The regenerative power of virtue inherent
in a people was thus tersely expressed by
Lord John Russell: "There is no necessity
in the nature of things that nations should
die; and history points to no people, which
while strong in faith, in reverence, in truth
fulness, in chastity, in frugality, in the vir-
tues of the temple, and of the hearth, has
sunk into atropohy and decline. We may,
therefore, conclude that SO long as mora,
energy fails not, the life of the nation will
not fail.
Henry Ward Beecher, in his sermon last
Sunday said: II am not one that believes in
the resurrection Of the literal body, nor that,
literally my bones shall be covered again
with my identical flesh, nor the blood throh
in these veins and arteries Nevertheless,
will never drop the language of the days
when men did believe it-that is, almost
since the advent, or before the advent o.
Christianity. There is a shock given to
superior sentiment when the body is discard
ed and thrown out as something worn out
and worthless. All thatis highest, all thai
noblest, in human consciousness revolts a
any Indifference of this kind.'

Talmage in his sermon on s'Daniel playing
the fooP' says: ''What is that man doing
in Bowling Green, N "a Well, he going
in for ticket for transatlantic voyage
He is quarreling with the clerk about the
spots, the red spots on the ticket, and he il
quarreling about the manner of the CLERK
who hands him the ticket How long has he
been standing there's Three weeks. Mean
while, perhaps twenty steamers have gone out
of port. l hear the shrek of the steam tug
that should take him to the last vessel thai
could bear him to his engagement in Lon
don. Still he stands in Bowling Green dis
cussing the ticket. What do you say in re-
gard to that man? You say he is fool
Well, in that very way are many men acting
in regard to the matters of the soul. They
are caviling about the atonement, the rec
spots on the ticket-about the character o.
the minister who hands them, the ticket
about whether it has a Divine or human sig
nature; and meanwhile all their opportuni
ties for heaven are sailing out of the harbor
and hear the last tap of the bell announc
ing their last chance for heaven. Go aboard
Do not waste any more time In higgling, ant
carping, and criticising, and wondering, an6

ing the fool"
