BETTER THAN CREEDS.
"Worship God by doing good
Works, not words; kind acts, not creeds.
He who loves God as he should
Makes his heart's love understood
Vj kind deeds.
Deeds ere powerful; mere words weak;
Battering at high heaven's door.
Let thy love by actions speak;
Wipe the tear from sorrow's cheek;
Clothe the poor.
Be it thine life's cares to smother.
And to brighten eyes now diia.
Kind deeds done to one another
God accepts as done, my brother,
Unto Him.
UNCHANGEABLE LOVE AND INEX
HAUSTIBLE GRACE.
"The love of Jesus, what It Is
None but Ills loved ones know.''
Ob! it is a precious thing in this ternpes
tuons world to wrap ourselves up in a sense
of II in unchangeable love, His inexhaustible
grace; to be able to meet every event with
"I know and believe the love lie has to me,"
and bo credit the apostle's assurance, ''all
things are for your sakes." Deeply sensible
of our undeservingness, as chief of sinners,
receiving all as grace, returning Him all
glory. Is it not His nature to bless? Has He
not in Jesus' human heart formed for Him
self, as it were, a receipt for the fullness of
love His love? If He has placed us in the
one whom He delights to bless, is it not that
precious ointment may descend ever to the
Beloved ? May we then cleave to the Be
loved of the Father, and get grace for graoe;
may we be resigned to our portion "all
spiritual blessings in Christ." What a proof
in Balaam, that all ainst be grace from begin
ning to end ? While the future glory of God's
people, and the future destruction of the na
tions of the world, even both were full in
view, his heart was bo cleaving to the dust,
that the former was nothing to him, while he
was refused regarding trie latter. Surely,
then, if chosen, it is grace; if chastened, it is
grace; if humbled, it is grace; if not revolt
ing, it is grace.
SUMMARY OF CHURCH NEWS.

drawn from the appointment, in consequence
of a letter he received from the Secretary of
the London Missionary Society. The letter
stated kindly but frankly, that the London
Society "cannot consent voluntarily to place
its missionaries under the new bishop, and
thus sanction a scheme which it regards as
objectionable, and contrary to an implied
pledge."
Rev. Elisha Whittlesey, a Congregational
minister in Waterbury, Connecticut, is about

ANCIENT AND MODERN DIVISIONS OF
TIME.
It is not generally known that, a little more
than a century ago, New Year's day was cele
brated on the 25lh of March throughout the
British dominions, including America.
The following enactments, adopted by Par
liament, entitled "An act regulating the Com
mencement oi tne x ear, and for eorreoting
the Calendar In use, were passed in the
twenty-fourth year of thereign of George II:
"I'kkamule. Whereas, the leal supputa-
tion of the year of our Lord acoordinz to
which the year beginneth on the 25th day of
March hath been found by experience to be
attended witu divers inconveniences, eto.
"juiaamenm. xhat throughout his Ma
jesty's dominions in Europe, Asia, Africa,
and America the Baid supputation, according
to which the year of our Lord beginneth on
the 25th day of March, shall not be made
uso of from and after the last day of De
cember, 1751; and that the 1st day of
January next following the said last day of
December shall bo reckoned, taken, deemed,
and accounted to be the first day of our Lord,
1 1 52, and so on from time to time. The first
day of January in every year which shall
happen in time to come shall be deemed and
reckoned the first day of the year," etc.
ine act further corrects the calendar thus:
"And that the natural dav next immedi
ately following the 2d day of September shnll
ue caned and accounted to be the 14 th dav of
September, omitting for that time only the
eleven intermediate nominal days of the
common calendar."
Wre believe that in the State of Rhode
Island to this day all farm and other leases
date from the day of the ancient New Year,
namely, the 25th of March.
rfae ancient divisions of the day differed
widely from the customs of our own time.
lhe Chaldeans, Syrians, Persians, and In
dians began the day at sunrise, and divided
tue day and night into four parts. The dm
Bion of the day into quarters was in use long
Let ore tne division into hours.
The Chinese, who begin their day at mid
night, and reckon to the midnight following,
divide the interval into twelve hours, each
equal to two of ours, and known by a name
and particular figure.
In Lgypt the day was divided into nneoual
hours. The clock invented by Ctesibius of
Alexandria, B. C. 259, was so contrived as to
lengthen or Bhorten the hours by the flowing
ox water.
The Greeks divided the natural day into
twelve hours a practise derived from the
Babylonians.
lhe Romans called the time between the
rising and the setting sun the natural day;
and the time in the twenty-four hours the
civil day. They began and ended their civil
day at midnight, and took this practice from
their ancient laws, and customs, and rites of
religion, in use long before they had any idea
ot tne divisions into Hours.
ice nrst Bun-dial seen at Komo was
brought from Catania, in Sicily, in the first
Punic war, as a part of the spoils of that
city; and, after this period, they divided the
day into twenty-four hours. An officer, called
accemw, at one time proclaimed the hours,
and at the bench of justice announced every
three hours the time of day.
In tne TurkiBh Empire time is reckoned by
ceitain portions ot tne natural day, reseui
bling the "watches" of the ancient Jews and
Romans. Publio clooks not being in use
these divisions of time are proclaimed from
the minarets.
The Cave or Adullam. At last we are
scrambling on foot down the steep circuitous
patn whicn leads to the entrance to Adullam,
The swords bought, Alee leaves our Bethle
hemite, with many threats and pointings to
the pistol?, in charge of the horses, and we
clamber along the narrow ledge leading to
the mouth of the cave. It is infinitely diffi
cult and rugged, and consists of a tortuous
path a few inches wide, which twines along a
jagged precipice rive Hundred feet high, on
the other parts of which there is not footing
lor a wild goat. It is dizzy work, but we
keep our eyea on the wall-like rock which
stretches above us, avoid looking into the
chasm below, and move slowly onwards, con
tinually using both hands and feet.
A huge blook of stone has fallen across the
broken pathway close to the entrance to the
cave. We clamber over it not without the
sort of help the Arab, give strangers at the
Pyramids, and consists of butting you from
behind, while half dislocating your shoulders
by tugs in front and ore at the opening to a
small grotto, which leads to a natural winding
gallery some thirty feet long. We pant and
squeeze through these, doffing most of our
clothing, on Alee'a advice, and find ourselves
at last in a noble natural chamber one hun
dred and twenty feet long, and from thirty
to forty-five feet wide.
This is the Cave of Adullam. The candles
we have brought with us are attached to the
walls, and the arches and stalactites of the
lofty roof are seen through the darkness,
irregular and dim. There is ample space
here and in the recesses round for several
hundred men; and when we consider its all
but impoKsible approaoh, the ease with which
it could be defended from the attack of what
would be an overwhelming f oroe elsewhere,
its comparative nearness to Bethlehem, and
weigh the evidence for and against the
aocuracy of the site, we come unanimously
to the conclusion that tradition is in this in
stance right. Here it must have been that
David longed for "the water of the well of
Bethlehem, which is by the gate," when the
village was garrisoned by the Philistines; and
along this cleft in the rock the three
"mighty men" came after they
had broke through the enemy s
lines, obtained the coveted water, and were
bringing it in triumph to their chief. There
are several narrow passages branehing out of
the great cave, one of which runs for forty
yards, and takes the explorer to a pit ten feet
deep, into which be must drop, and there
creep on all-fours, and finally crawl for
seventy yards more, when he reaches another
immense natural chamber. This ii the end
of the cave, so far as European travellers
know, though the Arabs insist that subterra
nean passages extend from it for miles, even
to Tekoa and Hebron. When we emerge into
the blessed sunlight again, dusty, hoated, and
out of breath, Alee spreads his snow-white
cloth and produces lunch. The Bedouins
watch us from a distance, and we eat, drink,
and smoke in a small cleft in the hill which
overlooks the Wady and the terrible defile
between Adullam and the outer world. All
the year Jlotu. d.
