THE MIGHT OF LIFE

There Is Il beautiful correspondence
between the state CT night and the char
acter of our verdi. This world is to the
. Christian
a night OF ignorance. ignorance may
be compared not only to the shades Of
evening, but the gloom Of night. How
limited is the knowledge Of the most en-
nent believer of this world Where is
the individual 10 whom the challenge nav
not be given. Can'st thou BY searching
find out Ged?' What mysteries veil
the dispensations Of his providence.-
Clouds and darkness are round about him.
He moves IN the Whlrlwini and rides
- sssssis- rt1s 10Y sUu,
and he treads not in the track Of human
fitness and proprIety. Do not his dealings
with US sometimes constitute an abyss, in
which our minds are overwhelmed, and
our thoughts drowned Are there not
truths IN the Bible which far exceed the
grasp Of our comprehension, and tran
scend the loftiest conception of our minds?
II is yet night with as.
A night Of impertcction. tmperfec--
ton will cleave to the believer till the
day Of eternity dawns. AS our knowl-
edge is imperfect, so are our graces, our
faith, our love, and hope, and desires.and
all the Christian graceS. The work of
the Spirit in our hearts Is only in pro-
gress, much more remains 10 be. DONE
Concerning everything connected with
the Christian character, life, and expert
snce, il may he said, It is Sin part"
Our soys, our consultations and our com.
,nunications with God, are yet imper-
feet.
A night of Sorror. How manv sour.
ces Of sorrow continually occur to the
believer. Here he sows in tears and
goes forth Weeping. Many are the
affections Of the righteous" The world
is sen Of trouble, where one wave rolls
necessarily on another Let rs be thank
IuI that it is not an endless night. THE
night is far spent, very far with some.
" Now IS our salvation nearer than when
We believed" Bar how has it been
spent! TOO often in murmuring, rather
nan praising. Les the Christian DO
thauhiu! it IS not total night with him.
There are some gIImmeriDgs of light
some bright rays chat foretell the dawn
ing of the day. Let Us therefore spend
the remaindl Of the night in manner
that becomes rs, IS the expeCtunts of a.
glorious iumurtality.-T cmpie.
