rentallnstruction is necessarily inadequate;
Tor, before 1t can become general. the
whole population must first be reformed.
AT present, the most anxious care of a
mother is rendered abortive by the perhe-
cIous, yet most powerful, influence and ex-
ample of school associates. What pre-
clous fruits should we not have reason 10
expect, il this malign influence were to be
superseded by the beneficial one which
would NATURAL arise from the universal
development and discipline of the con-
science in early youth if ecery child
were to be accustomed from infancy TO look
inward, TO know himself, to keep his

Is your proper office to publish-the word
decentralization. You will not hide under
bushel those doctrines which the apostles
were commanded TO proclaim to every
creature, and which you yourselves are
ordained to preach but you will 'open the
whole of your message without reserva

your ministry, every one of you may have
confidence to say Lord, [ have not hid
thy righteousness within my heart; have
not concealed by loving kindness and
truth from the great congregation All
your exhortations to repentance, all your
encouragements to hope, all your dec
IarationS of Gods mercy to sinners

your ministrations, you will never recon-

will be unjust still; and he that is filthy
will be filthy still. The doctrine of the
crucidxion is the only doctrine which,
being accompanied by the Holy Spirit,
changes the heart, overcomes the preiu-

them to repentance for sin, sanctifes and
puri6es the affections, and produces real
love to God.-W. J. Cheshire. -. ..a.
