Itstenctiings, discipllue, coromoninl, accessories, a1l point to thn. Ilorein i it virtuo, and in this in its valuo as the hopo and galvation o1 the world. Whilo Christinmity shows tho way out of a stato of con- demantion and death, it earries nlong with the rescuc whatever makes tho disciplo like bis Mus- tor,~—tha Christ of God. Its naturo is sitch that it neniimiates to itself, in buman lite, oll that humanity s created to uso amd cnjoy in meterlal good and intellectund gaina. ‘Tho foundation of (he Christian life in Christ, and Cbrist in tho pattern after which it i8 Lo boe formod in s journey through time. To o, ft must nbeessarily bavo a bogluning ; but its career is ono of progress, and fts consummation ia fu tho world to come. Whon tho pura soul loavos this prosont stato for the next, wo havo 10 feas of it. Passossed of beaveoly olomonts, it"will seclc Lonven!y aflinitios, nnd no power ean kuep it from tho supremo good. In this world thare will be, of courso, great varioties of Chris. tiun development. Nouo will be abdolutoly por- foct, whilo to rango will extond from she dult and stupid soul, {n which iho divine light fsintly dawus, to the ripe and beautiful one that Ias loog walked Iutimately wih God. Thero aro natural difforonces lu tho capacity for spirityal things, and difforent gifta by tho same spirit. Now, whilo I would bo none the loss impor- tannto than auy with reapoct to calling peopla to ntart on the Christian life, what I dcslre to Liold up on {ho present occasion is the impera- tivo duty of ali to aim at tho attaiument of tho Lilieet oxcellonce for whick they aro fitted. Wo aro to talie heed how wobaild tho superstructura of chasacter, Yo aro to reach forth unto thoso thingy that ara boforo,—ara to press towards the mark for tho prizo of our high calling, and that mark, or standatd, Is the perfection ot Christ. Wo aro to add to our faith virtne; aud to virtuo knowlodgo ; aud to Knowlolgo tomperarico; and to tomgperauco pationce ; and to pationce godliness : und to godliness brotherly kind- ness ; and to brotherly kiuduoss charity, Thera must' o, for Curistiun progress, a iglh ideal,~ that ig, tho habitual aim, aud mood, aud aspira- tion, of tho man must bo exaltod. It s plain onough that one i slvays approximating to his ideals, ‘The predomioavt thought, aifcction, desite, inovitably iavo pawerful inflienco over bim. Tlo is Intgely as ho thinks.

His whole lifo 1s colored and flavored by tho unkoly and unlovoly ideal that s his stana- ard of conduct, Tho fdeal of the true, puro, beautiful soul 18 always oxalted. Whoro tho drift of feoling is gouerous aud pure : whoero tho souse of solf-ro- #pect and houor is dolicato: whore tho imnges that flock to tho mind aro of a Liud to stimulate a noblo emulation ; where ooelives in an atimos- phere of sincerily and truthfuluess, and moas- ures bis motives and acts by tho Divive stand- ards, thero ia a constant impulso to go forward, & desire for gracious improvement, a prowth into tho ataturs of tho botter man. Ior the in- tolloctual and epiritual wature thrive ou what I8 suited to their subsistouce, Tho prescuco of si:lendid examples of character, the nourishiuent of right feelivgs aud tendot and etrong affco- tions, the evolution of eympathics that direct gouerous and Lerolc acts, tho quickening of con- sclence by fts contact with diviuo truths aud tho " holiness of Gad—all this tends to oxalt aud Intensify tho idoal, and sre evidoncos of the growivg Cbristiau life, ‘The man, under such & gracious intluenco, iv con- stantly ingpired to right endeavor, ia coustantly impreseed with o senso of tho dignity and utili- lios of lifoe, The Uswma of devotion is kept alive, By his opeyness, candor, sphituality, he in zonatantly |"n'|)lmtl to discover and unjoy_the goon, 1is ploty is tho inspiration of she® Holy host.
