"Father, I will not ask for wealth or fame Tho' once they would have joyed my carnal sense, I shudder not to bear a hated name, Wanting all wealth, myself my sole defense, A manly faith that makes all darkness light. Make me the mouth of such as cannot speak, Fyes let me be to groping men and blind, A conscience to the base, and, to the weak, Let me be hands and feet, and to the foolish, mind, And lead still further on such as thy kingdom seek." For The Intelligencer and Journal. GLEANINGS. -Selected. The strength of a religious organization lies, mainly, in its frequent returns to the source and fountain of power upon which it places reliance. It is necessary for us to go back at times to first principles, that none of the radiating lines of truth may be lost in their ever-widening extension. As we build, we must know our foundation deep and broad and firm, else what we build may not be enduring. These thoughts have coupled themselves with the public meeting for divine worship held during the late session of Genesee Yearly Meeting. It is the usage of all our Yearly Meetings to hold a mid-week meeting for worship, and where, as in Philadelphia, the amount of business to be transacted presses with such weight and is so absorbing, it might seem that the time thus taken from the business to be transacted properly belongs to the Yearly Meeting. I have never heard it so stated, and only introduce the thought at this time to contrast it with the practice we now observe. Gathering as Friends do, from field and workshop and the countless avenues of trade and business which give occupation and a livelihood, that we may, for a time, in earnest, thoughtful commingling, deliberate upon the great questions that affect our relations to one another and to the Divine Being; there is a moral dignity and grandeur (that would seem sublime were we not so accustomed to it) in the halt we make, while yet the heat and fervor of the occasion is rising, in order to renew our allegiance to Him who is the crown of every rightly gathered assembly, and gain strength to carry forward whatever our best judgment, sustained and encouraged by the favor of His approval, may find needful to be done. And this laying down, for a brief space, the cares and concerns that brought the membership together, had its place and its service on this occasion. The exercise into which the company were baptized, prepared the way for the weighty consideration of the subject which engaged the attention of the Yearly Meeting in joint session in the afternoon. Public meeting was held on Fourth-day morning at the usual hour, 11 o'clock. There seemed no abatement in number or interest from the First-day gatherings. The silence was broken by John J. Cornell, who spoke from these words of the Apostle, "The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared unto all men," and said in substance: "The teachings of the past are only to be attained in the future. Paul calls attention to something more practical. We are saved by the gift of God. We do not all understand the term grace alike. The grace of God is simply the revelation of His will to man. It means Christ, our Savior, the power of God and the wisdom of God, and this is universal. "It is not necessary for us to look away from this world to have heavenly happiness, it was necessary that God should appear unto man for his preservation. There is nothing in His dealings hard to understand. We are to avoid the sensual appetites. The gifts of God are good, but the wrong use of them is the lust and evil that we are to overcome, as they destroy the harmony with God and His purposes. "This grace keeps us from improper thoughts and unjust acts. Preserved from sin here, we need have no thought for the future; we are encouraged to live righteously and justly with men. When worldly lusts are controlled and we enter upon a life of pure morality, then commences a religious life, and we feel the outflowing of soul to all men and to God. The fruit of godliness will appear, the kind thought, the tender word, the escaping from the desire of selfseeking and the truer life appearing. "When we are controlled by the lower desires, we feel that God has forsaken us and we are unhappy, but ceasing to do evil and learning to do well brings us back to our Heavenly Father and saves us from the commission of sin." Lydia H. Price followed in a close and searching testimony in reference to home and the family relations, saying she "would not take away or detract from the gospel message just listened to, but wanted to say that wisely ordered homes are the fruit of good and useful marriage, and the influence of the home extends beyond the present life. "The marriage relation should never be entered |
