No man was ever scolded out of his sins.
The heart, corrupt as it is, and because it
is so, grows angry if it be not treated with
some management and good manners, and
scolds back again. A surly mastiff will
bear perhaps to be stroked, though he will
growl even under the operation, but if you
touch him roughly he will bite. There is
no grace that the spirit of self can counter
felt with more grace than religious zeal.
A man thinks he is fighting for Christ, and
he is fighting for his own notions. He
thinks he is skillully searching the hearts
of others, when he is only gratifying the
malignity of his own; and charitably sup
poses his hearers destitute of all grace, that
no may shine the more in his own eyes by
comparison. !, When he has performed this
notable task, he wonders that they are not
converted -ha has, given it to them sound
ly, and IL they do not tremble and confess
that God is in him of "a truth, he gives them
up as reprobates, incorrigible, and lost for
ever. But man, that loves me, if no sees
me in an error, will pity me, and endeavor
calmly to convince me of it, and persuade
me to forsake it. If he has great and good
news to tell me, he will not do it angrily,
and in much heat and discomposure OF
spirit. 1t is not therefore easy to conceive
on what ground a minister can justify con-
duct, which only proves that he does not
understand his errand. The absurdity of
it would certainly strike him, if he were
not himself deluded.-CowPER.
A divine, in the town of P in this

Of the crew, Holbrook, Tabor and Wilson, ran
TO the assistance of Gulickson, and they all com

brought 10 the first mate and on his interfering,
and demanding the cause of this assault, four
others of the crew came up. Iney all swoie

the cry of fire was called from the forecastle,
and flames and smoke were seen coming up the
