Mans understanding is SO darkened
that he can see nothing of God IN God, =
nothing of holiness in holiness, nothing
OF good in good, pothing OF evil la evil.
nor anything of sinfulness in sim, Nay,
1T is 50 darkened that he fancies himself
TO see good ia evil, and evil in good, hap
piness la sin, and misery in holiness.
Remember that in receiving the me-
MORALS of his death, or in any contem-
platiom of it, you receive Jesus cruel
fed, only to cruelty Yourself with him,
that yoa may thence form and live with
him His patience, his meekness, his
submission, his deafness to the world,
his love to- God and man transferred to
our bearts-tl,ese are the true fruits of
his cross, whenever rightly coHtem-

Rev. George Kerry, an English Bap-
tist missionary, writes of kind of re-
| ligious awakening spreading all over
Bengal, among both Hindus and Mo-
hammedans: while Rev. n. Bion, of the
Dacea Mission, ayows his conviction,
with regard TO the wide region over
which his journeys extend, that 'stile
number of those who secretly believe
in Christ is as great, If not greater, than
the number of baptized believers in ali
our stations put together" ~,
every man is a little world within
himself, and in this little world there
is a court of judicature erected wherein,
next under God, the conscience sits as
supreme judge, from whom there is no
appeal; that passeth sentence npon MS,
upon all our aetions, upon all our in-
tentions; for our persons, absolving one,
condemning another. If that condemns
us, in vain shall all the world besides
aeQuit us and il that clear s,s, - tie
doom which the world, passetl.. upon us
is frivolous and Intellectual"
A peasant was employed by some Jes-
nit missionaries TO accompany them oil
4 their Journeys. They observed thai
when they halted for prayer the peasant
also knelt ut some distance, and APP
peared to be engaged in devotion. One
Of them took occasion to ask him what
was the subject of his prayers. His re.
4 ply was, "Well, sir, | am bnt poor
and ignorant man, and don't know
what to pray for, SO as | know that you
are good and holy men, when see you
praying. jnst ask God to give me the
things that yon are praying for" Tho
simplicity Of this poor man may teaei
Christian people how they stand in re.
