Oh! fight hard against sin and the
devil. Tie devil never sleeps; be ye
also active for good.
Seek to be lamb-like; without this all
your efforts to save Others viii be as

There is a sect in South Carolina call
ed 'sZion's Travellers" They profess
to be immediately directed by the Lord,
and to have fresh revelations from above.
They recently supposed that the Lord
ordered them to remove to North Caro-
lima, and now they are on their way
thither.
| A man industrious i'm his calling, if
without the fear of God, becomes a
drudge to worldly ends; veXed when
disappointed, overioyed in success.
Miugl but the fears of God With busiS
ness, it will not abate mans industry,
but sweeten it; if he prosper, he is
thankful to God that gives him power to
get wealth; if he miscarry, he is patient
under the will and dispensation of the
God he fears. 1t turns the very en-
ployment of his cad ling to a Kind of re-

A good man fearing God shall find his
blessing upon him. 1t is true, that the
portion of men, fearing God issnot IN
this life; oftentimes he meets with
crosses, Affections, and troubles in it;
/ his portion is of higher and more ex-
cellent state and condition than this
life; yet a man that fears God has also
his blessing in this life, even in relation
to his very temporal condition. For,
either his honest and just intentions and
endeavors are blessed with success and
comfort, or if they be not, yet even his
4 crosses and disappointments are turned
into a blessing. .i.4..tsse7i,;i.i
We learn from the Mission Rooms
that the 'tJubilee Fund" which was
proposed to he raised on the fourth Sab
bath in June, to pay off the Indebtedness
of the Missionary Union amounts to the
meagre sum of $17,045-or about one
cent apiece for the Baptists of the coun-
try. We submit that this is not very

The material resources of the Roman
See seem weaker than ever. At the
moment when, like Nebuchadnezzar,
the Pope proclaimed himself infallible
as God, the lightning struck him, as in
the play it strikes the eastern king. And
he fell from the throne. ''He was de-
posed from his kingly throne and they
LtoOk his glory from him. But, side by
side with this loss of physical power,
the myriad servants of that See, its wise
men and magicians are at work with
4 more assiduity than ever. They are
putting every stumbling-bl which
they can lift or roll in the way of free
institutions. In Spain and France they
seem to be successful; in Switzerland,
and Prussia, and Hungary they seem to
fail; in Italy and Austria the balance
hangs more even
TIE new German ecclesiastical law,
the text of which has been published in
