WHERE THEY REST.

Ius little valley hallowed,
Prom the mou utain's verdant crest,
Far above the oceans level,
Far above the worlds gay revel,
Jrst beneath the vaulted heaven,
Where its first pure breath is given,
There they rest
In the spring the wild bee murmurs,
Ger the sod above them pressed
And he humming bird is darting,
Pausing. humming, slipping, starting,
Slipping nectar from the clover,
And the roses bending over,
Where they rest
There little streamlet glideth,
Smiling on like something blest;
And the fresh winds from the mountain,
Joining with that sweet voiced fountain,
Sing a ceaseless song above them,
For all nature seems to love them,
In their rest.
Now the little '.P leasant Valley"
In pure wkite robe is dressed
And the win in solemn measures,
Chant their dirse, and wondrous treasures,
Ermine robes and gems in keeping,
Winter casts above the sleeping,
Still they rest.

Meditation.

Mediate on what you have heard and
read, till it becomes incorporated with the
whole system of your thoughts and feeling,
and through the influence of the Spirit,
exercises sanctifying energy over your
heart and life. Have special seasons set
apart for this, and let no interruption hinder
its performance; and when once engaged in
it, do not stop till you obtain realizing
view, lively perception of the truths which
you are contemplating. Select for medita-
tion those grander and more glorious parts
of revelation which are calculated to draw
up your affections to high, and holy, and
heavenly themes. Dwell on the Offices of
each person of the Trinity, the peculiar love
manifested to you by each, the love of the
Father in giving his Son as a Precipitation
for your sins; the love of the Son in giving
himself for you to death; and the love Of
the Holy Ghost in taking up his abode in
your heart, to purify it, and make it meet
for the Inheritance of the saints in light.
Mediate much on the history of the Saw
ours redeeming love and mysterious suffer-
ings, from the manger to the cross, with the
reflection at every step-all this love lavished
upon me Mediate on his character; on its
every lovely feature; on his first coming in
humiliation to be scourged, condemned and
cruci6ed for you; and on his second coming
! that glorious manifestation, when he shall
appear, and all his saints shall appear with
him in glory.

Punishment.

The Western Advocate concludes an artl-
Gle on the certainty of punishment with the
following paragraph:
"Be sure your sin will find you out, is
an admonition ever as fresh and pertinent
as when it fell from the lips Of Moses to
check the misdoing of al erring people. Let
the admonition be stamped upon every
heart Especially let the lesson be learned
and relearned in childhood. Let it be placed
in golden capitals around the walls of every
Sabbath school room. Let the mother i'm
press it upon the child, bending at her knee.
The reason why so many men and women
are committing terrible crimes in our day is
because they were not taught the terrible
nature of sin when they were at the family
hearthstone. The Christian church is do
ing much for the children, teaching them
beautiful songs, telling them many beautiful
stories, giving them many fascinating books;
but is she teaching that greatest of all truths,
the inborn depravity of the human soul?
On the contrary, has not the church become
fascinated with infant innocence and purity?
In the old dispensation, the terribleness Of
sin was the great lesion taught the chill
dren, and lessons were engraved on lintels
and door.posts and human hands and fore
heads, that it perchance might be imprinted
upon the heart. Calvary, more than Sinai,
reveals the terribleness of sin, and the
Church of Christ should teach grander les
sons than the Church of Moses, and the
lessons appropriate for these days are les
sons on sin, to be taught in the family, in
the Sunday school, in the pulpit. Let the
certainty of punishment too, bepealed forth
with all the electric fire of old Sinai. Our
taxes will be less, and our prisons more COM
modious and comfortable for the wards of
the State"
