Forgiveness.

Forgive US our debts as we forgive our
debtors" Christian, when you offer this Pc
tition at the Throne of Grace, do you impre-
cate the curse of God upon your head, or do
you invoke His blessing? II from your in
most soul you do not forgive all who trespass
against you, then you call for wrath and VEN
geance; but if your heart is filled with love
and good will toward all men, then with Joy
fulness you may say, Forgive us our debts
as we forgive our debtors" If you have
aught against your fellow Christian, rest not
till you arc at peace with him. If he has
deeply wounded your feelings, and caused
every fibre of your heart to culver with an
guish if he has filled your life-cup with
bitterness that consumes your strength, wastes
your frame and pales your cheek yet forgive
him as you hope to be forgiven. Forgive
him with your whole heart. and your strength
shall return and your cheek bloom again.
Gonsider that every day of your life, you, by
your sinful conduct pierce deeper wounds in !.
to the heart of the loving Jesus, than it is
possible for mortals to nfict in your heart Of
corruption; yet you expect that -" He who is
meek and lowly in heart" will forgive YOU.
Remember that your Christian brother NAV
not have intended this to wound Your feelings.
He knows not your anguish of spirit, and
perhaps you are morbidly sensitive, and feel
too keenly the injuries inflicted.
But thank God, we have an "High Priest
above, who is touched with the feeling of GU,
inhrmities," and Who 81 has been tempted ir
all points as we arc yet without SIM He
knows all our grief feels all our anguish, anG
He alone can support and console. Then &c
to Him, and earnestly wrestle in prayer, say
ing; II will not let Thee 60 except Thou
Undue me with thy meek and forgiving spirit.
Leave not the footstool of Mercy till in YOU,
very heart you are at peace with all men,
The world says it is glorious to resent an in
jury, that it evinces nobleness of shirt
and greatness of character. Jesus saws
Bless them that curse you, pray for then
that despitefully use you and persecute Won.
In what a de9lorable condition would W,
poof sinners be, should God declare it incon
slstent with His dignity, to forgive us oul
transgresslons; and shall we poor worms O
the dust feel it beneath our dignity to forgiv
our errlng brother? Forgive those VIII

you: yea, and forgive those who would no
forgive you, should you trespass against them
It is easg to forgive those we love, but
harder task to forgive an avowed enemy. We
do it as you value your souls salvation

dying agony prayed for His prosecutors say

A CHRISTIANS CREDENTIALs.-What are
they? Not the blossoms of fair profession
but the ripe and mellow fruit of godlikJ ac-
tons. Cornelius prayers and aims came up
as memorial before God-not his prayers
alone, nor his aims alone, but his prayers and
his aims. Beautiful conjunction. Piety to-
wards God, and an active charity towards all
mankind the twin personifcations of vital,
saving piety, Salvation is of grace, not of
merit, not of works, lest any man should
boast. But faith without works is dead. 1t
is like an index, without book ; like hands
without clock; like sails without q ship ;
like tree, with nothing but dry and witherc1
branches PROGRESSED disciple of Christ, to
prove thy discipleship genuine, thou must
surround thyself with widows, whom thou
hast conforted-with orphans, whom thou
hast succored-with the ignorant, whom thou
hast instructed-with the wandering, whom
thou hast reclaimed-with the hungry whom
thou hast fed-with the naked whom thou
hast cothed-wth the sick whom thou has
visited. These are thy trophies.

FEMALE DElcAcY-Above all other fea-
lures which adorns the female character, deli
cacy stands foremost within the province of
good taste. Not that delicacy which is per-
petually in quest of something to be ashamed
of, which makes merit Of a blush, and SIM
pers at the false construction its own integri-
ty has put upon an innocent remark; this
spurious kind of delieacy is far removed from
good sense; but the high-minded delicacy
which maintains its pure and undertaking
walk alike among women and in the society
of men--which shrinks from no necessary
duty, and can speak when required, with Sc
riouiness and kindness, Of things at which it
would be ashamed to smile or blush--that
delicacy which knows how to confer a benefit
without wounding the feelings of another
which can give aims without assumption, and
which pains not the most susceptible being
in creation.

THE AGE TO BEGIN SCHooL.-Children fire
generally sent toschool to young. This isshe
testimony of all experienced teachers. Chi
dren sent to school at four years of age. and
those sent at seven will be in almost all cases
equally advanced at nine, with the advantages
for future progress all in favor of the latter.
Thousands of young minds are stunted and
permanently dwarfed, by too early applica-
ton to study, and thousands of young hearts
receive an ineradicable faint of moral corrup-
