Miller. This simple attitude suffers no dimâ€" inution in its transfer from Old Testaâ€" ment to New Testament times. The entrance to the dwelling in those olden times was absolutely one, like a sheepfold formed out of a cave. The porâ€" ter controlled the establishmentâ€"the most important and best trusted serâ€" vant of all. The Master says, "I am the door," the living, disertminating, abeclute One. We are underâ€"porters and we are commaandâ€" ed to watch, What shall we let in at the portal of the soul? Truth in its purity, love in its simplicity, courage in its energy, hope with its lampâ€" all that makes for richteousness, The Master gives every man his work and he commands the porter to watch (Mark xitl, 34). _ M iz With redoubled care we must watch what cometh out. The most potent influence on earth is always a personal thing. Indeed, we only exist as persons, and we only know ourselvesa and know one another as perâ€" sons. "Right" and "wrong" have no proâ€" rr meaning except in regard to the relaâ€" ions between gersons. Spiritual forees are functions of personality. The awful power which aways the stars in their eourses is blind and helpless compared with the attraction of noble example and the energy of selfâ€"forgetful love. The Porter. He is in danger of being forgotten. He comes before us now as the man who puts checks on our luggage, or the man who carries parcels. The original porter was different. I recall a scene of my boyhood. I first entered the Bay of Smyrna as a cabin boy. One day 1 was in Asia sent ashore to deliver a parcel at the residence of a native merâ€" chant far uptown, and when I reached the place I made practical acquaintance with the porter, a wellâ€"dressed, comfortâ€" ableâ€"looking man, who was impressed with the dignity of his office. I took in the scene. Here was the man and his dwelling, a comfortable bunk on the side of the portal was a part of the equipment; here he slept by night and watched by day. This portal was the only entrance. If a pail of ashes was taken out it did not escape his notice; if a basket of fruit went in for the master‘s table, it passed under the eye of the porter. All ingress and egress of persons and things passed with the apâ€" proval of the porter. _ _ p > _ I have read a few books in my day; I have had no such help to realize a scene so vividly as that one visit afforded me. When we reflect and consider careâ€" fully, we may perhaps discover the peoâ€" mwho have exerted the most decisive uence for good in our own lives, and the way in which they have exercised it. This will give us the clue to the secret of moul influence. Probably we shall that our characters received their bent and stamp through the impressions made upon us at different times by a gu limited number of men and women. bably they nave affected us not by their special gifts or abilities, but sim ly by their sheer goodmess.

The twilight is fast fading away and the advancing shades of night are veilâ€" ing in gloom and obscurity both the heaving wators of the groat ocean and the long sween of the ironâ€"bound rock girt coast with its ecarped and buttresâ€" sed ramparts, which for ages past have stayed her proud waves, and have .ith stood her most furious onslaughts. And now from time to time the line of the distant horizon is dimply lighted up with an intermittent lambent ;fiow, at first but faint and sharowy but ever gatherâ€" ing in intensity and volume until at each momentarily recurring flash the heavens are ilumined in a flood of shimmering, coruscating fire and the glittering, tosâ€" sing waves sparkle and gleam as though the great deep were a saplendent oc>an of molten silver. And now the radiart and august spectacle is eolemn and alâ€" together majestic; as though the very heavens were openingâ€"and some of those who in their childhood had the rare privilege of witnessing this vivid and lusâ€" trouws display wondered that chey could not see the angels flying to and fro in the courts of heaven; as though _ a glimpse of the bright spirit world were opened to our gaze; as though the laws of nature were for a moment suspend»d and a supernatural brightness _ from realm beyonds , beyond the ether were irradiating the earth. For the firmament appears to open. and from the horizon far up towarda the zenith itself the exâ€" ;anse of space is flaching in a flood of ight, the momentarily recast‘ag interâ€" vals of darkness only eahancing _ the splendour and the beauty of the display. And then the flashes be>ane more and more intermittent, until at length the last faint gleam fades away and night once more asserts her sway. But though in the flights cof fancy this wondrous and rarely _ witnessed pageant may have reminded some of that Great Day when the heavens »hall be opened, yet that glorious Uay will be inâ€" finitely and supremely mora majestic and more tranecendent. _ For He who "made the worlds," who n‘:nat=an ceniurâ€" ies ago came to this earth in humility to suffer the chastisement 4ue to those who will accept Him as their Redeoser will then come in the Glory of His Majâ€" esty, attended by angel and Archangel, and by the shining heirarchy of heaven. A Pageant of the Skies. (By A Banker). Of all the varied manifestations of Nature‘s grandeur, of her power, and of her wrath, perhaps with the one exâ€" ception of an outburst of the imprisoned fires ever tumultuously raging beneath the crust of the earth, the numeroas developments of that eubtile energyâ€" electricity, are the most aweâ€"inspiring and the most beautiful. And of all these diversified pageants doubtless the most transcendently stiblime is a great Jisâ€" play of the diffused electricity known as sheet lightning. s £ Heâ€"HN you refuse me 1 shall blow out my grains.

Because they preferred other gods. _ There were people in Otâ€" tawa who had made a god of money and were willing to become its servants and toil for its sake. They were becomâ€" ing old before their time, in order that they might pile up heaps of gold and silver. _ They were making themselves small, were debasing their souls through worshipping silver and gold. Giold and silver and pennies were very vseful, but how many people there were that would not put them to use. Money did much goodâ€"built churches, sent out missionaries to heathen landsâ€"but it was often the rival of Jesus Christ and drove Him from His rightful throne in the human heart. The great point was that it was for their sakes that Jesus Christ wished to let men see His loveliness. It was for thei: salvation that the Son of man cains down on earth to live. Heaven How good, how gracious was the life of Jesus Christ. See what moral courâ€" agze he had. They admired the beauty of the ivy but did they not also admire th« strength of the oak about which it clings? In the life of Jesus they saw entwined all tenderness, all strength. Why should they love Jesus Christ? They should love Him because of His loveliness,. Jesus was the one perfect flcver of the human race. _ He was perfectly lovely in the best sense of thos : words. He grew up perfectly spotâ€" less in beauty in spite of all the trials that came upon Him, and continued so throughout His whole life altogether lovely. The purer their love the more they would desire to have some friend or animal to love that they might serve the objects of their affections and make the world happier for them. The little girl who put her arms around her mothâ€" er‘s neck and said, "Mother, I want to help you," proved she loved her mother by willingly giving up her play in order to help the mother. As they loved fathâ€" er or mother or brother or sister, so they ought to love Jesus Christ because Ho was their unseen friend. ° What was it to love Christ? Was it that they might have Him in their posâ€" session? When they said they loved Jesus they desired to make themselves His rather than to have Him become theirs. They could have no love for a human being or ever for an animal if they only desired that person or animal for themselves. _ No boy loves an animal or a human being who simply wants to make it his own and not that he might care for it. came a contagion to our souls.

D. M. Ramsay, D. D., in Doâ€" minion Presbyterian.) "He saith unto him the third time, ‘Simon Barjonas, lovest thou met?‘"â€" John xxi. 17. Some people said it was impossible to love Jesus Christ without seeing Him. But if He lived, He could be loved, for it was possible to love an unseen friend. They could read Christ‘s word and learn o€ His ways. Why couldn‘t they love Him? John Boyd, a Colored Man, Sent for Trial at Toronto.

If this projeet is carried out and the Niagaraâ€"St. Catharâ€" ines line is built, the company will have connection with practically every village in the district. The road from St. Cathâ€" arines to Fonthill has been completed and extensions will be built to Pelham and Welland.
