True zeal is like the vital heat in us that we live upon, which we never feel to be angry or troublesome. Cudworth.

Our zeal, if it be heavenly, if it be true vestal fire kindled from above, will not delight to tarry here below, burning up straw and stubble and such combustible things, and sending up nothing but gross earthly flames to heaven; but it will rise up and return back pure as it came down, and will be ever striving to carry up men's hearts to God along with it. Ibid.

ZEAL-Youthful.

With all the zeal Which young and fiery converts feel, Within whose heated bosoms throngs The memory of a thousand wrongs.

Lord Byron. ZEAL-of the World and the Church.

If it is necessary for the world to be so zealous in the use of means, ordinary and extraordinary, for securing the attendance of men to its scenes of amusements, companies, places of pleasure, and marts of merchandise, for which they possess an innate inclination and bias, how much more necessary is it for the Church to be zealous in the use of all possible means to gain men to the higher things of religion, towards which they have an innate antipathy and aversion? John Bate.

ZEAL (Christian)-Definition of.

[blocks in formation]

Zeal without knowledge is like fire without a grate to contain it; like a sword without a hilt to wield it by; like a high bred horse without a bridle to guide him. Zeal without knowledge speaks without thinking, acts without planning, seeks to accomplish a good end without the adoption of becoming means. It often does one thing when it should have done another. It is boasting, vain, self-righteous, stubhorn; it goes about seeking to establish its own righteousness, not having submitted 1. The command of Christ, "Be zeal- to the righteousness of God.

Christian zeal is an earnest and ardent disposition of heart for the promotion of all the interests of vital Christianity.

ZEAL FOR SOULS.

Some winters ago two friends were travelling in Lapland. To protect themselves against the extreme rigor of the season, they had enveloped themselves in thick foldings of garments, and were well wrapped in fur. Notwithstanding all these precautions the cold was almost insuffer able. In the course of their journey through one of the glens of that country, they perceived the body of a man nearly covered with snow. When they reached him he appeared frost-bitten and dead. What was to be done? They were both enfeebled by the frost, breathing an atmosphere of snow, and shivering with the cold. One of the travellers proposed, that, as they could do the frost-bitten man no good, they should leave him, and make the best of their way to the distant inn. The other felt the spark of compassionate benevolence kindling in his breast, and

For modes of faith let graceless zealots
fight;

He can't be wrong whose life is in the right.
In faith and hope the world will disagree,
But all mankind's concern is charity.
Pope.

ZEST-Description of.

began the work of restoring animation, ZEALOTS-Graceless.
while his companion shivered and shuddered
on to the distant village. His efforts were
at first very feeble, but as he persevered he
became warm. His benevolent labour was
crowned with success-animation was re-
stored, and a "soul was saved from death."
How pure and solid was his joy! He had
saved a man from dying, and in the glorious
effort he had benefited himself. By his
benevolent activity he had restored a
healthy glow in his own system, and then
continued his journey, not trembling and
shivering, but brisk with the impulse of
generous spirits, and with the dignified
port, and the cheerful step of a man that
had done good. At the inn, which of these
travellers would my readers wish to have
been? Go, and do likewise! There is a
world before you ready to perish. The
Holy Spirit says you can save it from Death.
You feel weak only from your own cold-
ness and apathy. Make the attempt, con-
tinue the effort, and your own life-blood
will glow with a more healthy vigour, and
your own frame will be cheered with a
more generous vitality, and ransomed souls
will live and bloom in the crown of your
rejoicing.
Dr. T. W. Jenkyn.

But what is zest? To describe it by its opposites: it is the contrary of phlegmatic apathy; it is the contrary of littleness and of indifference, and of dulness of apprehension, and of sluggishness and slowness of the faculties. Zest is a plant which flourishes in the country: it does not grow well in a garden-pot in cities. The town substitute for zest is excitement: but you are not likely to mistake the one for the other, and you may know them by this mark; zest is awake toward all things, even the dullest. Excitement wakes up only at the shrill call of things new and strange. Zest imparts a relish to things that are not the most sapid. Excitement asks for larger and larger doses of cayenne, whatever it may be that is on table. I. Taylor.
