THE DYING CHRISTIAN CHILD. '
On a Lord's day at the interval of public wor
ship, Mr. and ;Mrs. D. requested the pastor to
visit them, adding r"Our little daughter wishes
you to come and talk with her,; for she thinks
that sho will not live long." Though the pastor
felt a sense of self-reproach that he had not be-,
foro visited the 'interesting family and pious
child,! ho inquired and found that she talked
muclii of the -ministers, read much in the IJible,
in tracts, and j Sabbath-school . bookst and do-lightcd-tn
the conversation and prayers of Chris
tians. Hia promised soon to visit them,. and in a
few days afterwards entered the dwelling of lit
tle Jarve D. After one of those cordial welcomes
that tell to the heart far more than eloquence", of
words, and the preacher was seated dear 'the
cbuch of the sick child,, the mother remarked,
"khc was afraid you 'would not come to see her,

have come to our know ledge. One is so remark
able, that we cannot forbj-'ar.relatiag juo our rea
ders. The subject of it is a young man, engaged
in a public establishment, and in the employ of
a pious individual. His former efiorts to intro
duce his banelul doctrines into the establishment,
were a source of great annoyaiice to his employ
er. He embraced every opportunity to expose to
visitors his uttercontempt oi all tiie sacred things
of th gospeli i is bold b'aspheane, and his
scbrnjful sneers, w-ere alike shocking to decency
and religion. The vile print Jwhieh weekly dis
seminates its moral poison through oar communi

linder the notice of the visitors: of the estabhish
ment, though his employer as vigilatitly sought
to destroy it, whenever introduced there. With
al, he was given to occasional fits of intemperance
in which ins treatment to ins; family rendered
him a terror where he ought to have been a com
fort and support. His great; usefulnes in the
establishment, alone reconciled his employer to
the utterance of his wicked principles, and his vi
cious conduct. T

gave delightful' evidence of the renewing powder

answers to Iii3 questions respecting God and lea
ven, who previously .to his introduction tahe
Sunday School, may have been wholly unac
quainted with the author of his being, expoa-d
too to the danger of being the victim of ignorance
all his days. He may indeed hitherto have heard
of God-but only in blasphemous imprecation of
his holy name, blasphemies in which himself
had learned, too soon, freely to iom. Now he is
taught not to take his name in vain, and is heard J
reverently praying to him, saying in the words
of the Saviour, t'Our' Father, who art in heaven-"

Again, anotner one may te siugieu out who was
weH nigh being ruiueu by parental indulgence,
and had become petulant, belf-willed and almost
ungovernable. Now gentle as a lamb, he de
lights in his Sunday School exercises, loves his
techer, is docile, obedientand amiable in his dis
position, firovmg by his improved conduct even
atjhome, what a beneficial influence has been cx
eiised upon him in the Sunday School.
'Instances of such changes, the history of alr
rnst every well regulated and properly conduct
ed Sunday School might record.
Jbut greater happiness than is experienced from
witnessing such , results, is enjoyed by many
w!io are cnq;a ged in this blessed system ot instruc

I These schools are not few in which there are
stholars who kneel side by side with their belov
ei teacher, to receive at the altar of the Church,

ptr which himself has instituted a3 a means by
which we may by faith, hold communion with
bin to the end of our life. A parent no doubt is
g-nlified when he can have i his children assem
bled at his table partaking oftheir daily bread.
Hut even his is a joy by no means so thrillinrr a3
tint which reaches the heart of the devoted Sun-s

bten endeavoring J.o instruct in the great salva
tion, are beheld in. token of the intere;t they do
take in it, pressing forward, to "gather from their
I'-lher's board, the bread that lives beyond the
tomb.

who, in the Sunday-school, j faithfully feeds the

the bread which she there had cast upon the wa

least, returned to her. Having completed their
course, of studies at the General Theological
Seminary, thej young men had repaired lo their
respective dioceses to make there publicly, the
vow, which in their hearts they had already, it is
presumed, often made, and to receive the.imposi- !
tion of consecrated hands, that they might go

Episcopal charactei for nearly a half a century
has been preserved to the church, the hair of his

station within the holy place, and the young man
