CLEARFIELD WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER q 1854

Valens said this with deep emotion. And
no wonder that his thoughts should have
bruised themselves, now and then, about these
future probabilities. As for himself and fam-
iy, they had much TO loose,-valuable friends,
large possessions, and many worldly henors-
all, perhaps, to dash away in one great sacri-
hce But, as already intinated, from these
his own heart was not yet entirely weaned.-
Though his faith led him to anticipate with
confidence hundred fold in the present, and
ihe-eyerlastIng in the future, yet there was
strong bllding of the heart, at times, to the
present and visible only. 1t was a struggle,
as thousands besides himself have found it, to
relinquish wholly things seen, for things un-
seen, the temporal. for the eternal.
