Hammond's attractive and practical books for the young. Its object is more particularly stated in its dedica tion which reads thus :—" To the dear children in England, Scotland, and America, where it has been our privilege to point little ones in the way to heaven, this book, about Jesus and the Holy Land, is affectionately dedicated by the Author, with the earnest prayer, that it may lead many of you to love Jesus, and that it may assist those of you who have found Him to love His precious word, and to cling to Him, and to do all in your power to lead others to trust in him, who is the Child's guide .to Heaven.' " Jesus the way " is peculiar in this respect. It has a double object. Its first great ain't is to arrest the attention of its youthful readersshow them that they are lost sinners—and POINT THEM TO JESUS, the only one who can lead them in the way to heaven. At the same time it gives a brief history of the author's travels in Palestine. All its illustrations and stories are connected with that Land, and thus it contains much informa tion with regard to Bible scenes. This book only requires to be known to be come a great favorite among the little folks. It is well illustrated. It should haye a place in every Sabbath school in the land, and those who ure seeking to lead children to Jesus, will do well to study it and see how Jesus is " LIFTED UP," for that often is the one great secret of all suC cess in winning souls to Christ.

DOES THE CHURCH. DO ALL SHE CAN FOE OIERIST ? The undeveloped resources of the Church, if brought into. activity, would probably double the efficiency of the Church imme diately. One half of the membership is dormant, except in the very hest Churches. The apathy is fearful and scandalous, and misrepresents Christ even in His on house. One of the reasons for this state' of things is the want of the systematic organizatiou of our entire force. • In most of our churches there is no dis tinct field set apart for the women of the Church. They have to' obtrude thelr labors upon the Church, or do nothing. To remedy this evil some of our best Christian women in Philadelphia and Other places have united in foiming societies intended to aid the pas-' VA- in the work of the systematic visitation of the poor, the needy, the sinful. The rea sons for organization fbr such a purpose are numerous, and apparent everywhere, and we need not' dwell upon , them. Our wo men, in many places, feel that they must work for Christ, and that if they do not they will lose their own souls. They know they have povier which is not well directed, and would be glad to be placed' in such re lationa to the Church and the world that they. can satisfy their own longings. Besides the women there are many other members of the Church who are mere 'camp followers. They never bear arms, never go into, battle. They are consumers and, not proucers, and are an incumbrance and not a help. Until these men can be waked up, and put into the field, we must suffer from their weight and bad example. It should be a matter of earnest consultation between the pastors and their most faithful advisers, what means they can employ to get every man to work. We have studied with great interest the causes of backsliding after great revivals, and we have seen the work go on is this wise : During a revival only a part of the mem-, bers do anything, and hence, it often hap pens that some ,grow cold while others are seeking Christ. Many are brought into the Church, and never put to work at all. They are adjudged to classes—sometimes not even that much is done—after that no distinct duty is assigned them; they find themselves useless appendages, and after a while the preacher scolds them for unfaithfulness, and they leave. Often an injurious and absurd' fear lest we tax the young converts too much leads us - , to neglect them almost en tirely. ,If they have means we do not ask them to,give for fear of offending them; if they have talents, we allow them to be, quietly hUried.: Many a revival wherein hundred ,accessions have been reported is, soon diesipate.d,"„and scarcely anything can . be, found of its „remains. That some .cruel,, Criminal neglect of these newly converted; souls is the cause in far too many instances, we have no, doubt.' ,If these lambs were, watched over with,due care, they would not stray away., The utter worthleseness, many classleaders is aosnost painful obstacle in the way of the Church. We. speak, Of; course, of, four own, Church. The dead. dea r , cons, and, elders of other churches fully, match our leaders. If we had for leaders men who longed for souls who would be most watchful , shop, herd;, over tho,se„conanaitted to their care, what a power they, would be": Here: is a man to whom the pastor entrusts the special care of from twelve to twenty souls. What 4 work is this for .11:riy man filled with the love of Christ! He is the leader, the ex emplar, the faithful friend, the loving 'coun sellor. ,Re is to drill, these like a captain ' would .a company. Many an army has been defeated through the, negligence, or ineffi- Ciency, or cowardice of a single, captain Our Church organization is admirable if we would only adhere to it. The Minister, should drill the leaders, should fearlessly change thein , or dismiss them and ;he e hos men or women`, who would make goOd, leaders he. should trust them with this high, commission. ~We hear,some talk as though ,our •class meetings were 'obsolete, or as though they deserved to be discontinued. We would re gard,this will an irreparable' evil, fatal , both , to our piety, and' efficiency as a ,Church.i What would, be thought of a general who, on the ,field of battle would order that,his captains and lieutenants should be dismissed, and that the , colonels should :comMand r watch over, maneouvre and lead to the charge the whole regim.ent:witiont a•single , subor, clinate to assist them? Instead of giving up' our classes should organize them more closely; insist upon attendance' more urgent ly, endeavor to obtain the services ,of suita ble leaders, and put our ,whole force into the field in the 'highest stat,e of'efficiency:. Many a church is,only a mob, not an army. Some ministers have 'great zeal in revivals; but no sill, in organization.; they, gather, in the crowd and leave.them, demoralized. God will hold , us responsible if we let poor souls backslide for want of work.—We must attend to the work of organization, and keep, every department of, our work in a state,of the utmost, activity and efficiency. Our Undeveloped resources would, if pro perly employed, soon be brought into active, service, and the whole field would be swept by revival power. Our force of a million gives us probaVy, not more than five hurl, dyed ;thousand who ; work at all, and not, more than half of this number who are filled with zeal, : for the salvation of souls. Oh that. God would, help us •to devise means to induce• every member to work for Christ Central Christian Advocate. , LUTHER, AT ROME. 'ln the, close of the reign of 3:alias,. Luther visited Rome. The poor monk:worn with penances and heavy toil, was sent upon some business connected with his convent; to the Papal , court. He crossed the Alps full of faith, and stirred by, a strong excite ment. lie was about to enter , the classic land, with whose poets and historians he had long been familiar; he was to tread the, sacred soil of Virgil, Cicero, and Livy. But, more than this, he saw before him, rising in dim majesty, the Holy City of , that Church, from whose faith he had never yet ventured to depart, whose supreme head was still to. ,him almost the representative of Deity, and whose princes and dignitaries he had, ever invested with an apostolic purity and grace. Rome, hallowed, by the sufferings of the martyrs, filled with relics, and redolent with the piety of, ages, the untutored ,monk still, supposed a scene of heavenly rest. ".Hail, : holy Rome I" he exclaimed, as its distant towers first met his eyes. His poetic dream was soon dispelled. Scarce had he entered Italy when he was shocked and terrified by the luxury and license of the convents, and the open depravity of the, priesthood.' He fell sick with sorrow, and shame. He conk plained that the very air of Italy seemed deadly and pestilential. But he wandered on, feeble and sad, until, he ,reached the,Holy City, and there, amid the mOckery of his• fellow-monks, and the blasphemies of the impious clergy, performed. with honest su perstition the minute ceremonial of the Church. Of all the pilgrims to that, dese crated shrine none was so devout as Luther. He was deterrained,,he said, to escape ,the pains of purgatory and win a plenarff, dulgence; he dragged his frail form on his knees up ; the painful ascent of the Holy Stairs, while ever in his ears resounded, the cry " The just shall live by faith." He •heard , with horror that the head of the Church was a, monster stained with vice; that the eardinal4 were worse than their master; the priests, mocking unbelievers; and fled, heart-broken, back to his German cell.—Barper's Magazine. PULPIT PEDANTRY. There are occasions in the pulpit when some allusion to the original of a text, seems indispensable to even a popular exposition of a passage. And yet, for the preacher to say thiki- text reads so in Hebrew, or so in Greek, iounds to most hearers as pedantic. Perhaps people' have become hypercritical and hypersensitive on this point. There is undoubtedly a happy medium; and there are ministers who can refer to the original, with 'such`'simplicity and delicacy, as to avoid , even the appearance of empiricism, and at the seine tfine, without weakening the con fidence of the` epiiii:Eion reader in the English iersfonfof the'Bible: " ' `"the Bxv.

Of course, I do not mean to say that all or even a large number of foreign residents in China and Japan are lawless or violent—on the contrary, the majority of them are intelli g ent, Christian people, wbose.influence is for good ; but I mean to say just this, that there is a class here who forget that a gentleman is such always, even to ward "niggers" and heathen, and is just and gentle in his words and deeds, especially so to wards those beneath_ him, and those who forget this bring reproach upon all foreign residents here. GIANTS OP OLDEN TIMES. in' one of ' his recent lectures, Professor Silliman, the, younger, alluded to the dis covery of an enormous lizard, of eighty feet. From this the Prefessor inferred, that as no living specimen 'of such magnitude has been found, that the species which it represents has degenerated.- The verity of his position he rather singularly endeavored to enforce by. air allusion 'to the well-known existence of giants of olden times. The following list is the data on Which this singular hypothe sis is based : • The glint exhibited at' Rouen, in 1530, the professor says, measured nearly 18 feet. Gorapius , saw a girl that was 20 feet high. The giani Galabra, brought from Arabia to Rome, under Claudius Caesar was 10 feet Fannum, who lived in the time of Eugene 11, measured 112 feet. The Chevalier Scrog, in his voyage to the Peak Teneriffe, found-in one of the caverns of that , mountain the head of Gunich, who had 60 teeth, and was not ; less than 15 feet high. The giant , Farrogus, slain by Orlando, nephew of Charlemagne, was 28 feet high. In 1814, near St. Germain, was found the tomb of the giant Isorent, who was not less than 30 feet high. In 1590, near Rouen, was found a skele ton whose skull held a. bushel of corn, and whose body must have been 18 feet high. The giant Bacart was 22 feet high ; his thigh' bOnes were found in 1803, near the river Moderi. ::1n 1823, near the castle in Dauphine, a tomb whs found 80 feet long, 36 wide, and 8. high, on which was cut, on gray stone, these. words :—" Keutolochus Rex." The skeleton was found entire-252 feet long, 10 feet across the shoulders, and 5 feet from the breast-bone to the back. Near Palermo, in Sicily, in 1516, was found 'the skeleton of a giant 30 feet high, and in 1550, another, 35 feet long. We have no doubt that there were "giants in those days," and the past, perhaps, is more .prolific, in producing them than the present. But then history of giants during the olden time was not more remarkable than thatsof dwarfs, some of whom v, ere even smaller-than the Thumbs and Nutts of our time. —A' 'keen,' earnest Quaker says : " I once crossed the mountainsof 'Pennsylvania in a stage. Three 'or Sour of us became engaged in an earnest conversation oil the temperan ee, q uestion. One passenger did not join with us. He was coarse and buriy in appearance, but was well dressed. He was restless and uneasy, and after shifting and twisting kir a tine, he could endure it no longer. Assuming .a magisterial air, and a com manding tone, he thus delivered himself: Gentle men, I wish you to understand that I am a liquor-seller. But I would have you know that I keep a respectable house. I don't sell to drunkards, nor allow loafers to lounge about my premises. I sell to respectable people, and to no others.'" Said the Quaker in reply : C. Friend, that is 'the inest ;damning part of thy business. If then -would'st sell only to drunkards and loaf ers, and thus help to• kill off the race, we would soon reach an end. .But you take the unfallen and maspeeting, and make drunkards of them. And when their, character and money are gone, you kick them out and hand them over to the low groggeries.—. R. Snyder, in the Earnest Christian.
