escape, by aving our mins well iscipline from te wor of Go. How often we meet wit te yout wo ave but little or no mental iscipline. Teir reaing matter is ligt, froty, an poisonous. For te stuy of te wor of Go, or reaing calcu. late to balance an eucate te min for future usefulness, or appiness, tey ave no relis. Teir steps take ol on eat. In merriment,, frivolity, an sinful inulgences, tey press on to te Jugment of te great ay. O! ow te precious moments of sort life are squanere an lost, forever lost. But suc may cleanse teir ways. Tey may come into favor wit Go an reeem te time. Unspeakably blesse tougt! "Werewital sall a young man cleanse is way? by taking ee tei.eto accoring to ty wor."

Of our nearest associate an most faitful companion, te moon, very little ia known. For tousans of years se as been observe wit te nake eye, an since te iscovery of te telesc:>pe, we ave incessantly examine er.

We are not.~ven yet assure weter se as an atmospere, weter te spots on er isc are mountains or valleys, weter se as a vegetation or an organic life. Tere exist many teories, but none ave been are11e into facts.. Science is as little capable of explaining t~ penomena of our globe as tose wic surroun It. Te nature of te meteors, wic incessantly traverse our atmospere, an partly issolve in it, cannot be accurately ascertaine. Are tey telluric an cosmic in teir origin? We may assume, but cannot positively affirm wic. Year after year te skies present te same magnificent penomena of te nortern ligts. Te spectacle is amire by laymen an stuie by scientists. How oes it originate? Wat forms te fiery clous, pillars an waves? Even te most learne are unable to answer tis question wit certainty, Te same is true in relation to eartquakes, wic ave so intima.te a connection wit te formation of te crust, te ivision of lan an w-ater, wic raise mountains, fill up valleys, make abysses, an estroy cities. Man confronts te forces of nature in perfect elplessness. Were is teir seat? In te interior of te eart? or near te crust? Is te centre of our planet a fiery mass, wic breaks troug ere an tere? Do te fires originate by some means only a few miles uner our feet? Are tey te result of a conitional evelopment, or of a graual ecomposition of te place wic we inabit? None know. Hypoteses conflict, but not one of tem is capable of proof. Te series of socks wic we ave lately experience as seriously lessene our sense of security an confience in " terra firma." In various parts of Europe te soil eaves uner foot.. Antioc, te great, beautiful an powerful of ancient ays. as sunk in consequence of eartquakes, wic ave visite er for centuries, to te conition of a traing post. Centuries passe between te visitations, but teir memory coul not be obliterate, te traition coul not ie. Instea of te inabitants estroye on a. former occasion~ te emon of estruction contente itself tis time wit 1,500, but only because tere were no more victims. Simultaneously wit Syria, te soutern part of California was te scene of a series of violent socks wic ave esolate wole regions. Tere is no visitation more awful an fatal tan an eartquake. All oter castisements of Provience, suc as war, pestilence, famine an rougt, may be borne in comparison wit tis. Like a flas of ligtning from a clear sky, it surprises its victims. No efinite premonitory symptoms inicate its rea approac. No uman foresigt or care can avert te ealy anger. Wenever it comes, weter in broar ayligt or in te silent arkness of te nigt, tere is no safety, no escape. Tose wo manage to escape from te falling roof an tottering walls of te builing only run te risk of te gulfs opening in every irection before teir terror-stricken eyes. Wen te eart eaves an yawns, man fully realizes is impotence. He can o noting but turn is eye eavenwar, an quietly submit to is fate. Harly a te eart cease to sway an tremble on te Pacific wen we ear from Italy tat Vesuvius is belcing fort pillars of fire an cataracts of lava. Wo can say wat next te mysterious subterranean powers may not ave in store for us? Socks an volcanic eruptions may occur at any moment were tey ave never been seen before, an te largest an most populous cities may be blotte out. Science is utterly elpless in view of tese perils. Since ages, te wisest mine ave stuie our planet an te universe beyon, but te knowlege of te wisest, wo ave inerite te intellectual treasures of past generations, is like a rop in te ocean. Tey feel all liken ewton an Humbolt, tat tere are bouns beyon wic no mortal eye can ever ope to pass.-inter- Ocean. Drawing Nig to Go. THE ivine instruction," Draw nig to Go," seems very simple, yet it is wonerful. Sall we raw nig to te Infinite? Sall we approac te trone of Omnipotence? Sall pollute sinners come into te presence of spotless purity? Wat wonerful conescension is manifest in te comman, "Draw nig to Go." It is too wonerful for us to compreen; an still it but opens to te soul te supply of its greatest nee. It nees instruction, life, purification, communion,-all of wic can only bil foun by coming to Go for tem. Can te soul bear exposure to te all-searcing eye? Can it bear te ivine illumination wic will sow its own appalling caracter? If siele by ivine forgiveness, can it at last rener ue gratitue to a sin-paroning Go? Sall not its incompleteness provoke te wrat of im tat sittet. upon te trone? Remembering tat our completeness is in im wo at reeeme us wit is own bloo, we may rest secure in im. Hence our approac to Go may be in peace an wit te most absolute confience. Tere is abunant reason wy we 11oul raw nig to Go. We nee to be instructe, purifie, quickene, an strengtene. All tese are foun in Go troug Crist. We nee peace an communion to allay our soul's fear an satisfy te cravings of intelligences forme for oly companionsip an immortal existence. We fin tese, troug Crist, in our Fater's presence. In im we fin beauty, love, usefulness, appiness, an elevation in te scale of existence. Tis rawing nig to Go, toug averse to te fallen nature of man, accors entirely wit is primitive conition i ence e wo is stirre by te Spirit banise by te fall, is eeply move wit longing to approac te autor of tat Spirit,-an well e migt be, for tere is peace, an true wealt, an salvation in no oter.

"Woolan, June 14, "EDITOR DEMOCRAT :-Te tent-meetings in tis place ave awakene a very great interest in te mins of te people, an from wat I ear aily I tink very many of our fellow-citizens are convince tat te speakers in te tent are teacing te trut, especially on te subject of te Sabbat. Yet, on attening out regular Tursay evening prayer-meeting, I learne tat a few of our Metoist an Cristian bretren, incluing te ministers of bot tose curces, claim tat te octrines avocate in te tent are ' grms errors,' an te ministers state in my earing tat tey coul very easily an plainly sow tis by te Bible. Now, it' tey can o tis, I, in bealf of many citizens, request tem to o it before te same auience tat ear te 1 errors' in te tent; for if it is error, te sooner it is expose te better. " If te men in te tent are rigt on te Sabbat question, ten we wo keep Sunay are wrong. 1J'or one I am very anxious to learn just te trut in tis matter. " Elers Cornell an Lougboroug appear like cani men. Tey ave repeately an publicly offere to give te use of teir tent to any minister wo tougt be coul point out errors in te tings tey teac, an I tink our ministers ougt to accept teir offer an sow te oter sie of te Sabbat question in te tent; for if Sunay be te Sabbat of te Bible, ten let tem come to te rescue. "ONE OF MANY WHO WisH "To HEAR BoTH SmEs." Vermont. SABBATH, June 1, I met wit te curc of Enosburg, an spoke on te importance of not coming own from te exalte work of Go.

If gluttony is inulge in, it must be at te expense of intellect an spirituality. Large eaters are rarely close tinkers. Go's people are prone to backsliing.

But ow many tere are, even in our own generation, wo blame te Isr~elites for teir wickeness an folly, yet ke tem, tey will worsip te golen calf.

We may not be so egrae ag to worsip eaten images or popis crucifixes; but let us remember tat "tere may be iols in te eart, wen tere are none in te sanctuary.". One may iolize a cil, a broter, a SIB ter, a fater, or a. moter; but says te Lor Jesus, "He tat lovet fater or moter more tan me is not worty of me ; an e tat lovet son or augter more tan me is not worty of me.''
