RECOLLECTIONS Or HANNAH MORE,
I c an but faintly picture now that ven
erable lady, who more than forty years
ago received and greeted us with cordial
warmth in her graceful drawing-room at
Barley Wood; directed our attention to the
records she had kept of glorious friend
ship with the truly great; spoke with
humble and holy pride of her labors
through a very long life; impressed upon
our then fresh minds the wisdom of virtue,
the inconceivable blessing of Christian
training and Christian teaching, and bailed
us with encouraging hope and affectionate
s ympathy, just as we were entering the
path she had trodden to its close—she,
who had been a burning and a shining
light long before we were born.
Her form was small and. slight; her
features wrinkled with age.; but the bur
den of eighty years had not impaired her
gracious smile, nor lessened the fire of her
e y e s—the clearest, the brightest, and the
most searching I have ever seen. They
were singularly dark—positively black
they seemed, as they looked forth, among,
carefully-trained tresses of her own white
hair ; and absolutely sparkled while she
spoke of those of whom she was the vene
rated link between the present and the long
past. Her manner on entering the room,
while conversing, and at -our departure,
was positively sprightly; she tripped about
form console to console, from window to
window, to show us some .gift that bore a
name immortal, some cherished reminder
of other days--almost of another world,
certainly of another age; for they were
memories of those whose deaths were-re
gistered before the present century had
birth.
She was clad, I well remember, in a
dress of rich pea-green silk. It was an odd
whim, and contrasted somewhat oddly with
her patriarchal age and venerable coun
tenance, yet was in harmony with the
youth of her step, and her unceasing viva
city, as she laughed and chatted, chatted
and laughed; her voice strong and clear
as that of a girl; and her animation as full
of life and vigor as it might have been
in her spring-time. If it be true of wo
man that
Those who rock the cradle rule the world,"
how large a debt is due from mothers—
everywhere and forever—to the abundant
and beneficent helps they derive from the
writings of Hannah More I
She flourished in a period when religion
was little more than a sound in England;
when the clergy of the English Church
were virtuous only in exceptional cases,
and the flocks committed by the state to
their charge were left in as utter ignorance
of social and religious duties as if they had
been really but sheep gone astray; when
France was rendering impiety sacred and
raising altars for the worship of Reason,
and when in England there were vile
copyists—professional propagators of sedi
tion and blasphemy under the names of
liberty and fraternity.
At that terri-ble-timelletansh More-came
out in her strength. Her tracts, pam
phlets, poems / and books aided largely to
stem the torrent which for a while threat
ened to overwhelm all of good and just in
these kingdoms. They inculcated as an
imperative duty the education of ,the peo
ple, stimulated Gospel teaching by persua
sions and threats adclressed to those who
had been appointed, at least by man, to
the office of the ministry, and stirred up
to be her helpers men and women of ever;
class, from the humblest to the highest,
from the cottage to the throne. She did
her work so wisely as seldom to eseite
either prejudice or hostility. Those who
might have been the bitter opponents of
men so occupied, were tolerant of zeal in
a woman, and it cannot be questioned that
her sex sheltered her from assailants, while
it empowered her to make her way where
met would have failed of entrance.
She was not bigoted. There was in her
nothing of coarse sectarianism, opposing
scepticism in phraseology harsh and un
compromising. Her mind had ever a lein
ing, and her language always a tendency,
to the charity that suffereth long and is
kind. What was meant for mankind she
never gave up to party ; though a thorough
member of the Church of England, she
saw 3o evil motive in those who counseled
withirawal from it; though with her, faith
was the paramount blessing of life, and
the trst and great commandment, duty to
God, she inculcated all the duties of that
which is next to it, "Love thy neighbor
as thyself;" nor had she any value - Tor the
religion that consisted mainly of idle or
listless obsetvance--cold adherence to out
ward formalities—nor any trust.in that de
pendence on Providence which is but a
mere admission of belief. There was no
taint of asceticism in her piety, no abne
gation of enjoyment, under the idea that
to be cheerful and happy is to displease
God. Her religion was practical . ; she rel
ished many Of the pleasures which the
world.y consider chief, and the " rigidly
righteous" ignore as sinful. She might,
indeee.—and it is probable often did—ap-
Pk' to herself that line in the epigram of
Dr * Young
I Ive in pleasure while I live to thee!"
In all her thoughts, words, and work, she
was in the service of One who
"Must delight in virtue,
And that which he delights in must be happy."
She especially labored to give religion
to the young as a source of enjoyment that
is to degree diminished happiness, and
Wes constant in imploring youth not to
postpone the blessing until alp had ren
deied pleasure distasteful. " It is," she
wrote, " a wretched sacrifice to the God of
heaven to present him with the remnants
of decayed appetites, and the leaVings of
e xtinguished passions."
The district in which Providence had
placed her in her youth was as " benight
,e,4" as could have been a jungle in Oaf
; the people not only knew not
they were utterly ignorant of moral
' l 4 9(i social duties, and ignored all responsi
r'lity in thought, word, and deed. In
fait moral desert, Hannah More and her
"''tors set to work. The inevitable oppo
siltion. was encountered. Neighboring
'tillers had no idea of encouraging educa

tion or of tolerating religion among the
outcasts who did their daily work. The
one, they argued, made them discontented;
the other, idle; while the clergy considered
such teachers as mere poachers on the
barren tract they called theirs. Not only
thus did opposition come; eves the parents
in many cases refused to send their ehil
siren to school, unless they were paid for
doing so ; and hard indeed seemed the
toil, to which these good , sisters were de
voted; but they persevered, God helping
them- Very soon,schools were established,
and not schools, nnly—the sick and needy
found ministering angels in these women,
and for all :their physical wants they had
comforters. It is only when religion goes
hand in hand with'elnirity that'its, teaching
can be effectual' and its efforts successful.
Under her system, prejudices' broke down ;
her experiments led to - undertakings;
large institutions .followed her small estab
lishments for the ailing, •the ignorant, or
the wicked. The, rich were taught to care
for the poor, and in that little corner of
mighty England that lies under the shadow
of the Cheddar hills, a beacon was lit that
at once warned and stimulated the pros
perous. The piety of Hannah More was
" practical piety,' and to her must be' as
signed much of. the diatinction this king
dom derives from that all-glorious sen-.
tence, now so often read in many parts of
it, a sentence that beyond all others in our
language makes, as it ought to .make, an
Englishman proud— -
" Supported by voluntary contributions."
—Hours at Home.
THE RELIGION OF THE BEPiUTIFUL.
There is a purity of taste, an ,infinite
remoteness from .Vulgarity, an elevating;,
love of the beautiful, which is in danger
of being mistaken for religibn. The beau
tiful and the good, however; have distinct
spheres and totally different natures. A
person who lives habitually in obedience
to his conscience may have a poor esteem'
of the finest specimens of art or the grand
est natural scenery. What a happy thing
it is that the great body of our pious peen
ple are not to be judged by the rule of the
beautiful! They rejoice in the mercy of
God.; they are touched by a sight of suf
fering ; they feel under the preaching of
the Gospel the power of the love of Christ
but they know nothing of Raphael or Michael
Angelo, have no akin in criticising
tures, and would hardly stop their worlrio
look at the most perfect rainbow. We
have seen pious men sleep under the
almost speaking, almost weeping, music of
the great Freiburg organ.
It is a most happy provision that taste
is not essential to salvation. Even moral
grandeur may be achieved with but. little
Eesthetical culture. No one will accuse
Oliver Cromwell of any very tender sense
of the beautiful. Indeed, it is quite prob
able that he sympathized with that barba
rian taste in his rude soldiers which led
them to demolish the statuary and pictures,
and to smash in the grand old stained r glass
windows of the English cathedrals. To
them and to him Art was Popish and idola
trous. They would have clubbed the stars
out-of-th-eir-pfa - cresi - had - it-bren-po - ssible i if
the cavaliers had kissed their hands to
them. And yet Cromwell and his iron
ranks were noble specimens of sincere
piety. There, too, was John the Baptist,
pronounced by the Master of us all to be
the greatest of prophets, and declared by
the angel to be " great in the sight of the
Lord," yet his grandeur was wholly moral.
His graces were not those of taste or pol
ished refinement, but of honest, yugged
truthfulness and undoubted couraae. He
came in the .power and spirit o?Elijah.
His hot words would not endure a flower.'
We do not say that beauty may not
weave a 'chaplet for the brow of justice, or
put a crown of golden richness on the
head of deepest piety. We alWays consid
ered John Wesley to be wrong when, in,
his humility, he boasted that he " could,
if he dared, write as finely as the most elo
quent authors of his day, but that he no
more dared to write in a fine style than to
wear a fine coat." We believe that Jere
my Taylor is none the less religious as a
man or effective as a Christian author for
having woven 'whole gardens of flowers
into his writings. And, in our opinion,
had John Fletcher, left the glow of beauty
out of the " checks" in which he defend
ed Wesley while the latter carried the
Gospel to the multitudes of the poor, the
said checks would have lost much of their
attractiveness and utility. But while
beauty, whether of nature or art, of matter
or mind, may come to the aid of religion,
and, by becoming a decoration, make truth
more palatable, and even piety more seemly,
still beauty is not goodness, and the love
and worship of beauty is not religion, at
least not the true religion.
And yet how many are there, especially
among the half-educated, who constitute,
by the way, a large
.class of church-goers,
whose religion is nothing more than a shal
low, and sometimes pretentious, sense of the
beautiful. Their religion is spade up of
decencies, if not gayeties, in the house of.
God—velvet, gilt, fine carpets, with hymn
book, prayer-book, and clothing to match.
Their raptures are transports, of esthetic
feeling over operatic 'music and a finely
intoned liturgy. Their interest in the ser
mon is rhetorical; it has its hold on forms
of expression, on figures of speech, on
tones of voice. And even when Ohrig
tianity is more broadly and proudly viewed,
it is to be feared that sometimes even then
its strength is only admired as sublime, and :
its revelations of heaven as beautiful. In,
such a case it is only a wretched, sterile,
critical taste, handling the word of life.
Multitudes bf such people attended fast -'
ionable churches, of whom the Prophet ,
might repeat his words :—" They come as
my people come, they sit as my people 'sit';
thou art to them, Son of Man, as one that
hath a pleasant voice , and can play skil
fully, on an instrument, for they hear thy
words, but they do, them not."
The feeling with which they regard re
ligion is the same' with which' they leek at
a landscape or read a poem. As in the
one case they see beauty'ih nature or in
verse, so in the other they see it, and it
only, -in religion and its sacred 'service.
The depths' of holy' love present to .
only aesthetic aspects.; 'the conscienceJ plays
no part, and vrship is not -adoration. of
God as holy,.;but only, as sublime. We
know, and are happy to' know, that the
ideas of beauty and sublimity enter into
spiritual worship, to deepen and elevate it.
There is, therefore, an esthetic element in
that worship, which is "in spirit and in
truth," but it is the polish and coloring of
devotion, not its substance. If this were
not so, then profane artists, creators in
the realm of the beautiful, might be saints,
and true saints who are uncultivated as to
their msthetical faculties would be their
inferiors as Christians. There is the
highest, beauty in, religion, but the mere
religion of the beautiful, where the gloss
and not the soul of religion is honored and
appropriated, is - a ,dream. " Why call ye
me Lord, and' do not the things which I
aommand ?"- The`Methodist.
WHAT IS SUCCESS ?
Mortimer began life under the usual con
ditions of poverty—neither friend nor in
fluence to help. He resolved, nevertheless,
to make his mark. He became industrious,
and industry brought him wealth. He
was sternly upright, and that secured re
spect. His generosity kept pace with his
gains, and that won renown; so that at the
age of fifty he was the richest man in hi4i
State, and its chief magistrate. He grew
ill.- Medical science was impotent. "Sir,"
said his attendantA" thd brittle thread will
snap before the sun goes down." Aston
ished, he said, "It cannot be; I Shall•be
up to-morrow." _Every art was applied in
vain. The agitated form grew weak. Tick,
tick, the 'seconds went, and before the ; '
shadows came ` the catastrophe was . upon
him. Turning to the wall, in an agony no
pen can describe; be cried, . " My life has
been a failure,", and was dead.
Christiana entered humbly- upon life,
and before the sun had reached his zenith
was widowed and broken, and five little
ones cried for bread. "It is well," she
said, "we will walk with God." Long and
dreary years came and went, years of care
and suffering and yet further bereavement.
Hard, hard went the strife of life, till men
said God was not pitiful. At fifty she was
not of earth. In her conflicts she had
studied the heroes of faith and endeavor of
other times. The Scripture characters she
knew by heart. Bunyan's Pilgrim was her
companion. The Saints' Rest had become
her• own. Payson was her exponent.
"The celestial city," she would say, "is
full in . my view. Its glories beam upon
me, its odors are wafted to me, its 'sounds
strike upon my ears, and its spirit is
breathed into my heart." Anu her latest
breath testified, "I have fought a good
fight, I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith. Thanks be unto God for
his unspeakable gift."
These are no sketches of the fancy, but
veritable history. Tell me, What is suc
cess?
TWO MASTERS,
We once knew one who was very fervent
in the prayer-meeting, but * notoriously
selfish and graspiqg in his business. Once
caught in a mean ; dishonorable act, he was
asked how he could reconcile his life in
the store with his prayers and exhortations
in the conference-room. He replied-:-s—
-"0 ! Mr. Brown, you are always confound
ing things worldly and spiritual!" This
man, when he earnestly prayed, was no
hypoorite. The `emotions in his hours of
devotion were real; sometimes they would
almost rise to ecstasy. This was the piety
of feeling; but it did =not control his con
science, and was not:founded on principle.
He made. the strength of his emotions the
test of his piety. It these were, intense, he
thought himself in
• a high
.frame of reli
gious experience; if they .were sluggish,
he would lament his coldness. Religion
and life were to a' great degree distinct.
His houi in the meeting and his day in the
store were like - living in two different
worlds. The one was erected and other
was profane. , He • thought little of the
moral man, and disconnected religion•from
daily life.---Christian Treasury.
GIVING ENRICHES.
Giving conscientiously, and from a de
sire to honor God, doe.s not e empoverish the
giver. "Give and it shall be given, unto
you again,"—eiren an hundred fold of both
property and friends., (Mark a.. 30.) He
who has all resources at his disposal,
will bestow upon every faithful steward all
the abundance of earthly good which that
steward can wisely use. It was in refer
ence to worldly prosperity. that God said
to his people, "Bring ye, all the tithes into
the store house, that there may be meat
in mine house, and prove me here,with, if
I will not open the windows of heaven and
pour you out a blessing that there shall
not be room' enough to receive it t " Such
is the Divine bounty, that 'man gives his
tithe, and God fills both home and heart
with good. The morning flower gives up
'its dew=drop;= the heavens return the eve
ning shower. Nor fills that shower'On
the ,giver only. The firmament was full
before, and but: the tiny drop was needed,
when , bursting clouds pour.. blessings far
and wide.—Christian Secretary.
HEADING NORTH.'
A man who lately died' in Europe at the
age of 109 years, attributeslis longevity to
the fact that he always slept with , his he/d
to,the north. In this country, a few years
ago, not a few persons found it necessaryo
l it
head north to preserve their health and e en
life itself. The author, of." Researcheson
i „

serVations haye gone, I know that my sl ep

GRACE FREE TO ALL.
Grace does •not depend on any power or
merit in man; no, not in any degree,
neither in whole; nor in part. It does not
in any wise depend either on the good
works or righteousness of the receiver;
not on anything he has done, or anything
he is. It chum not depend on his endeav
ors. It doei nof ; depend on his good tem
pers.,
or„goou aesires, or good ,purposes and

free grace of 'Goa; they are the streams
only, not the fountain. They are the fruits
of free 'graie, not the root. They are not
the eauseyburthe effects' of it. This is
His grace free , to alll , that ito way"de
