Objects of our Love.

Another loses her child just as its mind

hold of her heart by those singularly endear-

her old age. There arises, however, more

The Truly Great.


1t is not improbable, that the noblest human
beings are to be found in the least favored
conditions Of society, among those, whose
names are never uttered beyond the narrow
circle in which they toll and suffer, who have
but atwo mites" to give away, who have
perhaps not even that, but who "desire to be
fed with the crumbs which fall from the rich
mans table . for in this class may be found
those, who have withstood the severest temp
tations, who have practised the most arduous
duties, who have confded in God under the
heaviest trials, who have been most wronged
and have forgiven most and these are the
great, the exalted. 1t matters nothing, what
the particular duties are to which the individ-
ua is called, how minute or obecure in their
outward form. Greatness in Gods sight lies,
not in the extent of the sphere which is filled,
or of the effect which is produced, but alto
gether in the power of virtue in the soul, in
the energy with which Gods will is chosen,
with which trial is borne, and goodness loved
and pursued-Rev. DR.. Claiming

Christ's Teachings.

He declares that good is the only antagonist
of euil, which can conquer the deadly foe
Therefore he enjoins on his disciples the du-
ty of resisting evil only with good. This is
the sub principle of Christian non-resistance
Evil can be overcome with good" Faith
then, in the inherent superiority of good over
evil, truth over error, right over wrong, love
over hatred, is the immediate moral basis o.
our doctrine. Accordingly we transfer all the
faith we have been taught 10 cherish in injury
to bengfcence, kindness, and uniayulous treat
ntent as the only al-suficient engnery of
war against evil doors. No longer expecting
to put down evil with evil, we lift up the cross
for an ensign, and surrounding it with the
glorious banner of love, exult in the divine
motto displayed on its immaculate folds, RE-
SYST NOT INJURY WITH INJURY" Let this in
all future time be the specific rule of our con-
duct, the magnetic needle of our pathway
across the troubled waters of human reform,
till all men, all governments, and all social in
shall have moulded into moral har-
mony with (" the grand comprehensive com.
mandment of the living God"-" THOU SHALT
LOVE THY NEIGHBoR AS THYsELF." Then
shall Lore God by his sublimest name) " be

when, as God knows, the cares that are the
keys that keep those riches, hang often SO
heavily at the rich mans grdle that they clog

intellectual and Moral Power.

What avals Intellectual without moral pow
er? How little does it avail us to study the
outward world, if its greatness inspire no
reverence TO its Author, if its benefcence
awaken no kindred love towards our fellow
creatures? How little does it avail us to
study history, if the past do not help us to
comprehend the dangers and the duties of the
present if from the suf1erings of those who
have gone before us, we do not learn to suffer,
and from their great and good deeds, how to
net nobly; if the Developments of the human
heart, in different ages and counties, do not
give us better knowledge Of ourselves? How
little does literature benefit us, if the sketches
oflfe and character, the generous sentiments,
the testimony to disinterestedness and rect-
tude, with which it abounds, do not incite and
guide us to wiser, purer, and more grateful
action? How little substantial good do we
derive from poetry and the fine arts, If the

Practical Reading.

Read and do, read and practise what you
read, or else all your reading will do you no
good. He that hath a good book in his hand,
but not lesson of it in his heart or life, is like
an ass that carrieth rich burden, and feeds
upon thistes. In divine account man knows
no more than he doeth. Profession without
practice will but make a man twice told a
child of darkness. To speak well is to sound
like cymbal, but to do well is to act like an
angel. He that practiseth what he reads and
understands, God will help him to understand
what he understands not. Gohn vii. 16; Ps.
cxix. 98-l00] There is no fear of knowing
too much, though there is great fear in prac-
Using too little. The most doing man shall be
the most knowing man the mightlest man
in practice, will in the end, prove the might
est man in Scripture. Theory is the guide of
practice, AMI practice is the life of theory
Salyian relates how the heather did reproach
some Christians, who by their lewd lives mode
the gospel of Christ to be areproach: "Where,"
said they, lis that good law which they do
believe? Where are those rules of goodness
which they do learn? They read the holy
Gospel, and yet are unclean! They hear the
apostles writings, and yet live in drunkenness!
They follow Christ, and yet disobey Christ!
They profess holy law, and YET lead impure
lives" All, how many may take up sad COM
plants against many readers in these days.
