From the Pastoral Address of the Bishops Of
the Episcopal Church, 1888.

The schote Truth--There is danger. from
the infrmily of our natures, of being too
much influenced by dislike of some doc
trines, or tenets, or by par,ialty for others,
and Of giving by forced construction, to pas.
sages Of the Scriptures the sense which we
prefer, rather than that which the Divine
Spirit intended. 1t is natural, and not un.
common, with serious and well.meaning
Christiano. TO cite chiefly the texts which
seem best to agree with their own views !;
10 confirm their tavouri,e, or the creed dis.
tinctive principles of their:own sect or de.
nomination 10 urge them much, and dwell
upon them, while they neglect, or more sci.
dom refer to such passages as seem 10 be
less favourable TO their own sentiments.
We should be aware Of this weakness, and
of the evils which it produces, beng ever
ready and desirous to teach and 10 hear the
truth, and the whole truth, as i, is in Jesus
hris:, though il may NJ: be according 70
sr own ~Tiefom.

" LEST WHEN THOU HAST EATEN AND ART

4 singular caution this, one would say
who knew ching of the effects of sin.
What? snail the reception of benefits cause
the g;ver 10 be forgotten! Shall father
sav 10 his son, MY son, am afraid TO
grant YOU this favor which you request OF
.ae, lest it should make you disodent and
uagratefal Z" Shall king say to his sub

Yet God must say 10 his people, 8 Lest

that thou hast is multiplied, then thy heart

which brought thee forth of the land OF
Esypt, from The house of bondage" &c.
Such is the wondrous power of Sill, which
can thus change, as it were, the very course
Of nature, and extract evil from the choicest
blessings. With q perverse ingenuity.

poison from that which in itself good Just
as bodily sickness converts into poison ana
death the food which nourIshes and strength.

And as in such case it is kindness IN
the physician 10 withhold the food which
might become an occasion of destrac-
tons, so is it compassion in God which
induces him to keep from his children
those blessings which he sees they would
not use arght. Aud here you may see,
disciple Of Christ,-,he explanation Of a
difficult which has often perplexed YOU

wou! rejoice to employ IN the service OF
C':lrist. Be assured you have as much as
you uouM employ 10 his service just as
much as would be really a blessing to!you.
God sees that ifyou had more you would
coayert it into curse, BY suffering your
Eeart to be lifted up, and forgetting Him ;
therefore hs wiihholds it. And ilhe should
bestow it upon you before you are pre-.
pared TO use it aright, it would bo for the
same reason that he dealt thus with the
children ofIsrael, "thas may humble thee
and prove thee, and know all that is in thy
heart"
But for the stubborn sinner, what
is left 4? what remains but that those
whom kindness cannot move shall be sub.

where grace cannot conquer when God
has doue all for his vineyard that he Gu!

cessary, and music.
The scholastic year will embrace two sessions
of % weeks each. The tuition for each OF "hlch
will be required in advance nor Will allowance
be made for any other than unavoidable with
drawals.
The rates oftuition are various according 10
grade, but perhaps more reasonable than al any
other Institution of equal respectability IN the
state. Whilst Board may be attained In the oest
houses, Public or Private ut from ~ 10 2lu
per month. ~,
These literary facilities presented in the VII.
lage of Bennettsvle, distinguished tor health,
morality, sociability and refinement, the Board
ofTrustees confidently deem sufficient to induce
extensive patronage. -,
aiTo the surrounding country, to whose libor-
ality aud patronage each department of the In
sti,ntion is already indebted for its commodious
structure and eminent respectabiity the Board
think it unnecessary to make an appeal a. ieaai'
ly might they suppose that luxury when oo-
tanned would not be enjoyed: but to those VINO
in absence of such facilities have TO seek them
abroad, this advertisement is more partlcuiorly
directed.

ANecDorE OF A CHILD,--A gentleman
was, some little time since, called upon 70
visit a dying female. He quickly obeyed
the call and, en'ering the humble cottage
where she dwelt, he heard in an adjoining
room, IN infant voice. He listened, and
found that it was the child Of the poor dying
woman, engaged in prayer" 20 Lord,
bless my poor mother" cried the little boy /;
:" and prepare her to die. o God, | thank

and may 60 there too! o Jesus, pity .
poor child, and pity my poor dear mother,
and help me TO say THY WILDE done = "
He ceased, and the visi;er opening the door,
approached the bedside Of the poor woman.
-"Your child has been praying with YOU"
said he :" have listened to his prayer"
Yes, said she, making an effort 10 rise,
he is a dear child ,hauk God he has
been sentt sunday school. cannot read
