CLOSE TO GOD.
pendent.

If no human being should set before
us an example of ungodliness it would
still be difficult to keep ourselves in
the love OF God, because Satan is ever
seeking an occasion against US and be-
cause our own hearts are deceitful' and
treacherous And if Christian love
would be in danger of growing cold
without any influence from such as
know not God, how much greater must
the danger be when we are surrounded
on all sides by the foes of religion? Ex-
ample is almost contagious with us.
And the greater the number who set the
example the greater is the likelihood Of
its being followed We are so much in
clined to go with the multitude that we
are TOO apt to think a thing must be
right because every body does it. We
are apt to stand in doubt of our own
judgment when the multitude are against
us, and to feel sort Of insecurity in
our position which it is not easy to get
rid of. And if with the best examples
before us, and every influence to help u.s.,
it would be difficult to maintain a walk
close with God, how much more difficult
must it be when men scorn the restraints
Of religion Who indeed, that bears
the Christian name has not felt the cold
and deadening influence Of the world ?
There is in the midst of our most chris.
tanned communities prevalence Of
ungodliness which exerts a most disas-
trous influence. The Christian has all

heart is cold and the soul is languid.

for Christ.
In the same country they exhibit the
true measure Of the foot of the Holy
Virgin and whoever kisses it three
times, and prays three Ace Mayjas, has
absolution for 300 days.
