A CHAIR FOR JESUS.
11\ little daughter, aged two years and a half,
.11...1i1t it a privilege to set the chairs around
Le (11 ri ner-table—one for mamma, one for papa,
„tic for Mabel. She would drop her play
pun tic instant her mother called her to do it.
day, by one of the strange fancies of children
P that age, she set a fourth chair, and said,
That fur Jeder " [Jesus]. The door was then
poled. as usual, for her to go into another room
ad knock on the study door, and bring her fa
aer. When she brought him to the table, she
elated out that fourth chair, and told him that
wa, for Jesus. This was repeated four or five
Though, of course, she did not feel the ful
ignificance of her words, yet she had a distinct
onception of Jesus as a person. The mind of
hild is an enigma. Our'theory is that they un-
, lerstand but verz little yet we are daily and
lcurly surprised , exceptions. One of my ear,
lest and "most vivid recollections is that of the
ime when the idea of God as an, infinite ; Creator
irst dawned,upon me. I remember that it was
,a the forenoon, while I was puzzling over the,
words of my mother the night before, and that,
all at once, standing in the yard, and looking up
toward the sky, the truth was opened , up to my
mind, so that the world seemed ever after differ
ent, in that God filled it.
But, whatever may have been the understand
ing of it by our child, it may be supposed that
the words had a deep and providential lesson, for
us, that Jesus was thought about, and spoken
and that His presence and blessing were invoked
at those meals with peculiar interest. How did
it convict us of having neglected. our Saviour,
when, in unrestrained intercourse we spoke so
much more freely of other names, of having
failed to apprehend His. real presence :in our
morning and evening, devotions, and of, having
ignored, in our trials, His sympathy, wisdom and
strength !
A chair for Jesus ! How it suggests him as a
house companion I . It was a wise, and, doubtless,
originally devout custom of the ancient Romans,
to place their household gods around their hearth
stones. Thus their religion became the, religion
of common life. This is what the Founder of our
faith designed our religion ,1;o i be._We are apt,
sometimes, to wonder why Christ did ,not begin
11 is ministry immediately upon His interview with
the Jewish doctors, 'at the age, of twelve, when
Ile gave proof of the power and . claimed the au
thority to do so. We think of Ithasore need that
the world then had for. a Saviour, while men,
losing confidence in their old and childish myth
ologies, built, altars ; to•the UNKNOWN, and feel as
if eighteen years of precious service had been,
almost thrown away. But it was that He might
exemplify, in a life of self-denial, the duties, of
home religion. The masses of the world are born
to toil, and so He toiled- Being .in the form . ot
a servant, He did a servant's drudgery. We can-,
not but suppose that His hands were hardened
with the axe and the saw, and the, mallet and the
plane. We picture Him in the lovely mountain
forest, selecting the trees, and assisting in cutting
and hewing and transporting diem. He could
not be forgetful, that on some such rough beam,
His hands and His feet would one day be nailed.
A rude cabin may have been His shelter, a bunch
of' boughs His bed, His food cooked in the rudest
way, and His drink the running brook.
In those times men did not live on scattered,
isolated farms, but in villages. Village boys
played around where Joseph and his Son were
working, and crowds of men passed and repassed
daily. The labor here would be in framing tim
bers, and in the general joiner-work upon doora,
and easinms, and windows, and the lattices "and
galleries o c f the inner court. It was a business
that brought Him into contact with other tiades,
with the smith who wrought the iron and brass,
and the mason who laid the walls. He would al
so be in frequent cansultation with those who
were about to build, embodying their wishes in
drafts, and making
,estimates of the cost. How
natural fbr Him to have said' in his teachings:
Which of you, intending to build a tower, sit,
teth not down first, and counteth the cost, wheth
er he have sufficient to finish it?" This occupa
tion took Him from village to village, and so he
became known over a conSiderable part of the
province of Galilee. On the Sabbath he sat in
their synagogues and listened to the reading of
Moses and the prophets, and to the oral commen
tary upon it.
At home He was' subject. to His mother, who
pondered so long on all the wonderful signs con
nected with the birth of her Son, and .whose
anxiety to have Him enter upon His mission . of
mighty works is seen at the marriage feast at
Cana. We know how faithfully He must have
performed all the little offices, which could min
tater to her comfort. The just and merciful Jo
seph passed away before his Son was crucified,
and probably before He entered upon His minis
try. Evidently he died poor ; for we find that
Mary was_ left a penniless Widow. The life of
Jesus had not brought Him wealth, but suchlove
as His could not but gain for Him, in some
h..arts, a store of love, and that love he be
queathed to His Mother, when He committed' her'
theto care of John.
Thus, by a life of severe and unrequited labor,
was He made like unto His brethren; that toil
ing humanity, returning home from daily labor,
weary, lame and hungry, might be encouraged to
look up to Him as a merciful high-priest, who
could be touched with a. feeling of' our infirmi
ties. Therefore, can He be a household Saviour
to all mankind. A chair may be set for Him,
who is as one of them. He .can Hap to the tale
lire's work and woe, and can.lift off the bur
den of it. The home of poverty is made . cheer
ful by His presence. The lonely,find Him com
panionable. To those who ate careful and trou
bled because of the labor and' loss of this. world,
He gives the good part. Those who cannot Ola
tail] a permanent home, He reminds that, though
He built homes for others, He' had not where to
lay His head, and wherever He uieets.with them.,
there is home, a foretaste of the mansions He
has gone to prepare.

because He noticed them, spoke to them, even
interrupting His teachings to take them in His
If men but knew Him as a home Saviour, they
would not deny Him and seek the mediatorship
of Mary and of the saints.
But how many families are there that claim
the name of Jesus,
who have no chair for Him !
They are ashamed to thank Him openly for the
food they eat, and to ask Him to bless it. They
are ashamed when they have eaten, to bow down
before Him and worship Him. The worshippers
of Brahma and the followers of Mahomet confess
their faith before their families and neighbors,
and it is perpetuated from generation to genera
tion. The Christian religion is, in the present
generation, dying out of many families, because it
has so little power. Would that they might re
spond to the Saviour at their
,doors, knocking
sadly and patiently, and would welcome HiM to a
Chair! Surely they would find Him a pleasant
companion at their tables and their firesideg.

The advent of another volume -of LITTELL'S
LIVING AGE,—the XCIVIIth this time—is al-
wan a welcome event. The present volume eon
tains the weekly issues for April, May and Jnne
of the present year. Periodical literature, espe,
cially in England, is rapidly growing in import-.
atm and in volume. The " live questions " of'
the day are discussed in the magazines father
than in the books, and no person in any walk of
life can afford to ignore the articles which make
their mark on contemporary thought. In the pre
sent volume the theologian for instance will find
matter of interest and value in such articles as
that of the Edinburgh on Bunsen, of the Quar
terly on Robert South, or Prof. Plumptre (in the,
Contemporary) on Church Parties, and Regnald
Stuart Poole on the Talmud, of Mr. Gladstone (in
Good Words on " Ecce Hotno;" of Dr. Grathrie,
. . . ,
(in the Sunday Magazine), on the "Friendship of
Jonathan ;" of a " German Clergyman" on ' l Ecce
Homo,
".&c., &c. So, too, the shorter articles on
"The Muratorian Canon," on " Emotional Skep
ticism," 9n "Dean , Alford's: 'Study of the New.
Testament,' !' on " Dr. J. H. Newman's.Poencs;!
on "The Spanish Mystics," -on "Dr. Pusey 'on.
Modern Society," on "The Future of the Jews in
Europe," all serve to keep a pastorer, preacher
out of the ruts, by, bringing him into rapport with.
the currents of fresh theological thought. We
can conceive of no more:acceptable presentlo such
a one than a year's subscription to this excellent
weekly which may be had either direetly from
the Boston Publishers :(Littell & Gay,) .or. from
Howard Challen, special agent,l3oB Chestnut , St,..
For a matter-of-fact, realistic, life-like picture
of our. Western people, we can cordially recom
mend Mr. N. C. Meeker's LIFE IN ,THE WEST, a'
collection of well-told stories. Its author , writes
from experience, having long resided in the val
ley of the Mississippi; by a thousandlittle touches.
he shows that he is one who has gone through
life with both eyes open, and can tell what be has
seen. His sympathies are always on• the• side of
loyalty, good order and religion, though his 'con
victions in,the, latter do not appear to , take any
Very definite form. He writes largely froui what
Carlyle:would call "the able editor's standlpoint,"
being indeed the. Agricultural Editor of the Tri
bune. Few. such pictures of "Egypt," few such•
homilies on " the peculiar institution," few such
" leaders" on the Republican side, have we seen,
as is the " Northern Refugee" in this volume;
while the Editors of "Lange 'on Genesis," might
have learnt ,a "heap' from Mr. Meeker's "Egyp
tian Preacher," on the . relations of Satan and
Eve. S. R. Wells of New York, is the publisher.
From Howard Challen, (Philada.,) we haveTe
ceived. (1.) KOINONIA, the Weekly Contribu
tion, by Jas. Challen. (2.) 'A QUESTION BOOK
ON MATTHEW, with Answers. (3.) A QUESTION
BOOK ON. THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES, , by Jas. •
Challen. The Messrs. Challen are well-known
and esteemed members of.the denomination called
"Disciples," though often known as "Campbell
ites." a body who lay especial stress on the study
of, and strict obedience to, the word of God. The
first of these works in an 'investigation into the
Apostolic method of systematic‘ beneficence. The
titles of the others explain themselves, add they
must be judgedef by proficients in the new science
of S. S. instruction.
THE FOOTPRINTS OF'LIFE, by Philip Harvey,
M.D., (S. R. Wells, N. Y., publisher,) embodies
about as much - poetic bathos, ignorant dogmatism,
and sneering skepticism, as could well be crowded
into 140 pages. Its theology is about equal to that
of the "Age of Reason ;" its sciei3ceis a paraphrase
without'improvement of the "Vestiges' of Crea
tion ;" its modesty—a marked feature in every
great scientific work,— is nil.
PAMPHLETS AND PERIODICALS.
The American, Presbyterian and Theological
•
Review for July, opens with Dr. Adam's address
at the closing of Union Seminary, " Completeness
of Ministerial Character," a synopsis of which we
laid before our readers at the time of its delivery,
as also of the second article—Dr. Skinner's ad
dress on, "Preaching Christ." The third article
on "Mill's Reply to his Critics," by Dr. McCesh
is certainly the, piece de resistance of the number.
It is a republication from the Brit. and For. E.
Rev., and gives a resume of ihe recent discussion
of the psychology of cognition, before grappling
with Mr. Mill's empirical views. Dr. Smith adds
a note containing a rejoinder to Mr. 'Mill's reply
to his own Arictures. The fourth article by Rev.
B. ThUrston of Stamford, Conn., on "Revolutions
in the Light of the Bible," brings inspired wis
dom and Hebrew experience to tho i ,solutions of
knotty questions in modern pOlitie.s.. The fifth
article by Dr. Gillett, on "'The Men and Times
of the Reunion of 1858," shows its author as
much at home as ever in the field of Presbyterian
history, and presents many, points of interest, from
the parallel between 1758 and 1868. The sixth
article by Dr. Stearns on "The Xth Article," we
have already noticed. It is, in the Main, an at
tempt to answer Dr. Patterson's speeCh, which
*ter tihOuld have found a place, in the Reviev.
The number closes. with 14 pages : , of, interesting
literary notes and notices. We may suggest the
need of more efficient proof-reading. 1 - 11 any of
the mistakes betray a carelessness that would dis
grace a daily newspaper.
