Eve AID Mary CoxrARED.-The two most extrl

Eve AND NARY CONFERENCE.-The two most extra
ordinary women that ever appeared In this world
were unquestionably Eve, "the mother OF all liy-
ing" aud Mary, ''the mother of Jesus Christ. y
They occupied respectively the ghest stations and
the most critical points OF time that fell TO the
lot of mortas; aud they exhibit an instructive con-
trast Eve lived at the beginning, and Mary at the
sfulness of time" Eve saw the glOries ofthe new
made world after Creative Wisdom had pronounced
it sal very good, and before sin had furnished its
beauty and disarranged its harmonies. Mary be-
held il rising from the ruins OF the fall, at tho 40
ment of its renovation and at the dawn Of hap
piest day. Eve placed in the most glorious
and conspicuous situation, and fell into "A state
of meanness and degradation. Mary OF OBJ
s:ure origin and owy station, but raised, by
signal appointment OF Providence, 10 the highest
enincnce. Eve was accessory to the ruin Of man
Mary instrumental in the birth vi Him who came
AZ the Restorer and Saviour of mankind. Eve be-
held the fatal curse first take effect. in overcasting
the heaven with clouds, In whitening the blossoms
OF paradise, enveuomng the spirit of the animal
creation, disordering the human frame, and ulti-
mately destroying it, and introducing all the name
less diyersitics oil woe which I'LL up the tragedy
OF human life. Mary witnessed the begin
n ing of that long series Of blessings which
divine love has for ages dispensed to- man,
athrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
and which will eventually replenish the cup OF ex-
sten,e with unmingled sweetness and perfect JOY
Eve Witnessed with trembling CONSCIOUSNESS vi
guilt, the awful descent Of those mighty "cheru-
bins, aud flaming sword which turned every way,
@ keep the way OF the tree Of life,' and which
were placed 'at the east end OF the garden OF Eden
Mary with feelings ofecststic rapture, beheid the
angel q abriel standing before her, with the smiles
OF Heaven upon his countenance, heard his bene-
dictions, aud held ''communion sweet with the
holy messenger.
