SOMETHING TO THINK OF.

DR.. Chalmers says 'Holiness is as
strong demonstration to mys.mind of
Che powey Of God in the soul Of man,
ihan any miraculous manifestation
whatever"
No argument in favor Of Chris
tianity is equ al to its effect on men
and society.
To convert D sinner into saint is
more than to raise a dead body.
To cleanse a soul from all sin, is
more than to open blind eyes and
unstop deaf ears.
To cure a BAD temper is more than
to cure a cancer.
To bride and sanotify mlschiev-
ous and lying tongue, is more than to
quench the fires Of ten burning
Chicagos.
0! the hope of the world is, that
where sin abounded, grace did
much more abound. Not that light>
ming was swung uuder the sea, but
that Christ died. That Is the mir,
Of miracles. -Selected.i
