The wedding took place at the bride's home on the 21st of January. The boys had a fine time in giving the young couple a serenade. The young couple was not in a hurry about coming out, so that a good deal of music went to waste. A fine treat was given the boys. May their future troubles be little ones.

Kerr is holding a aeries of Bible meetings at St. John church. Quite a number of our citizens should be in attendance when they can have the privilege of his service, as it is both beneficial and interesting. J. C. Mauk tells a good way he has of disposing of candidate cigars. He told us a Republican candidate left a box with him to distribute among the best Republican of town, but he placed the box in front of the mirror, and he walks up to that every morning and says, _"Jake, have a cigar," and of course Jake is the best republican we have, and he gives himself credit for it.

Strieklsr. that are discoverable in nature and haman life. Eyery beauty of the inanimate world is a reflection of his beneficence. Every commendable trait to be found in human life, how- ject the thorns. If wc will thus practice the treasuring of the beauties and virtues that shine in all things around us, we will soon see thatfgthe nnivorse is radiant with Christ, and we will find ourselves unconsciously growing liko him whose glories wore likened to the Sharon rosies and the lillies of the valley. Christ's character is as endlessly varied as all the beauties and virtues istence. Garland the blossoms and re- the evening sky wo must drink it in. Whenover we seo divinity curving in the semi-circles of the snow drifts, arching in the irredcsccnce of tho rainbow, or sparkling in tho dewdrops of tho morning, by all means tarry until such glories aro photographed on the soul. Close your eyes to the vices, and behold with prayerful admiratioB, the virtues of your fellow men. Train your oars to catch the sweet melodies of all ex- rare beauty, we must transplant it Into our own garden. Whenever wo see a virtue in another life, not to be found in our own, from whatever source it may come, we must take it to ourselves, and incarnate it into conduct. Whenever wo see a crimson on few j)068e8s many. How then are we to get an infinite Christ out of all this complexity ? We must carofully study all of his excellencies, as far as wc can comprehend him, and make them our own. Practice the truths that grow such virtues. We must do like tho florist. Whenover we find a plant of other has emphasized industry, lie thinks work the panacea for all UIh. Another does much praying and still falls short of many of the christian graces. But few characters reflect a groat number of the cardinal virtues of Christianity at the same time. All men are strong in one or more, ami a the whole of his capital in honesty. Though he may possess great moral deformities, he has one sterling quality, that many, more respectable characters, would do well to imitate. An- turo is luminous with heavenly smiles. One man has invested almost are, there has never lived a man, aside from Christ himself, whoso character reflected all the graces of divinity. Hut they are all to be found in their varied beauties about us. If we are looking for divinity, wc can see it sparkling, in greater or less degree, in ever- eye, and glowing in different forms in every lito. Na- But we have never soen Christ in person, and how are we to form any conception of what he is? Ho is cv" en man's ideal of the noblest anil tho best. All of his qualities arc not to be fnu' (1 in any one life, or gathered from any one quarter, but all of his qualhks are reflected in all thoir beauty and inspiration from nature and lite around us. Christ confronts u> at every turn of life. Wo meet him every hour of the day. All men around us are gathering up some of the glittering jewels of divinity. Some of the ctowned heads of the old word are said to have coronets com[ posed of genu from every laud. Every (lower (hat smiles from the hills in spring time, reflects a different shaile of color. The richest garlands are composed by the taetoful arrangement of the greatest variety. As beautiful at some crowns are, I doubt that any one has ever contained all the different beauties ot the mineral kingdom. As rich as some garlands are, wo iioubt that any one has exhausted the lloral variety of the world. As beautiful as many lives The progressive christian is con stantly building up a more exalted ideal of Jems. Ho is our model of excellence, aud unless we grow Intc a higher capacity for appreciating him, that model will remain stationary forever. Unless we can discover now beauties in him to stir our emulation on throagh life, we will coase to grow. Our spiritual growth depends on the discovery of something to which wo have not yet attained, and of such a character that we desire to acquire it. This is to bo found in Christ alone. Our model man becomes more Godlike, as we approach neare to our ideals. farm house seemed like mountains during our childbood. The few square miles to which our youth was confined once seemed like an empire. But when we have gone ont into the great world, crosssed its ocean*, ascended its mountains, felt the throb i of its mighty cities, and then returned, how changed are tho snrroutidings of our birth. Our childhood mountains have shrunken into mere tnolo hills, the fields have contracted lino comparative gardens and the entire neighborhood stands much closer together. Everything is about the same, bur the change has been going on ill our-e|ve«. Wectn never see tho-e things us we once raw them, ixjt us not be discouraged ii wt can not full v comprehend Christ at once. Is l us not lie alarmed it' we find our vision of him changing as we develop into niaturor life. Change of view is tho natural prtcess of all healthy natures. As tho reasoning faculties are developed, the judgment becomes better balanced, the imagination tnoro refined, and the conscience more tender, wo will have larger and more correct views of life, and will thus be enabled to see more excellencies in our Lord, and secure greater comfort in his communion. Ilis love is as high aB the firmament, as broad as the universe, and as fathomless as space, but tho more reading of this is of no value to us unless we can gra«p and assimilate such a life into our own. it true of Christ. Ue was not a genius, ho was a Deity. Nearly nineteen centuries havo passed by since he lived, and yet tho race has very crude conceptions of a character so divinely grand in its dimensions. But he is growing in favor with men. The glory of his name is spreading, and the merits of his mission are becoming more manifest. The farther from his birth the greater he appears. The time is coming when he will be known from the least to the greatest. Every lite will be his monument, and every dwelling his temple. He is gradually growing on the world. Our views of him are constantly changing. He is all to us that we are oapable of conceiving him to be. He cannot be any grander to us than our capacity for forming ideals. Oar comfort depends altogether on our ability to grasp and appropriate his virtues. Our spiritual deficiencies are not due to any limitations in Christ; they are due to our limited view of his nature. But, some one will say, "is not the character of Jesus clearly set forth in scripture, does not the Bible tell us exactly what kind of Being he was ? " To be sure. But this is a picture in cold print. Manv of us in reading of Christ conceive ideas similar to those of tho little boy concerning Alexander. He thought he was so great that while he stood on the earth, his head would touch the clouds. He had read of the victories of the great warrior, and had formed his idea in the only possible way—out of his own imagination. His idea of greatness was altogether material. No doubt when he grew older he understood that it was the spirit of the man that waged such glorious conquests. Our impression* of Christ change just aa rapidly aa we grow. Our first impressions of anything are narrow and contracted. The hills about the old t ire a, people can be produced with sentiments sufficiently refined, and moral vision sufficiently enlarged to appreciate character on so grand a scale We are nor so cold-hearted as wo aro narrow minded. When wo are made to see that men are dying in our behalf, we hasten to do them honor. If such is true with referenco to finite creatures, bow much more is I uin the true vine. I am the floor. I am the good Shepherd. 1 urn the rcnurrcctton. I am the way, the truth and the life. Christ represents himself in scripture as having a character of infinite complexity. lie is not a variable Christ. lie is the same, \esferday, to-day, and forever, yet possessing a variety of qualities, whoso newly discovered heautios are the charm ot all ;
