WILBERFoRcE n THE THRONE OF Con-
1t was said by Lamartine that Wilberforce vent
up to the throne OF tod with million of broken
letters in his hands, as evidence of a life we'll
spent Wilberforce was in the true sense 81
the term an evangelical christian. He based all
his hopes OF acceptance at the throne of'God on
the atonement of Christ alone His million of
broken letters are an evidence at once of the DOW
er OF the love of Christ through which he had been
enabled tc devote himself TO the great work of his
HE and also of his own love Of that Savior
J ne love Of Christ constrained him. In his life
we behold beautiful exemplifcation of the legi-
innate fruits OF the doctrine of grace Trusting
III Chrlst alone Tor pardon, he yet devoted himself
to bls service as if salvation depended on his own
efforts. lie labored for the slave because the love
OF ChIlst was strong in his soul and he felt that
what he did to the least of Christs little ones he
dld to himself Hence his anti slavery was not a
spashoole emotion, oozlng out when some party
triumph IN Church or State was to be obtained
by Its sacrifice, but calm, vet mighty principle
OF action, bearing him through a lifetime of
trial and sacrifice in the cause of the poor Stand
ing thus on the platform of Chistian principle he
was unmoTed alike by the storm of persecution
and the seductions of fattery.
While Wilberforce and all Christians are saved
by faith IN Christ, they. are Judged by works -
Hence 1t is a glorious and beautiful TRUTH the
saying of the French poet The broken letters Of
the west India slave will all appear at the iudg-
ment seat of Christ and the sentence of the Judge
will be, 'inasmuch as We did it unto the least of
these my brethren, ye did it unto me; come, We
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom pre-
pared for you from the foundation of the world
Wilberforce's credentials at the bar of God will
be somewhat different, we imagine, from those Of
some American saints, whom the pulpit and press
are sending to Heaven. Their testimonials, it is
true, will be fetters'but not broken letters Fet-
tiers, fast riveted on the bleeding limbs of their
bondmen will be their memorial at the Judgment
seat. The cart whip, the thumb-screw, the whip
ping post, and the neck collar will be there as
swift and terrible witnesses against them. They
rest from their labers and their works do follow
them but they are not works of mercy. They
are works fraught with fathomless woe to the
bondmen whom they leave behind, and to whom
they have not left the tardy boon of even DEATH
bed emancipation. Who would not rather have
Wilberforce's credentials at the bar of God, than
those of some American statesmen who have been
lately summoned there ?--Chytstian- Press.
