certainly can. But our work is different
from theirs. What is the will OF Got
concerning us? II is our duty to repent
fOrsake our sins, turn to the Lord and
seek salvation. This is His will because

might envy it, for after he repents and
drinks the cup to its bitter dregs he feel'

God requires Of us to do, and do II
promptly, Sometimes he calls us to work
sometimes to suffer. We must not bG
governed by circumstances. We are to

both by precept and example. On
the mount He taught by precept, and
in the garden by an example. It
will take great deal Of grace to enable
us to do His will at all times, but He will
give it; and II we have il to enable US to
live right, We will die right. Hclfged

seekers to come forward. Only one re-

EVENING.


Bro. Webb preached from the words
"Iiut |, Thy servant, feared the Lord
from my YOUTH" After noticing the
events that led to the speaking OF the
words Of the text he introduced his theme
early piety. lie argued it first from
the Importance in which II Is held by God
Himself. "SOn, give Nc thy heart" "Re.
member now thy Creator In the days Of
thy YOUTH" &c. TO the incOrrigible
youth the Scriptures abound in the most
fearful warnings. lie showed the great
est favor to the Young who hearkened to
His voice. lie often called the young to
special work. Youth Is the period Of
dependence, and ought therefore to be
the period Of piety. lie appealed TO the
young Of the congregation to reflect for
u moment on tho goodness Of God toward
them. Surely this ought to draw them
TO God. The young man who gives his
heart early to God attains to n grand
nobility. The laurels Of Cesar are
small compared to what lie may wear.
Those who embrace religion while young
have greater reason for hope. They are
also far more useful. They give n
whole life OF active and condcScending
usefulness. No difference what his sta.
tion In life, hc makes the world better
for having lived in 1t. Many men arc
useful who are not Christians, but how
much more useful would they bc II
they were Christians The Christian
youth Is safe; he Is safe from the great
mplntions Of the times. Take away our
Christian religion and our sons and
daughters are liable 10 fall at any mo.
ment. II Is safety from atlliction, II Is. a
support in times Of ailliction, It Is safety
from the sting Of death. 7


lie closed with very urgent appeal 10
the young to become Christians, from the
fact that 80 many die young. He por.
trayed in glowing cOlorS the downward
course Of the prohigatc young man, and
also young lady.


Attho close n considerable number pre-.
sented themselves at the altar as seekers.
There are great indications Of good At
present. Gods people are praying, and a
great seriousness seems to pervnde the
minds of all. Some one said n thousand
souls for Jesus before the meeting closes.
Why nOt2 According to your faith so
be Il unto you." REPORTER.
