THE MONITOR.
"And I Vas afraid, and ruent and hid my

talentfn the earth"
The intent of the parable from which this
is extracted, isto inculcate on all, the duty
ofimproving to the utmost, the mower and
talents which the beuehcent Author of eve.
~ good aud perfect gift has bestowed on
them. The reward of him who diligently
improved his FIVE talents, holds our a strong
inducemen, to industry and zeal 10 the tx.
crcise of the powers we possess for the be-
neht OF society, The punishment of him
who wos afraid and hid his talent, should
caution US against the danger to which we
expose ourselves, when-because we con-
slider our talents as few or smsll-we are
dfraidto exercise them 10 any manner which
NAV conduce to the benefit of mankind, and
like the person with one talent in the parable.
hide Their in the earth; mother words, d.
rect their use onl, to the qualification of our
selfish, sofdid, earthly appetites. There
was never a time when it was not in the
po.er of most or all men to add something
to the stock of general knowledge or hspp,.
ness, by the exercise of the talent, however
small, with which he is entrusted. True.
the opportunity does not every day occur to
every one alike but if he be alive to a
sense of his obligations to impart to others
"a portion OF what he caR spare without loss
to himself, no one but may at some time
hnd sufficient opportunity to do good. If
silver and gold he have none whereby he
may relieve the wants of the necessitous,
yet his example may be exhibited to inhu.
ence others to follow those things which
pertain to their peace, or his voice may be
raised to call the hayward from his devious
path. Occasions are never wanting for the
exercise OF all the talents which good men
possess. Admonition, warning, reproof,
IT well directed and seasonably applied, can
never be lost for want of fit subjects; and
when were subjects more numerous, or oc.
casions more pressing than the present day ?
The gigantic strides, which vice, irreligion
end inhdeliry have made and are still max.
ing 10 our land, impose a solemn obligation
on every friend to the happiness of mankind
every well wisher to the good order and
peace OF society, every one possessed Of
the least regard TO the commands of his God
and the interests of the religion of his Re.
deemer, to cry aloud and spare not-to
raise his voice in the streets, in the wilder
ness and solitary places-to plant his foot
on the rock, and boldly breast the over.

triendt to his God-letthe patriot, the friend
to his suffering degraded country, be ut
