A Hindu Prince on Missions.

The Hindu Maharajah of Mysore, to
whose direct administration the four mil
lions of Mysore, in South India. have
this year been made over, made this sie-
nificant reply to an address from the
Protestant missionaries, who have been
50 successful in that province-"I am
sensible of the great good which your
missionaries have always done, and feel
sure will continue to do, in the cause of
the moral and intellectual advancement
OF the people; and 1 sincerely sympathise
IN the great cause of female education
which you have recently taken in hand.
The righteous principles which govern
your religion must always be conducive
to good government and to the best In
terests Of the people; and I beg to assure
the missions o. my support and sympathy
In their valuable labors. You refer to
the principles of liberation. I need
scarcely mention that one who, like nv.
self, has had the good fortune of being
brought up in English principles, and Of
learning how much the country owes to
English liberation, fairness, and freedom
OF thought, need not be reminded of bis
duty to accord perfect freedom to all
religions, and equal treatment to nv sub
jects of all creeds. I wish you every
success in your disinterested and sacred
work. "-BelfaSt fitness.

Feeling or no Feeling"

Mr.. A, and Mr.. B., and LAWYER c..
were almost crazy with distress for sin.
and, when converted, were almost deliri-
Gus with Joy. Their feelings were so
strong, that there could be no mistake
about them. Now teach us to feel as
they did" There is morbid desire of
this sort widely prevalent in society :;
and 1t is the way of religious progress
with many inquirers.
L am reminded here of meeting a
young man in store one day. My sole
OBJECT In going was to see him about his
religious condition. AS we stood there
alone, separated by the counter, said to
him. " Do you have any anxiety about
yourself as sinner against God?"
With the utmost frankness, he said.
=" know ! am sinner; but 1 feel very
little on the subject"
" Are you trying to do what God tells
you to do as well as you are able, and
with such light as you have?" l asked
ooh, no, sir for it would seem to be
mockery for one, who feels SO little as
do, to attempt to perform any religious
duty"
"You admit that God does require of
yow repentance, and faith, and worship,
and a holy life; do you not ?"
Yes, sir; must admit all this; but
L do not feel it,"
He was remarkable for this strict in
tegrity, and l said to him, What.would
you advise customer to do who had
contracted debt at this store. who adj
mlts the debt, and that he ought to paw
If hI1t ho l~,oo,rr,
little feeling about it ?"
In an instant he said, " I mould od-
OaSe Alna to pay 1t, feeling or no feeling !"
=" That is Just what I want yon to do"
I said.
What shall L do?" he asked.
:" Come to the inquiry meeting to-
night; and meanwhile do you search
your Bible, and ask God for help"
p" | will do the best I can" was his
reply.
That evening he admitted no progress,
only he saw his guilt more clearly; but
he would do all God required as we'll as
he could. never saw him shed a tear
or betray 1.-THE of emotion, but as fast
as light came, he obeyed it. In little
time, he was hoping he had passed from
ueaCH unto NE; and Tor years he has
lived faithful Christian life. Feeling
or no feeling, he tried to pay the debt"
and in Gods a0ay.
An example is better than dogma;
and entreat the unconverted not to
strive for more feeling, but to pray for
the spirit of obedience to Gods com
mands Thatmany who have overwhelm-
ing convictions do prove true converts is
undoubtedly true but that some of the
most Christian lives are to be traced back
to such beginnings as just described, is
also true. The jailer sprang in trembling
to the dungeon where his prisoners were;
but was his agitation the sign of more
genuine conversion than the gentle
serenity of Mary, who sat at the Mas
ter's feet, and heard his words? The
sum of the whole is, Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be Saued."
