All public or private vices—too mich devotion Lo gold, or to tood, or drinks, or pleasure—help destroy that paselon wnich onca made herocs atd martyrs. An unworthy passton will bllzht 8 noble one, and . a_noble one will blight au Iz. nominlous love. BStory has It that Wendell Phillips was vitn and trifling, fond of feastings and the drawing-room, until, Iu his 25th year, the condition of the rlaves touched his hieart. Rumor telis us that Wilberforee began life in folly, and after e had reached full manhood was “dancing at Almack’s, and singing for the Urince of Wales”: but a counterstream—love for wil the oppressed—waa destined to flow under these two souls, and bear then away from frivolity to a thrililng elogience on behalt of man. Thus,all earth ls full of the batule between motives; and now, the fznoble purpose fails, and the noMe mounts thethrone; and agaln, the un- wunh‘vlrlunmhs andall grandeur bitesthe dust. Thus * faith in Christ " rises aud sinks, not ouly In tho fndtvidusl soul, but in the agoe or the ren- eration, No Chitreh ean eay ** [ have this falth," for, perfect although the creed muy be, yet one generation of ardent money-worship, “or sin- worship, or pleasure-worship, will make a cor- rect ereed s valueless ns to salvation us a cor- rect tablo of weights and measurca would bo valueless to saven soul or a State, As thero were powerful but foolish hands holding back the tivo phillanthropists in thelr carly years, roe stralning thelr minds and Leaven-born Instincts, #0 there are focs In every agge which retard Faith, or frivuds to Tead her forward. In our day this fulth In Chirist shiows tho absunce of s pow- erful allies. Theage Is not as rellglous oa it wus when men were persecuted for the Lord’s couse, ‘Terrible as were tho persceutions which followed the disciples, yet they show how deoply rellgious was all publle thought amd seutiment.

Thoe Chair stated that at the lgat meetlng a resolutlon was passcd excluding oltsiders. . He wanted to know If that was to be enforeed. Reveral mewmbers wanted it reconstdered. Mr. McGiivray moved that the rule bo ms- pended during this seazlon, &0 long as outsiders bebaved themsclves. Mr. Carroll rose to a pointZof order, that an objectlon toa reconsideration had been made befare the motion was put. The Chair sustained the point of order, Mr. McGilvray insisted upon his motfon belng taken cognizance of. The Chalr deciled that he could not recoguize {hie motion uutil the rule was in force. The outsiders wera then invited to leave. They left, After another roll-call had boen made Secretary Hartuey asked why the meetlog was called. Mr. Davld stated that the mectlng was called Because a great deal of objection had been made 10 the mecting held Thursday night last, and to £ce what nctlon should be taken to harmonize 1be differences and clect their ticket.

Somectimes it means fldelity, sometimes love, sometimes slmplo bellef, and thus, being multiform, it will not be caught and tmprisoucd in one scntence by any scet or by any mind, First let us note that when the new relleion came and declared a salvation by falth in Clirlst, the emphasis fell not upon tho faith but upon the Christ. Falth was not a sudden and new {nstrumentality by which tho soul was to bo jus- tified, but that this faith was to bind to Christ instond of to Mosca and the Law. was the now forn the Hebrew world had taken, Tho an. tithiests was not completa in the words faikh and virtue, but {n tho large formulas, falth in Christ and faith in Mosos.
