read "Can the Ethiopian change his
skin &c." "Now in this state of sim
Iulness what does God say to us 7?
Answer "come let us reason together,
&C."
The Children then sang another
hymn, and Mr. Tucker proceeded, Now
we have learned by our lesson 50 far
that we have black hearts, if we have
not all of these fruits, we have some of
them, and to get rid of them we must
go to the Lord Jesus. and if He gives
us pure white heart, as represented
on the other board, ] will ask you what
he will put into itl" The children as
in the case of the black heart now
enumerated the contents of the white
heart, severally saying, with the read
ing of suitable Scripture passages,
z" Love-" "Hope," Peace" "Long
suffering" Gentleness," +" Goodness"
{" Faith" Meekness," Temperance"
Mr.. Tucker, "now, as | said, we have
the new heart on certain conditions, we
have to do something with it, what is
it9" Answer IF my people, which
are called by my name, shall humble
themselves &c;" also task and it shal,
be given you &c." " What becomes of
the sins of the natural heart p answer
"He His own self bare our sins DC. "
"What will be the song of the redeemed
in heaven4" All the children read in
chorus Rev. 9Th and 9th verse, and
then sang "Good news from heaven,
good news for me-"
Mr.. Taylor then addressed the classes
as follows "out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh; if contains
vinegar you cannot give honey. Mr..
Tucker has shewu here that the black
heart is full enough. If knew a man
had a heart like that black heart
should be- saellned- -tn-shun-hin for. fear
he would best me " to use a common
expression. Now would you boys and
girls trust man with money if you
knew he had all those things in his
heart 2" ("no u" 81 should have
supposed by looking at the black board
that this heart belonged to black man,
aud that to white one, but it is not
the color of the face that will tell us
what the color of the heart is. When
a man looks into his own heart he is
apt to use a telescope and can only see
a very little, compared with the many
faults he can see when he uses the
microscope for his neighbours heart
Now no man can make his heart white
by his own agencies-only God can
change his heart. We must get away
from all the evil agencies we can, but
they are everywhere. Still you must
endeavor to keep away and you viii
have given you white heart.
Mr.. Blackjack said, Now you must
all look at me. | think you sang
better this evening than you did last
time, which is a little encouragement
is it notl ("Yes, Sir !") Now singing
is thing you will all be glad to have
learned, and when you grow up and are
strong, and have to work you will, il
you have light hearts, go whistline
along, quite upright and smart, moi
with pushed up shoulders and gloomy
face. Now | will tell you story
There was a boy backing a pair o
boots and whistling very slowly. His
father called out, Johnny! !" " Yes
Sir!" "Black your boots to quicker
tune |" eyes, sir !" and the boy
whistled and blacked at a rapid rate
Now you children do everything to ;
quick tune, whatever your father u
mother may tell you to do. Now tt
turn to these hearts What is this
{" hatred y, and what is the opposite
{" love v, and so on through the con
tents of the two hearts. Now il
appears the world is divided into tive
oreat classes of DeoDle what classes
