CONVERSION.

A most interesting instance of CONVEX
sion occurred through the instrumentality
of DR.. Malan.' A lcentia.e Of the church
of Scotland was present, of whom DR..
Malan had inquired personally, if he pos
sessed the love of Christ. The young
gentleman opposed Dr.. Malan's views with
great heat and argument, and at length
begged him to go into private room that
they might converse together with more
freedom. When they had shut the door,
the licentiate proposed prayer. NO. said
DR.. Malan, Il will not pray aUith you, for
1 am convinced that you know not the
love of Christ; but | will pray for you;
and they knelt in prayer. The argument
was then continued for great length Of
time, but such was the effect of Dr.. Ma
lan's address, that when they returned TO
the company, the licentiate was in great
agitation, and did not conceal his excite
ment. When he went to his lodgings, in
stead Of retiring to bed, he sat down 10
write a refutation Of DR.. Malan's views,
with clearness and power of argument,
as he thought such as he could not COM
mand in conversation, and he continued
writing ill four o'clock in the morning
Then, when he rose and looked at his
manuscripts, and ran over his train of
reasoning, sudden flash of conviction, a
light like that which shoue on the mind Of
Paul in his wy to Damascus, poured upon
him, that he had been fighting against
God, and was, indeed, guilty, wretched,
pcrishing sinner. lie threw himself upon
his knees, implored forgiveness through
the hloud of Christ, and that very hour
obtained peace in his Rcdeemer. When
he arose, and looked at his watch, he
found that it wanted but little of the time
when Dr.. Malan was to take his departure
in the mornings coach. He hurried away,
and finding him at the door Of his house,
just ready to set out embraced him as his
spiritual father. declaring that he had ne
yer known Christ till that morning. That
same Individual is now devoted minister
of the Lord Jesus in the city of Glasgow.

THE DYING HOUR.

If the experience of ihe dying houi
could be faithfully written, the thoughts
that then fill the brain, like the last inha-
bitants of crumbling temple, and The
feelings that then occupy the chilled heart
be revealed to the eye Of sense, what
view would be displayed. The period oi
dissolution brings with it emotions OF
peculiar character. There are at that time
operations through which the soul never
before passed. Nothing appears i'll Its old
aspect. Like splendid hall whicn has
been hung in new drarery, each object
wears new dress. Opinions which the
strongest force of argumenlcould not COM
pel TO withdraw from the mind, then has
tily depart; prejudices that rooted Them
selves more and more deeply al every at
tack, then bend over the biasl-cherlshed
feelings, that the bosom ha.i ever clung to-
then are hated; and desires that have ever
found home beside affections altar, then
are banishcd. What fearful change is this
that then befalleth the spirit! Are the
faculties then so weakened as 10 prevent
it from thinking and feeling Alright? No, it
now sees things as they are. Faisehood
has ceased to obscure its vision. Truth,
long deprived Of her authority, long fore
ed TO crouch like slave, obtains her rig ht-
full station, and shows that the pretended
nature of the world is very unlike its real
character. o, what an hour is this! When
the soul is aroused 10 The true relation oi
obiects-when mistakes are seen, but
alas too late for correction-when eter-
nity's importance and awe enter into the
decisions, wishes and feelings of the mind!

sand occasions, she now acquiis herself
with fidelity. Omits she now to enroll
the record which her hand had so often

bloweth an uncertain sound?" Li(e's
history her tongue now repeats-scenes,
forgotten scenes are recalled, and buried
events are brought up bef're the eye
Over the long path which we have made,

on some dark deed; there she shows ano-
ther way into which passion hurried us.

and fond bosoms on which we rested been

acts of generosity? Has the desolation OF

The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.

The name of these pills originated from the cir
cumstance of the medicine being found only in the
cemetaries of Persia. This vegetable production
being of peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. in half CEN
tury it became an established medicine for the dis
eases OF that country. The extract of this sngu
lar production was introduced into some parts of Eu
rope in ,he year 1888, and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing Certain diseases, where ali 9TH
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1892 the extract was combined with a certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir-
able effect of this compound upon the human sys-
teni, led physicians and families into its general
use. Their long established character their univer
sal and healing writes, the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the glandular
part of the SYSTEM are such as will sustain their re-
putstion and general use in the American Repub-
lie.
