MODERN RELIGION.

IL IS Qlmcult't0 nnd person, man or woman,
whether good or bad, who does not expect some
day or other to repent and 90 to heaven Thor
ough repentance is rare, aud if man had to
depend on hls own merits alone, his chances for
Heaven would, in our opinion, be very slim.
Almost every man has sort of conviction that
he is at bottom, avery good fellow, and that
he Is little better than any man Of his ac.
qualntance. Whether such men really know
themselves or not, is doubtful. The character
OF man is generally better known and under
stood by the community in which he lives than
by himself. 10 gets an expression of opinion
containing the truth, however, is difficult. A
lawyer IN full practice always commands re-
spect, because people fear him. A merchant
with large stock ct goods stands well, because
people want credit and resort to fattery to get
1t. 1t Is the same with successful physician,
tor people look upon him as carrying life or
death IN his hands as be desires. A LAWYER
may 90 things, that is to say, he may misrep-
resent facts, may rob estates committed to his
care, may deprive widows and orphans. and
people will speak well of him if he is in full
practice. Merchants may cheat by sanding SUI
gar; watering whlskey, giving short weights
and measures, by false representations of the
quality and value of their goods, which peo-
pie want. A physician may kill, be guilty of
malpractice, violate sacred confidence and do
other mean and wicked things, and if he is
good physician, nobody will censure him for
anything. A successful man never wants for
friends. Everybody will help him; but let a
man fail, and everybody will give him a kick.
This IS charlty-but not Of that kind, the prac
tlce OF which qualities man for heaven. How
many OF US do our whole duty2 Who loves his
nelghbor as he does himself? Who does unto
others as he would have others do unto him 2
How many Of us abstain frou backbitiog, from
repeating stories to the discredit OF others; in
trade, how many of US are willing to give true
value, and who is not pleased at getting good
bargain, that Is, IN getting an article for less
than It's fair value? That is considered smart
ness or sharpness-aud that is quality which
the world admires; though it is doubtful if
God does How many of us con6ue our rei-

pose true history of every mans lite
could be known to bis acuuaintances and
the public, be would be astounded at his
own rascalty or rather not bis rascality for that
IS too strong word, but at his own wckedness.
God knows everything; let no man think he
can deceive him. 1t is easy enough to deceive
our fellow reature however-but it is wicked
to do 3d. A man should keep straight watch on
his thoughts and speech.
