"For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the story which shall bo revealed in us. - itom. a : i&. . How frequently we dwelt on present trials and sufferings, rather than on " the glory which shall be revealed in us;" we think more of the 'light afiliction which is but for a moment," than of the 44 eternal weight of glory," which is in reserve for us. Paul was a "ban who knew how to work experi- salvation and in Uo present world, , is heat known, perhaps is known at all, onlyas He lifts Ilia veils fwd suffers us to atch glimpses of Ilia face. Where He withholds this manifestation of Himself, night envelopes even the loftiest mind clouded, rayless tiicht r , r- Take a case in point Tacitus, tho histori an of the era from Oalba to Domitian, an era, as he represents it, " full of misfor .tunes, atrocious wars, discord, .sedition; nay, hideous even in peace," iy, "Never by more grievous miseries of the Horn an oeopie, or. more just tokens ot uivine uis- pleasure was it provevj that . the gods wih not our welfare, out revenge. Such was the stern, repulsive aspect of providence to the subtlest intellect ot an cieut Home. An appalins scene where Divine revenge trode down all human wel fare in hopelessness and agony ! But when we turn to Holy Scripture, how different the spectacle that greets and gladdens thejajJUTho Sou of God, who is also the Saviour pf mankind, has been constituted "the Head of alt principality aud power," that He might execute the work of palvation ; and whatever i.n done on the earth is done to hasten the era when ' there shall be great voices in Heaven, say ing, The kingdoms of this world ari become the kingdoms of our nocence, or the force .of passion. DeS' deruona expires in her gentleness; 'Hamlet, witn all bis solemn majesty about him; Mac beth reels beneath the blow of destiny ; Rich ard, in the tempest ot his courage and his wickedness, finds a -last hour conformable to his cruel soul j Lear has at once exhausted lifeyind misery ; Othello has no more for which ho can exist; but the closing moments of FalstafTare gloomy, without being tragic : they are dreary and oppressive, with little ! to relieve the sinking of our thought, ex cept it bejn the presence of humanity in the persou of Mrs. Quickly. When prin and courtier Jiad furaalcen their associate, thin humble woman remained near him. The woman, whose property he squandered, and whose good name he did not upare ; this wo man, easily persuaded and easily deceived. would not quit even a worthless man m' his helpless hour, nor sneak sevcr.dv cf him . when tfcu hour was ended. Here i the greatness of Sliakspeare ; he never forgets our nature, anu in tne most unpromising cir cumstances, he compels us to feel its sacred ness. The last houra of Fahstaff he enshrouds iu the dignity of death, and bv a few simple and pathetic words in the mouth of t. .... ins ignorant out charitable hosier, he lays bare the 'mysterious struggles of an expiring soul "A parted," she says, "even iust between twelve and one, e'en at the turning of the -tide, for after I raw hint fumble with the sheets, and play with the flowers, aud smilo upon his fingers' ends, Huiew there was but one way; for his nose was as shajrp as a pen, and ' a -bubbled of gren fields. -How now, Sir John ? quoth I ; what,- man, be of good cheer.

They know yu so well that they will not " listen to tl;e voice of the charmer, charm he never so wisely." Let prudence, temperance, charity, heavenly inindedness, and devotion mark your every day life. If. you live in sin, how. can you expect other to forsake it, however earnest ly you may urge them. Levity incompatible with the dignity of your office. This -can be seen in the tri fling and frivolous conversation in which many love to engage. Madame De Stael in her admirable work on Germany, very truly " ohsrves: "If we examine the course of human -destiny, we shall see, that levity of disposition may lead to every thing that is bad in this- world. It is oniy m the child that levity has a charm : it seems as if the Creator still led the chHd by. the hand, and assisted him to tread gently over the clouds life. Bnrwhen time abandons man to himself, it is bnly in the seriousness of his sonl that ho can ffnd thoughts, sentiments ----- w and virtues." Be serlousi, for you deal with serious subiects.

Let ns now take a glance at the balance sheet, in the hope that we, also, may arrive at the'.sanfe conclusion as did the-Apostle Paul. Dr. 11 THE SUFyEElXOS OF THK In labors more abundant. In stripes above measure, In prisons more frequent. In deaths oft. Five times received I forty stripes.save one. Thrice was I beaten .with rods Once wa3 I stoned. Thrice I have suffered shipwreck. A night and day I have been in the deep. In journeys often. In perils of robbers. In perils by my own countrymen. In perils by the heathen. In perils in the city. In perils in the wilderness. Iu perils in the sea. In perils among fake brethren. " In weariness and. painfulness. In watchfulness often. In hunger and thirst. In fastings often. In cold and nakedness. Besides these things which are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the 'churches ; - the prophecy and promise is, "With righte ouaneA shall He judge the poor, and re prove with equity for the meek of the earth."' In all this there :s no divine revenge, but faithfulness rather, working oyt the purpo ses of mercy no disregard f human wrl fare, but rather its only sure protection against the malice and cunning of lite evil ! .... . one. Kveu m its sterntr aspcis, provi dence is but -the minister of Holv Love, making straight the path of the Son of Man to universal opinion ; putting Ihe nations under Ms yoke who alone- 4'hatii. power up on earth to forgive sins," (which is but another form of saying that He alone has powwr truly to bless mankind.) This is the "light shining in a dark place, which lac itus never knew. This clears away the clouds which hindered him from seeing, under the guise of nuhlic comutottonsuid national calamities the hand" of God "stem ming the torrent of a downward age," in the method most conducive to His own glory and the highest ultimate well-being of our races. Such trains of thought are apposite to the present emergency. Sorely a3 we have suf- fere I, still more sorely as we may be call i ed to suffer, le ns remember that Clod' wish 'its not revenge, but our welfare. Whatever ' may be the purpose ef our enemies, or our own purpose, tie .designs this war for the ! promotion of the kingdom of Christ.'
