The Golden Rule.

By H. M. Wilkinson

“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.”

WELL may this be called the golden rule. If it were strictly followed, by all the professed followers of Christ, what a different state of things would exist. And if all who profess to believe and live out the present truth were carefully to follow this rule, how many hard feelings among brethren and sisters would be saved; how many church trials would be avoided. Let us examine the rule closely, and also examine our own hearts, to see whether we are more earnest to apply it to ourselves, than to some brother or sister who may seem to us not quite right; and even if we really see wrongs in others, instead of talking them over with this or that one, how much better to ask ourselves if that is the way we would like to have a brother or sister do by us, and then follow the rule and do as we would be done by.

We have not yet attained unto perfection, but are all liable to err; and when we do, would it help us to find out in some way that a brother or sister had been talking over our faults in a way to lead others to think less of us, while they had never mentioned to us that they thought we were wrong? How much better to ask our kind Heavenly Father to show the erring their wrongs, and leave the case with him, unless we can really help them by going to them with our own hearts full of love and tender pity, realizing and acknowledging ourselves equally liable to go astray.

If our hearts are filled with the love of God, we shall love each other, and if we really love one another, as Jesus commanded, it will be easy to do to others as we would that they should do to us. If we do not feel the love we ought, toward every one of our brethren and sisters, (even though they may sometimes err, and perhaps have injured us) let us read the life of our Saviour, and meditate upon his amazing love for us poor sinners, which led him to leave the glory of his Father and come into this world of sin and be “despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” And, finally forsaken by his friends, when taken by a furious mob and cruelly mocked and scourged, and nailed to the cross: in his last agonies, while having the sins of the whole world upon him, and his Father's face hidden from him as he cries, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” even in that dark hour he prayed, “Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.” As we meditate upon his life and sufferings, we feel to exclaim, What wondrous love! Shall anything separate us from the love of Christ? We are living in a time of great peril. Satan is active and is trying in every way to scatter and divide the people of God. Shall we be ignorant of his devices?

Language among Animals.

M. Houzeau maintains that not only does each group of animals possess a language which is understood by other members of the same group, but that they can learn to understand the language of other groups. His dogs, for instance, perfectly understood his poultry. Cocks and hens have one danger signal for the approach of a bird of prey, another for that of a terrestrial animal or for a man. When the latter was sounded, the dogs would rush out and bark, while to the former they paid no attention whatever. He therefore concludes that fowls have the power of expressing slightly different but closely allied ideas, and dogs can learn to understand these differences.—Scribner’s for February.

Humility and Esteem for Others

If you wish to be esteemed, be slow to perceive your own good qualities, and quick to appreciate those of others.

Christ, the Pilgrim’s Strength.

By D. F. Quinby

We are strangers and pilgrims in this vale of tears, and have no continuing city here; out of Christ, no animating hopes; no inspiring faith, nothing cheering to the weary one here. But the call of grace is heard. Our sins are set in order before us, till we sicken at the sight, and sorrow fills our hearts—a sorrow that does not lead to despair, but to repentance. For Jesus speaks to the penitent one: “In me is thy help.” “Thou hast wearied thyself in iniquity, and hast ladened thy soul with a heavy burden which thou canst not bear;” “but come unto me, and thou shalt find rest unto thy soul.”

Faith now lifts up its eye to Him in whom is everlasting strength; sees in him all that is wanted to restore one to the favor and image of God. It beholds the complete redemption that is in Christ, and grasps the Infinite as the only refuge, and the only hope of the guilty. And while giving up every other dependence, it hangs alone on him who said, “My grace is sufficient for thee.” The Saviour, beholding the penitent—hearing the confessions of the sinner, and knowing that every hope from any other source has fled, and that the helpless soul relies only on him—smiles graciously, and bids the dying sinner live. Now hope “springs eternal in the human breast”—love flows out to him who is worthy of all the heart’s holiest affection. The eye of faith is now fixed upon the Guiding Star. Jesus has become the author, and is working in the heart by his Holy Spirit and grace until he shall be the finisher, of our faith. And we can say with the poet that now—

“Faith doth take a pleasing view, Hope waits—love sits and sings, Desire flutters to be gone; But Patience holds her wings.”

We are yet strangers and pilgrims, but we are journeying to the land which is promised unto us, and we have in our view the city that hath foundations, whose maker and builder is God. We are enabled to endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ, “Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God.” Laying aside every weight, we look forward to the time when our sorrows will all be over forever, when we shall lay hold on eternal life. We count not ourselves as having attained, but forgetting the things which are behind, we press toward the mark for the prize of our high calling’s glorious hope.

We have not to measure our own strength alone with our powerful and wily foe, but the Conqueror is uniting his strength with ours. And we know, that while he, single-handed, met the powers of darkness and triumphed, we shall in his strength prevail, and be overcomers through his grace. Let us then fight manfully the battles of the Lord; and may our strengthless souls ever hang on him, in whom is everlasting strength. He careth for us.

Loveliness of a Good Temper.

Is she not the very sparkle and sunshine of life?—a woman who is happy because she can't help it—whose smiles even the coldest sprinkle of misfortune cannot dampen. Men make a terrible mistake when they marry for beauty, for talents, or for style. The sweetest wives are those who possess the magic secret of being contented under any circumstances. Rich or poor, high or low, it makes no difference; the bright little fountain of joy bubbles up just as musically in their hearts. Do they live in a log-cabin? the fire that leaps upon its humble hearth becomes brighter than the gilded chandeliers in an Aladdin palace. Where is the stream of life so dark and unpropitious that the sunshine of a happy face falling on the turbid tide will not awaken an answering gleam? Why, these joyously tempered people do not know half the good they do.—Golden Censer.

Obituary Notices.

By J. H. W.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

Died, in Battle Creek, Mich., Aug. 5, 1873, sister Elizabeth J. Burnham, aged 42 years. Brother and sister Burnham left Missouri soon after the commencement of the war on account of the troubles in that State, and went to Monterey, Allegan Co., in 1862, where they embraced the faith, and have kept the Sabbath since that time. Sister B. had been in feeble health for a long time. Some time since she went to Syracuse, N. Y., where her brother resides, hoping that the change of climate might prove favorable; but as she still failed, she was brought to the Health Institute. But it was too late; no means could avail to save her life.

She left good evidence of her acceptance with God. She was conscious to the last, and fully resigned to her lot.

She was taken to Monterey for burial, where, Aug. 7, a large congregation attended. Sermon from John 3: 16.

On Quotations.

By James White

We have received of late several letters asking where certain quotations, ascribed to certain authors, may be found, or verified, the writers saying that they have given these quotations, and they have been contradicted, parties asserting that they were not genuine, and calling for proof. We are willing and anxious to help as far as possible, but it is not always possible. To hunt up a few lines quoted from an author often requires more time than we can spare. Sometimes it is almost impossible, when the quotation is genuine, because we do not know where to look in the works of a given author.

It has been a cause of regret that some quote loosely, not being sure that the connection sustains the construction put upon the quotation, and not giving the book, chapter, or page, from which the quotation is made. In all such cases, it would be well to regard the quotation with suspicion; be cautious in using a quotation made by any one who does not tell exactly where it may be found. And it would be well for our ministers to verify important quotations before they use them. They have opportunities to examine the libraries of others if they do not possess the works. And in no case offer a quotation which you are not prepared to sustain, if there is any chance of its being denied, or if the denial would cause you trouble, or cause your statements to be doubted.

Maine Camp-Meeting.

By J. B. Goodrich; G. W. Barker; Wm. Morton

THERE can be no reduction of fare obtained on the railroads to our camp-meeting. Ample provisions will be made for horse keeping at reasonable prices.

A boarding tent will be on the ground as usual, where refreshments can be obtained.

Those coming by railroad will purchase tickets to Pishon’s Ferry. Ministers will please call for clergymen’s tickets, as they can come on the Maine Central or the Portland and Kennebec and other branch railroads, for half fare.

We hope to see all on the ground this year on time. Let none excuse themselves from coming, for we all need the instruction, benefit, and encouragement that can be derived from such a meeting. When we are favored with the labors of our able ministers from the West, none should remain away who can possibly attend. Make the meeting a special subject of prayer. Let all wrongs be made right, and let the work commence now, so when we come up to the camp-meeting, we can be prepared to take hold of the work of God in earnest, and work for the salvation of others. We want to see the best camp-meeting ever held in Maine. Come, brethren and sisters, make the effort, and God will bless. CAMP-MEETING COMMITTEE.

Maine State Conference.

The Maine State Conference will hold its next annual session in connection with the camp-meeting to be held one mile above Pishon’s Ferry, on the Portland and Kennebec R. R., on the same ground occupied last year, commencing Aug. 28, and continuing to Sept. 1. Let all our churches in this Conference immediately take the necessary steps to fully represent themselves, by delegates; also, let all see that their s. B. pledges are paid up to Sept. 30, if possible.

“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Mal. 3:10.

We earnestly request all to see that their tents are put up, and things set in order, and be ready to commence with the first day of the meeting and remain until the close.

Direction: Matter for the Review and Herald Office

Direction!

ALL matter for the Office should be directed to REVIEW AND HERALD. The report from District No. 8, Mich., was delayed because it was in an envelope directed to an individual not in this Office.

Michigan Camp-Meeting—R. R. Arrangement.

We have received notice from the Gen. Superintendent of the Michigan Central Railroad that the Mail and Accommodation trains, both directions, will stop at the ground of the Michigan Camp-Meeting, Sept. 3 to 9, inclusive. He also writes: “We may decide to place a person there to sell return tickets from the encampment grounds to the several stations; and if so, shall expect the influence and co-operation of Mr. Root to induce all persons taking trains from the encampment to purchase tickets, and thus prevent confusion on the cars.”

Trains leave stations as follows:—

GOING WEST.				GOING EAST.
A. M.	P. M.	A. M.		P. M.	A. M.	A. M.
10.40	5.05	7.00	Jackson,	2.30	12.10	8.00
11.08	5.30	7.32	Parma,	2.02	11.45	7.32
11.32	5.57	8.00	Albion,	1.40	11.22	7.08
12.25	6.45	8.35	Marshall,	1.15	10.55	6.40
1.00	7.20	9.15	Battle Creek,	12.19	10.20	5.55
1.34	7.57	9.55	Galesburgh,	11.38	9.50	5.22
2.03	8.20	10.20	Kalamazoo,	11.15	9.27	5.00
P. M.	P. M.	A. M.	Leave,	A. M.	P. M.	A. M.

Besides the mail, there are two accommodation trains each way, instead of one as stated last week. We have no card giving the time at signal stations, but that can be safely calculated from the above.

Answers to Correspondents.

By J. H. W.

“In the interpretation of the hand-writing on the wall, Why did Daniel use the word Peres instead of Upharsin? Dan. 5: 28. Please answer in Review.”

This question has doubtless arisen in the minds of many readers. There is not the difference in the two words which the English reader would imagine. We think it can be made clear to the understanding of all.

1. In that class of languages almost all words have their roots in the verbs. Nouns are constructed from verbs.

2. They were originally written with consonants only, without vowel points.

3. The writing on the wall was so brief in its expressions that it was impossible to give the interpretation except by inspiration. Thus, it might have been read: “He has numbered—he has weighed—and he has divided.” To what these words referred the “wise men” could not tell. Daniel told, because God revealed unto him their meaning.

4. P and ph are the same letter.

5. The U (sounded oo), in upharsin, is a prefixed conjunction, simply our “and.”

6. The termination, in (i as long e), is the Chaldaic form of the masculine plural.

7. By rejecting the prefixed conjunction, and the plural termination, we have the same consonants left in both words; in other words, we have in them the same root. Thus, PeRes, uPaRSin.

8. From the root, peres, is derived, Parsi, a Persian; Parsin, the Persians.

9. As in the interpretation of the first two words, on account of the exceeding brevity of expression, Daniel added to the words written, so of the last, he used both the root, peres, he has divided, and the derivative, Parsin, given to the Persians. J. H. W.
