and every hour, the boat pushes off with some
of the saints, and returns for more. Soon, o
believer, ii viii be said to thee a. 1t was 10 her
in the Gospel 1.-The Master is come, and cal
leth for thee When YOU are got to the
boundary of your race below, and stand on
the verge of heaven and the confines of Inn
mortality, then there will be nothing but the
short valley of death between you and the
promised land; the labors of YOUR pilgrimage
viii then be on the point of conclusion, and
you will have nothing to do but to entreat God,
as Moses did, III pray thee, let me 90 over, and
see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that
goodly mountain, and Lebanon .'-7oplady.
RICHES OF THE BIBLE.-"Book of books"
is the Bible. 1t is book of laws to show the
right and the wrong. 1t Is a book of wisdom
that makes the foolish wise. Il is a book of
truth which detects all human errors. 1t is a
book of life, which shows how to avoid ever
lasting death. Ii is the most authentic and
entertaining history ever published 1t con-
tains the most remote antiquities, the most re-
markable events and wonderful occurrences.
1t is complete code of laws Ii is perfect
body of divinity. 1t is an unequaled narra-
tive. 1t is book of biography. 1t is book
of voyages. 1t is book of travels. ID is the
ten; it is the best will ever executed, the best
testament ever signed; it is the schoolboy's
best instructor; it is the ignorant mans die
tionary, and every mans directory; it promi-
ses an eternal reward to the faithful and be-
heving.
REsT.-How sweet Is rest after day of
trial The quiet solitude, the repose of mind
the charms of nature, all lend their aid to our
enjoyment. But what Is this compared to
that rest which " remaineth for the people of
God" who love him supremely and keep his
commandments. In the weakness of the fesh
we scarcely dare anticipate the glories Of that
state of heavenly bliss. But there will be no
more agonizing cohicts with sin, no more un-
resisted temptations, no more hindrances to
godliness, no more fruitless flights of imagina-
ton, no more weary wrestlings with our vain
deceitful hearts, no more sad sympathizings
with Gods toiling ministers, no more insatia-
BILE yearnings for human sympathy, no more
unavailable regrets for languishing Zion, no
more deplorings of our own deep snfulness;
but we shall have one long, glorious, endless,
everlasting, eternal rest, rest, rest, forever and
forever.-lMrS Mary Boulcare.
YE SHALL REAP-Think of this, you tha
are well nigh weary of well doing, you that
stand alone in goddess household, and who
sometimes grow disheartened amidst the cold
ness, and the opposition and the jeering you
that have enlisted under Christ's banner, but
who, if you have not actually forsaken house
and lands for his sake, have at least felt con-
strained to let pass many golden opportunity;
you who have been for years watching for a
soul, if happily We might win it, and who still
see it as far from the kingdom as ever you
who have long been contending with wicked
temper or an unholy passion and who dare
not say that you have gained any sensible adj
vantage over ito, be not wearyl Think of
the day when you shall rest from your labors,
and these words shall follow you. Think of
the day-the humbling, affecting, overwhelm-
ing day-when the cup of cold water will re-
appear as an ingredient in the everlasting
glory. Be not weary in well-doing, for in due
season you shall reap, if you faint not
