vious question" There is one thing,
however, that such professor Of religion
should always do, in such a case-and
another thing which he should never do.
He should always ask himself, in such
case. whether or no he possesses, 10 a re.
quisite degree, for his own Improvement
and usefulness. the patient and teachable
spirit ola christian. And he should never
infer, from his own low state of altain>
ment, that christians can never put them~
selves into position to "prove all things.
and hold fast that which is good.' Little
progress can the church militant make,till
christians can mutually confer together
and instruct each other.
But there is an important truth wrap
ped up in this common objection, after
all. 1t is only saying, in other words.
that christian union is impraclicable, be-
cause christians have not liz a sufficient
degree, the spirit Of Christ This is
doubtless, the only obstacle, and on its res
moval, the present sects of evangelical
would disappear. and all real
christians unite freely together, in the
same churches, while radical errorsts and
here,ics would be excluded. Christian

Go, sgn the Pledge! Ten thousand souls
Have felt its mighty power to save,
While DER the land torrent rolls,
Which bears them onward with ts wave!

OfpoIsoned draughts which blight and KILL
While evil Genli fill it up
With dark narcotics they dis'il.
Go, sign the PLEDGE A countless throng
Have felt its wondrous power 10 heal,
While high they raise the grateful song,
Which vies with thundel's loudest peal!
lis glad approach in peace restores
To troubled souls gentle calm;
1t heals the broken heart, and.pours
In sorrows wound soothing balm.
Go, sisn the Pledge! There virtue smiles,
And wins the soul to sun lit ways,
While with her offerings she begules
TIE hope that round her advent plays.
In white robed purity she leans
On filth, the offspring of the skies,
While industry around her CLEANS
In health and joy her golden pEize.
Go. sign the Pledge! And clear and bright
Let hope inspire with praise thy tongue,
Pure as the radiant fount Of light,
TYnen first her sweetest accents sprung!
Then peace shall beam on thee again,
And life shall be happier day,
Whilo tuning 10 hoIiel strain
The tribute Of thy heartfelt lay.
Fling forth the banner to the arr,
And high and free unfurI the sheen,
While ransomed millions guard it theter
BY countless myridds to be seen!
Go, Join the Thong who rally nigh,
Nor lie, the watchword faint or tire,
Til! thy gigantic foe sha!llie
Consuming in his native fire.
Let passion rear her hydra head
Let all thy foes their tempests fling,
Uuconquered thou shalt victor tread,
While to thy promise thou shalt cling!
Then, sign thepedge! Whose cheering light
Shall shed its brillance over thee,
And in thy heart triumphant write

A NOBLE EXAMPLE 1t twas an excel.
lent resolution of President Edwards that
if he ever lived to be an old man, he would
endeavor to avoid what he had observed
to be common error of old men, namely,
an unwillingness 10 hear any new views,
or to change their opinions, on the pre-.
senlasion of sufficient reasons for such
change. What Edwards resolved to do,
Emmons was remarkable for performing.
At The advanced age of eighty eight, he
readily perused the arguments offered by
the then feeble and despised band of abos
litionisis, against the Colonization Society,
which until then he had patronized. And
the result was his utter and public aban.
donment of that scheme and his open iden.
tifcation with the aboilionists, by presid-
ing, as he did, soon after, at the opening
of the annual meeting of the American
Antislavery Society in the city of New
York. How few instances Go we find on
record, of similar character The rea-
son is, few christians arc trained 10 habits
of candid, patient investigation. or have
ever been taught 10 make i! part Of their
piety to be constantly increasing in know-
edge, and keeping their minds open to
conviction. A plentiful crop of dogma.
tism, bigotry and unreasonabeness has
been, and still is, the result.-CAristian

The YANKEE. Il calculate I can't
drive trade with you to day. said
true specimen of the Yankee pedler as
he stopped at the door of a merchant in
Main street.
Il calculate you calculate about right,
for you cannot was the sneering reply.
'Wal, | guess you needn't get huffy a.
bout it. Now here's dozen real genu-
inc razor strops, worth two dollars and
half-you may have 'em for two dol
Iars'
Il tell you don't want any of your
trash; so you had better be going
Wal, now declare, I'll bet five dol
lars if you make me an offer for them are
strops we'll have trade yet.
Done replied the merchant placing
the money in the hands of bystander.
The Merchant offered him plcayune
for the strops.
They're yourn,' said the yankee, as
he quietly fob'd the stakes. But, he ad-
ded with great apparent honesty, cal
culate joke is a joke, and if you don't
want them strops, I'll take them back
The merchants countenance bright
ened.
You're not so bad chap after oil;
here are your strops, give me the mon
ey.' ..
'There it isl said the Yankee, as he
received the strops, and passed over tho
picayune. "A trade is trade, and now
you are wide awake in airnest; l guess
the next time you trade with that are pic,
you'll do little better than to buy ra,
zor strops'
And away walked the pedler with his
strops and his wager, amid the
shouts of the laughing crowd ST. Lou

AN OBJECTION TO CHRISTIAN UNION.
One of the most common and plausible
objections urged against the organizing
oil christians into the same churches while
they disagree on some minor points Of
doctrine or practice is, that by coming in
constant contact together, they would be
ia constant contention.
This objection assumes that christians
have not a sufficient degree Of the Spirit Of
Christ to converse together on the subjects
Of their differences. And it may be con-
ceded that those who make this objection
are most commonly in a position that
could scarcely fail TO lead them to such an
assumption. Very seldom, if ever, will
you hear this objection from professor of
religion who will not betray the fact, in
the very same conversation in which he
urges the objection, that he, himself cam
not easily converse with those from whom
he differs, without petulence, arrogance, or
anger. Perhaps, after having urged his
objections, with no small degree of excite
ment, he will preclude you from making
any reply by turning on his heel abruptly
wilh--"We Ind better drop the subject
We shan't agree" No marvel that such
an one should conclude that christians
cannot safely converse with christians from
whom they differ.
If professor of religion finds tina! he
cannot converse with christian brother
without losing his temper. it is doubtless
prudent for him 10 decline it, and he had
better do so before firing his own shot, and
then springing upon his brother the pre-.
