A Methodists, we know the value of Class-meetings ; but there are many people, and some whose piety we never question , who do not know the value of such meetings. I cannot, however, expect to reach persons without the ! pale of our own communion ; so that 1 an extort to convince others of the un I told value of class-meetings, would be time and labor lost. Still it is proper 1 to stir up the pure minds of our own people upon this subject, and keep it prominently before them. The object of this article is to show that class- final holiness and happiness of j meetings are nurseries of piety, n ? Universal!.-ts say it does. U Associations are profitable. We think it does not. Then to the I Every one Avill acknowledge the truth Bible we will appeal. Let us now ex- of this proposition. In scientific as amine some of the leading proof texts sociations, thoughts and views are free- on which Universalism relies for sup-1 ly interchanged, and new3 and impor- port. ii e have not room in one article ! tant discoveries are developed. Be toco into a minute examination of ! sides tins, they have a new stimulant to go forward in their inquiries andim these texts. We shall therefore class ify them, and by presenting the true principle o provement3. lne results ot such com interpretation, enable our - mingling of members of the same craft, ot such stimulant, and exertion, are readers to decide for themselves wdiat is the true meaning and proper appli cation of such passages. Much reliance i3 placed by Univer sal ists on that class of texts in which Christ i3 said to have "tasted death for every man ;" to have died "for all ;" to have "given himself a ransom for all ;" to be "the propitiation for the sins of the whole world ;" and to be the "Lamb of God, that takcth away the sin3 of the world." Ileb., 2 ch. 9 verse ; 2 Cor., 5 ch. 15 verse ; 1 Tim., 2 ch. G verse; John 2 ch. 2 ver.; John, 1 ch 29 verse. Do these passa ges teach that Christ will save all men? They do not. Nor..dq fJW.e?v1P(?fl InucU as imply tui3. A tLcV tc.cix is that by His suffering and death Christ has made atonement for an, and thereby made salvation possible for all men. But the fact that a way has been provided, by which all men may be saved, is no proof that all will be saved. The way of salvation is one nd the walking m tnat way is now before the astonished gaze of the world in valuable improvements, in al most all the Arts and Sciences. There are also literary associations accom plishing a great amount of good to the world, by the earnest, delight, and sacrificing exertions of their members. If scientific and literary associations are so advantageous to persons of the same pursuit, we may readily conclude that religious meetings will result in like effects. We are constituted for society ; society brightens the hearts of men ; there is a magnetism of con tact in the class-meeting, full of ener- Yu2iPdiif Ifer re --ptiArfWi-uc , selves, but in contact clash them to getherand warmth and brightness dazzle upon the sight. In proportion a , mwt and labor in a common cause, will we love and esteem each other, and feel an interest m each other's welfare. This is the natural effect of contact of mind upon mind- i 1. nnrl T II fa U 1 K ' ' 111 Huv T IUU1LL, aim .." o , . - ri: ,irmn fPP 1TKT rided is a very ia-nuS "r- rr. v liv meeting irequenuv i " a. .1 wo rr r,hfr Solvation provu different thing from salvation enjoyed. The one is God's work, the other is man's. God has opened up the way ;, man must walk in it. God has provi ded the salvation ; man must enjoy it. The invitation to the marriage-feast nor the rich provision made, did not avail those who refused to comply with the invitation ; nor win me wiunuu provided by Christ benefit those who refuse to avail themselves of this rich provision.

Thinking of the great loss of our bereaved brethren, with whom we all sympathize most sincerely, the ques tion has been presented to my mind, lias not the Church suffered loss also in their death 't I am persuaded that the influence of the ministers' wives upon the church and the world is not sufficiently understood or appreciated. Too little is said about them too little attention paid them. I am not sure that they should not be held up as the ; i ft t - t .i most seii-denymg, and consequently the most deserving of love and honor, of the servants of Christ. The world does not know how much it is indebt ed to them for the self-sacrificing spirit of those who preach the word of life. The cause of Christ demands con stant, habitual self-denial ; especially is this true with regard tfthose who go forth to sow, as the Methodist itinerant doe3, "beside all waters." Unaided by Christian sympathy and the sweet en couragements of !ove,how few are "suf ficent for these things." The minister must find some one to help him bear the burden of his cares and responsibilities, and to smooth down the roughness of the stern real ities, of a life devoted to the salvation of men. This he finds in the person and Christian character, of a pious companion in all his joys and sorrows his wife. The human heart was formed for love and communion wLh those of kin dred sentiments and feelings, and when under the influence of the religion of Jesus, it is capable of more pure, chaste and holy affection than before. The minister, amid the admiration and flat tery of the world, or even the Chris tian love of his brethren, feels the lack of a pure heart gushing forth as a foun tain the streams of affection and fideli ty. Is not this the reason why, with hardly an exception, our preachers, as soon as practicable, find themselves a friend, a confidant, a companion in one, whoso love is purer than all others, and CTvations-ftf Bttttvv, that the generality of ouf preacuer s Urr.a ovn r,nw. bolv. oiou3 women ; the notices of their deaths, published in our church papers every year, testi fy the same. Most of them have been reared in ease and plenty - many m circumstances of affluance. Have there been, to them, no struggles between a stern, imperative sense of duty, and the pleasanter drawings of inclination to case and worldly comfort, and have xi -kot snevifices. no glorious triumphs of faith ? and when they die as most of them do m youth, a- and lar trom iatner apply to their wives : "Tfvey lire hard and work hard, but always die veil." ROANOKE. April 25, 1856. Now. What is it? That point in duration which links the two eternities; that fitting moment which, as it emer ges into the present, vanishes into the past. A beat of the pulse measures it ; a heart-throb a breath. While one utters the word, it comes is gone. What of it ? Especially this :; It is, the accepted time the day of saltation. As it flies, God waits to be gnieloas. Listen I Divine love speaks. "Unto you, O men, I call. The great expia tion has been made. The fountain is open. That blood is sufficient. Who soever will may live ; from 'leath in sin rise to glory. I am a just od?ndyet a Saviour. But delay not. Zfow: not to morrow. Time rushes. Life ebbs. Death hastens. What met are at that last now, they are forever.? Its moral hue colors the illimitable cges." Will you waste it ? What- this breath into which such interests; crowd ; on which hangs eternity! Wtsteit! Are you mad? Must truth le unheeded ? love rejected? heaven lost? Waste it! Ease, pleasure, gold, fame--throw them all away, if need be ; not moments. Seize them hold them ! !

Dear Audience My text you will find by consulting the first verse of the first chapter of the book of human de pravity, which read3 as follows : I, Me, and Myself. The text naturally divide3 itself into three parts : First, I. This is the first person in the human trinity. I told him so ; knew how it would be ; it i3 as I said ; he would not do as I desired him ; I first suggested the plan ; did you know our good Bro. A.? join ed him into the Church ; baptized him ; closed his eyes ; preached his fu neral. You know Prof. B. ? taught him when he was a boy. You have heard of Parson C. ? knew him when a poor boy, first brought that young man out, told him then he would make a great man. You have seen Doc tor D. ; presume gave him his first Lirt; .Ijrave. lawverE, his first case, hd,d 'something to do in mating eveijr rrreat and good man. . Secondly, Me. This, my audience, is the second person in the human trin ity. After hearing of me, he came to see me ; and told me he coull not suc ceed without me ; for his confidence m me caused him to consult me; and his reverence for me made him esteem me. What did she say about met Do you reckon she loves met He came to see me, and what do you think he said Thirdly, Myself. This is the third per son in the human trinity.

Many persons! i have an idea that Christianity isa thin j for canonical times and consecrated ; places ; that it is a very good thing ! for the Sabbath, and very proper for the house of God ; that consecrated I hands should onlv touch consecrated j things. What a misconception is this ! j Christianity 13 for -every-day life, for the Exchange, the parliament, the pal ace, the shop, the closet and the drawing-room. Christianity is meant to be in perpetual spring. It 13 not a thing for Sunday, that ceases upon Monday; it is a perpetual influence. 8th.

All God's blessings, natural and gra cious, are conditional. This must be a tree agent, auu trould so : for man is him without his co-operation w OJll- i 1 i. destroy his free agency, and violate a universal law of the divine government. That this ceneral provision will not ave man without his own action, is ev ident from the fact, that though it has been made, and provided, ever since .1 .11 ti 1r.-inpil vet. man smneu, u-n aic nuv.x.. But we see and feel that those who have complied with the conditions have been forgiven have enjoyed this sal vation. There is another class of texts ok which Universalis rely to support "but, but that all should come to repen tance ;' "who will have all men to be saved.'' Ezek., 33 ch. 11 : 2 Peter, 3ch.9; 1 Tim., 2 ch. 4. But we ask is it here asserted that an men m u saved? Certainly not These and :.;i.,v M!1(rM onlv teach the general v inn.nf (iotk and his reaumeoa to pardon and save au wuo u for pardon and seek salvation. Ihe orimpnt which Universalis derive from such passages stands thus : hat over God wills will come to pss.

Often have I known men embrace religion and join the Church that were before drunkards. Seldom have I ever known such to do any good or to save their souls who did not entirely abandon the twigged 'groggery' after he joined the Church. Often have I known a man of very moderate talents make a good class-leader; but seldom have lever known a man with any kind of talents make a good class-leader who was fre quently running to the preacher to "beg off."
