IHis toxt was ¢ The burden of tho desert, Isafoh, x3i., I, Aa tho travolor pursues his journoy, day aftor day, over tho illimitablo wasto, ho finnlly bo- comes conscious of o wonriness that 18 oppros- sivo. Away, leaguo upon leaguo, strotchies the yast oxpanse, Tl samo sky I8 ovor him, tho samo droary lovol beforo him, tho samo horlzon Douuds bis vision ot morning, noon, and night. No groen hills, or waving grain, or rofrosbing. groves, groot hin oyo,nor doeslio hear thosounds’ of Industry or wmugomont. Instond of plensant valloys, and cultivated ficlds, snd tho biuo ridges of distant mountaing, he Eecs on overy eido tho mighty sweop of the dosert with its monotonous surfaco and consoloss destitution of lifo with its nctlvitios and enjoymonts. Tho incessant samo- noss, the path ovor such a wildoruess at last amounta to o burdon. 1o longa for o chnnge, if it bo nothing moro than o ruggoed rond and aighty and sounda (hat would be othorwise uuinterest- ing. o think of traveling such s landucapo for yeara wonld bo intolorable. He asks, pleadingly, “Whon will it ond " ‘Phoro are oxperionces of human lifo that aro aptly fgnred by this “burden of the desert,” In fact, oll whoeo path runs on many yesrs gob into sud and Jonoly pluaces that thoy would fain esoapo, Tho gront mnjorlty of tho human fam- ily aro born to trial aud caro—to o sorvice that hiecomen monotonons in its continuity and do- mands. Whero theroiano sovere trial in onc's experienco, thore mey bo, from tho constant prossuro of dpily duty, & burden that s at least Uistressing. I do not dinparage tho dignity aud Tacessily of Jabor, 1tin ong of muu's groatost Dloseings that ho Ia obliged to be induktrious, frugnl, pains-tnling, poraistent,—thot he hns to tako responsibilities and endure hardship. No strong nnd noble character 18 found without such an edneation, _Still tho fact remains that whero there in w0 relief to the vi;:lhmeo that gunrds tho intcrests of the louschold, where, from yonr to year, ono is beld down to continuous] drdgery, where tho struggle to maintain oxistonce, With its urgent necossitios, i8 protrneted without respite, the very samencsg ‘of the strnin and solicitude grows to bo opproy- sive, There is a groat multitude in tho world who get no rolief in their lives from tho hard routmo of their oconpations aud cares, and though, of course, many of them aro without Tiigh aspirations or Qo sensibilitios, yot swong them aore thoso who foel ofton that they aro plodding over & desort, The dull and heavy qmonoteny tires them. They are woary of tho snmo rnufx, the snmo service, the same ohango- loss oxpanso, tho snmo dark horizon, And look- ing out on tlio pleturon that como froquently to thoir hoarts, thoy aale for some pleasant change Zfor n reat, porchanee, ou some musieal shoro, or amid mountaing that nro bright and swoob with health and peuco. 1t i8 not so much that any ono place, or any one occupation, 8 ‘botier than another, ihat o chango in the fatigain or dismal routive of lifo is dosirablo, Ono enrrics himself with him, of courso, wher- over ho gocs, and the bnse and discontontod mind ean never, by any niero removals, whorever it wandor, find noblonosa and content. Btill, the agreeable varistion of ono's oxperience, for o timo, is a recreation and a rest, It would bo a Dleseed thing if all who kuow whet tho burden of tho samences and tiresomences of businens and housobold cave is, could bave somo littlo yeurly reapito—somo_divorsion from tho heavi- ness and irkesomenoss of their way, Nothing is Iost, but a great deal gained, whon the desert- lifo i now and then broken up, and one is per- mitted to start sfresh with a new exporionce. Another burden of the desort is a doatitntion of human sympathy. Buch is the coostitution of mau that ho roquiras sacloty, friondship, af- fection, That life is only partially furvished that fa without tho enrichmonts of love. It is in tho sunshine of kindred natures, in tho as- surauce of tho trust, and estoem, and dovotion of faithful hearts that somo of tho most oxerl- lont traits aro developed, and tho purest onjoy- ments known, Take away from ono all ploasent compuuionship, a1l that testilios to neighborly confidenco and ccncern, and lifo is barren in- deod, And yot thoro aro thoso who live on with- out_fho congciowsness of s elncoro friond; Who amid all the muititudes around them are asstired of nono who have them in tender oslecm, When ono las thus carried alono his trinla, has felt tho Lieart-hungor that is novor appensed, and appro- ciaten the valuo aud ponsibil{tics of friondship, Din irolation nnd poverty mnounts Lo sufforing, Ife Lenrs the burden of the desert. We may bo- llove that o good wany kuow what this is—what it is to walk a wearisomo path with no trustful companion ; to abido Wwhoro thoro is no homa ; fo como from work with no wolcomo of watchinl oyen; ta ga nbrond with nono to oxpress interent or solicitude ; to endure disappeintment, pain, sicknens, without onjoying tho support of aflect tionnto nssiduities; to fool day after day that thoy are cared by none in all tho world, " Witn such lits not only growa manotonous, but choer- Joss, 'Thero is 1o verduroupon it, It s uublest with fountaing of aweet watars, Dut thero is another desert over which {ho mont, whose lives are proiracted, have to travel, ot least for n timo, nnd this is tho desort of aflliction, Manifold nre human woos, and strangs wnd griovous the pathe in which somo aro compelled to walk, 1t is truo thnt somo scom favared with peculiar blessings, and to l-n{oy a freedom from the calamities that blight the roson of so many lives. And yotuno ono can feol assured, whilo In tho world, that ho in rocuro from afitiction.

Thoso *‘ things," you obsorve, aro ot Jearnod by human wisdom, but by tho sonl, which, through its renewal in holinces, fs propared for them. That knowledge is in Christ ihoLord, If any ever trod n desert way, or bore ils burden, it was this divine Redecwer, and yet Ho gnw and know tho wondrous blessed- ness of Lis Father's house, that * imporial pal- aco whonee He camo." 8o, though the digciplo have horo an oxporl- ence of tho desert, it 18 his priviloge to enjoy tho companionship and sympatby of Him who pasaed through {t all, and who will give sweot wolls of Bacen oyen in tho lonoly aud amd plnces, and who londs on to tho Innd whose sunshine ia the smile of God. Therefore, weary ilgrim, bo choered and_consoled. Your way is not altogother barren. Many nud many an oasis you reach and enjoy in your hoavenward jour- ney.

Bermon by the Rov: C M. Tyler at Plymouth lrch. Tho Rov. Mr. Tyler, of Ithees, N.

A dus admixiure .of justico with maroy, of hatred of evil and oyil moit with love of virtue would give menkind a noble progross. ' Our thoologics were apt to oscillato from the oxtrome viow of Divino jus- tico to oxtromo viows of good boneyolonce, Dr, Arnold was tired of good boys who loved God only, and desirod some who wonld hearlily hato thodovil, It was Jrobablo that many of tlio Btterancon of David scomod harsh to.us bocauso of our own unstrung coneclonces, our low moral tone. When aman stood on some Loight of in- spiration, and looked out upon the ovil that gwopk ovor human life, ho rose to somo concep- tion of man's appalling iogratitudo to God, and somo_cougaption of thio sin which, Iiko vipors' blogd, linked i tho best of . us, nud made it possiblo for tho most oultivated of earth to Lreak forth Into somo fluanofal dishonor, some daatardly botrayal of virtuo and fnnoconce, some redhanded usur- pation of anthority over others; thon a good 'man found swelling to his lips stornest words of Tightoous indl?nnflnn 0 bo incapablo of swhich 'Wfl'lllm provo L destituto of gocdneds and sym- pathy. ‘Thero was danger in this age of our becoming enfoebled in our scuse of ?uutlca.

The good cause must goup, aud the bad cause go down to iIadea and hovo no resuirection, Wo must romombor also that the Paslms aro poems of tho Oriental, not the Occidontal, mind, and, in worda moro glowiug than Wostern pooples uso, the writor was only exprossing his confl- doncoin God's providonce, which subordinated ovil mon to Ernml and banofleinl rosults, Whon the Psalmist rejoiced .in the overthrow of the wicked, In the entailment of misory upon tho postority of the -transgressor, ho took it for grauted that hig motive would not be mis- understood. Ho scornod to suspoct othera of suspecting Lis intogrity, Mo looked with in- spired cousciousuess through all human wars and atracities to the will of Gad, who had made tho world, aud pormitted ovil to enter it, and tho trausmission of no form of transgrossion to Win chlldren, It God tolerated tho Working of at- taindor,—tho netting of the_childron's tooth on edgo,—tho Paalmist sorrowed for the vietim, but viudfeated tho justico of God, who, for nfinita roaons, pormitted ovil to dome info tho world, aud to pulse tbhrough all ages.

The otireh way woll filled with an sudionco who listonod attentively to the oloquent preacher's gormon, 1lo took for his toxt tho Tth verso of the thirtcouth chaptor of Ht, Joln Whut T do thou (kuowest 1ot now, but thou shalt know Loreafters which now neems dirk nud strauge wuld $1 tho fultire bo mado Light, no thut lo who woil- dors and_objects horo sbiull there voufess them to ba right and Juit, Ho thon wont on to say that, if thoso words woro soparatod from the original occaslon und glven the Lroath of meaning belonglug o a ganoral trath, they wonld bo fouud full of rich and presont uso, They should bo cousidored, not oy Oluist's touching to oue of his followors, TOIRING: ! but os Ml lving word o ug, and wo should humbly sook for tho lesaons which it brings, Its firat losson waa ono of humility. It aae sertod our prosent ignorance concorning God's purposcs and acts. It enld o us in the words of Ohlrlat, *Whiat I do yo know not now.” It was not in rolation to. some groat and wondorful ovent which convulsed Kingdoms that Olrlst told Dotor of his ignorance, but a stmplo, pri- vato mattor, wrought {n 8 small uppor chambor, and witnosaed only by a fow disciplos. It was o simplo not by which Olrist came into oloso contact ~with- tho individusl soul, and having roference- to tho most common thinga, And so Io ocamo to us in the dally rounds and {n tho little nots of lito, and declarod thnt wo did not grasp thoso things in thelr truo 8000 and worth. Tho difiioulty with ns often was that we Imaginod we could undoratand tho small affairs woell enongh ouraalves, and nooded to be modost and lowly only occaslonnlly, and in grost crises and evénts. Ve looked st ordinary things with a spirit of neauranco, aud folt that wo wero ablo o moot and manngo them ; but a sudden groat sorrow sont us to our Honvenly Fathor in cou~ scious halplesenoss and noed. Thus it comea that our common lifo woa too much separatod from CGod. Most of our carcer wan made up of lttle things, and it was nob often that any strango or groat event occiirred, and #o tho pofuts of contact botwoon oursouls and God iere raro, while tho inter- conrso should boe conatant. Our Christian courso was too much liko the progrosa of s railway traln, stopplug here snd thero to take supplics of wator and wood, while it should resomblo more the growth of_a troo, avory moment xlnvdn{; nurturoe from tho sun- shino and tho soil. It might truly bo_said that wo thoroughly kuew nothing hore, and that not oven tho emallest, simplest matior was soon in all ita causes, motlvos, rotations, and results, + Wo novor comprobended & truth in ita full- noss ; we ratbior apprehouded ideas. Wo bohold thom in glimpaos eud parts, Wo ragardod oyvouta 8s it they -woro eimple, independont thivgs, having no conncotion with what had goua before or what was to como after, whorona all thlugs struck their roots iuto o distant un- aoon past, and ot their scods on to a remoto and_undlscovorod futuro. Boforo us sud bo- hind us strolchod the vastrealms of timo and space, and woe atood upon the unarrow. bridge botween thoe two, and watohod tho long proces-: sion passing by, and tho bricf glanco wo got of thom was not euough for us to loarn them woll. It wo could sco our llves right, many of the thioga which wo callod smnll would grostly grow In vaiue rud in wolght. Thero either wore no littlo things that woro not momontous in thelr onuses or offects, or olso wo in our ignoranco could not toll which things wore ront, aud which small, aud often “mistook fuem and reversed their proper place. All aro equally included in tho plans aud_purposes of God—tho swinging of & world, and tho falllny of s gparrow rliko clalmed His attention ap care, Ho did not eny, liko us, that tho one waa Amall and the othor was great, Wo had nocauso for pride or confidonce on any side and must confess with roforoncs to all, . Wo donot kuow." Wo sometimes consdorod tho groat idoa of God's love, and searched of it the principlo that tho motivo controlling all His aots was thoslugle purpose to eocura His gronturen tha higheut good. The theory seemod bosutiful and right, aud wo gladly walcomed it, and roatod upou it But, whon wo come down from tho lheights of thought to the cold, dull lovel of our nctunl Iifo, we found things that tented, porhaps wellnigh overthirew, our faith. [t was cnsy and plensant to say that God wad loyo, but somotimes [t was dificult to fonl and own it. Blany khlugs that wero lard, aod dark, and goro camo within our notice every duen How often did tho wrong triumph over right! How constantly the innocont woro mado to suf- for with, and ofton for, tho guilty! Iow often wore our foudest oxpectations destroyed—tho cups of joy wo thought most full and swoot dashed from our thirsty lips, and wo mado deso- Into and sad, and left to mourn amid ashoes on tho ruins of our hopos| And, in rteforence to all thess things, God eaid in answor to our remonstrances and ag- pirings: “What I do_thou knowest not now,” Wo did not and could not understand God's donlings with us, e withheld tho kuowledgo beeaudo our minds wero too small and weak to comprohond tho truth. Just s a child submits to tho control of ita paronts, o must we submit to tho control of God, knowlug aud feoling that His commands woro true and rightoous alto- gothor. Cod bad given us not all that Ho could toll, but ail that wo could comprehend, snd far moro then tho wigeat man had ever loarned. 1Mo bad agsured us that 1fis cave ox- tonded to overy atom of His universo. No ano waa forgotten or ovorlooked. Every ono of ail His croaturen waa bononth His constant watch. Like the just King, o gave us rightcous laws, Yromatod tha innacent, and puniahad tha gutity, ¢ somotimea Iis doinga seomed mysterious aud sovere, wo should romomber thal it wae evon 80 with oarthly parents and rulors. The fathor was not less loving when e chided or corrected his ehild than whon o approved and_commend~ od, and tho King was 1o cruol when ko exccut- }!Il fllg law, but ho would bo if he loft it unen- orcad. 5 And when we could not intorprot the ways of Providonco to us, wo shonld not complain and sny that God wns unjust and harel, but_should humbly say in o)l bis acts towards us, * It Is the Loxd, lot Iim do what secmoth to Iim good."” This lesson of humility, leading us to submis- sion and to trast, was the most important and rmuclgnl toaching of the toxt, and only through ts guidanco gould we beled lo comfort and oaco. I’;nut it wasmot the only truth which it con- tainoi; it told of hopo a8 well as of humility. A timo would como whon boliof would brighton into knowledge sud faith bo swallowod in sighe, God Buid to uy, ** What I do know thon knowost not now;" but to this Ho added thio precious promiso, “*Thou sholt know horeatter.” What happiness w.aited us in the uppor sconcs of lighit and joy could not now ba told, for oye had not goon nor ear heard. But wo kmow that among those springs of blits this should be one, Wo shon!d then kuow the moaning and design of all God's donlings with us horo, What blossodnons and consolation would thore be in thia fact slone, and if it Liad no othor {?y but this, would bo in- finitely glorious and rich. e HEALED BY FAITH, Jawmes Church by Bishop Clarlkson. The Rt. Rev. Dr. Clarkeon delivered s sey- mon, ot morning gorvice, yesterday, in Bt Jamos Episeopsl Churol, corner of Cass and Huron strects, taling his toxt from Matthow ix.,,20: * And bohold a womnn which was dis- ensed for twolve yoars," ato, The proacher do- scribed tho scono around tho Bavior on tho day when the miraclo of hoaling tho disoased fomale was porformed, Crowds woro thronging upou Ilim, and {his woman, strong in folth, andaf- flioted in body, touched the hem of Iis garment, aud, bebold, eho wae hoaled, The Lord asked of Iis diselples, ¢ Who touched my garmont?" DBut so0 meny thronged sround Him thet no dikeiplo could tell who did go, although the omniscient oyo of the Bavior now that tho woman had touched tho garmont with faith, sud kuew that the virtue of hoaling had gono out from Iis di- vino nature to tho poor afilicted mortal. Tho mcident was ono_of the most touching in the Now Testamont, It h“%:.lt maukind tho groat losgon of faith, without which prayer was of littla worth, Io would not pause to draw o parallel, at grony length, botwoon tho woman who was healed by falth, and tho souls thot woro paved " by tho samo power, Tho losson of the foxt was obvious, Thousands had flocked to sco Josus, many of thom halt and blind, hnuoflnf nothing, oxpect- iug nothing, and roturning to tholr homea omply- landed ns thoy oamo, Tho afiliotod womau Woa mado the medium, on this ocesslon, of teachiug huwanity faith in Ohrlst, s tho beat and surest rond to epivitual salyation, It was by falth also that sinful souls would bo saved.

(1. F. Magonny of Town ! ' Colleges The Rev. G, F. Magouu, D, D., Presldent of Towa Oollogo, preached yostorday morning toa Iargo auditory in tho First Congrogational Churéh, Ilis toxt was tho 10th vorse of iho third chaptor of tho Gospel according to Bi. Johnt For God 8o lovod theworld that Yio gave Iiia only begotton son, that whosoever belisvetlh in Him should not poriah, but Lave ovarlasting life, 'Dr, Magoun said it was tho opinion of many commontatora that thoso worda woro not uttorod by the Bavior, but that thoy woro thrown o by tho Evangolist, having beon drnwn from lustruotions given at another timo; that tho words woro simply sn oxplanatory po- ronthoais. Whothor this opinion waa sceurate or not wae not essontial to us, for in any easo, to us tho mission of Christ upon corth was past and complate, and {t was onough to take the wordsas rosonting, ln the sfmplost sud most consolidatod lorm, tho faot of God'n Jove for the world, The roflections suggosted by tho toxt wero divided into threo hosds,—the fact of God's love: the binding conditions of the Gospel; the result of that Goapel. Heo flrat treated tho fact that “‘God o loved tho world"—how s loved, and fn what manner that lovo was manifostod. Thoro could not bo concoived suok a proof of lovo aa that nfordedin !flving His only bogotton son, whom ho gavo, not o tho angolio hosts in hoavan, bnt to o world, gintul, 'pmvokl.ni 1ncorrigiblo ; full of error, im- plots, wratl and lood ; thoworld of His enomios. 0 glm was His son. To Lavo given awny wholo galaxies and systems would have boou naught to $he gift of on only gon~—the only por- son in His sugust kingdom on whom that namo ‘had over rostod. The binding conditlon of the Gospel was shown In tho words, * Whosoovor bolfeveth in Him.” Undor tho Gospel, man had ono groat daty moro than undor tho law,—that of beliov- ing. Itwnaa [iwllfll“ bolieving ; it wns roaliz- ing tho Gospol faok; roalizing that God had given Ilis son to tho world, Bolleving in Obrist wasnot bollaving in salvation; tho latter.was eolflsh, which lovo was not, Ono did not bave trne faith just for the ndvantago to bo gained thoreby. Snch mighs bo tho faith of commerce ; it was not tho faith af home. Bollaving in Ohrist was bolioving in tho wholo of Him; pot meroly in His doath, but in his life ond on ss woll. No ono could no- copt IIis denth and roject His life, Thoro woa po faith in porsuading onrsolves of jour oloction to otornal lifo; Gospol faith wad to leave the whole quostion of atornal lifo with_Obrist, All of Christ’s olaim upon tho world waa fnvolved in Ilis exhibition of divino ohargotar, - What was charaoter 3 Not aminbil- ity and gihjlnnunr%mum]y, tho eonvincing proot- ot Hia love, #t'a anorifice for us,—this waaoharacter. T0 avall nurselves of His death 88 grand eplritial bargain, without imitating it, was not faith in Ohrist. Wo neoded Iis life a8 well ag His doath in ordor to have the full bonaflt of Tlis great work and worth., It was not onough to balieve that wo lind derived o grest advantage through Christ's atonomont, andto avail ourselves of that advantage, though wa had beon told this many times. 'I'his wasnot o mawving faith; thoro wus no now grace of char- aetor in it. ‘Tho poonliar bonoflt of tixo Gospol to mankind wog sbown in tho assurauco of *overlasting 1ifo™ for thoso wlio bohoved. This must nol bo naccoptod as aetunf asido tho laws of God in favor of tho ropentaut bellover; It meant, not that ho should escapoe tho tdontical conseqnonoe of bila gin, bat thot ho should escape tho oternul onalty 1 ho ahould suffer, but not perish, The oliover in Christ waa bmufht firut of all to his epiritual consciousncss; all that our soul was, or gould bocomo, was rovealed to itsolf. Thc goul revelod in a cloor, deep consciousnass of bolng splritually sweet and right. Tho essontial of eoverlasting life was the fully rostored and resolved favor of God. The atono- mont was the moving and thrilling means that God conld uso to bring our hearts back to Him- soif, With uvnr{D ronson to loathe man, tho faot that God iook this stop showed how epontnpoons IIis lovo for man was. In ordor to onjoy tho benofits of God's groat love we must do moro than to morely accopt and ac- kuowlodga tha fact. hflso for him who know all about tho Gospel and tho schoms of rodomption, and knowing, rojooted it. Howho had lived and diod with- out ever having heard of Christ, was not g0 jgnorant and hopoloss. ~Christ eamo not * to condemn tho world, but that the world throngh Him might bs saved.” He was horo as & Savior, and not 88 judgo; baé In that othier world Ho sits in full power and glory, to Judgo thoso who rejoct Him. -If & man was con- ‘domned $o doath for the violation of Moaos'law, what of him who troads under foot the precious blood of COlirist, and despisos His most§aflocting covenant of grace? SRR W THE CERISTIAN'S WORK, Scraion by tho Rev. G. W. Orofts, of Sand« wicly 1t The Rev. G. W. Crofts, of Bandwich, IIl, proached-a mormon yesterday morning at tha Eighth Prosbytorian Choreh, upor tho subjoot of Christ's chargo to Iis disoiples, Ho choso for his toxt: Tako yo heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when tho timo 18, —~3ark xii,, 83, The spoaltor said that that the text taught tho necosslty of vigilanco in spiritnal mattors; that while tho words of tho toxt might have roforrad to tho destraction of Jorusalom, yot it also had a direot roforonce to the prosont timo; tho judgmont day might bo an ovont which would not oconr for ages, yot death was practically the ond of tho world to us, and what proparation wo made must be made hera. Whon the Savior told His disciples to take hood, He wanted thom to be diligont in atriving for {hoir ownond tho spiritual wollaro of tho world ; to exorcise tho sama vigilance in relig- lon that is exorcised in tho businoss affaivy of Nfe. Inthoso tempornl !hiniu mon inveastigato and weigh matters, and in the more important mattors of tha soul, this care should bo oxatcis- ed, In tho prosont age, whon tho spirit of in- quiry was excoedingly ctive, whon thore was moto indopendonce of thought, and whon tho Pro!s made tho opportunitios for dissominating idens absolutely boundless, tho Olristian must buckle on hia armor, and by keoping himsolf fa- miliar with all the sdvancoments mado in tho world, be ablo to meot tho adyorsarics of the Qospel, and vanquish thom in thoir chogen arona of frop discussion. Tho worid was talking hosd, noting with cars ovory thought and investigafion, and it said, * A8 thoeo things go, Oristianity will die,” and, in somo way, ch\imm& onch pow discovery ng 80 much gained in opposition to Cbrlstianity. It was 80 naturnl to forgot tho treo whon we nte tho fruit, and the world forgot that these dia- covaries were but tho fruits of Christianity. In order to push on the kingdom of our Lord, wo must noto all ¢his” dovolopmout, and bring [t to its propor relation to thet kivgdom, which was ono of light and ponco. The Cliristian wus not only to tako hood to growth of grace in his own soul, but ho wns to take hoed to the advancamont of Christ's Kingdom on the earth, to the gradual, eilent workiugs .of thet lonven whiok wes destined to leaven tho whoto lump, God had not placed tho Christinn hore to bear nothing but psalms and sormons, Thoro was not au ovont which transpired in governmont aud in socioty Lut the Christian way intorosted iu that event, be it political, roliglous, suieutiflo, or litorary. Theso ovents woro but the uutward effocts of tho silont workings of those groat un- dorlylug principles whick it wus tho province of Christlanity to develop and fostor, The Christiun was God’s freeman, and ho had & right to broak up overy bond of proserigtion, and como up to tho highest attitnde of intel- ligence, and to do this be must rend up tho his- tory of 'the pust, and comparo it with tho bistory thut was makivg to-duy, = God did not convert o map gimply for the man's solf, Mon woro con- vortod to go out into the world, aud, ns thoy want, thoir Influcnce was felt iu tho oilice, tho whop, tho bauk, or tho profossion, All Chris- tinng suould so live that iy Influence shull help on the glorious enuso of Christ. = Tho Chrtian was not ouly commanded to wateh, but also to pray, The watehful Chirix- tlun wag nocossarily s praying Christinn, ‘Tho tendoncy of sin way to lull Christinuy to sloep, All our adversnry desived was that wo shall slumbor whtlo ko oarried on his work, and to this end ho mado us holievo all right, Dt whilo wo slapt ho sowed taren, Wo had somo- thing olao o do heides coming Lo clmreh on the Bubbisth and nodding ansunt Lo tho sermon, Wo should go to work in the Yord's vinoyard with atl pousiblo llite und cnargy.
