caused by mercurial disease, Low living, dis

above all, by the vcnereal infection. What

Christ Coming to Judgement.

The evidence that Christ comes to Judge
ment in the minds of men, is of the strongest
nature. When the mind or soul becomes
lost in the beauties of the Savior's kingdom,
by steady course of study and adoption of
the principles of the Savior of mankind, an
embodiment of the purest kind is forced
there, from which the man is enabled to
to look down upon the actions of men and
judge correctly of their motives. Thus, by
beiieriag, men are saved from death, as they
are enabled to think, write and speak in
Christs name, thoughts and feelings that
connect their names to immortality, Should
tho elements become turbulent, and the
weaker portion OF mans being made to
strive for mastery, the puror love of the
heavenly kingdom comes and speaks "peaco
be still, and calm prevails In the heart
that harmonincs and attuncs the soul to its
n,"Aur. Does the limbs become palscd by
doubt and INDIGESTION, tho clear lucid conviC-
tons OF his grace cntors tho heart, and a
course of action is at once decided uron
that bears evidence of knowledge of the
truth and a olearnoss of the Judgment,
which can only bc attributed to Him who
sits above, upon tho crowning point or all
good, and looks down upon the actions of
men and judges and prompts them to work
out glory in his name. And is it too much
for us to acknowledge, when we eat or drink
or partalie in any way Of the goodness Of
God, coming to us from him, that we may
worship him in spirit and in truth? Can
we not and should we not have an eye of
Faith continually upon the promises offer.
ed in his word, that Our souls may ever be
refreshed by the purifying element of his
kingdom? Thus we see him ever present
every ready to call us up, makes us content
ed with our lot and shows us tho real evi-
dence of his presence, by teaching humility,
long suffering, solfdenial and other kindred
virtues. ......... .I" I.F.
