The market remained dull for a long time after
70 o'clock and dealings we're marked by special
weakness in Tennessee coal, which became active
and dropped from S614 to 3214. The market de-
veloped no further feature until met by large en-
gagements OF gold for shipment, when prices de-
clined rapidly and all leading stocks lost large
fractions. After delivery hour there was some
recovery from the low prices Of the previous hour
but no feature developed and weakness again
appeared in final dealings. The closing was quiet

My modest merits much malign.

REDEEMED SINNERS.

"Who gave Himself to US, that He might
redeem US from all iniquity, and purify unto
Himself peculiar peopl :" What, then,
was His object? To redeem US. to buy US
back from bondage, to save US by the pay
ment Of ransom price, not only from the
punishment of sin, but from its power, from
Its pollution, from its foul and hideous en-
brace, no less than from its swords and its
chains. 1t was to set us free from sin Itself
that Christ redeemed US; not from some sin,
but from all sin; not that we should still re-
main or afterward fall back under the do.
minion Of the very tyrant from whose power
He redeemed US; not that we should merely
exchange one hard master for another, or for
many; no. He "gavc Himself for u.s." He
laid down His lie for US, He died upon the
cross for us, "that He might redeem US from
all iniluity." Nor was this deliverance from
sin as well rs punishment intended merely
for our advantage, but for His. He had m
end to accomplish for himself. He died to
purify US. not merely that We might be pure,
and therefore happy. but also to purify a
people for Himself. Of none but purified
and holy body could he be the head. Justi-
fcaton would have done but half the work
for which Christ died; His end would not
have been accomplished If He had not re-
deemed us from iniquity as well as con-
demnation, If he had not purified q people
for H mself, for His own use and His own
honor-a people in their measure like Him
self. His exclusively. His own forever. His
inalienable right, His indefeasible possession,
His peculiar people.-[Dr. j. Alexander.
