What a record for ail time and eternity
was made by Gellacius, the play actor, in
the theatze at Heliopol 8, A bur.escue of
Christianity was put upon the stage. In de.
rigion of the ordinance of baptism a bath-
tub filled with waler was put upon the stage,
and another actor, in awful
dipped Gellacius, pronouncing over him the
words, “I baptize thee in the name of the
Father, of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.”
But eoming forth from the burlesque bap
tism he looked changed and was changed,
and he eried out, “I am a Christian. I will
die as a Christiae.” Though he was dragged
out and stoned to death, they could not
drown the testimony made under such awful
circumstances: ‘I am a Christian. I will
die as a Chirstian.”’ “Let the redeemed of
the Lord say so.”
What confirmation would come if all who
bad answers to pravers would speak out; if
all merchants in tight places because of hard
times would tell how in response to sappli-
eation they got the money to pay the nots;
if ail farmers in time of drought would tell
how in answer to prayer the rain came just
in time to save the crop: if all parents who
prayed for a wandering son to come homo»
would tell how not long after they heard
the boy's hand on the latch of the front
door.
Samuel Hick, aun English Methodist
preacher, solicited ald for West India mis
gions from a rich miser and failed, Then
the minister dropped on his knees, and the
miser said, **I will gives thee a guines i!
sthou wilt give over.” But the minist ir con-~
tinued to pray. until tie miser said, “I will
give thes two guineas jf thou wilt
s over,’ Then the money was

Nothing can stand before prayer. An infidel
oame into a Bible class to ask puzziing ques-
tions. Many of the neighbors cams in to
i hear the discussion. The infidel arose
and sald to the lender of the Bib'e
class, "1 hear you allow questiins
asked.” “Oh, ves," said the leader,
“but at the start let us kneel! down
and ask God to guide us," “On, no," said
the infidel,

will, of course submit to our rule, nud that
is always to begin with prayer.” The leader
knelt in prayer, and then arose and said to
the infidel, “Now you pray.” The infidel re.
plied, “I cannot pray, 1 have no God to
pray to Let me go! Let me go!"
spectators, who expected fun, found noth.
fog but overpowering solemnity, and a re-
vival started, and among the first who were
brought in was the infidel, That prayer did

There are many Christian workers in pul-

There are hundreds of ministers who have
axpresses any appreciation, They are afraid
of making him vain, The
panediction is propounesd they turn on their
heels and go out. Perhaps if was a subject
on which he hal put especial pains, H-
| sought for the right text, and then did his
best to pur the old thought nto some new
shave, Heo had praved that it might go to
the hearts of the people, He had added to
the argument the most vivid {Hlustrations ha

by it and resolved upon a higher life and
nobler purposes, Yet atl he hears is the
elank of the pew door, or the shufMing of

did not that man come up and say frankly,

some woman come up and say, I shall go
home to take up the burden of life more
cheerfully?” Why did not some professional
man come up and say: “Thank vou, dominie,
for that good advies? I will take it, God
blogs vou.” Why did they not tell him so?
I have known ministers, in the nervous reac.

a sermon with no seeming result, to go home

Butterworth In an article “How Long

It partly eclipsed for a time the new
star in the literary horizon on which all
eyes were fixed, The eriticism was dis
armed; the wonder grew: a fixed star
had appeared. But the mystery of the
poem is simply solved. Longfellow
