AN ORIGINAL CHARACrER.-A New

" the subject of much solicitude to the
village clergyman. Not long since he
was taken sick, and being quit old and
feeble, his recovery was considered a
matter Of doubt, and the visit Of the min
istcr was desired by his family. After the
usual friendly greetings were over. the
clergyman, to introduce the object Of his
visit, remarked "Friend W, you are
getting on to be an old man, and have
lived careless life; would Ii not be well
to take the present opportunity to make
your peace with Gody' "Lord bless your

II Jesus were on earth, would you not
20 to him and ask him to save you ?
Would you not believe him, II He said to
you, ''Thy sins are forgiven thee, thy
faith hath saved thee; 20 in peace" Thus
he speaks to you In the Bible. Hear his
voice, believe what He says, command
away every doubt by the authoritative
voice of the mighty Saviour. l.
Two gentlemen were lately conversing
together upon this momentous subject.
One said to the other, amer pointing out to
him the mighty works of Christ on the
cross
do You need anything morc?"
The other Replied
"Yes, think do; think must have
some work Of my own"
His friend replied
"Jesus, at the right hand Of God, Is my
title. and my only title to salvation. Here
are pen Ink and paper; now write me
down better"
The truth Is, that Christ In glory Is the
proof of the complete and all-sufiicient
value of his death. IL a friend becomes
surety for me, and Is thrown into prison
ON account OF my debt, and Afterwards
meet that friend walking at liberty, l am
sure he must have made full satisfaction
for nv debt; otherwise, he would not DC
ont of prison. So the Lord, ut the right
hand of power on high, is proof that lie
has answered to the full every demand OF
God against me as sinner. His death Is
everything or nothing. 1t Is either the
entire plotting out aud canceling OF every
charge that can be made against me, or 1t
ayails me nothing.
John Bunyan was walking one day In a
field In great trouble Of soul ut the dis
eovcry of his own vileness, and not
knowing how to be justified with God,
when he heard, rs he imagined, n voice,
saving to him, "Your righteousness Is In
heaven He went into his house, and
took his Bible, thinking to find there the
very words that had thus sounded In his
heart. He did not discover the indentIcal
expression, but many a passage OF Scrip
ture proclaimed the same truth, and show
eel him that Jesus, at the right hand of
God, Is complete righteousness to every
one that believeth.

II Is n very solemn and serious matter
for you to be entrusted with the care OF
Gods little children. One would think to
see the mating that goes on In society
and il is beautiful thing in its way-that
butterflies were let loose,so light and gay,
and happy are the hearts that sail togeth-
err and play around each other. One
would think to hear the cheerful congrat-
ulations that accompany the putting out
of young life In the family state, that
there was no responsibility connected
with the event. And when there begin to
be ''angels unawares" coming into the
household. one AFTER another, how joyous
1t IL! And the silver cups and little con
gratulatory notes are plenty. But how
few there are who feel that, from the time
the door Of life opens, and child Is born,
God has drawn his hand out from near to
his own heart, and lent something OF him.

come; take this my own child, and edu-
cate il for me, and bring Il to heaven, and
let its improving and its profiting appear
when you and 1t stand together In the
last day." 1t is very solemn thing to
have n family, and to have children. of
which you are not the parent, but only
the guardian and the guide, and In some
sense the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
