Under the Cross. Strong was the fearful temptation that tried me. Tower from the Strong One unasked was denied me, Yet, in the strength of the promise, I hide me Under the cross. There shall the cords of my anguish be broken, There shall the sweet words of pardon be spoken, I of heavens foVor shall get a fresh token Under the cross. Justice e'en now for my doom is appealing. Hark! rroni the white throne the sen ence ispoallng, Strike not, but spare, while the sinner is kneeling Under the cross. Tears of contrition that sentence is bringing: Yet the full life-tide of joy is uprising. Oil! can ye wonder now that 1 am singing Under the cross. True, when the light of the morrow is dawning, Tears may return, and the foe'o subtle fawning; Yet I shall ever be safe as this morning Under the cross. Jesus, I think of my weakness with weeping; Be Thine own power the sheltered one keeping. Shield me; hut, oh, let me never he sleeping Under the cross. Keep me from sinning O God, I implore Thee; Give ot Thy Btrcngth to the weak one before Thee. Jesus, my Jesus, J love—l adore Thee Under the cross. There would I be vr tile the Icvc-liglit is gle lining Out of Thine eyes, and the life-blood is streaming Over my conscience. Oh! who could he dreaming Under the cross. There would I be when earth's comforts are flying; There, when the young heart forgets aU its sighing, Keep me, O Holy One, living or dying, Under the cross. Sittings.

If 011 a cold dark night you sec a man picking his way up a rickety pairof stairs where one of God's poor children live, with a heavy basket on his arm, you need not stop him to ask him if he loves the Lord. Whether he is an Orthodox, a Catholic, or a heathen, he is lying up a treasure in heaven.— Gold.n liule. Let dissolution come when it will, it can do the Christian no harm, for it will be but a passage out of pi ison into a pal ace; out of a sea of trouble into a haven of rest; out of a crowd of enemies to an innumerable company of true, loving, and faithful friends, out of shame, reproach and contempt, into exceeding great and eternal glory.- Bunyan. There are a great many men who follow Christ in the book. They follow Christ in the creed: but lie is not in the creed. He is among the poor and the obscure ; He is among mcu; He lives in them ; and he that followcth Christ must follow him by doing good unto the least and the greatest of these that need Ilim as unto Christ.— Christian Union.
