good men, will you be kind enough to define. as to

does it take to make nation? Some states are
larger than other nations. But it is no part of the
work of the American Peace Society to prevent
war between states much less between tOicns and

Mexico and Texas the American Peace Society has
something TO do; but with war between Pennsyl-

nations, or by states, by communities, or by indi

One THING CERTAlN.-Dea,h is a
theme of universal interest! The slight
est heart the least thoughtful mind, has no
disbelief Of death The distance of the
dark cloud in which he comes, sailing
through the bosom of futurity, may be
miscalculated; but the world unhesitat-
ingly owns that he is coming, and will at
last be here. In almost every other par
tieular of existence, the fortunes of men
differ; but to die is common to all. The
stream of life runs in thousand various
channels but, run where it will-bright-
ly or darkly, smoothly or languidly-it is
stopped by death. The trees drop their
leaves a, the approach of the winter:
frost man falls at the presence of death
Every successive generation he claim:
for his own, and his claim is never deni
ed. To die is the condition on which WI
hold life; rebellion sickens with hope
lessness at the thought of resisting death
the very hope of the most desperate is no
that death may be escaped, but that ne
eternal; and all thatthe young, the care
less, and the dissipated attempt, is TO thin

REORGANIZATION.

Be assured, roy young friend. that If
ever you arrive at an elevated standard of
piety, You will attribute it, as much TO a
strict and perseyering determination. as
to any other means which it is. under
God, your privilege to use. 1t is thro' a
neglect of this, that christianity makes, in
most of US. such dwarfish appearance
1t is for the want of this, that hypocrisy
vaunts itself in the habi!iGents of piety.-
1t is for the want of this that doubts, and
fears, and disquiet and backsliding, are 50
prevalent l entreat you, therefore, as
you value your peace and your improve
ment, to persevere in the faithful discharge
of duty. You will be abundantly reward

From the Gospel Witness.


The following letter will be perused
with interest as coming from one who has
long been "a soldier in the field and who
in the good fight of faith, has suffered
bonds and imprisonment, not accounting
his life dear unto himself. The favora-
BILE judgment of such man on the move
ment in favor of Bible truth, made by our
denomination in organizing an unfettered
Bible Society, may be an ample compen-
sation for all the reproaches Of those who
while they sit at ease amidst all the COM
forts Of home in a civilized land-still
rage and are confident. 1t is amidst the
horrors of idolatry, amidst the tolls and

He appeared in the pulpit as though
he had to work the work of God in the
presence of God. We have sometimes
felt this almost overpoweringly, while he
has been engaged in public prayer. 1t
has seemed as though to him the veil was
withdrawn, and that he was permitted to
enter the holiest OF all, while the congre-
CATION were praying without. AS the
deep tones of his voice tremulous with
emotion. fell on the ear, the worshipers
felt that their minister had communion
with God, and was laying their offering
at the footstool of the throne. And thus,
too, did he preach. 1t was evident that
all his powers were put in requisition =
but 1t was equally evident that in this
there was nothing Of display. 1t was not

ONION bringing before God the vessels of

that ne said was clearly designed either
tor illustrating the truth, or deepening its
impression on the heart. He preached
continually as though he had heard the
solemn words, /" Son of man, all my words

with the rich and brilliant imagery he of.

KNOWLEDGE OF cHRIsT.-How dry
and sapless are the voluminous discourses
of philosophers compared with this SEN
tence: "This is faithful saying, and wor-
thy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ
came into the world to save sinners."-
Well might ST. Paul then say, that he de-
termined to know nothing but Christ and
him crucified. Christ crucified is the IL
brary which triumphant souls will be stu
dying to all eternity. This is the true me-
dicine of the soul, which cures all Its mall
aides and distempers. Other knowledge
makes mems minds giddy and turgid this
settlesand composes them 10 thetruest view
OF themselves, and thereby to humiliation
and sobriety; other knowledge leaves
mems hearts as it found them; this puri-
fies and makes them better.
