If Ihh eyes are fixed in I lie Kiiiiiinil, and he in doing whut he t an lo attain it, liod will certainly re gard him with favor, and you should do no less. The bigot can sec only one way and that in hi own way. lie lacks a very iniiorlant element of character be cause he in not huge enough to under Htand that different temrrnmentM re- ilire different incentives, and that what ix good for one may Miihly In had for another. There is altogether tsi little tharity in the world (or loose who do not lind it easy to sec things just a we see them. The arc a thousand w ay lo do pretty nearly everything that in worth loin, ami one way is a good as another. I'o call tliiw man a heretic. la-cause ho has hi individual way of solving the u..lo of life, and that man orthodox because he liapMnn to think a you do, in both unwise and tin-Christian. If you have a well developed soul, you can worship in any church that waa ever built, or you can womhip without any church at all. He i. a fHior kind of creature who is bo prejudiced that lie vannot tini' word with mhbh to tell the Ird how grateful be ia, w hether lie MiU in a Quaker meeting hoime or a Catholic cathedral. It in not t lie Imildiiitf, but the klea w hich it imparts that in important. It ih of no coiiHen'-ence w hatever whet her tho clorR-yman wenra u Hiirplico or iloos not wear one; that tho wrvice ia char acterized by pouip and ceremony or con ducted without these auxiliaries; that tho edifice is the exponent of eccleBiiiHti cal architecture or only a barn in the backwoods. If you k'1 ll'. yu net all you nued and all you can axk for. Jf you are Htnitten with reinorse because your record has blots and smutches on it, the mere robes of the priest who thus suits you w ill count for nothing ; and if you resolve to lead a life of integrity the preacher lias accomplished the task which the Lord Aluiinhty gave him, whether lie is Methodist or ltaptist. The object of the church is not to muke i man a sectarian, but to make him loyal to the truth. At least, that hould le its object, una" if it achieves that object, the fact that it belongs to this or that other denomination is not worth second thought. mk' t I. MliS FLORA WILSON.

That much of a rn-ed is ahxoliilely necces nary, and when y l have that much you want no more.

If you think that one sect serves your purpose better than any other, join it by all means ; but be careful that you do not worship the ladder up which you climb instead of the heaven Hgninst which the upper end of the ladder rests. And, above all, don't critici.e your neighbor because lie is made of differ ent stuff and chooses to go heaven some other way. If that neighbor is an honorable man and is doing the best his circumstance will allow, give him your good wishes ever if he goes to some other church than your own. And if he prefers to say bis prayers at home or in the woods or in any of the other tem ples of (Sod, still iive him a helping hand and io not insult nix because be cannot think as vou do, or iksult tub Ai.mioiitv because lie made that man to do just as he is doing. You cannot prescribe a diet that shall Ihi equally beneficial to all. YlHn you spread your banquet a'.low each guest to take what suits him. That is the only true hospitality. If a man has any religion at all do not ask him w hat kind it is and sneer at him because it is not your kind but be grateful because he and you are trying to get to the same place, though he takes on road and you another.
