I think thoagh, that I can adopt .his mode or reasoning, ; anil prove Uni versa li?m before he! will ' his position. Let us see. As I live saith the Lord, I -have no pleaiare in the'death of the, wicked, ? but ijthat the wicked turn and live.

The whole hook of Acts. ! a; Now we see the; fulfilment of the oft-repeated say ing; HUnto him that hath shall he given from him that hath not, shall he taken away that which" he hath."i Those who close their eyes to the light emana ting from the preaching of John the Baptist, lost all the radiance emanating from "Moses, John - and Jesus. Thus God 'deals with his responsible creatures. Chorazin and Bethsaida had Jworks done in them not done in, Tyre and ' Sidoii, Now to" prove that the first named cities.were better dealt by: than the last, it must be proved that 'the temptations vtosin were no greater in the first than in the last-named cities," for, il a variety of influences hindered the il lumination and salvation of those ia .Chorazin and Bethsaida,) which did not exist in Tyre .sal- SUon, who can challenge a greater display of God's power in the first than in the last named cities. - And while the words bf the Saviour were a most appalling note in the cars of those whose corruptions were hinder ing the conversion of their better disposed neighbors; in the first named cities, it is no ground of complaint to the Tyrians'nor the citizens of Chorazin.'- And is not the repentance' spoken of, of, that national character which God demands in any people or city he perpetuates. '' And wilf not God in the final judg ment reward every citizen of the four cities accord ing to the use made by them of the respective power each had to serve bim; Or does brother Jones think the works were done ia Chorazin and Bethsaida to aggravate their damnation and that Tyre and Sidon were deprived of them for fear, they would be saved, and all together so arranged as to carry out the pre-, vioys purpose of ruining all four of the cities. Christ was delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God. But did thhV make' the hands of those who knew nothing of this counsel less wicked in crucifying. him 1 Does-God's over ruling man's wrath apologize for his wrath J Those were wicked men whom Jude 6ays were foreordained to this condemnation. Pharoah was roused up, pr ; raised up o make known God's power. -1 Does brother Jones understand that God made'Pharoah wicked to show his power? Or does he understand that being a very wicked man God developed his character- or roused him up by 1 the threatened removal of his slavec, so the people could see what he was punished for, Egypt could be illuminated and many brought , to repentance,' and God's character widely diffused, ultimately to the colonies of Greece ? ; . You will freely concede, I presume, that the word raise should - be rouseu "No man can, take more pleasure than I do, iri the declaration that God has mercy on whom he will have mercy, this should be to every Gentile a theme of devout thanksgiv ing. ; - V-. ' " 1 i : : On the power to believe, brother Jones, has some singular reasonings.
