Israelitss do not need any new creed
but a genuine faith in the old one. Nc
new departure is requisite, but deeper
realization of the power of old truths.
Freshness in the presentation Of divine
truth, force in its application, feeling
and fervcr il,itS ministration, cannot be
manufactured. They must spring from
the spirit of preacher aud teacher. And
if they are visible in word and work the
people will respond.-Jea0ish MesSemqer
EVIL-SPEAKING.
1t is not altogether creditable to
human nature that as coon as the fall
of a man hitherto reputable is made
nuhIic. g great number Of persons make
haste 10 tell whatever evil they know
of him. 1t is to be feared that they dc
not always conGne themselves to what
thev know. Some of the busiest OF
these informers sustained confidential
relations to the fallen, and offer this as
a certificate of authenticity for Wha
tbey now disclose. They appear not tc
he abashed by the public knowledge
that they were confederates in lniquity
If they had not known so much the
nuh!ic would have q better opinion o
them. It looks as ii they we're quits
the canals OF their late a sociate in vii
