THE POWER OF SIN.


us by Rev. D. 4. Buck.-ED.
How many places old Satan has
In this enlightened time,
For carrying on his wicked work
OF sin and death, and crime.
What strange devices he has laid
-sTO drown the souls of men;
TO catch them in his wiry net,
r Ne,er TO return again.
How he allures them, step by step,
Ito its meshes strong;
PTill fettered by the chains of sin,
Their conscience knows no wrong.
oh, how they gather in his shops,
Andrev through the night,
Listening unto his flattering tongue,
Needless of times swift flight.
They join with light fantastic step,
The facinating dance;
Lured on by music's thrilling strains,
They Satan's cause enhance.
They also to the opera go,
And to the theatre, too;
And all the powers of God defy,
And rob him Of his due.
The gambling house and gambling shop
Are more frequented still;
Men sell their souls for mad ming drink,
And drunkard's graves they fill.
They turn their happy homes to hells,
Themselves to Satan's slaves;
Their families to misery bring,
And to untimely graves.
Their orphan children homeless roam,
As beggars In the street;
Shivering with cold and hunger go,
Through rain and snow, and sleet.
Oh what an awful doom awaits
The seller of the runs;
In everlasting fire to burn,
With Satan and his chums.
Alas in this, the worlds fast age,
What progress Satan makes;
His children with untiring zeal,
Work till the day-dawn breaks.
Fen some who now professcd to be
The followers of God,
Do not adorn his holy cause,
Or heed his Christening rod.
They leave the work for ministers,
Who can but scarcely live;
And when their salaries are due,
They are too poor to give.
They spend their time and money too
In aiding Satan's cause,
And try to keep their conscience still
Picking in Others flaws.
Some chew and snuff the noXious weed
So baneful to their health,
And desocratC the house Of God
With fumes of smoke and filth.
They spend more money in one month
Their lusts to crafty
Than they would give In half II year
Gods cause to magnify.
Oh stop poor sinner, stop and think
Ere II will be too late
For Christ Is ready to receive,
Although your sins are great.
He ever stands with outstretched arms
Saying come to me aud live,
There's none so sinful or so vile
That caunot forgive
Repent of all your evil deeds,
Take up my lowly cross,
Bow In submission to my will,
Count earthly things all dross.
While Christ says now Is the accepted
time,
Sin says procraslinatc,
Wait till tomorrow to begin,
II will not be too late.
Ala,l tomorrow never comes
This the derclvor knows,
And laughs 10 think what fools men are
70 heed their verlcst foes.
Then come TO God while lie Is near
Lest he should hide his Mco
And say, behold the door Is closed
lis past, your day of grace
oh listen TO the sinner friend
Though ignorant and blind.
Who longs 10 have you come to Christ
That YOU may comfort iind.
Yes, gladly would give It all
Had this world of gold,
10 check the sinners mad career
And lead them to Gods fold,
Fnin would | warn you day and night,
Could persuade Just one
10 loin mp, through this sinltll world
Tho'hoavcnly race to rum

REMEMBER THE POOR.-At this joyful
time, when we are all striving to be happy,
and enjoy the happiness OF those immedi-
ately around and dependent on us, by con-
tributing to their pleasure, we should not
fail to remember those who are not able
and have no one to provide for them.
When we buy our presents for the chill
dren at home. let US, as far as we can,
think Of some poor. folorn little one OF
ones and provide something that will make
them happy also.
When We are preparing for our Christ
mas dinner, let us increase the quantity
as far as we are able and it is or may be
necessary, the extra portion to be sent to
some ones we can readily think OF, who,
but for this, may have little to rejoice over
in the coming of Christmas.
Let us do this, and our enjoyment in the
pleasures of our children will be increased
in the proportion we know we have added
to the happiness of the destitute little
ones Of others, and our Christmas dinner
will be that much more savory and deli
cious, as we know that in few hours
some poor and needy ones will be enjoying
an unexpected feast, and at the Same time
blessing the thoughtful and generous do

Christmas.

The longed for time, by old as well as
Young. from its departure till its return.
will be with us next week with its hopes
fulfilled and its disappointments also. How
many things in expectancy will be realized
and the good fortune placed to the credit
OF old Chris K1ngle, who for the time will
be more universally revered than any Saint
in the calendar! Those who have hoped
and who will have their hope deferred-a
disappointment for the nonce-unlike 9TH
er and more aggravated Disappointment
of life, will quickly cast it aside, and look
and long for that Christmas, which they
hope will come for them twelve-month
hence, with every wish gratified and pleas
ures unabated.
What blessing is Christmas to the re-
membered and the forgotten! They both,
alike, throw dull care away, and forgetful
of the past. see only the present, and in in
nocent fun and frolic, its many gala hours
and it's rest from labor, are better prepared
for the stern duties of the remainder OF
the year.
To one and all, old and young, rich and
Door. the VINDICAToR wishes the full en-
ioyment of the Sacred Holiday and its
many returns, that they may be better fit
ted each twelve-month to more happily
perform the duties they are severally
charged with, and on each occasion have
greater reason to shout hozannas to the
Babe of Bethlehem.
