such have been the vows, ifthey have been
any thing better than hypocrisy, which
we have been often presented to our ador-
able Redeemer at his throne, and at his
tabler.
Can we then bear TO think that there is
any part of his will concerning US which
we do not fulfil; that in any line ofactivi-
ty he has marked out for us we are slug
glsE and ineffective? Is this our fidelity 10
the vows we have so frequently implored
him to accept? Is this our evidence of
grace? Is this our kindness to our friend
and the Ietum we are content to make
him for his love2 Forbid it, all that is in
fuential in gratitude, or faithful in friend
ship, or sincere In piety.
But ltthere be force in such a ref1ec-
ton IN reference to any part of Gods will g,
how much more when it applies to par
hcular Of pre-cminent magnitude! Our
activity for the conversion of others is no
TRIVIAL thing with him. Next TO our own
salvation, it is the chief end for which he
has called US by his grace and it is the
grand use TO winch he has intended to put
us IN the world. 1t is an object of the ct
most importance in his view, and of the
highest 6 lory to his name; an object on
which he has concentrated all the coun-
sells Of eternity, on which he has expcnd,
ed the amplcst resources of his nature,
for which he has poured forth the blood
OF his Son, and to which he is bending the
whole administration of his Providence
And is it to his purpose in such point
as this that we can be Indifferent? Is it
here that we fail to sympathize with him,
or are low in coming forth to his help
Is it to the losing Of our SAVIOR that we car
by any possibility be reconcilcd, and to al
entire unaptness for the intended and blcs
sed process ofscasonjng with grace cor
rupted world Alas! fit be 50, our hearts
are not right with God: and whatever
portion Of such spirit there may be in US
it ought to be matter of deep humilia

Noro therefore go, and | will be with thy
mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt
say" This strength, vouchsafed to Mo-
ses and to Paul, is graciously preferred to
US, and the more we can teach our chill
dren to act under its guidance, the better
will our plans for their Improvement
prosper.
Iwould by no means assert that chill
dren are to be left to encounter difficulties
alone. Parents should be as pioneers to
smooth their rugged path!' Is a child
required to make its first effort at compost
ton? How easy for the parent to read an
interesting story, and permit the child to
put on paper, what she can recollect oft.
Or, at a more advanced age, the parent
can afford subject, with Its heads and
outlines, illustrated by interesting hints
and anecdotes, and. with this assistance,
the child easily fills up the picture. 1t is
important that maternal watchfulness
should guide and direct every effort which
children are required to make. A friend
mentioned to me that when boy of eight
years ofage, he was placed at school of
some celebrity, a thousand miles from
home Hele he was required to write, at
stated periods, to his guardian, a gentle
man ofhigh standing, wealth, and infu
ence. Upon one occasion, having moth
ing to say, he retired with his pen, ink.
and paper, TO the staircase, in order to a.
void the noise of his companions, where
he idgeted from one step to another, hop
ing that each would produce some idea
But change of place produced no change
in the barrenness Of his head, and he re-
tired IN despair to bedroom, where he
accidentally found book Of letters, writ,
ten by a reverend gentleman, to young
friend just commencing life. From these
he chose the first which came to hand,
and after carefully copying it, despatched
it to his guardian congratulating himself
on his success in letter-writing. Three
weeks after, an answer was returned to
the individual under whose care he was,
with copy Of the boys letter enclosed,)
containing a most severe rebUke; for, up
on examination, it was found that the lit.
Tile fellow had given his guardian long
lecture upon morality, honesty, integrity
of character, and uprightness in all his
dealings. Here the object, that is, the
writing ofthe letter, was attained; but as
no judicious hand directed the effort, per-
haps it had better not have been accom-
plished.
Let US, then, be careful to insist upon
effort in the nursery, and atthe same time
to direct it, The habit Of overcoming diff
icultes here will, in after life, show itself
If, perchance, the Spirit of God should
create in the mind desire to proclaim
glad tidings" in the dark places of the
earth, the energy Of the man will cause
him to smile at The obstacle of river,
mountain, or track]ess sea; nay, though
greater obstacles than these present them
sclves, he will say, II am read y, not to
be bound only, but to die for the name of
the Lord Jesus" AMIGA

PERSONAL EFFORT FOR THE
SALVATION OF SOULS.

When the disciples of Christ are not in
vigorous action for the salvation Of sin.
ners it illustrates an important part of the
design Of their conversion.
The chief end of God in conversion is
the glory of his holy name, through Je-
aus Christ: but there are also to Lc an
swcrcd subordinate ends, in the attain
ment Of which, Ill truth, the accomplish
mcnt of the primary object is Involved
The fist of these is the eternal blessed
ness of the sinner himself; the next is his
utility as an instrument Of converting 9TH
crs Redeemed sinners are the very a
gents. and the on y agents which. the AL
mighty forms for the conversion Of the
world. He lights the candle that it may
shed light around. He has seasoned US
with grace, that we may season the earth.
Let it be set down by u.s. therefore, as a
certain and weighty truth, that cur use
fulncss in the sa walton of others was the
second, and but the second great end he
contemplated in our own. 1t is one of the
grand methods by which he has designed
US to show forth his praise.
Now nothing can be more binding anC
nothing ought to be more delightful, thar
to fall in with Gods design respecting US
and to fulfil the good pleasure ofh!s will
The force of all the mercy, the rich anc
unspeakable mercy, which he has shown
US, leads US in this direction, according t.
the language of the apostle, L beseecl
you brethren, by the mercies of God, tina
ye yield yourselves living sacrifice, hoI,
and acceptable, which is your reosonabl

ATONEMENT.
Continued.

Our first inquiry, in entering on the dis
cussion Of this subject, is, what are we to
understand by atOnement? AS our au-
thor has given no definite account of this
term, we regard his discourse defective in
this particular. The following appears to
us as the true account Of the word atone
ment The Hebrew word, which is now
translated into the English language, by
,the word atonement, is GOPHER and signi-
fies, TO eOrer. As noun, it signifies, a
eocering. The Hebrew word atonement
was translated into the Septuagint by the
seventy, by the Greek word iiasmos, which
also must signify, eOrcring. This Greek
word ilasm0s is translated into our Eng
lish Bibles, by the word atonement, or
precipitation, and not reconciliation. By
Precipitation, or atonement then, we mean,
that whieh IN a .giueR case makes ii proper
Gai just for God to exercise his mercy IN
torgiping sin. BY giren case, | mean
on certain conditions, that is, on repent,
'ance ana faith. These conditions being
complied with, God IS just and vet the
1'jdstifier Of him that believeth; on account
OF the atonement Of his Son. Had nc
atonement been made, how could the sin
.ner present himselft to God, with any hop,
or acceptance, even had it been with re
peu,ahce and faith?
Here it may be proper to notice, what
shall denominate an erroneous view ofth
atonement that seems to have existed i
the mind Of the essayist; and which ha
given character to his entire essay. Whe
considering the fourth partofhis discours
be maintains. that, "where atonement
made. the pardon Of those for whom Il
made, Immediately and invariably follows
Here Is advanced the same sentiment th

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.

The love Of religious liberty is strong
or sentiment, when fully excited, than an
attachment to civil and political fcedom.-
That freedom which the conscience COM
mvnds, and which men feel bound by their
hopes of salvation to contend for, can
hardly fail to be attained. Conscience is
the cause of religion, and the worship of
the Deity prepares the mind TO act and to
suffer, beyond all other causes. 1t some
times gives impulse 50 irres s'ible, that
no letters of power or Of opinion can with
stand it.
History instructs that this love of reli-
gious liberty, is compound sentiment of
the breast of man, made up of the clearest
sense of right, and the highest conviction
Of duty, is able to look the sternest despot-
ism in the face, and with means apparent
v most inadequate, to shake principali-
lies and powers There is boldness Of
spirit and daring, in religious reformers,
not to be measured by the general rules
which control mems purposes and actions.
1.-THE hand of power be laid upon 1t.
this only seems to augment It's force and
elasticity, and to cause It's action to be
more formidable and terrible. Human
invention has devised nothing, human
power has composed nothing. that can
forciblv restrain it, W hen it breaks forth
Nothing can stop it, nothing can check it
but indulgence. 1t loses its power only
when it has gained its object,
The principle Of federation to which the
world has come so slowly, is at once the
most wise Of principles. Even when re-
ligious feelings take character OF extrav-
agance and enthusiasm, and seems to
threaten the order of society, and shake
the columns orthe social edlfce, its prin-
cipal danger is in its restraint. Lit be a.
lowed INDULGENCE and expansion, like the
elemental fires it only agitates and puri-
Ses the atmosphere, while its efforts to
throw off restraint would burst the world
as,,nder. Thanks be to God, that our
country was honored as the asylum OF re-
ligious liberty.
May it's standard, reared here, remain
forever! May it raise up as high as
! heaven, tillhs banner shall fan the air of
both continents, and wave as a glorious
ensign of peace and security to the nations.

"REMEMBER ME-"


Tony friend B. E.
Remember me-but not to men,
Who aatter only to betray,
Who utter falsehood and again,
Repeat the SANDER Of the day;
Who cover before the oppressor's frown,
And court the great so cringingLy;
But tread the poor and helpless down;
To such o, don't remember me.
Remember me-but not to those,
W no never felt another's grief,
Whose heart with friendship never CLOVIS
Nor feel it JOY to give relief;
But when you meet friend of thine
Who loves so true-so ardently-
Who feels friendship just like mine
Then greet him, and remember me
Remember me-not at the hour,
When passions host has thrown her spell;
And thouart languored by the power,
Of-what would grieve thee should tell
But, when victor, thou at last,
Regain thy lost tranquility,
With deep repentance for the past,
.! then, pray, remember me.
Remember me--but not when thou,
Encircled by joyous throng,
Shalt at the shrine Of beauty bow,
Or listen to the festive song;
I" But when the thoughtless crowd are gone,
"And hushed the noise Of senseless glee,"
And thy young heart is still and lone
In silence, then-remember me.
Remember me-but not with loud
And boisterous mirth-too joyously--
While thy bright sun without cloud,
Rides proudly up thy morning sky;
But when the shades Of life appear,
And earthly scenes are dark to thee,
And thou art griered and sad and drear-
All! then you may remember me.
Remember me-but not till thou
Hast sought and found-thy sins forgiven
In much submission lowly bow,
And pressing ON thy way to Heaven;
Then, while repeptant tears shall flow,
And JOY shall bid thy sorrow fee,
With holy love thy bosom glow,
Q! then, dear friend, remember me
AMOS.
