THE ATTRACTION OF CIiarsr.

The night is far spent, the day is athaud
and the nearer we approach to the full en-
ioyment of blessedness, the more may we feel
the attraction of Him whom our saul loyeth.
Many years aga, read in the Arabian
Nights a story Of mountain Ct loadstone.
Ships at great distance felt its ibnuenee
At first their approach to it was scarcely per-
ceptibla There was a declining from their
course hardly to be noticed, and it excited
little apprehension. But the attraction grad
ually became stronger until the vessel was
irresistibly impeled onward With Increased We
loeity. At last it drew the nails and iron
work to itself and so the ship fell to pe;ces.
The path of the just is as the shining light ="
When first the believer feels tie love Of g cd.
it is like mustard seed but it increases,
and he is constrained by its Influence TO press
more earnestly after the enjoyment. At last
the spirit can no more be kept at distance
from Him whom it loves 1t flies to his
embrace, and the body is dissolved
