LAMBS.

"Behoid, / send you forth as Lambs among
wofpes," LUXE Y, m,-How beautiful and
innocent, how useful and inoffensiye, yes.
how unresisting is the lamb! In the voice Of
the wolf there mingles a fend-tone, that rinps
an alarm of terror and carnage; but the blea-
tings of the lamb awaken the tenderest svm-
palhles of the soul, and we hasten to save
our " darling from the power of the dor."-
Among the animal creation nothing is more
peaceable and lovely than the lamb. There
fore is it the fttest emblem of Christ. who
was called the "Lamb of God" "A lamb
without blemish and without spot" His
disciples, also, are frequently represented un-
der the figure of sheep and lambs. How af-
feeling His love-;est with Peter, "Feed nv
lambs" And Isaiah speaks of His carrying
the lambs in His bosom.
How submissive and gentle is the true
christian convert! The hardest war-thouubt
In his soul, even when called to contend with
the devil, is, "The Lord rebuke hee."-

ALTERING THEIR TIME.-The Italians keep
their time from one to twenty-four. The
Pope has ordered the clocks TO be so regula-
ted as to make only twelve hours. A Lon
don paper remarks
"The Pope has adopted a plan of testing
the extent to which he can go in innovations
with the Italians. He has ordered the clocks
to be regulated so as to mark only twelve in
stead of twenty-four hours. Changes in the
calculation of time are the most difficult; and
if this effect does not weaken his popularity
he has gained a great victory. The French
Directory could not establish ten hours as
the diurnal rotation, nor could Napoleon in
the height Of his power"

NICHOLSON.

In reference to the above letter from our
friend V. Nicholson, we will briefly say,
that it is not the abolitionists in the Liberty
party-those We mean who are seeking for
light, as they who got up the meetings he
spoke of evidently were, that our condemna.
tons apply to, for we regard such as aboli-
iionlsts at heart, though they are in a p~ro-sla-
very positionj but friend Nicholson certain
ly can discover the difference between them
and those who played the domagoguo at
Newport, together with those who ran from
the meeting, fearing that their party would
be Injured by listening to anti-sIavery truth. !

The Pittsburgh Christian Advocate.

When the benighted traveller is vending
his way amid dangers that beset him on eve
ry side, knowing not where his steps may
lead him, or what gulf may swallow him up;
when his fond belief that he is on the road to
safety, does not lessen his danger of meeting
with sudden Obstruction, amid the darkness
around, above and below, should a flash of
light but for a moment reveal to him the pit
fall, the precipice, and the yawning abyss,
giving him at the same time a glimpse of the
straight and narrow path to safety, his feet
may be directed into that path and he led out
of darkness and danger.
So with those whose minds are benighted,
whose souls are dark, who are nearing the
rocks of Iistruction-the pitfalls of ruin. and
the yawning abyss Of misery and woe-who
pursue a pathway unlit by divine light,
should a ray of heavenly light shine in upon
their minds, if they but turn their eyes to
that light, and guide their steps by it, they
may yet be saved.
Though the editors of the Pittsburgh
Christian Advocate are pursuing a dangerous
pathway, and are evidently verging towards
the yawning abyss-the rocks of destruction,
yet a late editorial in that paper gives evil
dence that a ray Of heavenly light has been
shining IN upon their minds. But whether
they will turn to that light and be guided by
its pure rays, or whether they, loving dark
ness rather than light, will close their eyes
to it, and remain groveling in darkness and
guilt, remains yet to be seen.
In the Advocate of December 9th, when
speaking of the evangelical alliance, they
say:
However important formularies of faith
may be, the DOrH al large ca1 more readily
appreciate The vahle 9pracEcal beneeolenee.-
And this, when they see it in connection
with a scriptural faith, will enhance the val
ne of both. "Let your light so shine before
men, that seeing your good works they may
glorify your father who is in heaven"
So far as Christians themselves are con-
cerned, the discovery Of the points in which
they agree, and the fact that they can wor-
ship together, and receive together the renew
ings of the Holy Ghost, shed down upon
them abundantly through Jesns Christ, must
be Of ineslimable value, and qualify them for
those wide fields of labor which still lie
waste. But tie unconrerted and suffering

(We think our friend Ide's views of Chris
tianity would prevent the use of the only
means which are adapted to the end, the
means necessary to e%nslave human beings,
viz the dog, the gun, the dungeon, the blood
stained cow-hide, the whipping post, the
hand-cuG, the iron collar, the tiumb-screw,
&C., &C.; yet persons not only claim to be
christians who employ these means of redu-
cling men to slavery, but some of them are
