With learnirtg'8 light and wisdom's rays, Fain would I set the earth ablaze, Nor rest until a world of praise, To Thee were given. Then whon on earth my race is run, And a Christian's victory won . Happiness will be but just begun Beyond this vale of woe Harassed no more by fiendish foes, My ransomed jsoul will seek repose Where Eden's fountain sweetly flows, And fruit g celestial grow. The triune Godhead will be there, And praise will take the place of prayer, A blight and starry crown I'll wear, And with the angels be. There once lived in the ctwof Bos ton a merchant who, like many another, 1 was wholly indifferent to personal re ligion, lie tvas a prosperous man of the world, and entirely engrossed in business. He had. a godly wife, While she went to the sanctuary on the Sabbath, he used the day in cxm fining. his accounts, or in any way that inclination suggested. Whilo he loved her, and wished her to edjoy without hindrance her religious privileges and duties, he disregarded for himself the claims of personal religion. On one most' genial day in June, they were riding ' together to Cam bridge. Ho In business there. All natuvo was arrayed in the fulness of sprlngtldc beauty.

"Who mado all tuis?'' quietly asked the wife. 'Why, God Almighty, of course,' he replied, with some surprise at the question. 'Do you love that God?' she asked It was a natural question, directly sug gotited, and so having no abruptness. It arrested his attention in a manner that was at onco observed b' his wife. She thought and prayed within herself that it might be the Holy Spirit's means of conviction and conversion, He made no reply, and said l'utlc dur ing tlia vast of the journey On arriving at his destinatbn, he at tended to his business without uimcccs sary' words with any oncand at once star ted for home, As the hoar of retir ing drew near, the wife ventured to ask her hufeband the reason of his unusual silenoe. He replied, "Wife, that ques tion that you asked me this morning has not been out of my mind since. You asked if I loved God, Certainly 1 have no reason to say I do.
