Cur prayers from instinct, undirected by
revelation, are no eriterions of Divine nature
or government. We are assured that w e know
not how to pray a- we ought. Men often
pray for what they believe attainable; some
times wiveklesslj. Faith and harmony with
divine will are essential to successful prayers.

Hamilton, and talk about what he calls '"logic

never dreams of hra big its ferocity subdued,
but mcraly that its p ri shou'd he secured
from tho means of injury with which nature
arms her creatures, either by controlling the
animal or child, or interposing obstacles be
tween them. An c:"ortto prove this mon
strous doctrine f'om car prayers, is as un
wise as an effort lo convince u.; that the sun,
moon and stars are toys, from the cries of a
spoiled child for thcm'as they glitter in the"
brow of heaven.
The infinite is suggested by the finite ; the
incomprehensible by the known. Man's great
difficulty is to reconcile the two. God never
intended it. We conceive resistance impossi
ble to perfections of an infinite nature, and
put mind and matter to tho rack to bring about
our idea of harmony. God gives us existence
and assures us in mind and revelation that
we are free and can resist moral suasion.
Who dare affirm it more inconsistent with in
i n finite attributes, than the impossibility of
making a circle otherwise than round.

Mj Deer Brother. The pressure of unties
has prevented me from executing the desire
I Laye long felt, of acknowledging the week
ly receipt of -10 copies of the N. C. Chr: '-mi
Joy Over Sinners Repentance.
Suppose one of your brothers should
fall into the river and there sink down
under the deep waters, and before he
corJo -be rescued, he should grow cold and
pale; r 'ad seem to be dead; your father
take:; the little boy in his arms, and car
ries him home, and then they wrap him
up in flannel and lay him on the bed.
The doctor "omes and goci ito the room
with your father and mother; to see if it
is possible to save the little boy's life,
The doctor says nobody may go into the
roon. b it tho parents. They go in and
shut the door, and a -few moments is to
deejoie whether or not rha child can live.
OU! then how would you go to the door,
and walk around with a stepassoftasYe.lv
ct. a nd hearken to know whether the dear
boy lives. And alter you had listened for
some time, treading softly, and speaking
in whispers and breathing short, the doors
open, and your mother comes out, and
thei" are tears in her eyes ! Is he
dead Z says one, in a faint, sinking
whisper is he dead ? Oh ! no no
yeur brother lives and will bo well again !
Oh I what a thrill of joy do you feel.
What leaping up in gladness ! ISow
thcio is such a joy in heaven over one sin
ner that rcpenteth. The sinner has been
sick, but the Gospel has been taken as
the remedy, and he is to live forever.
Do you wontler that the angels rejoice at
it ? Rev. J Todd.

Remember the words : "Trust in the Lord
aad do good, and verily thou shalt be fed'
Sympathy. "He who has had ex
perience of great and sore trials, and has
borne them well, is the most cheerful com
panion to a sorrowing heart. Having
sounded the depths of affliction, he can
best guide his friends in them. Despond
ing Christian in the river of Death said to
Hopeful, ' I sink diep waters ; the bil
lows go over my head; all his waves go
over me. Hopeful said, Bc of good
cheer, my brother; I can feel the kcttom,
and it is good.' Having partaken of the
affliction and of the consolation, such a one
can bring a smile of peace and even tf joy
upon a care worn face, when prosperous
friends would only deepen the gloom.
Let the angel of the Lord encamp around
me to dsliver me, but give me the Man
of Sorrows for my friend. I want a f riend
who has been stricken, smitten of God,
and afflicted." Adams.

The sea is the largest of all cemeteries, and

What Preaching should be. " I
am not aware," said a holy man of God,
' that in preparing a sermon I ever in
quired what would please or displease the
people. What is immutable truth?
What do sinners need ? What do Christ
ians need ? What is the. preaching which
Christ directs and will bless ? Such have
been my ruling inquiries. Preaching
should be earnest talk."
'Men may live fools, but fools they
cannot die," says the poet. Yes, they
both can and do die aa great fools as they
lived. Not death, but God's word and
Spirit are able to make us wise unto sal
vation, through faith in Jesus Christ.
Death may make men lament their folly,
but it never administers one grain of that
wisdom which s"T" ' " ""'-
