A Charge.

The following is portion of the charge
of the Rev. Professor Cole, of Rutgers
College, New Brunswick, n. j., to the
Rev. Q. II. Hazard, the pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church of that city,
at his recent installation:
Remember, my brother, that You are
commissioned servant of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and that the explicit language of
of your commission is, $50, preach my
gospel" And remember, that the one
great object of your commission is, to Sc
cure the salvation of lost sinners. Upon
YOU has been divinely conferred the dis
tinguished honor of an ambassadorship for
Christ You are sent to bear Just one
simple message to lost men. You have
no business to turn aside from it to the
right or left. Every one who enters the
ministry needs to be cautioned on this sub
ject. The gospel is so simple, and the
preaching of it so plain, and to proud,
dark human nature so unattractiye, and
the preacher himself so utterly powerless
to convert his hearers, and so shut up, Of
ten to the necessity of working without
seeing mmedidte-often without seeing
any fruits of his work-that in his agony
of interest he is apt to be betrayed into
the adoption of mere human expedients
to infuse more attractiveness into his pull
pit services. This feeling in some preach
ers, together with painful lack Of reH-
gi;ous experience in others, turns many of
our sermons into moral essays and bald
harangues upon specific sins. This it is
which leads preachers into the selection
of themes drawn from literature, science,
art, and politics. This it is which creates
the straining after out-of-the-way texts
and startling analyses. Earth, and air,
and sea, and sky are laid under contribu-
ton for material which will cater to the
taste of fashionable but heartless audi
ences, which will tickle the ears of people
who are spiritually dying for want of re-
alization that they have souls to be lost
or saved. My brother, scorn to turn
aside from the pure gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pray to have your own soul alive with the
profoundest realization of that truth that
clusters around the two great central
themes of sin and salvation; and then, by
the grace of the Holy Ghost, let your dis
courses be the outpopring of this realiz-
ing experience upon your hearers

THE BIBLE frs bwN INTERPRETER.
A careful, candid comparison of par
allel passages of Scripture will remove a
number Of infdel objections. Worthy
OF all attention is the remark OF Blshop
Horsely: " 1t were to be wished that no
Bibles were printed without references.
Particular diligence should be used in
comparing the parallel texts of the Old
and New Testaments. 1t is incredible to
any one who has not made the expert.
ment, what proficiency may be made in
that knowledge which maketh wise unto
salvation, by studying the Scriptures in
this manner, without any other commen-
tary or exposition than what the different
parts of the sacred volume mutually fur
nish for each other. Let the most ilEte-
rate Christian study them in this manner,
and let him never cease to pray for the
illumination of that Spirit by which these
books were dictated; and the whole
compass of abstruse philosophy, and re-
condite history, shall furnish no argu-
ment with which the peryerse will of
man shall be able to shake the learned
Christians faith. .'-Amhor Of "HOme

To Parents.

/. First give yourself, then your child
to God. 1t is but giving Him His own.
Not to do it is robbing God.
2. Always prefer virtue to wealth the
honor that comes from God to the honor
that comes from men. Do this for your
self. Do it for your child.
3. Let your whole course be to raise
your child to a high standard. Do not
sink into childishness yourself.
4. Give not needless commands, but
when you command, require prompt obe-
dience.
5. Never indulge child in cruelty,
even to an insect.
6. Cultivate a sympathy with your
child in all lawful joys and sorrows.
7. Do not expect to make your child
perfect.
8. Be sure that you never correct a
child until you know it deserves correc-
ton. Hear its story first and fully.
9. Never allow your child to whine or
fret, or bear grudges.
10. Early inculcate frankness, candor,
generosity, magnanimity, patriotism, self
denial.
II. The knowledge and fear of the
Lord are the beginning Of wisdom.
u. Never mortify the feelings of your
child by upbraiding it with dulness; but
do not inspire it with self-conceit.
13. Pray for and with your child often
and heartily.
IA. Let no one interpose between your
authority and your child.
10. Feed its mind no less than its body
with food convenient for it.
1G. Encourage all attempts at self-im-
provement.
II. Let your child be, think, and speak
as a child, but encourage it of its own ac-
cord to put away childish things.
18. Never deceive, nor break a promise
to a child.
10. Reprove not child severely in the
presence Of strangers.
20. Remember that life is a vapor, and
that you and your child may be called out
of time into eternity any day.

In Heaven.

The saints in Jesus, when. their bodies
sleep in peace, have perpetual fellowship
with him--aye, better fellowship than we
can enjoy! We have but the transitory
glimpses Of bis face, they gaze upon it
every moment. We see him /" in a glass,
darkly;" they behold him face to face. y
We sip of the brook, by the way; they
plunge into the very ocean of bounded
love. We look sometimes and see our
Fathers smile: look whenever ey may,
his face is full of smiles for them. We
get some drops of comfort; but they get
the honeycomb itself. They have their
cup filled with new wine, running over
with perennial, unalloyed delights. They
are full of peace, fnll of JOY forever.
They "sleep in Jesus" Such descrip-
ton of death makes us wish to sleep too.
0 Lord, let us 60 to sleep with the de-
parted 0 happy hour. when a clod of
the valley shall be our pillow. Though
it be hard, we shall not be affected by it.
Happy hour, when earth shall be our bed.
Cold shall be the clay, but we shall not
know it we shall slumber and we shall
rest. The worm shall hold carnival with
in our bones, and corruption shall riot
over our frame but We shall not feel it.
Corruption can but feed upon the corrup-
tible; mortality can but prey upon the
mortal. "We know It's common all
that live must die, passing through ma
ture to eternity. ."-Spugeon.
