. fnE strength Of the yonng men is one Of !
the richest treasures of power the church pos-
sessess. Her old men may be riclrin chris.
tian experience (; rich in large material re-
sources, and rich in the priceless,weaith of +
truly benevolent heart !; but tits her young
men and her sons that are reaching up TO-
the prime of manhood, who mainly embodys
the enterprise and the spirit that is to em-
body the Gospel of Christ through all the
channels. along which flows the mighty
stream ofhumanity, at home and abroad
That very enterprise, that youthful ardor
that courage and that power of ripe manhood,
declare the nature of their mission, as truly,
as if Jesus was heard saying to their posses
sors "Run, speak to this young man; run to
proclaim the tidings of my grace far and
wide; run to instruct the ignorant, to re-
form the vicious, to recall the wandering, to
lift up the despoudmg, and guide the anx-
ious sinner to the cross" 4. ~ LII.
The Young man who .imagines that he is
redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and yet feels
and cherishes no sense of obligation to use
his power so as to advance the cause of reIi-
gion, Is but withered branch Of this heav-
enly vine, on which no clustering foliage
gathers, and no fruits of heavenly benefi-
cence rlpen tor glory. If angels run to min.
istcr to men, how ought the redeemed to
run on missions of mercy to their fellow
men For what are christian young men
strong, if not to serve as missionaries of the
cross, and ministers of Him, who for their
sakes endured the agonies of Calvary
That strength, that animation, that courage,
that buoyant energy will soon decline. ; 1t
is talent given but for season and if you
use it not for Christ within that season, tho
passage of time will bear it from you forev-
er. Then, as you stand on the other side of
htes meridian, the consciousness of neglec-
ted opportunities and wasted powers will op-
press your heart. Then when at length YOU
come to Judgment. and you are challenged
to account for all the strength of your early
and ripened manhood, you will carry in your
heart, not the blessed fruits of the seed you
have sowcd and reaped not the memories of
sinners saved and ignorance enlightened
not the deeds of heavenly love. Which have
ministered benedictions wide as heaven to
the souls of the miserable-but the ashes of
burnt out passions, the withered stalk of
fruitless branch, the memory Of neglected OPP
portunities and souls lost forever.-Dr FIGh-

IMPROVEMENTS IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The Internal improvement Committee of
the Senate of North Carolina have put.
lished report reviewing the action of
the last Legislature or the subject, and
giving very encouraging account Of the
projected works. The State has under
taken to make the subscriptions neces-
sary to complete the Improvements au-
thorized, provided individual stock be
taken in the proportion prescribed. She
owns at present in works constructed
and being completed stock to the amount
of So, 3,432, 500. The total prospective
subscription for the next two years is
So 3,000.000; total amount of endorse
ments for the same period 81 $50, 900;
total amount of present State debt for
works of internal improvement $2,772,-
900. Proper safeguards have been pro-
vided that the States credit is not to be
strained. The committee close with the
following encouraging remarks:
"Your committee cannot conclude this
report without referring to the fact, new
in the history of the State, that this
General Assembly, forgetting political
schemiDg and remembering no party diff
ference, has exhibited the scene of gen
eral and cordial IS well as a most har-
monious cooperation on this great ques-
ton. Such has been the happy result of
the concurring agreement of last sum-
mer to place this subject above the party
themes; and if hereafter there are found
any desirous of again throwing this great
and most vital matter into the political
arena, your committee can only hope
that the prudent forethought, the en-
larged liberality, and enlightened wis
dom of the new age will forbid the State
to be again delivered up to the curse of
such . fate; and earnestly trust that
henceforth one sentiment may pervade all
parties, one resolve possess all her peo-
pie to place North Carolina in the rank
Of States where her capabilities and re-
sources eutitle her 10 stand" -f.
