MISCELLANY-
The Love of God.
Like a cradle, rocking, rcckic.
Silent, peaceful, to and fro ;
Like a niotlier'a sweet looks droppini;
Oil th little face telow,
llanos the Rreen earth, swinging, turning,
iJurlesB. noiseless , saf e and sljw
Falls the light of God's face bcnatng
Down and watching us below.
And as feeMe babes that suffer,
Tors and cry and will not rest.
Are the oucs the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best ;
So when we are weak a d wretched
By ourselves weighed down, distressed.
Then It 1 that God's creat patience
Holds U3 closest. loves us best.
O. great heart of God, whose loving
Cannot hindered be nor crossed
' Wiil not weary, will not even
In our death itself be lost.
' : Love divine ! of such great loviug. .
Only mothers know the cott
Cwst of love, which all love pacing.
Gave itself to save the lost.
Saxe Iloini.
The Baby's Prayer.
She knelt wit.i her sweet hands folded.
llr-r fair II; tie head bowed low ;
While dead vine t -uped the window.
And the earth was thic with snow.
Wi.hout.Eaith dumb with winter.
Within, hearts dumb with care ;
And up through the leadea silence
.itose softly the baby' prayer.
Bless a l whom I love, dear Father,
And help me be good, sl.e said ;
Then stirred by a euddeu fancy.
p.ie lifted the shining head.
Did she catch on the frozen maple
beiue hint of the April green,
Or life breath of the woodland blossom.
The drif .. of the snow between?
"The beautiful trees." she whispered,
"Where the orioles used to sing.
They are tired of the cold, white winter
Oh, help them to grow in spring ;
And the flowers that I loved to gather. :
Lord, bring tnem again in May;
SJThe dear tittle violets sleeping
Down iu the ground today."
Ah, earth n.ay be chill with snow flakes.
And hearts may be cold with care.
But wastes of a Irozen silence
Aie crossed by the baby's prayer ;
And lips that were dumb with sorrow
Iu jubilant hope may sing ;
For when earth is wrapped la winter
In the heart or the Lord 'lis SDillig.

CONTINUED
If what meu have giveu as God's ut
terances are true, ibeu the olu charge,
which has traveled down the years and
lodged in lugersoll'a mouth that God
teaches polygamy and murder, U true.
If reason 13 consulted and these p iss i-
es in the 0d Testameut are accepted
as the utterances of men only, the
charge falls instautly to the grouud,
and Christianity is iu a position to fight
back. The anaw r to the theory of in
spiration may be founi iu the life of
Christ. lie wa3 born in Nazareth, ou
the shores of Galilee. lie was raised
in a tillage uuder the teachings ot rub-
bis' whose lessons in customs and
religion were drawn from the rec
ords of the nation as found in the Old
Testament. Yet his entire ministry
was in protest agtiust the formalism,
the ceiemoi.iaIs, the caste dilu
tions, the hypocrisy, and the false
doctrines which were so constant. y
taught. Ilis life ami teachings wtie
utterly antagonistic to the interpreta
lions of the Serines and the Pharisees,
who taught the vtry doctrines in the
Old Testameut which today furnish In
Kersoll, and those of his kind, such a
rich source for argumentative outlaws
and noisy denunciation. Christ Baw
the ' detects long before they did, and
the realization of it was expressed in
that terrible "outburst beginning:
Woe unto you. Scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites, tor ye pay the tithe of mint,
anise and cumin, and have omitted the
weightier matters of the law, justice,
mercy, and fidelity. Blind guides thai
you are,' strainiug at gnats and svyal -1
wiog camels!" The doctrine of the
divinity of Christ and the doctrine of
the inspiration of the Bible' are by ro
means identical. It is not necessary to
believe one t bVlieve the other. Iu-
tiee4 the ltor uUitf U almost au(&
cient to destroy former. Wlat lie did
not teach it is not necessary for His
followers to teach."
AVIkmi this ii conceded there will be
anciid of 1 ex.-monger ing by loud de
baurs. Tin muck liuuter3 will cease
to pick over,, contradictions and hold a
fresh one up iu triumph whoever it is
discovered."-The men wi.o keep their
i eyes so closely upon a detail that they

torious thaiiow. -Omtradicjioas will
take their proper "places as jrroi s of
man and trutlf will Ukc its proper
place us one of the "ordered puise beats
of the Divine All." The vociferous
deciainiers who pass from platform to
platform as prosecuting attorney, with
a case against the Almighty, will tiiru
toother occupations, and Christianity
will stand upon a rock instead of the
tjuickKiud it seems to have chosen for
a battle-ground. Then the insects upon
the rose bud will not mnke one inveigh
against the roses.
III.
Mr. lugc-rtioll'd second great position
is that Christianity teaches murder and
polygamy and destroys the family re -iutious.
It does nothing of the kind.
If it did, murder and polygamy would

It is easy for Mr. Iugcroil U take a
passage trom the Old Testauieut order
ing the sack of a city, and then dwell pa
thetically upon the picture ot u babe
being torn from ' the thrilled and hap
py arms of a mother." This has been
done often enough before, though not
in such happy phrases as he employs
B 't there is no argument in the posi

what was done more thau a scored
centuries ago is no criticism of the
present. All the beauty and pathos ot
the home circle - centre in Christianity
today. What is more exquisite aud ten

a loviug mother and lispinp
wi;h slee;i-clogged . tongutTlfec simple
prayer which has been taught it
Mother love and religion are so en
wrapped as to be almost identical. The
child grows in years, and the wrinkles
gather upon ti e loving face that had
beamed above him. lie goes out into
the world, where there arc ambitions,
and hopes and disappointments and re
alizations, unrest and strife, the world
in which he is nnjust, and injustice
comes to him in turn, the world in
which childhood becomes a reminis
cence, as vague as the perfume of a
garden in the silence of a Summer
night, and the present grows hard and
metallic. And jet, though the year
carry him on and away, down devious
and narrow path?, the blessing of the
old tender time is ever with him. The
head which bent over him then has
grown gray; the voice has grown trem
u 011s and tired, the feet step wearily
and cautiously down the shadowy de
clivity, yet the undying love still sends
its me-sage for him to the heart of the
Undying Love, which, in the form of a
Galileau peasant, walked the straggling
streets of Nazareth nineteen centuries
ago. This is not born f a doctrine of
rapine. Mr. Ingersoll. It may be a su
persti'ion, but it is a beautiful one. It
may bo the scoff of intellectual, hard
ness, but it is tender, new-rtlleless. It
may be a doctrine of "folly and false
hood but it is a beautiful idyll. Men
may sneer al it, but when the sneer
come, one caunot help thinking of tbe
wild, haunting, despairing cry which
came from Alfred de Musset on bis4
death-bed :
"Poisone i from youth with the writ
ings of the eacyclopaa lists, I early im
bibed the sterile milkot impiety. Un
man pride, that god of insanity
egotism, closed my mouth to p
How miserable are those who
railed at that which can save a h
r'
haye much to expiate. Pardon, O
Christ, those who blaspheme! '
Voltaire, with a deep-searching
glance into the Great Beyond, pleads
prayerfully : - -
"O God, whom the world mUjudges,
and whom everything' declares; listen
to tbe last words that my "lips pro
nounce! If I have wandered, it was in
tei-king Thy law. My heart may go
astray, but it is full of Thee. I see
without alarm, eternity, appear; and I
cannot think that a God who has given
mo lite, that a God who has poured so
many blccsings on my days, will, now
that my days are done, torment me for
ever." Call and jsee fJu.
