Religious Hours and the Vain World.
An old man rose to pray. He was a de
vout and holy man, had been a minister,
though now laid aside from active duty, and
seemed singularly free from any of the influ
ences of worldly things. Even his occupa
tions were such as would tend to carry the
soul upward.
Itis prayer was most naturally for holiness
of heart and life ; his confessions sounded
strangely in. mine ears, unless he spoke for
others more than for himself. "We are too
*much led away and entangled by the vanities
and frivolities of the world ; our hearts are
too much engrossed by its cares and labors."
As I thought of those who joined in his
prayer, I could not see that they were very
much led away by what we term the vanities
of life; and on the other band, some of us
worked hard, incessantly, 'because we must.
There was rather the following of the injunc
tion, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do
it with thy might."
Is there not in the lives of many of us
this mistake ? That we regard only our
strictly religious (technically religious) du
ties as being really the service of God, and
often instead of going on all day with our
work, and rising higher at its close, we conic
back to prayer, as if we had through the day
been wandering. We are placed in the world
to live in the world, and to do our work here.
Therefore, we are just as much serving God
in the performance of our daily duties, as if
we spent the time in praise and prayer; nay,
if for praise and prayer we neglected the
plain duties of life.
We speak of helps in our religious life as
" means of grace," but our understanding of
the term is limited and imperfect. Ordina
rily we mean prayer, preaching, prayer
meetings, and the reading of the Bible. I
find a more comprehensive definition in a
sermon by a late writer. Added to these
opportunities of acting rightly and attempts
to do right, are means of grace—that is,
means of improvement and growth in holi
ness.
It is not so much the question what we do,
so that it be in 'the way of duty, as how we
do our work. We may labor in the kitchen
or the work-shop, the warehouse or the count
ing-room, the field or the vineyard; we may
be engrossed from early morning till late at
night, in the most endless of all tasks•—the
care or work of household ; and yet rise high
er and higher in spiritual life, if we make
these duties a means of grace. Even our
very temptations may be a means of improve
ment, if we resist them and grow stronger
by the resistance.
Our labor need not be a clog or a hinder
a.nce. God has placed us in the world in our
present position, and appointed our task, and
our very work is ennobled, if done for Rim.
There is a hymn very commonly quoted,
- which expresses the common belief :
"Fat- from my thoughts, vain world, begone,
Let my religious hours alone;
Fain would mine eyes my Savior see,
I wait a visit, Lord, from thee.'
We knew one, bug since, 7ho, lived near
to God, who would never singifiat hymn
-who always stopped and remained silent on
coming to that verse, and the reason given
was this : One hour is not more religious than
another, if the Christian be consecrated to
God. Nor will the soul truly consecrated
seek merely a visit from the Lord. The full
ness of the promise is, " We will dwell with
him and take up our abode with him."—
" Christ shall dwell in you."
The soul which has the continual presence
of the Savior, does not put aside the vain
world to receive a visit from the Lord, and
then turn back to the world. There may be
special hours of enjoyment and intimate com
munion, as there are hours of loving inter
course in an affe.ctionate family, but the spirit
of love is none the stronger. The father loves
his children when he is absent, and working
for them, and the children live in love, though
in their work or their studies they may be
separated from each other.
It is time that the Church give up the ne
cessity for the constant confession of coldness
and love of the world, giving occasion to the
wicked to say, What do ye more than wet.—
Truly, what do we, or what have we gained,
if week after week, month after month, year
after year, we make the same confessions
with no apparent progress. Where is our
trust in Him of whom it was said, " His
name shall be called Jesus, for he shall save
his people from their sins.—N. Y. Observer.
The Garment of Self-Righteousness.
Some years ago, a white man and an Indi
an were deeply convicted under the same ser
mon. The Indian almost immediately was
rejoicing in pardoning mercy, but the white
man was for a long time in great distress and
almost despair, until at last he too found
peace in God's forgiving love.
Some time afterwards, on meeting his In
dian brother, he asked him, " How was it
that I should be so long under conviction,
when you'found comfort so soon ?" "Oh,
brother," replied the Indian, "me tell you:
there come along a rich prince; he promise
to give you a new coat; you look at your coat
and say, don't know, my coat pretty good,
it will do a little longer.' lle then offer me
a new coat. I look at my old blanket; I say,
`This good for nothing ;' I fling it right away
and take the new coat. Just so, brother, you
try to make your old righteousness do for a
little while, you slow to give it up; but I, poor
Indian, had none; so I glad to take at once
the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ."

New Styles—Prices frontsso to $125. Extra
Charge of $5 for Hemmers.
4t35 Broadway, New York.
7:30 Chestnut street, Philadelphia.
These Machines sew from two spools, as purchased from
the store, requiring no re-winding of thread; they Hem,
Fell, Gather, and Stitch in a superior style, finishing each
seam by their own operation, without recourse to the
hand-needle, as is required by other machines. They will
do better and cheaper sewing than a seamstress can, even
if she works for one cent an hour, and are, unquestionably,
the best Machines in the market for family sowing, on ac
count of their simplicity, durability, ease of management,
and adaptation to all varieties of family sewing—executing
either heavy or fine work with equal facility, and without
special adjustment.
As evidence of the unquestioned superiority of their
Machines, the GROVER & BAWER SEWING MAMMY. COMPANY
beg leave to respectfully refer to the the following
TESTIMONIALS
"Having had one of Grover & Baker's Machines in my
family for nearly a year and a-half, I take pleasure in

which it is designed—Family Sewing."—Nrs. Joshua
Leavitt, wife of Rev. Dr. Leavitt, Editor of 2V: Y. Indepen

"I confess myself delighted with your Sewing Machine,
which has been in my family for many months. It has

is easily adapted to every variety of family sewing, by
simply changing the spools of thread."—Mrs. Elizabeth
Strickland, wife of Err. Dr. .Strickland, Editor of N. Y.
Christian Advocate.
"After trying several different good machines, I pre
ferred yours, on account of its simplicity, and the perfect
ease with which it is managed, as well as the strength and
durability of the seam. After long experience, I feel com
petent to speak in this manner, and to confidently recom
mend it for every variety of family sewing."--Mrs. E.
B. Spooner, wife of the ,Editor of Brooklyn Star.
" I have used a GROVER & BARER Sewing Machine for
two years, and have found it adapted to all kinds of fam
ily sewing, from Cambric to,Broadcloth. Garments have
been worn out without the giving way of a stitch. The
Machine is easily kept in order, and easily used."—Mrs.
A. B. Whipple, wife of Rev. Geo. Whipple, New York.

the past two years, and the ladies request me to give you

household sewing."—Robert Boorman, New York.
"For several months we have used Grover & Baker's

"I had a tent made in Melbourne, in 1853, in which
there were over three thousand yards of sewingdone with
one of Grover & Baker's Machines, and a single seam of that
has ontstood all the double seams sewed by sailors with a
needle and twine."
"If Homer could be called up from his murky hades, be
would sing the advent of Grover & Baker as a more be
nignant miracle of art than was ever Vulcan's smithy.
Ile would denounce midnight shirt-snaking as 'the direful.
spring of woes unnumbered.'"—Piof. North.
"I take pleasure in saying, that the Grover & Baker
Sewing Mischines have more than sustained my expecta
tion. After trying and returning others, I have three of
them in operation in my different places ,
and, after four
years' trial, have no fault to find."—.T. ll. Hammond, Sen

ten,' and never get out of fix."—john Erskine, Nashville,

perfectly satisfied that the work it does is the best and most
beautiful that ever was made."—Maggie Aimison, Nash
