Now is the time to make your choice: Now, while you hear his wooing voice; Now, while you have a tender heart, Oh ! now for glory make a start. Now, while you have good time and space, Now seek, niv friends, for pardoning grace; Oh ! now, while it is called to-day, Begin to watch, aud seek, and pray. Yes, now you may His pardon gain, And now be washed from every stain ; You now from sin may be set free Be bless'd for all eternity. And if you're faithful here below, In this world of sin and woe, "When your days on earth are riven, You will then "reap the joys of Heaven. ALKJUIS. iinimtutirntinn.0. For tbo X. C. Christian Advocate Tie Beheading of John the Baptist. It was an ancient custom among Eastern kings to celebrate their birth-days with feasting and entertainment. Herod, the tetrarch, who lived eoteaiporary with the Son of God, observed this custom. Oo his birth-day, he made a great supper, and invited "his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee." The occasion -was, doubtless, unusually brilliant. A more magnificent display of gaudy equip age has seldom presented itself to the ad jmrimi gaze of men. Royalty was there, in its costly robes ; military chieftains were there, with their imposing decora tions ; and the aristocracy of the land was there, in its spleudor and pride. The most costly preparations had been made ; the different apartments were illuminated with a brilliancy befitting the palace of a kinr; and the tables groaned beneath a weight of luxuries, the most delicious and rare that could be obtained, from every land. The sweet strains of music rose with inspiring swells upon the night air, and died away in the softest cadences upon the distant breeze. At last, as the crown ing hilarity, tl'inchtg was introduced. Lovely damsels, decked in the richest ta pestry, threaded in moving splendor the airy circles and giddy mazes of the dance. Damsel, doubtless, vied with damsel for the distinction. What lofty movements ! what graceful bows I '. what fascinating smiles ! ! ! But among them all, there was one whose dancing eclipsed the others' as far as the meridian sun eclipses the most distant star. It was truly overpow ering. Herod, the king, was so complete ly subdued as to promise her, a3 a reward, anything she would ask, even to the half of his kingdom. Elated with this splen did promise, the prospect of boundless wealth, she skipped away in eestacy, to advise with her mother as to the boon she should request. At length she returned, and said, " Give me, by and by, in a charger, the head of John the Baptist"' " The king was exceeding sorry." He be knew hi-.i fc be a Many a had he vn Li- as kt cs of repe-ritar.ee, 3"I ig f-f the " Ui.uA, of the sins of the I world." He .- well pica1-'."! with i John's ministry a to practice many things I he taught, and in all probability trubmitted I to hid baptism. Poor, deluded man! i For hi. o.'tii'.- sake, and f-.r their akrs 'who sat with him, he would not reject j her." Oh, how punctilious! His con science wouM not let hiiii violate a wicked oath, an3 vet ho did not scruple to batcher God's prophet .Many a promise, h r man, for th sake of a ia-h 'i-3 ieopardizo'1 the solvation of Lis soul. Hero J. how ever, might have saved the life of John, without violating hi oath, for he had only promised the "half" uf his kingdom, whereas the head of John the Baptist was worth more than his whole realm. Friendly reader, do you see that, man . vonder, followed "bv a few servants, moving along through the darkness, with a lamp in one baud and an axe in the other? He is the executioner, and that axe is to sever the head of John the Baptist from his shoulders. If you wish to witness one of j the most atrocious murders ever coinmit- ted, follow him. There, just before him, is a building of masiivo stone, with iron S doors ; that is the prison Jiouse in which j John lies bound in heavy fetters. On en- tering its gloomy cells, we find in chains a large number 01 prisoners ; one has com mitted robbery, another murder, &c. ; but we pass by all these, till we come to a man ! clothed in " camel's hair," with "a leath- j ern girdle about his loins." This is the j man who b iptized the Son of God, and thousands of others who waited upon his ministry. This is the man whose only crime was the thundering of God's truth upon the ears of wicked royalty. This i3 the man who is to be martyred to gratify the whims of a wicked dancer. Poor, helpless, holy man ! See how they cord his limbs; now they bear his head to the blocK ; now the executioners axe rises slowly above his head ; the fatal blow is stricken, and John the Baptist is no more! The head was placed in a charger, a large dish, and, swimming in blood, it was pre sented to the dancing damsel, who receiv ed it into her delicate hands, and bore it proudly to her mother. "Hard-hearted girl !" say you. Perhaps not unusually so. She who has beeu well drilled in dancing is generally so hardened, that, with a little effort and encouragement, she could toss the bloody head of a minis ter of God, who should dare to thuuder the dancer's doom upon her ear. The mo ther, who is more solicitous about her daughter's dancing accomplishments than the interests of her daughter's soul, is equal to any enormity, and could receive from her daughter's hands a minister's head, ftan.cvt wia. i-... r, fVo.-. . .. Dancing is still practiced, with the most evil results. The above is only one case of a thousand, which has resulted in blood shed. The press teems with announce ments of murders, which have resulted from difficulties engendered in the ball room. This is only one species of it3 fearful fruit ; and yet it is countenanced by some who call themselves Christians. Eternity alone will unveil the long cata logue of crimes which owe their existence to the ball-room. Gentle reader, set jour face acaiust this evil, aud strive for a more noble distinction. AFOLLOS. For the N. C. Christian Advocate. The Sacredness of the Ministry. The work of the minister is not to build up a reputation for himself, but to promote the cause of Christ; not to labor for the honors of men, but for the honor that comes from God ; not to gain wealth, but to save souls. On entering the work, he consecrates himself to Christ, promises before God and men to give himself wholly to the work to which he believes God has called him. Iu this act of consecration, he becomes the property of Christ. His person, talents, time aud reputation, all are Christ's. Whatever success attends his labors is the gift of God, and whatever praise is due for such success, is due to God. The minister has nothing whereof to glory, only that he belongs to Christ. Every minister does, and should, feel some concern about his personal safety and his reputation ; but he should not forget that his greatest safety is in duty's path, and in an abiding trust in Christ. Will not the Lord take care of His own ? Is He not able ? Is He not willing ? Surely He is. He may permit His minister to pass through severe trials; may suffer him to be injured in person or reputation ; but will esteem it all as done to Himself, while a reward shall be given to the faithful suf ferer. Let the minister of the Gospel srive himself no unnecessary concern about these things. Let him be careful to keep himself pure in the sight of God, and fear not what man can do unto him. Whenever this fear of men drives the minister to the use of carnal weapons for his safety, his great Master and Protector leaves him to light his own battles, and iie realizes tne trutn 01 me taiuj; ui Christ, "All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." The min ister can do more with his enemies on hi3 knees, ia devout prayer to God, than he can in any other way. That prayer draws into his service the power of God, which can work in thousands of ways in his be half, and that power must prevail. Now, if the minister belongs to Christ, what an awful responsibility is assumed by the man that endeavors by any means to injure him in person or character. His blow may be aimed at the minister's person, but it falls on the person of Christ. It may be di rected towards the minister's reputation, but it is felt by the cause of the Saviour. And every such blow will recoil upon the head of limi that directed if, at the fiual judgment, when Jesus shall declare, " Ye did it unto me. It behooves us, tnen, to bo careful how we treat the messengers of Christ.
