THE INFLEXIBLE FATHER,

= IN the year 1926, James Lynch Fitz.
stephen, merchant, being elected MAYOR
OF Galway, in Ireland, sent his only son
commander of one of his ships to Bilboa
In Spain, for cargo of wine. Former
dealings at this place were the means of
recommending the fathers credit. which
young Lynch took advantage of, to Sc.
crete the money for his own use. which
his father entrusted him with for the pur-
chase OF the cargo. The Spaniard, who
supplied him on this occasian, sent his
nephew with him TO Ireland, to receive
the debt, and establish further CORES
pondence. The young men, who were
much OF an age, sailed together with that
seeming satisfaction which congeniaI sit
uations generally create among mankind.
Open and generous, the Spaniard antici-

MORAL OBLIGATIONS.

Any one would reasonably imagine,
Astounding as the world does, in hume
rous, varied, and inevitable real ills, that
the brotherhood of mankind, influenced
by sympathy and piety, would invaria-

to increase the severity Of human suf-
terings. UnhappiIy, however, we too
frequently find it otherwise; and that

selves with the principles inculcated in
the sacred volume, at least without adj
verting TO the tendency of those princi.
pies, or pursuing them in their conse-
quences. 1t is doubtful whether this
class OF men ought to be distinguished
from that of infdels. since they admit
the truth of the Bible only when their
opinions and practice happen not to be
contradlcted by it; but instantly ques-
ton its authenticity, and call aloud for
evidence, whenever they are required
by it to assent to unwelcome truths. or

denial--Trovided they cannot explain
away these hard sayings" Not how
ever, to dispute their claim to the char
acter of believers, let us consider in
what light they will probably appear to
the Divine Being. His great object by
means OF a revelation, which was TO
bring back their hearts to Himself, and
to &c set their affections on things above"
is IS much unatta;ned in their case, as
il that of unbelievers. Will he tamely
'acquiesce in the failure Of an end so i'm.
portant to his glory. 70 the good of soci-
ETY., and to the ultimate welfare of indi-
viduals? Will he be pleased with their
open declarations in his favor, while
he plainly oVerhears what they say
aside to their fellow creatures, or at
least in their own hearts? Will he be
content to see them stand lifeless and
inactive, merely because the labels at.
tached to their mouths are correct and
appropriate ? Will their zeal in, main

its contents, or at least for their inatten.
ton to its meaning and spirit? The n.y.
pocrisy of the nominally religious man
may be no less offensive to the Deity.
than the wilful blindness of the infdel.
In respect of sloth, and disaffe ction to
the cause of truth and righteousness,
they are perhaps equal. In another re-
spect, the guilt of the former seems
greater. In doubling the authenticity
of a work, till proper evidence can be
procured, no disrespect to the author is
necessarily implied, since impositions
are too often attempted, the case Of
revelation itself not excepted; whereas
ne who disregards that which he ac-
knowledges to be divine communica-
ton, cannot be otherwise than guilty
both Of tie most glaring inconsistency
with himself, and also Of directly offer
ing the grossest affront to the Supreme
Being.-Baymaide.
