BISHOP JEBB's CONVERSION.

By the bye, have curious and not un-
interesting anecdote to tell you about Le-

Iation." Mr.. L. II. H--was the re-
lator of tito me, in the year 1920. "When
very young" said he, 4 unhappily had ac-
cess to a circulating library, stored with
German novels and other infdel publca-
tons. The consequence was that became
a thorough paced unbdliever; still, however,
continued diligent in business, and 70 the
utmost ofmy powers, supporting, by my
exerions scrivener, and laborious literary
drudge, family of young and helpless
orphan brothers and sisters Of mine. For
ced, prematurely, to break of my school
studies at Christ's Hospital, that might
earn livelihood for myself and them, |
still snatched an hour when could, for
classical reading; and one day met, and
took up Leland on the Advantage and Neces-
sity ofthe Christian religion. My object
in doing so was any thing but religious.
| wished, in fact, merely to read the Latin
and Greek quotations scattered over the
book. Some passages, however, from one
of the fathers struck my eye. read them,
and suddenly asked myself, What if Chris
tianity were after all to prove true! Ay,
what would then become of me2-I was
thus led to examine the book, and, by the
blessing of GoD, as had read myself iuto
in6delity, so was enabled to read myself
out OF it. then, at intervals stolen from
sleep and labor, went through long course
ofbiblical study."-Bishop Je5J.

most seldom listen to the voice of kind

demeaning coldecension to visit the lowly
