The Child,s:Testinaony.

Who can tell the results Of single Sermon or trace
the consequence Of converion-even that Of child?
When Mr.. Whitfield was preaching in New England, .
lady became the subject Of divine grace and her spirit
was peculiarly drawn out in prayer Others She
could persuade no one to pray With her but her little
daughter, about ten years of time it pleased
God to touch the heart the child and give her the
hope Of salvation In transport of holy Joy she then
exclaimed: H

could tell everybody. Pray, mother, let me rnn to
Of the neighbors and tell them that they may be
happy and love my Savior,
sAh, my child said the mother, that would be
ess for suppose that you to tell your experience
there is not within many miles who would not laugh
at you, and say it was all delusion.'
%, mother, replied the little girl, I think they
would believe me. l must 60 over to the shoemaker
and tell him; he will believe me-
She ran over, and found him at work in his shop.
She began by telling him that he must die and he
sinner and that she was sinner, but that her blessed
Savior had heard her mothers prayers and had forgiven
all her sins aid that now she was 70 happy, she did
not know how to tell it.
The shoemaker was struck with surprise, and his
tears flowed down like rain he throw aside hs work,
and BY prayer and supplication sought mercy The
neighborhood was awakened, and within few months,
more than fifty persons brought to the knowledge
Of Jesus, and to rejoice in his power and grace.

Two journeymen woolcarders were crossing through
small wood to their new masters, when they a
couple Of fishes, pike and golden carp, lying in the
middle Of the pathway, having probably dropped from
some fsherman's basket
What dainty morse either of them might make,
observed the younger of the two who though greedy
was lazuess itself; only it's too much trouble to carry
them away, to say nothing Of the trouble OF cooking
them
SO saying, he pushed the ishes out of bis way with
the tip Of his shoe.
His companion, who was steader and more thought
full observed that he would not mind the trouble, only
the fishes were heavy, and it might lose time to carry
them away, and they would get beated But as they
can't profit us, and nobody is likely to come by in
this lcnely spot III put them back into their native

Thereupon, he ung them both into strcaa, that ran

Eloquepce OF the Pulpit.

It is related Of Mr. W. Dawson, known as the york
shire Farmer that on one occasion when preaching in
South Lambeth the Offices of Christ, after presenting
him the Great Teacher and Priest who made himself
an Offering for sin, he introduced him the King Of
King in his own right, he proceeded to the Coronation
Borrowing his ideas from familiar to his audience,
he at last marshaled the immense procession, moving
upon the head Of the King Of the Universe.
So wildly did the preacher describe the scene that
you actually thought you were gazing upon long
line Of Patriarch and Kings Prophets and Apostles,
Martyrs and Confsssers every ago and cline, until at
length temple was filled, and the solemn and
imposing ceremony Of crowning about to take place.
The audience by this time wrought up to the high
est pitch Of excitement and while momentarly expect
ing to hear the anthem peal out from the vast assem-
blage, the preacher commenced singing, h
ALI hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fsll,' &c
The effect was electrical. The audience started to
their feet and sang the hymn with such spirit and feel
ing as perhaps it was never sung before OF since.

Speak gently to the youth, for they

Beneath that placid brow,
What untold anguish there doth dwell,
Though calm and silent now. q -.'- d
