Taken survey of what aro oalled the »dark agos of tho Church,” was there not an evident corrospondence betwoon tho shapo re- ligion assumod, and tho characteristica of tho paople,—n corrospondonce that was ud ‘the ro- Intion of tho wax to thesenl? Then, Italian ard wos at its highest point of sonsaous pro- dominance ; prayers and Emmeu, and, indoed, all worship, wero expressod in marblo and paint- hlg‘ in'music and fresco.

No one dares look baok aud af- Brm positively what might, could, would, or should have boen, for God only knows what was best and shall be best ; but, looking a8 far a8 our limited powers may, we cannot bub concludo {hat, had this single principlo of Jesus, that his Lingdom was not of this world, been wyitten in tho Church from the outset, the massaore of 8t Bartholomew would have beon kept from the pnfiu of history, and oven the story of Horvetus ond Calvin would bo _transferrod into one like that of ‘Jesus and Nicodowmus, where in tho Eflai ovening two hearts talked together about e way of eternnl life, Cbrist thrcatoned uo fagots, but the two souls communcd together and parted in love, for when the Bleesed One lny dead, ho came to tho tomb tolay his offerings and srorificos to a betng to whom he could no !tox(xlger offer tho words of reverence and grati- ude. Wo who are living to-day may look now at theso words which dofine the empire of Chriat, and learn thoir blossed import, for wo ara dull students indood if, from the torrifie past in which the Church has tried all forms of force and oruolty, tried it as & nntion, tried it as indi- viduals, wo cannot elaborate {ho moaning of the words that Christ's empire is not an image of tho statos that lay in such varlety around the cradlo and tomb of Christ, Tho ante-Roman Ohuroh warns us, for it battled with the barbpe- rinns instoad of toaching thom, Ib went forth 28 o bandit, nov a8 a h?u(l sohoolmaster.

The gallory of this age was constract- od on Lo bost scoustic priuciples, and & whispex might haye moro power than & tornado. T'he old Bcoteh lady's idess of eloquonas wero tho success tho pronchier had in kicking pulpits dowa, and ounding bibles to pieces. That was not tho idea of this time. lloavy, coarso, ponderous, physical was tho idoa of past ages; but the wotlmen who had prepared this ago had molded and fashioned strongth into tho forms of mol- ody. This age was nob the wild age.of the woods, nor the iron age of tho mines of early and vigorous thought ; but_ it was the wood pol- ighed, and the iron dvawn into musio wires, sot up in our homes, and waiting the touch of our mothers, and wives, and daughters. It was not the ago of tho mountain, nor of the cavern, but the ago of the firesido. ‘It was not mora original than other timos; indeed, was ‘mado up of the lnbors of sturdy, workmen who hiad swung the ax in the advance lino of the plonesr ntrugfile for clvilization ;. and mon who, n times which tried men's thoughts, hnd stoo calmly by th esmelting furnaces whore great thoughts wore purified. Dado up of thoeir la- bors, it had, however, outgrawn their tonoh, hay- ing o dolicacy that answered not bost the rough and vigorous blowa of tho workmen who shaped the justrument of its music, Out of mechanics wo hnd beens liftod 1nto art—out of hammer~ blows into wire-tonches. We were delicatol: Dbalanced—connected by subtle influences wit all that was about us, Over all the world the sensitive plant sprun| from the god, and looked tremulously tow: heaven. Who should move to most advantage among these delicate influences? who best lay s Dhand npon tho thrilling and far-resching wires; who best should tend tho plants that shruuk {rom a touch? Who but woman, whose stop w_nutllig;:c, whoso voice was goft, whoso hand wag gontle Chureh work was not essontially different from other swork; but it was more epiritunl, mora subtie. Woman's influonce hora we might sup- bose would be st its helght. She ocould ave little work in cutting down the forest, yet could nfterwards cheer the home cir- cle that gathered there, Thore was no work g0 dolicate, nono required §o much sonsitiveness ond tact as religiouns worlt, Tiwo-thirds of the membors of almost every church wore women, 1f theso facts woro ©o, woman_ought to Liava & larga share in Church work, 8ho wnsin tho ma- jority, had superior tact, and opportunitios which men had not, and ought to do & great denl. ‘Ilso history of the Church wns o declaration of woman's poesibillties. In every ago she had shown by oxcoptional cases, what & grand work sho wne capable of doiuk In _tho old economy, whero woman was largely under a soolal ban, 8he over and again domonstrated her capacity to oheer, to suffer, aud to lnbor, Thoy helped build tho tabernagle, and gave thelr sons to do battle for Israel. In Uhrist's time women hung on 11is tenchings, embraced 1im by faith, and heralded Hig toachinga to othors, Sinco thon every nfio hind givon some sigual illustration of womanly devotlon, and patience, and sorvice. In the datk ages, not only among the Waldonsos, but in Poland, Russls, Iungary, and Denmnrk, when priosts woro bo- Bottod, womon were tho missionarios keoping the fires of pure rollqion alive on the altars of the Church, Woman's labars, like tuniuon ot firo from volonnoos, bore and thero ehot through the rock-strata of the social ban, saylng what glawing Incandesoence thore was in tho unlyer- al swoman-heart—ready to break forth whenover and whorevor thore shonld bo openings for it to Xindle an evory hill of earth thio millonnial con- flagration of Lopo, and falth, and love, o bolicvod, o4 the teachor of childhood, the Quoon of tho home, sho bad ofton been the in- »Flror and moldor of the thoughts and encrgics that appeared afterward upon tha theatra of the world, lershed boen the Land behind the cnrtaln, moving the fizures that stood out as tho actors beforo tho world, and whoso names wore wiltten fu history. This waanot sll of woman's work, In this rge she was fittod for moro, Ter work in the Olnreh was the groat ques- tlon ,nowndays, Ilitherto it had boon indivect, uidden like the muelo of & slumbering piano now all things wore ready. T'ho causo of Chris domanded that the musio ghould sonnd forth the gong of labor, tho inspiration of seryice, ovoked by the open and confossed touch of woman. 'l{mn was place for woman in the =chools, the art-roome, in slores, in posta’ohambors; sud the church, 'tho #woctost, purcat placo of work on easth, oponed the wand eald to her, ' We ‘nounces tho othor.

But, though ochildron come not back, perhaps ho may retriove Dhis earthly fortuncs by ekill and managoment of his affairs, *No; all hope of tusis cut off; for ho i cursed with a disonse that precludes labor or dealing with bis follow-men. Novw, if ever, is the timo to dounbt if thero is any God; or, if there 19, that He is just; much more that Ho is morolful and kind, Job's wifo was deoidedly of this opinion; for she urges him to give up his nongensionl trust,~to “ourse God, nnd die." And surely glio lind the logio on hor side, 60 far as mon could see.

Ono of thoe flrst times I over proadhod without notes, a friend sald to me, **One '«uundvuntnxie is, that you baven't got the sermon, now itis pronched.” “Yes," T sald, ‘“but I'vo gotthe practice of going withont it.” 1 * A botanist mukes a fine collection of loaves, and flowors, and_grasses.

Those aro partly for tfxumnal_\'us‘ ut, in a sonse quite as_important, thoy are for the sake of what their effort may be on us in our training. That is, this life is not wholly an end {n iteolf : it has roference to a future; and one of the most important clemonts in ita value ls its power to fit us for that future. Now, in the cum%nmnnuhlpn the joya, and trials of this home, you Liave boen doveloping in love, sud pationce, and unselfishness, aud care, and helpfulnesr. By and by the home is broken.

The sense of smoll is worth more than =n flower. The e is worth more than a landscapo; and so love is worth more than any one thing or person loved. And partioularly does this appear when we reflect that, through the loss of the objeots of our love, we are being tratned into fitncss to have and hold th em forover, ¥ Third—And then, again, the life and joy of tho poet were no less blessings in their timo be- canse thoy are now takon awny, Yesterday was just o fair, 2nd bright, end” beautiful & day of Bunehine forall of the fact that it fell off at last into the darkness of night.
