wealth when they have not q sixpence, |

The resurrection is only the to-mor-
row morning OF death, and when we
think of the grave we should do so as
in the happy days Of our childhood we
thought of our bed when we retired to
1T for the night, expecting an elder
brother TO call US in the morning and
take us with him on q pleasant exeHr-
sion.-Dr. William 81. Tdyl0r.
Lett all remember. the followers of the
Lamb should be lamb like that is,
gentle, patient and resign ed TO the will

mot be reeoneiled to unholy practices.
The lust of the flesh and the pride of
the heart destroy much people. i,
The common mercies we enjoy all
sing Of love, just as the sea-shell, when
we put it to our ears, whispers of the
deep sea whence it came but if we de-
sire TO hear the ocean itself, we must
not look at every day blessings, but at
the transactions Of the orueifxion. He
who would know love, let him retire to
Calvary and see the Man of Sorrows
dice H. SpGrgeon. H
i find these two truths a stay to nv
sonl: the efficiency OF the atonemenE, +
and the stability of the promise Just
now this seems my all, and enables me
10 look up to God as my father, although
/ am has Borrowing child; for as / think +
OF my sins and siHfulness, il almost
seems as Il must sorrow even in the
land where sorrow shall be no more
known .-sIpaas. Il
When the pangs of sorrow seize us
When the waves Of trouble roll,
! would lay my head on Jesus
Pillow OF the troubled soul
Surely none can feel like Thee,
WeepiRg One Of Bethany
ttJesus went i''--that tear Of sorrow
Is legacy of love:
Yesterday, To-day tomorrow,
He the same doth ever PROVE.
Be Thou all In all To me,
Living One of Bethany.
