[Continued from 253d page.| how the regiment that has covered it- self with glory on the field of battle and in face of the enemy, will sometimes fall into disgrace by loose and riotous _ behavior when it comes back and its soldiers are dismissed. Each of us is a regiment of faculties and affections, which so long as danger or more spe- cial duty are in front of us, it is corre- spondingly easy to keep together and make capable of heroic efforts. But the real peril comes aiterwards, when the victory having been won, or the work finished or the success attained, our affections and our powers are scattered in idleness among the temptations which constantly surround us. Let us, like Christ, make every summit to which God lifts us a new platform for prayer, every victory we win a new consecra- tion and enlistment of our faculties and our feelings in His service. YOUTH HAS DANGEROUS SUMMITS. I was climbing in Switzerland several years ago. The mountain was the Weisshorn, which is more than fourteen thousand feet high. There had been very bad weather for three weeks, and most of the way from the hut, which is about half way up to the summit, my guides and I had to cut steps in the ice, and we had taken by turns the duty of cutting the steps, and it had cost us all the time from two in the morning, when we started from the hut, until nine, when we got to the summit. The summit, as the summit generally is in these Swiss Alps, was of boulders and pinnacles of granite fifteen or twenty feet high, too high for snow to rest upon them. When we got to the foot of them, one of the guides who was leading at the time stood aside to let me get first to the top. I sprang up without thinking, and exhilarated by the air and eager to see the view, for it was a splendid morning, I forgot the gale which was blowing from the other © I was I stood I felt myself “Down, sir! side, and exhilarated as up to my full height. pulled. by the jacket. Down on your knees! You are not safe there except on your knees.” Gentlemen, I think God in our youth raises us to higher summits than we ever reach in our later years, narrower, more dangerous, but therefore more glorious. .But do not rise to any in- tellectual height, or moral height; do not rise to any great enthusiasm, do not find yourselves on the height of any success or triumph, without remember- ing to use it, as Christ himself used it, as a new platform for prayer and for consecration. - Rev. George Adam Smith, D.D., was porn if India in 1856, and was educated at the University and at New College, Edinburgh. He continued his studies in Germany, at Tibingen and at Leip- sig, and later made two extended journeys in the East, visiting Egypt and the Holy Land. After some experience both in teaching, and as a pastor in Aberdeen where he remained for ten years, he was chosen professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Exegesis at Free Church College, Glasgow. His principal writings are his volumes relating to the Prophets of the Old Testament, and “The Historic Geog- raphy of the Holy Land.’ These works are characterized by thorough scholar- ship and are both lucid and eloquent. His last literary production is the admirable. biography of his _ friend Henry Drummond. .He is_ likewise distinguished as a scholar. Professor Smith combines in a remarkable degree fidelity to science with a reverent and religious spirit. —_____++@—___— Preliminary Harvard Trials. The first of the preliminary trials for the Yale-Harvard debate which is to take place at Cambridge on Friday, May 12th, was held by the Academic De- partment and Law School on Saturday, April 8th.
