SanctiAcation.


Archbishop Usher was man of distinguished
learning, piety and diligence The following
circumstance will show that his humility equal
ed his other valuable endowments:
A friend of the Archbishop frequently urged
him to write his thoughts on Sdnet.feataon,
which, at length, he engaged to do; but, con-
siderable time elapsing, the performance OF his
promise was earnestly claimed. The Bishop
replied to this purpose: 81 have not written,
and yet cannot charge myself with breach OF
promise, for began to write; but when | came
to treat of the new creature which God formed
by his own Spirit in every regenerate soul, |
found SO little of it wrought in myself that |
could speak of it only as parrots, or by rote but
without the knowledge of what might have ex-
pressed and, therefore, burst not presume to
proceed any farther upon it.P
Upon this, his friend stood amazed to hear
such an humble confession from SO grave, holy,
and eminent person. The Bishop then added:
Z" l must tell you, we do not well understand
what sancti6oation and the new creature are
1t is no less than for man to be brought to an
entire resignation of his own will to the will of
God and to live in the offering up of his soul
continually in the flames of love, as a whole
burnt offering to Christ and oh how many who
profess Christianity are unacquainted, expert
mentally, with this work upon their souls !"

THE EGYPTIAN Wharf.-The newspapers in
various portions of the State have of late been
speaking in very favorable terms of the seven
headed Egyptian or Mormon wheat, as supe-
rior article for California. In point of prof.
cheney, and adaptabllity to dry soils, we pre-
sumo the praise may be considered as well
bestowed. But in other qualities and general
character, we judge the grain to be considerably
over-rated. We are informed by friend who
is skillful and experienced miller, that it can
not be ground into decent flour. He has tried
it repeatedly in several different mills, and 9TH
