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 ©

side, and exhilarated as

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.
