THENARRow WAY.

The following remarks on our Lords
temp.a ion, lead US to form in some degree,
a ius, idea oflhe nature of the narrow path
whict, leadeth unto life, and Of what 1t is
that makes that path narrow.
Two ofthe temptations which Satan sug
rested to our Lord were to the opposite ex.
fremes Of sin--6rst, to ditrust Gods provi-
den,iai care. /" Command that these stones
be made bread J" and when he could no.
effect This, he would cad him on to the op.
posite extreme, and tempt him to presume
upon i, Cast thyself down" And believe
me that it requires much consultation with
God in secret prayer, AMI much OF tha, d.
vine wisdom which God alone can give, 10
walk safely and steadily along the narrow
and dangerous path which alone leadeth
unto life !: and when we shun the gulf of
sin on one side, to avoid plunging into it on
the other. 1t is difficult for example, in the
conduct of our temporal concerns, to avoid
covc:ousness and undue anxiety, without
negligence, prodigality. and wasicfai extra.
vagance. In our daily intercourse with
others, it is difficult to avoid the melancholy
gloon and ssce.i: arsterisy Of superstition,

TEMPERANCE IN TENNESSEE.

We have had long conversation with a
very respectable and intelligen, friend, who
has recently returned from Tennessee, where
he had been travelling almost constantly
for four months, and had travelled about
1900 miles-and over those paris of the
state where he had IN former years been
well acquainted with the habits Of the poo.
ple. He expressed his as'onshment at the
great change that was every where aPpa.
rent. During the whole ofhs extensive
excursion, he saw Intoxicating liquor
off red for sale in only two places. He was
IN Kingston during the time of cour',-a
place formerly very much given up to dIssi.
pa,oa--indsed 10 use his own s'guIican!
expression, il was w;.cn he was last there
before, I" a real ro~dy place." But on his
recent visit. although court week. there was
no; a particle ofIiquor 10 be bought in Town,
nor did he see a man intoxicated. He sp"o,
two nights in Knoxville, one of the largest
towns in the s;ate,-not grocery or bar
was seen, and he could mol learn that any
liquor was re,siled. In Maryville, an old
suigper called on grocer who had recently
been compelled to shut up, and asked for
some whiskey. The grocer told him he
had uone-but minated that if he would
20 around to the back door, he might find
some. Bu, this proposition was Instantly
rejected with disdan. NO." said he, If
CAN'T ge. it lawfully, and above, board,
I'm not going 10 s'ea"'-so he went away
without It.
Our friend was in the State when tie de.
ci>ion of the Supreme Cosn Sustaining the
law was published. He said the effect was
astonishing. and every where decisive. The
rum sellers and dis!iIcrs had been looking
for lha, decision with confident expectation
that it would feins,ate them in their long
cherished and favortc pursuit. They there.
fore kept up their spirits till the decision was
announced when they were at once, every
where chop:fallen and gave up IN despair.
He expresses il as his decided opinion, that
the law vii! every where be- respected and
Sustained. Temp. Record

without passing ino tre opposite extreme Of

avoid the unloading ster'lness, the rude IN
cvility, the harshuess and severity Of scru-
pie, without compromise ofsirct p'Inc'Ple'

our own spiritual experience, it's difficult
to avoid legality, without spiritual slo.h ; or,
on the other hand, idolence wlthoutsplrIiual

avoid, as in the case before US, disIrust with.
out presumption ; and when the despairing-
sinner has consented to believe the free
and full promises Of the Gospel--that the
Divine mercy is able, and willing, TO pardon,
and save him from his sins--not to stretch
that mercy beyond its due limits. and per.
suade himself that It will save him in his
sins. But, blessed be God, greater is He
that is for US than he that is against US.
Gods promise is pledged to US, as to our
Lord, 10 keep US in oil our ways--ln every
path of fduy, however intricate and danger
Gus and until we quit that narrow path for
the broad way Of sin, and wilfuliy rush with.

may growl to terrify US. bu; cannot devour,
or even wound. He may solicit US to sin,
as he did our Blessed Lord. " Cast Myse3
