They are plantation owners. Here we have in Honolulu an English Iron Foundry, employing over one hundred hands, and now making extensive improvements and enlargements. If the Reciprocity Treaty should be abrogated by an English embroglio isf treaty negotiations, the fires of the furnace would be put out and the trip hammer would cease to chime to the busy hum of industry and profit. We should imagine Englishmen and Germans would be the loudest in their advocacy of Reciprocity. Loss of the Bark Java.—We have met with one of the crew of this vessel, which was wrecked June 7th near Fox Islands in Bherings' Sea. She had taken four whales and was " trying out," when she was stove by a cake of ice. The crew escaped on board the bark Eliza, and subsequently distributed among the other ships. Our informant was taken to San Francisco on the Jennie Pitts. So far as we can learn, out of the whole company of sixty men left last year in the Arctic, only two have survived. These were two kanakas, one Hawaiian and one Tahitian, who were sheltered among the Indians. 89 {■(©l* Series, M U. RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 10 Elberfeld, Germany, > Aug. 21st, 1877. S You see I am still in Elberfeld. As I wrote you in my last, at this season of the year I find it far more pleasant to be comfortably and "coolly " settled than rushing around in hot cities. A splendid thunder storm, with abundant ruin, has cooled the air and lifted somewhat the heavy atmosphere which has hung over the city for some days past, and rendered every one exceedingly hot and tired. For a summer, this has, on the whole, been very cool and agreeable, and we have had really nothing to speak of in the way of heat till of late. I had always supposed a cty in the summer must be quite intolerable, but this German town, with its surroundings of fields and beautiful woods, orchards and gardens, is almost always fresh and cool. We are just through the week of anniversaries here, which correspond to our meeting of the American Board or the May meetings in England. Here they continue one whole week, from Sunday to Sunday,—several different services taking place each day. A large number of clergyman from all parts of Germany have been present, and the "crowds at some of the meetings have been tremendous. One unique feature, especially striking to an American, is the " Coffee Meetings." There have been a number of these. One of them 1 attended at " Vereins-haus," in Barmen. There must have been from 800 to 1000 persons present. Long tables were spread in the large hall and in the gallery. Nearly every seat was taken. Coffee and currant-bread " and butter in abundance "were served, and every one partook most heartily. Every now and then there was a speech from some clergyman, layman or missionary, when people would pause and give their attention. The gentlemen, if they were so inclined, would quietly smoke, and the ladies as quietly knit. It would take an Englishman, or an American, some time to accustom himself to these decidedly Teutonic usages. It is rather startling at least at a religious gathering, to see a dignified ecclesiastic take out his cigar and commence leisurely to puff away at it. But here they seem to think nothing at all of it, but regard it as the most natural thing in the world to �THE FRIEND, 90 do. And on Sundays, at one or two gatherings, it was just the same. But you will understand, these were rather the social and informal gatherings, and of course never in churches. There it was quite another thing. The singing of the great congregations with the large organ, was, something very fine, and every one joined. It was almost impossible to get a seat. There were all classes of people present, but none seemed to enjoy themselves more than the bright-laced 1877. NOVEMBER, Unterbarmen, General Church Conference.

Assembly In tbe small ball of the Evangelixriety House at Barmen. uradaj, Aug. 16th, 9a. in the Church at t m. This magnificent structure. We give a description of it in the words of another ; " Cathedrals have their individual characteristics as truly as their builders. The peculiarity of this one consists in having a kind of out-work of slender columns, arches, and inclosed niches, thrown like a vail of barred muslin over the front. In some places it nearly conceals the background of cathedral wall, apd holds the eye in its entanglement of beauty. Especially when the westering sun casts the shadows'of this projected out-work upon the main wall it seems doubled, and the real wall almost hidden. When one considers that this kind of work is carried up four hundred and sixty-six feet, the light, graceful, airy effect that is produced must be confessed to be indescribable. Into this delicate tracery crashed the shells and balls of the Germans in 1870. Its effects can be imagined. You can stand in one spot and count where thirty shells struck the spire. They tore into this slender drapery; they crashed through its gorgeous windows; they smote interior columns, leaving great ugly scars that time cannot heal. One made wild music in the organ, never intended by the builder; and on the night of August 25, the roof over the vast church took fire. Streams of melted copper poured down the gutters, and spires of flame leaped up to vie with the tallest spire of stone, man has ever erected. The flames ceased only when there was nothing more to burn. Still the French maintained a post of observation in the spire, and still the Germans rained their shells upon it. The very cross on the apex was hit, and saved from falling only The general effect is aiuch less than might be expected. A careless observer might hardly notice any effect of the bombardment. The open work let the shells pass in to the solid stone and out again. You see, far up, part of a battlenrent gone, " a pillar replaced by brick-work, and some light scantling where stone ought to be. To be sure, the roof is not yet replaced, but this is hardly noticeable from the ground, as the solid arches over the church were not affected by the destruction of the roof. The building teems with workmen, and soon most of tha marks of war will be seen only by bright new stones that take the place of those in- jured. " This magnificent structure has seen many perils nnd survived them all. It has been shaken by four earthquakes, struck by lightning, and more or less thrown down nine times—has been ravaged by fire five times—endured the Jacobin fury in 1793, tearing down two hundred and thirty-seven of the statues, and proposing to treat its lofty spire as they treated the column in the Place Vendome in Paris eighty years later. But it stands in such wondrous perfection as to make one see the propriety of comparing God's spiritual work to a temple. Begun long ago, it is not yet finished—room enough for new stones ; and none of it old. " it stands where the Celts once had a Druidical forest, and .offered human victims. The Romans built on the spot a temple to Hercules and Mars. One of the statues of the former still decorates the present building. Since 510 the site has been occupied by a Christian church. About 1015, one of those spasms of sacrisTCe seized the country, and from one to two thousand men toiled at the erection of this cathedral—not for pay but for the salvation of their souls. Grander than sculptured frieze, lofty column, grand facade, and pinnacled spire, is the fact connected with nearly all these old cathedrals, that men toiled at their deep foundations, cut the hard stone into beauty, and lifted it into its place for the good of their souls, for the joy of sacrifice. It sweetens much of the taint of blood that so deeply stains those ages, " It is hard at first to reconcile one's ideas of a church with the multitude of possible and impossible animals that these old builders scattered over their structures. You may stand either on the north or south side and count, without moving, over thirty huge animals, with heads of bulls, dogs, bats, gnome, and fiends, put on the most ir*o»nceivable bodies, and projecting two or three feet, to serve as ornaments and water-spouts. Some tear their jaws open with their hands, to let the water run out; others are doubled up with a perpetual belly-ache; others, again, have such Bn evident nausea, that a stream from the mouth is the most natural thing to be expected. They gruv leer, cock their heads one side, and setfced to roar with pain day and night, century by century. Gothic seems to be the right word to apply to this style. But these old builders believed that imps thronged the churches, so they set them to service, always on the outside—made by the Jightning-rpd. They say the build- them bearers of water—set them to do menial ing wr* struck by two hundred and fifty work. But that grim humor, that ran alshells. most wild in producing quaint images, could. ' �91 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1877.curb itself to carving the holy exaltation of an angel's face, or the tender sweetness of a child's. " Something is needed for variety, where such an immense number of human statues are introduced. Eighteen equestrian statues will be needed to fill the niches on the front. A single portal has fifteen life-size statues (of from two to five figures) twenty inches high, and so admirably done that the Scripture scenes they represent are recognizable at once ; besides ninety-six figures cut in basrelief. In addition to all this statue-work, the pedestals, canopies, little animals, not over three inches long, and arabesque work, fine as a worsted thread, are too wonderful for description. Nothing short of a study should be given to these grand results of human thought and toil. All the best work, thought, feeling, and love of centuries crystallized in :'iese glorious piles. What seems but a maze of meaningless marbles at first glance, marches out as the whole story of sin, redemption, and final glory, to him who patiently lingers to study and feel. These men were earnest, and full of the sublime gospel that they put into stone. Few in those ages could read the printed page ; but written in stone, the one object that towered toward heaven, the first the sun kissed in the morning, and the last on which he smiled at night, every untaught peasant could read " that sweet story of old." And because we have learned other languages, and have other pages to read, is no reason why we should be blind to what men felt in their hearts, slowly cut into stone, and set up to endure. There is often more power to stir feeling in a stone than in a page. Each truly holds, and yet utters what feeling was put into it. The very gates nnd stones of Jerusalem were precious to God and his people. So is every stone over which a human heart has brooded, till it has been warmed into life, and made to talce the heart's meaning. How much more where millions have been builded into shapes of beauty and power." P. S. The war still goes on at the East, the Russians are winning in the main. Everythtng is quiet in this part of Europe. It is impossible now to say, what will be the political state of affairs among the Great Powers, certainly it will be very strange, if the Russo-Turkish war is concluded without the assistance or cooperation of some other nations. It remains to be seen what course F. W. Damon. things will take. Capt. Gifford, of the American whaler Young Phenix, who befriended the survivors of the wrecked British emigrant ship Strathmore in the Pacific Ocean, is to receive, through Minister Pierrepont, a gold watch from them in recognition of the service rendered. Island Tourists in Oregon. In reading the journal of the Rev. Alexander Mackintosh, as published in the Ad' vertiser of Oct. 20ih, we were forcibly reminded of a trip, which we made to Oregon and California, in 1849, over twenty-eight years ago. Sketches of our visit were published in the Friend of that year, under the title of " A Trip from the Sandwich Islands, to Lower Oregon and Upper California." It was our privilege to go, as the guest of Capt. D. Wood, commanding the U. S. Store ship Massachusetts. This was the first propeller in the Pacific, having originally been built under (he special supervision of Ericson, the inventor. She was coveying U. S. troops to Oregon, from around Cape Horn. In the October number of the Friend, for 1849, we find our notice of Portland runs as follows, and we think our readers wil be interested in the contrast as here presented between Portland, in 1849 and 1877: PORTLAND, OREGON, " Portland. —Arrived at 1849. Portland about 12 o'clock last night, May 15, in company with Judge Bryant, the newly appointed Territorial Judge and Capt. Crosby. We were rowed in a small ship's boat from Vancouver, about twenty miles, by four Indians, and having a strong current against us, our progress was slow. On waking this morning, looked out upon the rising town of Portland, situated fourteen miles above the junction of the Williamettsf with the Columbia. The town is handsomely laid out on the east side of the fiver, and is well situated, having in the rear an extensive forest and beyond that forest, at the distance of fifteen or twenty miles, a beautiful farming country. The first settlement here was made in the autumn of 1845, by Capt. Crosby and Mr. Stark, the former, master, and the latter, supercargo of the barque Toxdon. Ttteir first building was a log-store, which is now standing; between twenty and thirty buildings have since been erected, and others are in progress. Thehouse built by Capt. Crosby is an excellent dwelling house, and cost 85,000, and at the present time the premises are valued at $10,000. The buildings, including store and a dwelling house, erected by Mr. Pettegrove are substantial, and do credit to the place. The number of inhabitants in Portland is now about one hundred. The site of the town is admirably selected, being well adapted to the landing and discharging of vessels. I find but one vessel in port, the O. C. Raymond, undergoing repairs, and belonging to Capt. Crosby. This vessel is engsged in the lumber trade with California, and must be doing a good business, enabling the owner to pay the master $300, the mate $200, and the seamen $100 per month."— Rev. S. C. Damon, Friend, One of the most hearty and efficient helpers at the Clear Lake Sunday School Assembly was Dr. E. Corwin, of Jacksonville, 111. He spent a fortnight at the Lake, throwing himself with characteristic enthusiasm into the work, preaching, lecturing, and taking a leading part in the daily normal class instruction.— Exchange paper. Oct. 15, 1845. PORTLAND, OREGON, IN 1877. Portland is on both banks of the Willamette River, a tributary of tbe Columbia, and is about 105 miles from Astoria ; it has a population of about 15,000 inhabitants. A ferry boat, which runs perpetually, connects East Portland with Portland proper. The whole country within range of our vision is bounded by a densely wooded circumference. Outside this circle tho snow-capped mountains called Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams and Mt. Jepberson, lift up their lofty heads, but they are only visible now and then, owing to the dense smoke caused by the burning woods. Through the centre of tbe circle flows the river Willamette. On tho right bank Portland rises as it were in terraces, the streets forming the meridians and parallels of latitude of tffe sphere. Every block ol buildings and of building land is most regularly laid out. One has only to remember the name of the latitudinal and meridian streets, and then the way is easily lound without tbe aid of compass, sextant, chronometer or policeman. The only difficulty one finds in navigation, is th rareity of the street names being posted upon tbe walls—but this no doubt is little felt by the citizens. Very few of tbe old residents seem to know the Btreets by tbeir names. People are directed by tbe presence or absence of a church, or of some government building. Front Street lies along the bank of tbe River Willamette, and goes from one end of the town to the other. In this street are situated all the principal wholesale business bouses, among which a resident of Honolulu can recognize some familiar names. Corbitt and Macleay, Allen and Lewis, McCrukcn & Co. tfUawmian Consul.) Jiinian & Co. The traffic busy street is ceaseless; it would astonish our quiet Honolulu merchants. They would, I should think, imagine that it was perpetually steamer day, and even this thought would give them but faint idea ol the business. In fact, there in very little difference between this street and also the next, which is called First Street, and any Thames Street, Blackwall, Lime St. or Broadway in tbe world. To give just one c»» ample of trade which I accidentally learned—tl c average number of eggs per week which aie brought into tbe wholesale house from tbe country is twenty thousand dozen, and not unfitquently the number daily is live thousand dozen ; not that this firm is solely in the egg line, seeing that in one year, the samo firm shipped to foreign parts eighteen cargoes of wheat valued at one million and a half dollars gold, and the money turned over in one year by this said firm was two and three-quarter millions of dollars. Throughout the length of Front Street can are constantly moving up and down. In First Street are the principal retail stores, and these are truly magnificent. However, there is not much difference between the merchandize, sold in these grand buildings and that in Honolulu either in force or quality. Then the public buildings, tbe Banks, the Custom House, tbe Post Office, tbe Prison are all of beautiful stone. There are lour banks: The British Columbia; Ladd and Tilton; First National Gold Bank; and the Oregon Saving's Bank—the last named deriving the stock principally from Scotland. Second and Third Streets, together with the streets wbieb intersect them, are taken up with stores, both wholesale and retail. Along Fourth Street runs tbe Railway wbicb extends about thirty miles into tbe country, as far as Grove. From tbis street until the town rises Into tbe hills, tbe streets are paved with wood, the sidewalks being also of wood. And now begins tbe prettiest and most picturesque part of tbe town. Every one seems to vie with his neighbor aa to who shall have the neatest and most beautiful residence. Tbe one acre lots are very often wholly taken up with one bouseand its surroundings. —ifto. A.

Although we read and re-read Mr. Cook's Lectures as published in the Boston Advertiser, yet we are exceedingly glad to welcome the same in a neatly and compactly printed volume, still damp from the printer's office. This book was printed on the last days of September, and we received a copy by the steamer's mnil, Oct. 18th, hence our readers* may infer that Honolulu is ftot very far away from Boston, the " Hub of the Universe." There is something exceedingly fresh and about the Lectures of Mr. Cook, inded '• to present the results of the freshest rnian, English nnd American scholarship on the most important and difficult topics concerning the relation of Religion and Science." Mr. Cook advances into the arena of discussion without apology and takes his stand beside Huxley, Tyndall, Darwin and the great army of doubters and sceptics, and says : " Come, now, let us reason together." He asks no favors, buAH ready to give and take as hard blows ns»sß nature of the discussion demands. We are glad there is one youthful David, with " sling and smooth stones," who fears not the Giants who have been stalking about frightening timid believers in Divine RevelaTion, Miracles, God and Immortality. The time has come when Christian Philosophers and Divines have no business to skulk and apologize ! It is equally refreshing to con- tezy template George Muller,—physically, mentally and spiritually—grandly endowed,— step upon the shores of America and declare : During fifty-two years I have known the Lord Jesus Christ, whenever I have believed, I have received. During the past fifty-two years I have received a thousand, yes, ten thousand answers to my prayers." Such declarations are truly Pauline : "I know in whom I have believed." We regard Muller, Cook and Moody as three great and mighty forces now operating upon the American mind and the world's spiritual agencies. A better time is coming, although the conflict will be sharp and fierce, even as that now witnessed on the bloody battle-field of Bulgaria and around Plevna. Victory is inscribed upon the Banner of Truth. Mr. Cook has already commenced another course of Lectures, and they will appear first in the Boston Advertiser and will be extensively copied in other papers. We commend them to the attention of our " readers. We would acknowledge papers for gratuitous distribution from Judge Judd and Mrs. Dickson. Also, from Mr. W. Wright, of Koloa, a valuable donation of books. NOVEMBER, 1877. H. M. Whitney, Esq.—The onward march A Man of One Idea. of improvement is removing certain old This man is the Rev.

To render intelligible an extract from a letter recently received from a correspondent in Liverpool, we republish the following item from our May number: Captain Cook's Vessel.—That the Brotherly Love, the vessel on board of which the great circumnavigator, and discoverer of New South Wales and Victoria, Captain Cook, served his time and obtained his certificate as mate, should be at this time, after the lapse of upwards of a century, going on her accustomed voyages, must appear wonderful to every one—but peculiarly interesting to the colonists of the continent whose unbounded resources, through Cook's scientific genius, were opened to the world. Yet, there is the fact, that only the other day, this fine old vessel, amidst the admiration of numbers who-witnessed her departure, left South Shields for one of the ports on the Baltic. With the exception of Nelson's ship, the Victory, there surely cannot be any vessel afloat of such historic interest. This grand old hulk ought, if not preserved as a great maritime relic by the British nation, to be floating in the New World, in the beautiful harbor of Port Jackson, at Sydney. Sydney Herald. — NOVEMBER. " 1 am no stranger to your excellent paper the Friend, which, through the kindness ot my friend Mr. Geo. Legge of Messrs. Balfour tt Williamson's Home, I generally get a look at every month. In a recent issue you give an extract from a Sydney paper regarding the ship Brotherly Love, rendered notable as being the vessel in which the famous Captain Cook learned his first rudiments of seamanship. Feeling interested in that statement, I wrote to the owner of the Brotherly Love, and sent him your paper, which he read with much satisfaction and returned, accompanied with a pleasant letter and a photograph of the good old ship. She stands in Lloyd's book thus: 'Jirotherly Love, bjig of Shields, built in Ipswich, 1764, 1214 tons; owner, James Young, South Shields.' 1 have much pleasure in enclosing the picture and a copy of Mr. Young's letter; they may prove interesting to some in your far away isle of the sea. The Sydney paper says something about the propriety of having the Brotherly Lore, sent out to Australia as a memento of Captain Cook. How would it do, after having spent her 113 years in their stormy latitudes to have her sailing in Hawaiian waters? Surely the place where the gallant navigator met with his untimely death, (permit me to repent the words of his excellent first lieutenant, King, on finishing his account of the tragedy— ' Thus perished our great, our honored commander'!) would be more in keeping with his memory than any spot in Australia. * * # # # " I send you a copy of the letter from Jas. owner of the Brotherly Love: Young, Esq., " ' Dear sir: lam much obliged by your sending me the Honolulu paper for perusal. The old ship still goes on her way rejoicing, in good order. Her qualities as a sea boat we may expect has saved her weathering many a storm. The only fear at sea with her is being run down by S. S. (screw ajaamers).' Martin .Robinson. ' "Yours, Sec., "6 Hope Place, Liverpool, Aug. 30, 1877." N. B.—We would acknowledge a photograph of the Brotherly Love, which may be seen in Whitney's book-store. (For tbe friend] Christian Sympathy. BY REV. D. DOLE. ■ Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." The law of Christ is love. "A new commandment I give you that ye love one another." " I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." Now the Lord Jesus, our great high priest, can and does sympathize in our infirmities. Sympathize is the very word used in the Greek. (Heb. 4:15). Peter exhorts, " Be ye all of otic mind, nym- 1877. pathizing one with another." (1 Pet. 3:8). When love is in exercise in the htorts of Christians, when every succeeding day brings a new experience of the faithfulness and loving kindness of their heavenly Father, and every succeeding night marks an advance in the pilgrimage towards the celestial city, then sympathy is easy. Then they that fear the Lord speuk often one to another. Then with the Psalmist, they delight to make the praise of their heavenly Father glorious, and to tell what he has done for their souls. (Ps. 66 : 2 and 16). Then with tender sympathy they find out the discouragements and perplexities, the conflicts and the triumphs, the sorrows and the joys of fellow pilgrims and strengthen them with kind words, rejoicing wilh them lhat rejoice and sharing the sorrows of the sorrowful. Thus do they bear one another's burden. But in seasons of declension, when worldliness invades the church, and the love of many waxes cold, and church members, speaking out of the abundance of the heart, cease to speak of heavenly things, and their prayers lose their fervency, and the word of Cod is no longer their study and meditation, and salvation seems of little importance, ilicn is Christian sympathy well nigh extinct. Young disciples are left to get along as best they may. If any of them are prisoners in doubting castle, no one knows it. Consequently there is no one to point them to the key of promise, by which they may unfasten the locks and make their escape. If any of them become discouraged through many temptations, there is no one to find it out, and to point them to the Lord Jesus, who was in like manner tempted, who tenderly sympathizes with all his tempted followers, and who succors all who apply to him. In this state of things it is not to-be expected that efforts will be made to win to Christ those who are without hope and without God in the world. There are none to say to those in the broad way as Moses said to his father-in-law, " Come with us, and we will do you good; fo»the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel." Does this language apply to the people of Honolulu ? A young merchant came to town, took a seat in one of the churches, and there he appeared regularly Sabbath after Sabbath for months, yet during all this time, no one bid him welcome; no one enquired after his spiritual condition. Was it strange that the conviction forced itself upon his mind that no one cared for his soul? To be able to exercise Christian sympathy one must be in sympathy with the Lord Jesus; must feel his constraining love, and to that influence. He that loves the ord Jesus will love his image wherever it is discovered; and more than this, he will love those whom the Lord Jesus loves, and for whom he died. This is Christian sympathy, and it is not a latent power. It manifests itself in kind words and in self-denying works. It is the spirit of Christ acted out; " and if any one have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Lield �FRIEND, TO THE PUBLIC! AaPy-BRTISBsMsBMrTB. . M.

M, C. A, The Hymn of Faith. BY MISS M. G. BRAINARD. 1 know not what will befall; Ood hangs a mist o'er my eyes. And before each step of my onward path He causes new scenes to rise; And each Joy that he sends me, comes As a glad and sweet surprise. I see not a step before me, As I tread out the days of the year, Bui.the past Is still in God's keeping, The futurehia mercy will clear; And what seems dark In the distance* May brighten as 1 draw near. For, perchance, the dreadful future Has less bitter than I think; The Lord may sweeten the waters Before I stoop to drink; Or If Marah must be Maralt, He will stand beside its brink. • It may be, he has waiting For the coming of my feet, Borne gift of such rare blessedness, Borne joy so strangely sweet. That my lips can only tremble With tbe thanks I cannot speak. Oh, blissful, peaceful ignorance. It's blessed not to know; It keeps me quiet In those arms Which will not let me go; And hushes my soul to rest On the bosom which loves me so. So I go on, not knowing— I would not if I might— I would rather walk with God in the dark Thanwalk alone In the light; I would rather walk with him by faith Than walk alone by sight. My heart shrinks back from trials Which tbe futuremay disclose; Yet I never had a sorrow But what the dear Lord chose; 80 I press back the coming tears. With the whispered words, "He knows." [Selected for the Friend.] Prayer. There is no real harm, but prayer will aid us to escape. There is no real good, but prayer will aid us to secure. There is no' burden in life, that prayer will not bring us new strength to bear. There is no temptation that ever assails us, but prayer will give us new power to resist. Prayer aids us in our perplexities, and gives us strength to rise above depression. There is no dark cloud lowering over the future, but prayer will enable us to look above and beyond it. Christian experience in all ages of the world testifies like the voice of many waters, that prayer intensifies every blessing and lightens every burden; it scatters our fears and transfigures our sorrows ; it invigorates in us all that is good, and weakens whatever is bad ; it helps to understand ourselves and God, and to live in joyous peace with both and in jubilant readiness for Heaven.— Congregationalist.

Round the decay as one pitying glance earthward, but gazing Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, always straight away in stolid unconcern. Tbe lone and level sands stretch far away. Such was man's idea of God till Jesus came. P. 15. Shbli.rt. Ozymaudias of Egypt. (From the Chriatian Union.] Christ's Answer to the Great Question. BY KEY. WASHINGTON GLADDEN. What is God ? men asked. The Stoics answered and said : God is the impersonal soul of the universe. God is everything, and everything is God. Matter is divine. The soul is but more etheral matter. Stones and mountains, trees and animals, men and women are but manifestations of the diety. The universe itself is only a period in the development of God. All things are as they are by inseperable necessity. Storms must blow on until they exhaust themselves, and if you are caught in them there can be nothing for you but to take your chance. The only support for life is a granite will. Indifference is religion. Pleasure is no good ; pain is no evil. The noblest man is he who dwells apart, in sublime apathy, unmoved by any change, unstirred by any passion t asking no assistance, wasting no sympathy, gazing from an iron earth toward a brazen . heaven. 1 have seen another picture. It is called Christus Consolator. Christ is seated on a throne. He is Lord of all. Before him are gathered the outcast and. miserable of the world. The aged man bent beneath the burden of a century, the sick man wasting with slow disease, the slave lifting hands heavy with chains, the mother weeping above her dead babe—all these are there ; and over all the Savior's hands are lifted and he is speaking heed and care and help for all. It is such a God men need—the God made maifest in Jesus Christ. Prayer into his heart is mightily real. There is shining hope amid the densest darkness since God is such a God. t In the States, especially in New England, the Y. M. C. Associations are accustomed to make, occasionally, a thorough canvass of of the more thickly populated districs with a view to arouse religious interest amongst all classes. Committees are appointed by the State Association, of some evangelist or clergyman assisted by three or four young men, who visit a certain number of towns, staying two or three days at each place and holding meetings morning, afternoon and evening, talking also personally with as many as possible. The hearty cooperation What is God f men asked again. The of the local ministry is always met with. Epicureans answered the question and said : These canvasses have been signally blessed gfleasure is the end of life. If animal indul- and thousands trace their first interest in meetings.
