RESISTING TIE SPIRIT.

y solemn charge brought against his per-
sccu,orS of the Jewish council and nation
by the martyr Stephen, was that they dld
"always resist the Holy Ghost" In tins
respect he alleges that they followed the
example of their fathers, ''aS your fathers
did so do yc." Without attempting to
point ont all the ways in which the holy
Ghost is resisted, and gracious influences
quenchcd and banishcd, it is poIat OF
some interest to know what particular thing
Stephen had in his eye when he made his
app~a! to the Jews.
1t was remarkable feature ia the his
tory of the Jews that they had gradually
subycrtcd the appointments and institutions
of God, and substituted their own invcn-
