A an indispensable portion God presents Himself to us His intelli gent, rational, responsible creat ures. He only can satisfy the wants of every living soul. Repentance, faith in Christ, the pardon of sin, the witness of the spirit, and complete renovation of soal are all necessarily implied in one's bein$ able to sayJ'The Lord is my portion." , "The soul was made for God, and fcln the possession of Him alone can shut up to the necessity of accept- nna ua Happiness."- we - L .41" W- P. 4' -. : .-W.' i' lie has made for the sours happi l ness and salvation, or to the neces sity of rejecting Him, and thus perishing forever. It admits of no disputing that we make n mistake seriously fatal to our well-beingj in this world ; a mistake which will prove, beyond all that we have any power to ad equately conceive of, utterly ruin ous to soul and body in the world to come, by refusing, or by neglect ing, to avail ourselves of the pro vision which God, in His wisdom and goodness, has made lor our happinessandsalvation. The word of God is, "See that ye refuse not Him" (the Lord Jesus) "that speak eth. For if they escaped not who relused him" ( Moses) "that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape" (escape what ? Whatever is implied in God's being a con suming fire) "if we turn away from llim"(the Lord Jesus) "that speak eth from heaven." 0 the hereaf ter, the terrible hereafter, that dreadful something just beyond the valley of the shadow of death, which is to be experienced and en dured by those that reject the Gos peJ of their salvation, and God as then portion in this world 1 Mostassuredly. God can do with out us;' tut we cannot do, at all, without God. His happiness does not all depend upon any ot His creatures men or angels render ing to Him the homage and service He requires of them ; but their hap pi ness depends ' upon an entire conformity to His will.

Dr. turner was suffering ex- r from a surgical operation, resulted fatally, on account of -ma age and infirmities, his will was so fully and so sweetly sunk into t the Divine will, that he uttered,' as his Qwn experience, these strong :-. expressions : "There can be no hell to one where will, is lost in God's will, If he suffered a thousand torments, heis happy, because -it Is God's will.' Sucn is the inex- . pressibly - blessed experience at ... which every believer in Christ Je- ' bus should aim; the experience ' which every believer thanks be to God for His grace may attain to, aided by the Comforter, the Di vine Helper. . God did not give us ' being for the sake of His harjm- ' ness, which- is absolute, but He . gave us being to make us the par takers of HisnaDDiness. Our nan piness necessarily proceeds from Uod. . . The measure of our happi- neBs consists in the measure of our likeness to the moral nature of , God i and the measure of our like ness to the moral nature of God - consists in tire measure of our faith A J J in God, and of our obedience to His commandments. "The more we walk after the divine counsel, the more we obtain of (he dhine image: and the more we resemble our. Maker, the more we partake of the divine favor," and the more we partake of the divine favor, the happier are we. There is no true happiness, there can be none, apart from- tloirig the will of God ; and thi is the will of God, that we keep His commandments. . The cooner we are firmly settled in the thorough conviction of this truth t There is nothing that can possibly, in any: measure, conduce to otir well being, which is opposed I. :n a in.' - L tOthe will and purpose of Ilira who mm 1 1 it mlLvhiKJCtil-t Mail ttnnrs and all worlds by the word of His power, the better for ns in time and through all eternity. Tin wisest of men, divinely in spired, declares, "The grave and destruction are never full, so the eyes of man are never satisfied." Or, according to the sense given of this proverb by an eminent com mentator, ''As the grave can never be filled up with bodies, n&i per dition with souls, so the restless desire, tho lust of power, riches and splendor, is never satisfied.'" You may surround a man' with wealth in ever so great abundance: you may raise him tf power ana position the most exalted, and that man is, of necessity wretched man withoufc-Jedaestitute of a sense of thi divine"japprobation and favor. Wis. condition, on the other hanctjipavDe ever so poor nnd humble, artopufof his pover ty and obpcuiity, looking up to Him in whom all fullness dwells, and from whom all blessings flow, that man is, of necessity, a happy man. Happiness true and substantial, and worthy the haIng it should never be forgotten does not con sist in earthly possession, in world ly surroundings. It has been judi ciously said: "Could we unvc'l the history and get a full view of the interior life of one of those magnificent structures which are usually regarded as the abode of greatness, how possible is it that it would rank in peace and happiness below 6ome of the lowliest cots in the land." kSS V slrwiW power for the accomplishment of jBUMw - good, and for supplying its posses sor with life's conveniences and comforts, hath never given happi ness, but has otten hastened mis ery, ihe words ot the poet are in perfect accord with the Divine Vol ume, Were I possessor of the earth, And called the stars my own, Without Thy graces and Thyself, I were a wretch undone." Is it possible to conceive of a bet ter definition of true happiness than this? "It springs from con sciousTectitude ; it is the conscious ness of perfect peace wilh God." that has been well and truly said to be a happy house, a home supremely blest, 'Where the Lord Jesus Christ is entertained As the most welcomed and beloved guest, With true devotion, and with rove unfeign ed ; Where all hearts beat in union with His ; Where eyes grow brighter as they look on Uim; When all are ready, at the slightest sign, To do His will, and do it heartily." How fragrant with the aroma of Heaven the community made up Of such homes! Without contro versy, nothing short of God as an indispensable portion ; the heart of every inmate echoing to the pre cious sentiment of the inspired Psalmist, "whom have I in heaven but Thee, and there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee." Can we suppose such a community?

He who spake as never man spake, with positive emphasis de clares, "A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." ' lou remember the startling lan guage of the all-wise God, which we would do eminently well to heed, in reference to a certain rich man, mentioned in the Bible, who was troubled and perplexed about the increase of his goods ; thinking within himself and saying, "What shall 1 do, because I have i.o room to bestow mv fruits "."4Iavinr de termined to mill down his barns and build greater.ifhat he might have room sufficient to hold all his fruits and Aw goods, as he pre Bumptiously regarded them', you remember what this rich man said, Think of it! Is it not the verv cli max of folly T A mah having any knowledge of the Boul, of its nature, its needs, its capacity, and or bo nn certain tenure of life, making such a speech as this) "Soul, thou hast much goodi laid up tor many years; take 'hine ease, eat, diink, pbejTbe sluggard meny." Pioroting, as ou see. bis fruits and b' goods to his soul as toe means ot its happiness .' How supremely preposterous in presuming to satisfy an immortpl spirit with corn, and wheat, and bacon, or with what will purchase these, and such like I " W hat a re ally pitiable portion do we present to our soul in offering to it much goods, as the means of its happi ness 1 and yet those who know not God have no other, and. many of them not even this.; . - . : And now,.wht do we hear com ing down front high heaven to this rich man, who thu thoughts and thus io hinfielf saidl Give atten tion ; fc ihrec ikfee.Ste?;. y re-; Bounced A pon him bjr Uif -eternal, the all-wise Gel: "Thou -fool! this night thy soul shall be requir ed of thee ; then where shall those things be which thou hast provid ed ?" And says the great Teacher, to whom, as the judge of all. every one must give account, in reference to ell that are playing the role of this rich man, be it on a large, or on a smtU, scale and there are thousands of them in the Metho dist Church are you among the unfortunate members, reader f ' &o is he" (a fool) "that layeth up treasure for himgelf, and is not rich toward God" rich in faith and good works ; rich in the hope of that large, immortal 6tore, se cured by grace divine; so is he who, to any extent, or in any sense, substitutes the world for Goil, things temporal for things spirit ual, with a view to happiness and enjoyment. In God's estimation and on God's authority, such a one is a fool. "What a spectacle to men and to angels," it has well been said, ' t a Christian man laying up treasure on earth, as if be had never heard the Master's warning ! Where your treasure is there wi'l your heart be also. In a world, full of hunger and nakedness, Christian men add field to field ; they pile up bonds in iron safes ; clip coupons, pile up more bonds and die."

Think of it I The only true God, self-existent; by whom and for whom are all things ; through whose gracious power all things are upheld and continued ; the au thor of our being and the unfailing tountain of our supplies pledges to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus glorious in holiness, good to all ; whos tender mercies are over all his works ; exhaustless in the rich es of His wisdom and knowledge ; He it is presents Himself to us as our portion, as indispensable to our happiness and peace and eternal salvation. And especially think ot it! Hear it, ye heavens! be astonished at it, 0 earth ! What blindness, what base stupidity, what vile presumption, what ex treme fool-hardiness, what supreme recklessness evinced by us in our not accepting, acknowledging, re iving upon Him as such ! He nath made us and placed us in the world, and, in mercy, keeps us here, to serve and please Him ; to seek no other good below than that to be had by an entire surrender to His all-wise requirements. , "For this, O God, Thou hast designed, -; And formed ns men for this j To know, and love Thyself, and find In T&M bur M41imi?wTr- Holv spirit, help the reader and this writer to rise to theydignity of the significance of the great God, who made and preserves us, as an indispensable portion.

Doubtless God is controlling and overruling all things, causing the wickedness and the wrath of man to praise him and restraining the remainder thereof. Iiut oftentimes, as we read, we forget this great truth, and it seems as though the devil, who is styled the "god of this world," had here pretty much his own way. Our heart is sickened by every day's report of wrong and outrage. We are moved to sigh, and to ask ''How long. ( ) Lord, how long shall the wicked triumph?"

Cli rifitx, i n V?r York Ohxrrrt'i: " Whmorvor." Some years since, as a clergyman was passing through the ward of a hospital on his way to see a child he visited weekly, he noticed a young woman who lay with closed eyes and face as white and hard looking as chiseled marble. Ashe paused for a moment she opened her eves, saving: "Who has sweet peas In his hands he had a few, with some mignonette, for the child he was lo see. 'That is the first thing she has seemed to care for during the week she has been here," remarked the nurse. 'Probably they remind her of home, maybe a mother's love." "Thay remind me of my father," she replied freely. "I never knew father sat mornings to read the Bible. "I remember the fragrance of them all these years, and fancy I feel the wind coming into the window which lifted the hair above the pale, careworn face. (), if I were only as pure and happy now as I was in those days P '"What lid he read to you out of his Bible on those mornings ?" was asked to change her thoughts, as she was evidently much excited. '"Come unto me all ye that la bor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,' was one text that I remember. But these words were never meant for me. I am the chief of sinners." " 'And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is at hirst come. And whoso ever will, let him take the water of hie Ireely, " the minister slowly repeated. The woman had sunk back now, closing her eyes. Evidently she desired no further 'conversation ; so laying the little boquet upon her pillow, he passed on. The next week when he visited the hospital, as he entered the ward where the woman lay, he was astonished at the change in the hitherto cold, impassive face. Now it was illuminated; glorified would better illustrate it. Reaching out her thin hand, she said : . I am glad to see you' "I see Jesus of Nazareth has passed this way," he answered. . "Yes, and He came so near touched the hem of His garment a was fietJ, Jr-"T" w""r ol';hoioever7oif wjiiclfl CJjuiiued up," she added." - When lie next visitea tne warn another occupied the bM in which the woman had lain.

Among this class nf baeksli ders are the ready victim-of t lie tempter the men who betray p cuniary trusts. and the weak-kneed time-servers who succumb in lime of hard pressure, and the deserters who slip away from God's worship through broken Sabbat lis, ami all the votaries of self indulgence who keep their names on church rolls and yet are mostly found in the haunts of "Vanity fair." Drifting away from God, they fall into the hands of the adversary. Need a Christian ever slip or stumble? Need he ever walk in the dark, or lose the roll of his assurance '.
