But a sense of blood-bought pardon
Will melt the heart Of Stone.'

THE PRooF.-He that fears the Lord Of
heaven and earth walks humbly before him,
thankfully lays hold of the message of redemp-
ton by Jesus Christ, and strives to express
his thankfulness by the sincerity of his obe-
dience, is sorry with all his soul when ne
comes short of his duty. He walks watch
fully in the denial of himself, and holds no
confederacy with any lust or known sin if he
fall in the least measure, ne is restless until
he has made his peace by true repentance.
He is true to his promises. He is just IN all
his dealings charitable to tire poor, sincere
in his devotions. He would not deliberately
dshonor God, although secure Of impunity.
He hath his hopes and his conversation in
heaven. And he dare not do anything un-
Justly, be it ever so much to his advantage.
And all this because he sees him who is in
visible, and fears him because he loves him.
On the other side, if a man fears not God,
if he can commit sin with presumption, drink,
swear vainly or falsely, commit adultery, lie,
cozen, cheat, break his promises, live loosely,
though at the same time he may be studlous
to practice every ceremony, even to scrup!u-
lous exactness, or may perhaps as stubbornly
oppose them though such one should be
baptized every day, or declaim against it as
heresy thoug Oh he fast all Lent, or feast out
of pretense of avoiding superstition; yet, not
withstanding these and thousand externals
or conformities, he wants the life OF religion
Our CRossEs.-"No man hath velvet

it is lust as true now as then. Only ne who

EXTREMES.

EXTREMES.
There is tendency in the human mind to
run into opposite extremes. We are either
trying to do too much, or not trying to do
enough. We are either neglecting to do what
we are plainly commanded to do, and what
in the Providence of God we can do, or we
are attempting impossibilities. There seems
to be something repulsive to the unregenerate
man, in the idea of accomplishing great things
by doing little things. Like the heathen
prince of old, we dislike the idea of washing
and being made clean, and especially washing
in Jordan. The sinner has no particular OBJ
lection to being cleansed from the filth of sin
and saved from its dreadful effects; but he
dislikes the mode of cleansing which God
prescribes. He is conscious of the fact that
he is the subject of a moral leprosy which no
human power can cure; still he dislikes to
accept of the cure which God offers him.
He is ready to undertake to do what he
knows in his soul he cannot do; and what he
can do, he hesitates, doubts and delays to do

IARES.
There is no such s, thing on earth as pure
church. The natural world is sown broad
cast with briers, thorns, and thistles. So it is
in the church. There are tares in it. In
every denomination Of Christians, and in
every single congregation, there are some
individuals who are strangers to the covenant
of grace. They are Canaanites in the land
of Palestine They dwell amongst the chill
dren of Israel; but they are not Israeites in
deed. 1t is easy to account for this thing.
In every mans breast some error some mis-
taken notion of revealed truth-lurks in his
mind and produces an erroneous effect upon
his heart. A pure church would be a glori-
Gus thing. For it every one should labor and
pray but no militant church will never be
pure church. 1t will always contain tares.
In our efforts for purity we should be careful
lest we do more harm than good. In eradi-
eating the tares, we may injure the wheat.
In our zeal for purity, we may break bruised
reeds and quench the smoking flax. We
should remember that by the converting
power of Jesus Christ he may, in his own good
time, change the tares into wheat. Above
all, we should remember the advice Of the
Saviour: "Let him that is without sin cast
the first stone."

eyes.
"Now, I'd like to know what is the

etration were equal to that of the
knife you hold. you would know with
out epquiring! But l don't mind
telling you: 1 weep because l know
l shall be badly roasted"
"Ah," returned the priest medi'

How the Quaker Got the Best
of 1t.

K, the Quaker president of a
Pennsylvania railroad, during the
confusion and panic last fall, called
upon the W bank, with which the
road had kept a large regular &C
count, and asked for an extension of
it's paper falling due in q few days.
The bank president declined rather
abruptly, saying, in a tone common
with that fraternity:
"Mr. K, your paper mast be paid
at maturity. W. cannot renew it"
Every well," our Quaker replied,
and he left the bank. On leaving the
bank, he walked quietly over to the
depot, and telegraphed all the agents
and conductors on the road to reject
the bills on the W bank. In a
few hours the trains began to arrive,
full of the panic, and bringing the
news of distrust of the W bank
all along the line of the road. Stock
holders and depositors iockei into
the bank, making the panic. in
quiring, whats the NATTER" sis
the bank broker"
A little inquiry by the off GERS
showed that the trouble originated in
the rejection of the bills by the rail
road The president seized his hat
and rushed down to the Q~uakers's Of
fee, and came busting in with the in
quiry:
Mr.. K, have you directed the
refusal of our currency by your
agents2"
"Yes," vas the quiet reply.
"Why Is this? 1t will ruin u.s."
"Well, friend L., l supposed the
bank was ABOUT to fail, as thee could
not renew a little paper for Us this
morning"
II is needless to say Mr.L renewed
all the Quaker's paper, and enlarged
his line of discount, while the magic
wires carried all along the road, to
every agent the sedative message.
THE W bank is all right. Thee
may take its currency"
