fore death shall snatch thou away, would not this make you ad-
dress them day and night till they were persuaded ?
We look on miserable souls, and pass by, as the priest and Levitt
by the trounded man. What though the sinner wounded by sin,
and captivated by Satan, do not desire thy help himself yet his
misery cries aloud. if GOD had not heard the cry of our miseries,
before he heard the cry of our prayers, and been moved by his own
pity, before he was moved by our importunity, we might long have
continued the slaves of Satan. You will pray to Gon for them, to
to open their eyes and turn their hearts: and why not endeavour
their conversation, if you desire it ? And if you do no desire it,
why do you RA it ? Why do you not pray them to consider and
return as well as pray GOD to convert and turn them ? If you
should see your r.eighbour fallen into a pit, and should pray to Gon
to take him out, but neither put forth your hand to help him, nor
once direct him to help himself, would not any man censure you
for cruelty and hypocrisy ! It is as true of the soul as the
body.
An idle and impatient spirit hindereth many of us in the per-
formance of this duty. It is an ungrateful work they say, and
sometimes makes men our enemies. Besides it seldom succeeds
at the first, except it be followed on. We must be long teaching
the ignorant, and persuading the obstinate. We consider nut what
patience GOD used towards us, when we were in our sins. Woe to
us if GOD had been as impatient with u', as we are with others.
But that all who fear Gon may be excited to do their utmost to
help others to this blessed rest, let me entreat you to consider the
following motives. As, for instance,—not only nature, but espe-
cially grace, disposed the soul to be communicative of gt;od. There- SUGAR..--There is rather more doing in the market for plantation

No. 6. "The Royal Vault."—This is an exact representation
of the last home on earth of the Royal Family of England. The
tint is the late Duke of Kent, placed in the second tier on the left
hand of the spectator; next on the same line is the late Princess
Charlotte, with her infant placed by her side; three, the Duchess
of Brunswick, sister of George 111. The central niche at the upper
end is appropriated to King George 11l ; ou his right is his Queen ;
on his 1, to Princess Amelia ; and on the extreme right and left aut.
the Princes Octavius and Alfred, who died young. In the lower
recess Is the late Duke of York; and on the immense maride plat.
form in the centre is placed his late Majesty, his coffin surmounted
by the crowns of England and Hanover. There is a sombre effect
in this scene which harmonises well with the solemn character of
the place and makes it appear like reality, and tempts us to exclaim
