of Christian men are laid, to show their faith in CHRIST'S promises through the Church, and the faith of their friends and survivors.

Oh, my brethren, let us who are parents faint not in this task of training up the young to a reverence for GOD and man!—a reverence for all holy things, and times, and persons. So shall we do what in us lies, to bring round again that holy and humble feeling, that courtesy, that meekness, that charity, that forgiveness of injuries, that sinking of a man's self and his own interests in the Church and the eternal interests of the Church, and therefore of all its members and the whole world, that once formed the character of CHRIST's disciples, the humble, earnest, reverential holiness of Christian men!

CHRIST'S COMING.

In patient faith, till CHRIST shall come,
To call his duteous servants home,
Our hearts and minds we keep ;
Still looking for that glorious day
When heaven and earth shall melt away,
And saints awake from sleep.

Then earth's rebellious tribes shall wail,
And sinful hearts with terror fail;
While saints, despised so long,

From east and west, and south and north,
By angel-trumpets summoned forth,
Raise one triumphant song.

Rev. J. Moultrie.

THE END.
