Oh ! many a tuneful voice is still

I turned to seek with lingering step,

For those who had Uesied that lowly roof,
And made the hearthstone glad ;
And I found them all, where the willow

Some cherished form was resting there, "

I am forth again in the wide, cold world,

The sunshine steals through the hanging

With a softened, holy light,
And silent stars gleam purest there
In tho hush of the summer night.

Future punishment the Bible.
Does the Bible teach the endless pun
ishment of the wicked ? The Univer
salists deny that it teaches any such
doctrine. We affirm that it does. To
the Bible, then, will we appeal. The
endless punishment of the wicked
is evidently taught in that class of pas
sages which represent the punishment j which are never forgotten and are of
of the sinner as eternal : "Then shall use to them through all their lives.

"It is better for thee to enter into life
maimed, than having two hands or two :
feet to be cast into everlast'ng fire." !
Matthew, 18 ch. 8 verse. "And many
of them which sleep in the dust shall :
awake,some to everlasting life,and some
to shame and everlasting contempt." j
Dan. 12 ch. 2 verse. W hat do these i
passages prove, if they do not prove !
thA rndlosss niinishment, nf the wiidced ?'
But the Universalists say that the
words translated everlasting and eter
nal do not mean endless, and therefore
these passages do not teach endless pun
ishment. To this we would reply, that
the objection would prove too much even
for Universalists. 1. The same terms
are used to express the self existence
and eternity of God. When His un
limited existence is expressed by tha
inspired writers, He is called the ever
lasting God the eternal God the
God from everlasting to everlasting.
One of two things, then, must be true:
either these words do express endless
duration, or the Bible does not teach
the eternity of God.
2. The sama words are applied to the
duration of God's kingdom and govern
ment. "Thy throne,0 God,is forever and
ever the everlasting kingdom." Now
is God's kingdom .o be destroyed and his
government come to an end : Shall the
throne of the Eternal fall the sue p-
drop from the hand of Omnipotence,
and anarchy roll its flood of desolation
over the universe of God, to please the
TJniversalist ?
3. The same words are used to ex
press the endless duration of the hap
piness of the righteous. We ask, then,
why should these words mean endless
duration, when arjplied to God, the du-
ration of His government, ana tne au-1
ration of the happiness of the righteous,
and not mean endless duration when
applied to the punishment of the wick
ed ? It can not be from the force and
meaning of the words themselves, for
if they at any time mean duration with
er. nd if they rightly and properly
' ' . 1
Tiavft that meaning in any case, they
may have it in another, unless the na-
ture of the noun 10 wmcu mey ap
plied positively forbids it. But no
such necessity csthat exists in connec
tion with the punishment of the wick
ed, to limit the meaning ot tnese worua
when thus used. The souls of the
wicked will certainly exist forever, and
may therefore be punished forever.
4. These words uniformly express
the longest duration possible with the
Teron? and things with which they
stand eottiact-jl. This all will aim:t.
And if such Le tho case, is it not cvi-
at when applied to the r.itr.uu

Pleatant Recollections of the Class-room.
Mr. Editor : It is evident that
those who attend properly-conducted
class-meetings, -with a desire to be ben
efited, as Christians, seldom ever fail to
love them. Hence the fact that the
opposition to the institution is general
ly among those who do not belong to
our church, or those members of our
church who have never attended them
in the proper spirit. But why do those
who properly attend them love them so
well : This question is not so easily
answered by one unacquainted with
those spiritual exercises which consti
tute a well-conducted class meeting.
To such it may be a marvel indeed that
any sensible person should love so well
services which to them appear to be so
dull and monotonous. But to one who
has become acquainted with the in
stitution and been partaker of the
benefits so often derived from attending
them, it is no wonder that they are lov
ed. In fact the wonder with such an
one is, that every body does not love i
them. In these meetings, I presume,
it is not uncommon for young Chris
tians to learn lessons from the plain
experiences given by older Christians,
for he would soon be tempted again. J
In the class-room, he learned from!
those in whom he had implicit confi-!
dence that all Christians were tempted, j
and that temptations, if not yielded to, ;
were not sin. Also, that they were ro ;
be expected and resisted. And that;
the most success-ful mannor,to resist, was j
on the knee.-s, in prayer to God. He j
heard the old Christians speak of their j
trials and of pravinff for crace, and!
of the deliverance sent of God, and of
the lov which they felt on such occa-
sions. A his was learned at a gooa
time, and was then, and is now, of the
greatest spiritual profit. May it ever
be. Many scenes in the class-meeting
are of the most encouraging character.
Perhaps a very plain, but earnest ex
perience, accompanied with tears of
joy or sorrow, will have the happiest ef-
-w- .11
tect on all present. 1 say tne happi
est effect, because it will fill all with
mi -m - .1 sj , 1
joy. ihe Methodists usea to Deneve
in what they were pleased to call get
ting happy. And whenever we im
prove Methodism until Methodists do
not get happy, we shall have a body
without a soul, and as the body decays
without a soul ; so will Methodism.

as some severe trial and great deliver

Some years ago, a Russian nobleman
was travelling on special business in
the interior of Russia. It was the be
ginning of winter, but the frost had set
in early. His carriage rolled up to an
inn, and he demanded a relay of horses
to carry him on to the next station
where he intended to spend the night.
The innkeeper entreated him not to pro
ceed ; for he said there was danger in
travelling so late; the wolves were out.
But the nobleman thought the man
merely wished to keep him as a guest ;
he said it was too early for wolves, and
ordered the horses to be put to. He
then drove off, with his wife and hi3
only daughter inside the carriage with
him.
On the box of the carriage waa a
serf, who had been born on the noble
man's estate, to whom he was much at
tached, and who loved his master as he
the hardened snow, and there seemed
no signs of danger. The moon shed
her pale light, and brought out into
burnished silver the road on which they
were going. At length the little girl
said to her father, "What was that
strange howhng sound that 1 jut,t

that a pack of wolves had scented them
out. lhe nobleman tried to calm the
anxious fears of his wife and child.
At last the baying of the pack was
distinctly heard. So he said to his
servant, "When they come up with us,
do you single out one, and fire ; and 1 1
will single out another ; and while the i
rest are devouring them, we shall get
on." As soon as he put down the win
dow he saw the pack in full cry behind,
the large dog-wolf at their head. Two
shot3 were fired, and two of the wolves
fell. The others instantly set upon
them, and devoured them : and mean-

up with the carriage again. Again
two shots were fired ; and two more
fell, and were devoured. But the car

shared the same fate. The carriage
labored on as fast as it could with the
two remaining horses ; but the post
house was still distant.

master, "I have served you ever since

priae of ignorance is admirably taken
off. It is a fair and legitimate subject
for burlesque. But does not the affec
tation of learning, in another class of
preachers, equally merit the lash of
satire.
Let & youag clergyman, instead of a
sound education, bring from college
only the merest smattering of Latin,
Greek, and the sciences, he is sure nev
er to neglect any opportunity of making
a display of his learning.
About three years ago, a preacher
of that class was settled at no matter
where. In nearly every sermon he
treated his hearers to a criticism upon
the English translation of his text, tel
ling them how the Hebrew or Greek
of the original should have been ren
dered. His pulpit performances were
larded with physiology, geology, biolo
gy in short, with every ology but
theology. Of the latter they were re
markably destitute.
The ignorant listened with open
mouthed wonder, admiring his sermons
all the more, the less they understood
them. There was a member of hi3
church, an acquaintance of mine, who
was a scholar, and a ripe, exceeding
one. He kindlv. and in Drivate. ad
monished the young Divine on the sub
ject of the style and matter of his ser
mons. The preacher highly reBented
this act of true brotherly kindness, and
termed it "impudent ojjiciouaness.''

Being on a visit to his father, he
was deeply grieved t find the Church,
which he had left in a state of prosper
ous activity, languishing, lukewarm,
and weak. His thoughts were much
occupied with the subject, and,of course,
it was the matter of earnest and fre
quent prayer. In this state of mind,
one morning, he was walking over the
fields to a neighbouring house, when
suddenly he seemed to be in a room
where a number of people were assem
bled, apparently for worship. The room
he recognised as an apartment in the
uouse ot a neighbour, wnere a prayer-
meetmg was to be held on the evening
of that day. Had he stood in the midst
of it he could not have been more con
scious of the scene. There wa3 nothing
! of the dim, or shadowy, or dreamy about
it. He recognised the people, noticed
where they st and stood, remarked his
father near the table, at which a preach
er was rising to give out a hymn, and
near the middle of the congregation he
saw a man named C, for whose salva
tion he felt particular anxiety, stand
ing with his son beside him. While
gazing with astonishment upon the
scene, he heard the words, "Go and
tell C. that he has an offer of salvation
for the last time." j
Naturally supposing that the too
great concentration of mind upon one I
subject had induced some hallucination
of the senses, Dr. Bond fell down on
his knees and besought God to preserve
his reason. The scene, however, con
