Neither do I bellev* i h i t MUiXrari Baptists wi l l any more agree with;.Broi.!fcIlay, ;on this infurciice business, than Arkau^ns iBaptists do w i th Bro. Coleman.

Pau l n^xi leachos this church the design of tho suppci , verse twenty-s lx : "IiVir as oft as Joft eat of this bread and dr ink this- oup, ye do show the Lord ' s death till he come," and not to.nhow our ChrlNilnn •'ellowshlp, nor Chr i s t i an courtecy, nor as a peculiar privilege, extended to the citizens of C h i isi's kingdom, as Bro. Ray say^ in h is "re-spoiiiKe," but only to show the Lord's death til lthe coHie. 'fhe de<«tga is plain, but uq wore so than tho subjects, I Iu ssys in verso tweuty-niae thet whi le eating we should discern the XJord's body. N o w Pau l tells this church wliat he' m o a n s ' b y Lord 's body. He says in twelfth chapter, twenty-seventh verse : "Now ye are a boiiy of Christ.'' : N o w , Bro. Uay, when tho members of a church are, assembled around the saoramenlal board they can ji laii i ly discern tho Ijord's body, bat ff aBB&mbled w i th others thuy cannot, f o r then i t become^^pArts of ilitrereut bodies. I n the fifth chapter, nf thia^let* xer tie teaches tho Cor inthian cUurob how to make preparations, so that thoy may not defile the feast. T h o ai>ostlo had learned that there was fornfca-tlou among them, he informs tltem that thCfy could not eat tiio Iôrd'a supper In this condition.. l i e c a i U it leaven, and said it would l eaver tê whole lump, vitiate the design of Uiesupperi by rendering tho body of C h i i s t impure. ' l i e says to ihom, to vast outt i io leaven of ma l le i and^lcik«dm>«8, and keep the feast with the nnleaven fbroad ir of sincerity and trutli, and i u the eievonlh it^rse lie, says, " I f any man that is oallad a brf)tber, b e a fornioalor, or covetous, or an idolaitdr, d ' a ratlor, or a drunkard, or an extortioner^ wi th snoh'a oue no not lo eat."

F o r liistttuce, the church with which I am coHMccted, , « o l u d e s from hor rea«t ftll'dancers, theatre-goers, et<j., but you know that chun.boi . called sister, retain snnh, a« uienibors lii ffoiid standing. Thoy ar« in go' «l order at home, l)ul leaven in our church. Y o u ioo, this iiiron«i«lnncy comes of inter-comrnunion, and nut by Paul. Bro. Ray , I don't know wuat the conver-tallon was in tho house of Afjuil la, or at Icotilnin, but this f ilo know, that I'aul taught tho churches evorywUero the same that he d id at CorluHi. I don't knoyv whether Paul or tlie elders ot tho churolKss (for their seemed to be one or more in each'•hiiruli) ad-ministered the supper, but 1 <lo know, thai If Paul administered, tliHt he did not practiciMMrereutly from wtiat he taught, and I (lo know that hu laugbi thai when we come lo pirtake of tim supper, to let tho«e that are without, alune. Hero in this lener to the church at Corinth, is tbe full law of the sup-per, and no invitation in It. Loi n« leach t h i churches Just like Paul did, where he said invito, let us say it, but where tie is silent, let us kocp silent. T h e Instltuliou of the supper >« rerorded in the gospe', and merely inenlloned in « few other places, but nowhere contradicts or nbangos the simple law laid down here by Paul /Vt the itisti-tution of I lie s'ipper, Christ and his apostl'is were alone, in an upper room yf a friend. The aposUes at this time were his c l i i i ^ and kingdom ; hu in-stituted his supper and gaVe it apostle." only. To say tho least of it,thoi-e was no invitation given, not even to tbe friend wlio had lurnisbc I tUe ruoiii. But, Bro, l U y says, while hero be ilid authorize inter-communion, and gives thin us the one pasnago that I asked for. Well, lot us examine !•, for onn plain t;assage wi l l do. Here it is in L u k e xx l i . 29-;iO: " A n d I appoint unto you a kingdom as my Father hath appointed unto me, "hat ye may cat and dr ink at my ta>'le in my kingdom, and sit on thrones Judging the twelve tribes of Israel ." T h i s passage certainly does not prove inter com-muniou, for we know that it has not yet Ikhju tul-fllled. T h e apostles have not y e , "sot on tbroues J u d g h ^ the twelve tribes of I s r a e l ; " but C h r i s t says this wi l l take place slmultaueonslv with the eating and dr ink ing at his table. Bro Uay may say that the sit l ing on thrones, etc., is l lgurutlve and must bo sulrltualized. Wel l , then, the eating and d r i n k i n g must bo construed the same way. E i ther Interpret the whole paasago literal or tlgnr-ative. Kithor way wi l l destroy it as a proof-text for kingdom or denomluatioual communion. This text, I think, wiU be literally lullllled, as ' many w'ill come from the oast and west aud shall s i i down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, in tho IciDgdom of heaven," (Matt. vl l l . I I , ) tnen the apostles wi l l sit on thrones, etc. T h i s text wi l l not prove inter communion worth a cont. Bro, Uay, you must come again, and try at least to stay In the present dispensation. But admit that it means his visible kingdom hero, then what does it prove? O n l y this, that he appointed it unto them — that church composed of the apostles—to eat and

dr ink iu, for that church was his kingdom, aud when that church was assembled, his whole king-dom was together; for his kingdom was coiHposed

of the sum total ol hi»churohes, and this was tho only ouo in exlstonce. So, no proof for inter.coin-muHlon.

1. The colored |>0(,nlation is inoroaHlng rapidly : more than the whi i t . I'hi! causes are mainly two to-wit: Immigrutioi i from tboon buili sinoo 1880, and nearly all <-/ommon labor, sucb as section and conslnu;iiou work is done by Negro laborers; i.hose htborors have become citizeiiH.

Tbu i i 'R ie alKiui one ami one-eigblli Negro binbh to ono white birih. The Negroes marry mni-ethan tbe viliites. However, one thliiK must .bo consid-eretl <!arel'nKy stboiii iIiIh <juestion. The laboring white people of I ds county go West more thau tbe colored people. Yon seldom hear of a colored family so ing to Texas or Arkansas from Tipton ronnty, whi le large numliers of the whites move aunuiilly, i t is evident to my mind that tho river counties in West Tennessee wi l l rapidly increase in c«)h>i'cd po[)nlation, (Obion, Dyer, and Tipton counties, all on tbe Mississippi rai lroad) lhat is, tbe col ired increase wil l be greater than the white in-crease, The rich boitoai lauds can better be worked by Negro labor, and tho whites seem to t>e luoro subjected lo malarial diseases than the Ne-

IlopSng that this may bo of aonie service, .1. L . .fAOOllS,,

Both Houses of tlu' C o i n ocation of I he Provinrc of Canterbury met on the iweniy-eight of Apr i l . The President of ihenj .pcr llouê (that of Bishops,) said that owii g to c ircunis lancts over which the University had no «)ntr..|. i Ir . rovisetl version of the Bible would noi be ivady till the nineteenth of M a y ; that at 12:I.> on lUm day, Paternoster row would be fillet! from end to end with waggons con-taining copies of the revise«l vei-sion to lie taken to the various rai lway stations, and thence distr ib-uted all over tho kingdom. The revised version should be presented to Convocation, because it originated with them, anil it was tho greatest work which Convocation had over done. He pro-liosed that the presentation should take place at a meeting of Convocation to bo held at 2 :.•» on the Thursday following, i. c , on Apr i l 30ih.

Both houBcs of Convocation met scconl ingly on the thirtieth of Apr i l , and sat together in one as-sembly dur ing the presentation,of two copies of the revised Old Testament, ono to the archbishop of Canterbury , as Presl.lont of the Up jwr House, the other to the prolocutor, as Pi-esldeut of the L o w e r House,

T h e Archbishop after taking his chair , said that this was a great occasion in the annals of tho E n -gtlsh church. They had met to receive Ihe trans-lation brought to the utmost perfection to wh ich our acholars could bring I t . It was tho greatest work which God had given them to do. and it would be of the greatest practical service lo the church.

A N S W E U We think your pa»tor did ex»cUy

ri)(lii <>1 nut partaking of the sut){>er in a church of

wiiich he ia nut a member. We plac« it oa pre-

clMiiy the »amc gruttud witli the other and aiiiter

l>rivil«ge,—voting. Uo can very properly, by the

oicction of tlie church, preaido an the moderator of

your confcreucea; but he could uot ScripturaJiy or

ooiiMiHtcntly vote in ouo of a tie, because he in not

a mouibt r, and therefore uot cotitle«l to thia privi-

lejic. I f he or any other Baptiatcould oonsiatently

eat the ]>ord'8 i-upper, the higbeat coiicolvable

church pnviiegc, he could as conti^tenlly vote in

your busineas iiioctiuga. The greater certainly in-

eludes tho leaser privilege, as the whole doea all its

constituent parta.

Dr. Iliacox, author of the Baptiat Church Direc-

tory, uuiversally acknowledged a atandard writer

among lUptista, aays in a letter to us: "No per-

son uot a menilwr haa any right to any privilege

in a church. The supper i« tho higheat privilege

of a»soci8tc<l piety, and he who has a right to that

cannot consiBtently be denietl any other." (See

Intcr(x>muuiuion, p. 306.)

I f your pastor has uo right to eat with you, not

being a racmlKsr, i l ia because Christ haa withheld

the right. What Chnst has withheld no church

on earih can give, or make it right to be done. He

hat* withheld trom your pastor the right to sprinkle

hi« children, and uo church can give him, or any

one else, the right t« do it, or make it right for any

one to do it through kindness or courtesy; and

t!iis is the real issue now on the inter communion

qucHtion, as It is on inraut baptism.

All standard Potlobapiiats admit that Christ has

not auihorized iufaot baptism by either precept or

example, any moi-e than he has sprinkling for im-

mersion ; but yet they claim the church haa the

right to authorize both innovations,— trîU->ns,—

niaking void, ai they do, the commandments of

Guil. So all the principal advocates of inter-

communion frankly admit tbat there is neither un-

doubted preccpt for nor example of deDominational

or inter-communion of churches; that n« member

of One church has a right to commune with or in

another; that it is not the dut> of a church to in-

vito one not a member, nor the duty of om qot a

member, to commune in any church, eicept hia

own. And yet, strange to say, tbe advocatâ of

this tradition will say that the chureh may invite

such, and can confer the righi, or make it right

and well-pleasing to God for the aacred sapper to

be «:arri(>d out of the church <»!ebntt*Jig it* When

we yield this principle we yield «l{| J ^me praetiOM,

— tho right to make and to cbangik lawa and Ordi-

nances.

.lust the difTerence botwi«n restoring to activity

otiu apparuntly dead but not really dead and re-

storing life to one really dead. Tho former man

can quite easily do, and has olten done, and in-

volves no miracle: the latter God aloDO can do,

and. when dono, ia a miracle. We will give Web-

Btor's definition: — , ,. ^

The only queatlou l i , were tlioso persou* rmUn

dead,"VIM aufmai life extlaot In thejn,"^wUo

were said to havu been ralse«' up? ''^lf to, Ihey

were real resurrectious from the dead aud uo'i rc-

auaoitatioua.

The first case in the Old Testaiueut is that re-

corded in 2 Kings xUi. 21: ''And It caiao to pass

as they were burying a man that behold ihey spied

abaudo fmoa ; and they cast the man iuto^the

sepulchre of Elisha. And when tho man waa let

down, and touulicd tho bones of Elisha, ho revived

aud stoo<4 up on his (est.'* I f the man was uot

dead there was no mtiacle in the case, and why

waa it recorded? The .lows were not W3nt to

bury persons until thoy wore fully Bati«fled they

were really dead. We never before hoard the

death of this man tiucDtioucd.

iiut CliriNt himst-if di dared that the dead tvcre

raUed up bofuru his uwti resurrection; and ho is

better authority with ns than many preachers:

"Tho blind recL-ive tholr sIkIu and the lanto walk,

the lo|M;rb are cleansed and the dcarhear, tho dead

are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached

to them." (Mat tx i . fi ) Tlio resurrection of the

dittd by hiiti, nut the apparuntly but tho really

dead, is hero given as a proof of his divinity. The

resuscitation of a thoiif>aiul iHsrsons would tie no

proof of ii.

The iiioplrcd record tells us that the son ot tho

widow of Nain was really dead and rulsed up front

the dead: "And he that was dead Mat up, and be-

gan to »pcak. And lio dolivercd him to bis

mother." (Luko vii. l."».) If that son bad only

swooned, and wan not duuil, why docs Luke tell us

be was a dead man 'i ll ho w&ii not dead the record

ts not reliable. Ho again says ho that was dead

sat up. If lhi<< WHS only a case of resuscitati.uH

why should tear coiiio upon all Wo had a son re-

suscitated by our fatMily physician, but no fear but

great joy came upon all the family. It was tto

miracle nor worth rccunlitig.

Thoi-o who deny any caso "f a real rcMurrection

from the dead prior to Christ's havo Ihe hardi-

hood, in the faoc of (iltMl's word, to assert that

Lazarus was only resiusciluted aiiit not rMwrrcfjie*/,

if the term Is peruiltteil. VV ill tho reader stop and

read the nar.ative, .Fuhn xi. 1--I7? Jesus told his

disciples plainly that Lazarus was dead. What-

ever man may say Lazarus was dead, and docoi|i|)o-

sition had commenced, accordiug to the stateitient

of Martha. lie would not have been more really

dead had he lain in that grave a thousand ytars.

Was be raised from tho dead ? " There they Kiade

'bira a supper; and Martha served. But I^/arus

was one of them that sat at Ihe table with him."

(John xii. 2.) Tbat Lazarus was dead, and :waA

raised up Iroiu tho dead, the Jews, the bitterest

enemies of Christ, who witmssed both events,

never presumed to deny. It was reserved for, the

professed friends and disciples and miniatetis of

Cbriat in this age to deny this notable miracle, and

assert that he was only resuscitated.Vhi'^h act in-

volves no miracle.

Christ was the fir«t one raised from tho dead to

die no more, and tluerefore was the firat fruijs of

them who sleep in Jostts, who, when raised,jwill

die no more. ;

Lang Brace will care every that flesh is heir to; but it will re-lieve, where it does mt (UUy cure, ail that great army of ills and achea that sooB break down tiie best coasti tutlons, which are caused by pro-Itgmu of the mtueUs whkh auppari the i t t U r m l orgam. This is the only mechanical eootrivanoe ever dia-covered that apiifla the abdooMii' rather than compresses it, as all troeaeado.

This is what it docs, as thousands who have used it a n j^pored te teatify: It suppofts the back, abdo-men, stomach, fangs and womb. I t , therefore, prevents lassltitde, hoafae-neas, piles, hernia, coosumptlon, and that terrible diaeaiie,—dyapepd*.

It iacreasea the breathinscajj^ty, and thereby gives stro^th to the body.

The Brace i received from you I find is of great benefit to me. ] waa afraid it was not what it waa rec«>m-* maided to be; but I waa induced by my phyaician to get one. Shortly

ward, the church that I was a member of called me to serve them

:or; and I accepted on the con-tltot they ahouid get me u

Brace. I was entirely broken down from over speaking. 1 could not

lak longer than fifteen mlnutee un-«u I became very hoarse; but, with the Brace on, I can speak with per-fect ease one hour: and, after speak-ing, I do not feel that unnleasantnesB at my rtonweh that I did before iiBing the Brace. I can say that the Brace is all that ia claimed for ft; and I would adrise all sneakers who feel fatigue and lassitude after speaking by all means to get them a Brace, before they have to stop speaking, as I had to do. I wotdd not be without it for any consideration.

Jt if! far !n A D V A N C E of the older worka.

It is CBITIOAL, PRACTICAL and EXPLANATORY .

It Is COMPENDIOUS nnd COMPREHENSIVE in Us charact.

it has a CRITICAL 1NTR(.)DUCT10N Ui each twok of SCRIPTUKE.and ia by IÂB the moat P I t A i m C A L , SUGGESTIVE, SCIENTIFIC and rarULAB work of the kind in the Eni^lish languaice.

We prewnt (hia work tt> our Christian readera with the conviction that it will bo welcomed aa a moat valuable addltlou to tho Biblical literature of the day, and will tie found to poascBa advantnges over any other eimilar work in the followlog important itarticularti: —

1. ItB thoroughnei». Thia Conanaentary ia not written by one writer only, aa is the caae with Clark. Henry, Scutt and othera, but by three of the Bblt«t scholara of the pr«wnt day, thus enablint; each author to ilevote all hiHHkill, time and energy to a limited portion of the Bible instead of the wbola and ttieao have quoted extensivoly from the works Of no leas than one hundred and fifty of the most eminent Biblical writers of the present and past.

2 Its modernneeo. New it j^t is continaaily bt;ing thrown upon the Scriptur<M by the r«-

ttcercliea of traveJera who iiave visited every refciou on which the light of revelation oriKlnaliy shone, by invtt«tigMii(m in Hcien'>e, the expository labors of scholara and critics, and the discovery an'i deciphering of ancient inncripflnns, monumenta and inanuacripts, tnua rendering the commen-taries of former days comparitlveiy useless.

8. Ita compactoeaa. The text and the oommenta are not printed In separate parts, as is

awally the case, bat are intermingled ao as to form one continuous history. There arf no blank tions of the text " it «8 llserally packed

ti, i)Uf are miermingieu ao as lo lorm one cuniinuous nisiory. lank spaces, nor i.s the tM>ok filled up with unnecessnry por-t. I t la what it pur|M>rts to be, a Commentary, not a Bible, packed," eays Bmhop Wiley, " full of good things."

4. Its brevity. There is DO Commentary that will help tlie render to arrive Ht tlie full

and in ho short a time. Dr. Kitcbel needs explanation." Dr. Smith, have in several instances seen a

Mermon in a acntence."

5, Ita liberal spirit. U is mora unBectarian thaa any other Commentary. " T h e names of

the aathofa ajre a sufficient guaranty ugainît any denominational traita in it." These anthora are eaeh of a different denamlnation. The heartv recommendatiQn pf the leading men of all denominations Rives this stifl greater e m p h a ^

ft. Its Scripture references. ThftM BT^ more numerous than will be found in any commmentary ex^

taut. Parallel passages are given wherever they are needcKl. Scripture is thus expUintadtjy Scripture; and the Commentary wiU thus be found to answer the{>urpaae of a concordanee to a very great extent.

7. Its illustratiuns and maps. These are auff idV^y niunerous to decidedly enhance ita value «nd at-

tractiveness; the fl^wt nuOorlty of commentariea have no lUuatnttons.

8. Itschi No com

•he&oeM. nuikory t of its size and merit wa* ever sold for anything like

the price. Tkere k a s much reading matter in this Commentary as yon will find in three Tfdamea of Lange's. The price of this, in cloth, with copious lliustratioiui and niape, is only 18 00, while the same amount of ruading matter in I juDga ' iC^mcntary , not illustrated, is sold at t I 6 00.

: I' The unqualified cdmmeodations of this Commentary from the highest

sources, t(*gethor With Its alreadv extensive and rapidly Increasing aale, have given It a position ID the religious world superior to that of any alml-Inr work, a n d j m v s ooncloslvely toat it will aoon be anivennlly MOpteil by Sabbath nBl(d teachers and Bible readers generally, to whom Its use iias now beo(ildttfciain>eQHlhle.

Two points I wisii to ;«in»ider to-night. These are :—

Such aro great tiiiiikurx, ax (iaiilio, and Itogei-Uacon ant' Nowion ; and groat reformer?, as Ilnss, and Savonarola and Uogor WillianiM. Hut the mass uf men aro otiUdr II of iluir tiiuo. Within tlie comparatircly narrow oirchi of each one's ao<iMalntafice, the power of a'H miation on charactar itt most clearly seen. Wiieilu r roaii/.e it or not wo aro alFectod constantly and greatly by those who aro our clioBon c iiiiptnions.. Wc cannot es-cape tills Intluencp. We may dotcnnino what our asHOciatlon Hhali bo. Wo may docido wlietlier they shall bo g.iod or bad, and whetlier thu lullu-onco wo receive «hall l»e helpful or harmfut. Hut we cannot wlolly avoid the inllnonco o( other lives on our own. "Bo tiot doc ived," aays the apostle. "Kvll cotnpaiiionships corrupt good morals."

Thiii is bnt onu side o( tho truth, but it suggesU tho other Hiile. If evil ansooiates corrupt us, so do good associates uurify and olovato us. Tho tiling of prime Importance is this: that whatuver our associates may lie, tluy will hive an itill.ience upon our ctiaraclors. Ignorance of this, or neglect of ihiH, is Htiro to bo followed by harm. Djiiot think that y<m ran company with coarfo men and not gro V coarse yourself. Do not think that you C.IU associate habitually with tho impure and preserve your purity, liivaior said; "He whb comes from Ihe kitchen smells of its smoke; ho, who adheres to a sect has Homotliing of its cant; tho college-air piirnuos the kIu Io:ii, and dry inhu-i manlty him who herds with literary pedanie."i There is a proverb In tho Latin which expresses the same truth : "If you al ways live with those, who aro lamo, you will yourself learn to limp." ^

VouHg people aro prone to make fatal mistakes 111 the associates whom tlioy cho no, and thofilend-ships which they form. They <lo not coldly choo-so to do evil. They would shrink wii.h horror from becoiniug vulgar or profane or licentlou'. They wouhl recoil from tho thought of committing a deed of dishonesty or vice; and yot ihoughllessly they allow themselves to enter into fellowship with those whose Influonco Is ovil, and in a llitlu time their line sensp cf honor Is bhuitc<l, their purity Is tainted, their good Impulsos aro overborne and in a few yeart they becortie capable of unaii-ticlpitod wickedness. Tliore aro many youugineii In this city to-night who not long ago came hero c'ornparitlTCly pure, and with instincts of trutliful-ness and uprlghtnoBs, and now they are traoa-formed In temper and habits that their own mothers would scarcely recognize them.

tiown Into ail earthly iierdltion, and the explana-tion of It all In the words: "They Iwgau runulnic wlihbad company." 80, to ), there are nianv young worn -n in Olevelanii to-ulght whoso steps take hoi I on the pit, and whoso pfematuroly faded cheeks liear the brand ofvlonand shame, who uot long ago were pure and gehtla*heart«d. But they carelessly joined hands with those whoso touch was oontaiilon, under the influouoe of such associa-tes they have gone down the steep road to nilu. God pity the many victims of sin In thU city! 'My heart aches as I think of the many homes deno-latotl, the hopes blasted, tho hearts broken by tho influemie of evil eompanionsliip. Kow who aro now ruined would have gone *o rulu alone, liut sinners strengtbeu each other to do evil. The ties of acquaintUBcesWp, the lunuenco of oompanlous, the words and example of awoclatos, have drawn Uie simple out of thj paths of purity, and draggetl them down to death,

llemeinber, that however fl*«d you may bo in your resolutû to bo honesty aad right, If you as-sociate with thoae who are batl, the bad are In (the majority, and thoy, will at last make you llko them-selves. A story is told of twj parrots whi.ih livod near to each other. The one wai accustomed to sing hyiniis, while the other had been taught to Hwear. Tho owner of the swearing parrot ob-tained permission for it to associate with the other In the hope that Its bad habiU would be corrected; but tho result was tbat In a little time both birds swore. The force ol evil is mighty, aud it propa-gates lUeif. It U like a contagious disease which health must avoid It it would remalu health.

But as ovil asiociates ara powerful for evil, so also good asaoclatos aro powerful for good. Many a boy unhappily born amid vicious surroundings has been redeemed from vice by being placctl among tlta pure. Under the constant Influence of gentleness and truthfulnow aud Intogrlly his char-acter has beon ro|-n)«d to a llko quality, and life has been crowned with btesilng.

EvonmenofoonflrmedêTll hfcblts havo been powerfully affected, and sometimes saved by tho example of the good. It is aald 'hat when Lord Peterborough lodged for a time with tho holy Fenejon, hojwaa •> afTeeted byJKeuo'o t'a piety i-nd virtue thitt he exclaimed Bt ptriing: **If I stay hero any longer, l Vh»U hooime a Uhi-astlaii in spite of myaolf." SaaJI, the groU Persian poet, thus beautlflully represonta tbe influence of goodness: "One dky AS I wai JIu tho bath,", ho laya, 'a friend put in my baud a piece of acoated clay. I took It, ancl aaid to it ;V»Art thou musk or amborgrls, for I aui charmed with thy porfhioe?' It anawo od, 'I WM a,despicable pjieoe of clay; bat I waaaometlmi^ in the company of tha roie> *nd tho quality of my sweet oompaaloOi^VM commuiiloated to mo:other-wlie I ahould only be a bit of day aa I appear to be.'"; He wbo makas bla oompaBlonahipa among tho good and thotruo will at liiatbaoime llko thoni, for ^yary ii<^bl« ^pulae and aapiratlon will bo awakenod in hia heart, and bo will find tbo aamo aourcoaofijpapralatraQglbM tboy fiîil. ^
