*J. . Xt JWCTELXJ, General Insurance and Keal Kstate Agent, l owanda, A^a. "Who Shall Roll Away the Stone?" That which weeping ones were saying, Eighteen hundred years ago, We, the same weak faith betraying, Say in our sad hearts of woe, Looking at some troublo lying In the dark and dread unknown, We, too, often ask with sighing, "Who shall roll away the stone?" Thus with care our spirits crushing, W1 ten they might from care be free, And in joyous songs outgusliiug, Rise in rapture, Lord, to thee. For, before the way was ended, Oft we're had with joy to own Angels have from heaven descended And have rolled away the stone. Many a storm cloud sweeping o'er us, Never pours on us its rain; Many a grief we see before us Never comes to cause us pain, Oftentimes the feared "to-morrow" Sunshine comes—the cloud has flown ! As not then in foolish sorrow, "Who shall*roll away the stone?" Burden not thy sonl with sadness; Make a wiser, better choice; Drink the wine of life with gladness; God doth bid thee, man "rejoice!" In to day's bright sunlight basking, Leave to-morrow's cares alone; Spoill not present joys by asking, "Who shall roll away the stone?" "There was a strife among them which should be counted the greatest." This "strife" was not confined to that period. Our age is laden with decorations, certifi cates, and double-class honors; there is an earnest thronging towards the chief seats. It may be well for us to study the teachings of Jesus upon this subject, to consider the principle which regulates authority and position in his Church. He said "Except ye be converted" —take an opposite course—ye cannot so much as enter the kingdom of Heaven, much less have any position in it. We thus learn that the conquest of self is the indispens able condition, not only of authority in the Church, but of actual entrance into it. In this, as in all else, Christ is the example. "He made himself of no reputation," "he humbled himself;" he washed the disci ples feet. The true Christain is that man in whom the dominion of self is broken; so long as the fraction is held to be great er than the whole, the heart is at a great distance from Jesus, Tnis principle has important applications in all the relations of life. The man who works only for himself may be a theologian, but he is not a Christain: he is not working on the line which terminates in the cross; the spirit of self-crucifixtiou is not iu him. Christ will excuse ignorance and pity weakness, but he cannot endure vanity. ''Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart.', — Parker. If a Christian goes to the theatre, he must take Christ with him. If he cauuot take Christ with him' lie must uot go. If he leaves Christ at the door, he is 110 lon er a Christian. If diamonds are polished only by their own dust, why should you complain that God is tempting you by such throis and lacerations and wasting of life as are nec essary?—Bushnell It would be most lamentable ifthc good things of the world were rendered either more valuable or more lasting: for, des picable as they already are, too many are found eager to purchase them, even at the price of their souls.— Colton. Lore is boundless. Love reaches with in the prison walls; and even pitying re members the outcast and the depraved. The sunbeams falling on the floor of the hovel of sin are as pure as those of the sanctuary.— Rev. D. 0. Mears. The laws of nature are not, as modern naturalists seem to suppose, iron chains by which the living God, so to say, is bound hand and foot; but elastic cords, rather, which He can lengthen or shorten at is Hsovereign will.— Philip Schaf. it is 110$ falling into the water but ly ing in the water that drowns. It is not falling into sin, but lying in sin, that de stroys the soul. If siu and thy heart are two, Christ and thy heart are one.— Thomas Brooks. TMUIVBIJE.RIVS GUIDE. PA. AND N. Y. B. B.
