TE DECIDED.

Without decision Of character In religion,
there can bc neither stability nor security.
How many p'OE-lng, hopeful, promising,
wel-inclincd young persons have been alto.
gether drawn aside from the ways of religion
into the paths Oi sin, for want OF making up
thoir minds on the right side of the question !
A hesitating, lingering character il SUR to he
quickly marked By the seducer and destroyer
0t men, and II almost sure 10 become his
prey. He that is almost persuaded to bo u
Christian, Is IN the greatest danger Of pcrsh-
Ing for want Of being altogether so. In the
time of Noah, we may conclude that many
fingered near the ark, ana looked at it, and
resolved 10 ask admission into IL; hut they
hesitated, the door was shut, and the flood
came and destroyed them nll.
Those who would secure the advantages OF
religion, and phrtaSe ITS solid enjOymrnts,
must enter into 1t with all their heart and
soul then every duty wilt be easy, and every
sacrifice light, There will be real peace and
satisfaction OF mind, and u conscience pos

one OF the sweetest passages IN the IjiDle ID
this one: "Underneath are the everlasting
arms" IL IL not often preached from, per-
haps because II is ielt TO be SO much richer
and more touching than anything we minis

OF infancy Is Of resting IN arms which mater

Sick-room experiences confirm the impression
when we have seen a feeble mother or sister
lifted from the bed OF pain by the stronger
ones Of tho household. In the case OF our
heavenly father the arms are felt, but not
