It Is absolutely es- gentfal that we rige to the fecling that if God be anywhere Ha fe here, Our homes are built, in the hollow of Iis hand, our graves will be opened In I sight. As in its agony and dark- ness and cokinesa the modern heart has been jupelled along a path of Spirituallsni—a phi- Josophy that offers the communion of the liv- fng with the dead,~so n the coldness und athe- fsmn of tho present no doubt the religlons Jeaders must seck to bring back to man the panished Father. If here are God’s children ceriainly God tmust be also here, The Splrit- ualists Loll for want of evidence; they fail to findl prouf, but those who alllrm the presence of God have nll reuson on their slde, for If God be anywhere “He fs not far from cvery one of you An ever-present Father, and it Father of infinfte tove, these are the two jdess which forin the very pillars of Christianity, They came out boldly in the first century and gave ug John and Paul} came out in the seventeenth century and gave us the Guyons and the Ger- man ‘}flcllslu, n spirituailsm that _rolled onward to John and Charles Wesley. The beauty of this presence und love must be npon man, While some attrlbute the sue- cess of the two evangellsts of our day to the song of the one mud the earnstness of the other, It would be well to mark what ure the themes of the song und the basis of the carncst- ness. For there hus long been song in the Church and earnestness by the pulpit. ~ Much as 1 may doubt the value of many of the detmis in this Uospel work, ?'ct when tlie theme of the discourse and of the song s n Lord present i the paths of home and strect, present every- where, there is no_question nbout the truthful- nees and power of the theme of sermon and sonyr. 'This Lord of these evangelists {s making carth Hls dwelllng-place. e s In the moun- talus seeking the one. wandering soul: He s ust entering the cottage of the poor; e Is inocking nt the palace of the quecn now out in the highway where the humblest inay touch the divine garments, It fs this powerful theme fn the heurt of the music and the speech that moves the multitudes, There are perhaps no tiwo fdeas in all therealin of religlonniore puwer- ful than thefdea of o G6d un earth sud upon an errand of boundiess love, It s tho wctunl presence of such a Lopd on such a mission that pours fnto the hymus such beauty and lnto the dlscourse such pathos, Theldes overshadows the men. . 1 muat close my part of this line of reflee- tion.

That there 8 0 God of moral beauty do not doubt, and then go onward until his beauty be upun you uid within you, in your futelleet “to perceive ft and declare it, In your soul to enjoy it. But the God that may bo loved cannot be found by intellectunl Inquiry slone, The human heart must empty itselt ot its vanity and of its Tevity and fondness for ridivule, of ts trifling stylc, before it can sco on curth or fu sky the deéep footprints of tho Almighty, As there s u kind of soul that never fecls the significance of 1ife, nnd thut has no tear for the chumber of death, and no emotion for the sublime or grand things of the world, so there [s nstate of “mind that excludes the belug of God, Thoughtless- ness aud levity perhaps surpuss sclence fn the production of fmpiety. As nothing but o touhtful spirit will open to man the” gates of Yarning and show him the splendor ol the wurld's wisdom and art, so only ton calm and sncere and umble, reverential soul will the gates of the universe open and reveal the beauty ofthe Lord our God. —— CIHRIST’S MISSION.

The alsles were crowded with chairs, and had, there been an alarm of flre, this ltem would have been devoted to the loss of lfe, rather thanto the salvation of souls, The exerelses opened with several hymns by Mr. Bliss und the cholr, and aflne duet by Mr. Bliss and his wife, Prayers were offered by the Rev. Dr. Raymond and Mr. Moudy, and, after o collection to pay the $2,000 left dus on the church, the Evangellst commenced his sertnon, s text was taken from the 19th chapter of Luke and 10th verse, * For the Son of Mun is vome to scek and to save that which was lost.” “qn this short verse,' suld he, “one of the shortest {n the Bible, we find the whole mission of Christ fn this world, « When the Prince of Wales came to Amerlen the people wanted to kuow what be came for, and when he went to India everybody wanted to know what his ob- ect could be, but he never told, and I don’t know that he ever will.

Translated from the German for the Denver News. About the beginnlog of the present century a canjurer made his appearunce at 8t. Peters- burg, who astunished the natives by his mar- velous performances. His name was Plroettl, and his fame Is yet in the memory of those who witnessed his unrivaled talents, The Czar Alexauwder, having beard Piroett! much spoken of, was desirous of seeing bim, ond oue doy it was aunounced to the cunjurer that he would have the honor of giving a repre- sentation of his maglical powers ut Court, the hour fixed for him to make his appear- unce Lelng 7 o'clock. A brilliant and numer- vus assemuly of ladies and courticrs, presided over by the Czar, had met, but the conjurer was absent, Surprised and displeasced, the Czar puiled out his wateh, which {ndicated five min- utes ufter 7. Plructt! had not only failed b be- ing In waiting, but had causcd the Court to wult, and Alexunder was not more patient than Louts XIV. A quarter of an hour “pussed, hulf an hour, und no Plrnettl,. Messengers who had been sent In search of him returned unsuceess- ful, The aoger of the Czar, with dilllculty restrained, displayed ftaelf in theeatening ex- clamatlons, At length, after the lapscof an hour, the door of thu salon opened, and the genticinan of the chumber announced Plroettd, Who presented himself with u calm front, uod the serenity of ove who had done nothing to re- proach himsell with. The Czar, however, was greatly displeased; but Plroett] assumed an ulr of astonishment, and replied with coolness: * DId nut your Majesty comunund my pres- ence at 7 o'clock precfsely ‘“Just su! " excladmed the Czar, ot the height of exasperation. “Well, then,” sald Pirnett], *let your Maj- esty defizn to lok ut your watch, aud you will pereeive that I um exuct, und that it 18 just 7 u'elock,” The Czar, pulllng out his wateh violently, In order to contound whut he considered o plece or downright fnsolence, wascompletely amazed. The watch marked 7 o'clock] In turn ull the courtiers drew out their watches, which were found, as usual, txactly regulated by that of the SBovereign, “Scven o'clock! indleated with a cumwon sceord by all the watchies und clocks in the palace. Theart of the magicisn was at once muuifest In their strange retrogression in the march of thne. To auger succeeded - tonlshment aud admiration, Perceiving that the Czar swiled, Pirnett! thus addressed him: “Your Mujesty will pardon me, It was by the perfurmance of this trick that 1 was desirous of wmaklng my first appearance before you. Dut I koow how preelous truth Is at Court; it s at least necessary that your watch sliall tell it you, sir. If you consultit now, you will tind that it marks the real thne.” The Czar ugain drew forth his watch,—it poluted toa few minutes past8; the same reflec- tlon b taken place in ail the watches of all those present, und the clocks of thee palace. This exploit was folluwed by others cqually amusing and surprieing. At “the close of the performance, the Czar, after having compliment- ud Plrnettd, brought back o bis Temembrance that, lu the course of the evenlng's amusement, he bud declared that such was the power of his art that e could penetrate everywhere, * You, slrejeverywliere,” replicd the conjurer, with modest assurance. “ What!" exclalned the Czar, * could you penetrate even into this palace were I to order all the doors to be closed and guardedi® ** Intu this palace, sire, or eveninto the apart- ment of your Majesty, quite as eusily us I should enter into my own bouse,” sald Pirnettl. *Well, then,” sald the Czar, * at midday to- morrow 1 shall bave ready fn my doset the price of this evenlug’s amuscment,~one thousand roubles, Cumeand pet thun, But I forewarn you that the doors shall be closed aud carefully guarded.” * To-morrow at middsy I shall have the honor of presenting myself before your 3! ajesty,” replied Piruettl, who bowed and with- rew, The gentlemen of the house followed the conjurer to make sure that be quitted the pal- ace; they accompanied him to bis Jodgings, and 4 nuuber of pollce surrounded the dwelling {rom the moment he entered it. The palace wus instantly closed, with pusitive onders tiot to suf- fer, under any pretext whatever, any one to enter until the Czar Wimself should command the doors to be ovpened. These orders were strictly eoforced, confidential pe suns having watched their execntion. The exterlor openlngs o the acc were guarded by the soldicry. All the ap- proachies to the “palace were protected by high dignitaries, whom u shuple professor of the art of legerdemain posscssed no means of bribing. In short, for greater security, all the keys bad been carrled futo the Imperial cubinet, A few minutes previous to the hour fixed for Pirnetti's intervlew with the Czar, the Chamberlain on service brought to His Majesty @ dispatch which o messenger hud hunded him’ through an open- Ing {u the door. It waus a report frow the Min. ister of Pollee that Pirnetti had not left bome, ‘Ahal he bus found out that the undertaking is tm&\mummc, and hus sbandoned it ob- served the Czar, with & smile, ‘Twelve o'clock sounded. While the lust stroke yet reverber- ated, the dvor which communicated from the bedroom of the Czar to the cablnet opened, and Pirnett! uppeared, The Czar drew back a couple of paces, his brow darkened, and, after u momentary sifence, he sald, *Are 'you aware thut you may become a very dangerous judi- vidual 1" *Yes, sire,”” he replied; * but I am only an humble conjurer, with nu wmnbition save that of [INURINE your Mu{aty." re, sald the Czar, “are tho thousand roubles for laat night, and'a thousand for this day's visit."
