JUDGMENT.

s.And saw the dead. small and great,
stand before God: and the books were o.
pened: aud another book was opened
which is the book q. Life: and the dead
were judged out Of these things which
were writer, in the books. according tt
their works. And the sea gave up the
dead which we're in it; and death and
hell delivered up the dead which were in
them: and they were judged every man
according TO their works. '-Revelation
Xxx. IL, 5.
Various portions Of scripture assure us
OF a day Of account; Of a day N which
God will Judge the world in righteous
ness, by that man whom he hath ordaln-
ed: whereof. he hath given assurance un-
to all men, il that he hath raised him
from the dead. Acts xvii. 81.
Let me mt mediate on the day OF
Judgment to propose questions which no
ingenuity caIl solve. but to strengthen
my faith, and to urge me to live more and
more in agreement with the gospel.
The day Of Judgment is the day of uni
yersal assembly; Discrimination: OF dis
covery; of final discovery; of final de-
cision; of everlasting separation. To
what serious and awful considerations am
led by each OF the expressions winch
have here used!
Alas: comparatively few men seem pro-
perly to mediate on this eyenttul day
How does the rich man use his wealth;
the great man his influence; and the
shcolar his learning? How do men in
general use their time and their talents
in their several stations! DO not most
