ut, when after repeated displays of the power of od, and repeated convictions favorable to com- liance with the Diviae will, Pharaoh still hesi- ed, bis sin became thereby peeutiarly aggra- tod.Agrippa, long before he heard Paul preach, ight have found epporiunities of hearing the pel, and of judging fairly ae to its truth and importance ; but after listening to Paul and feel- ag constrained to Jield his mind to the (orce of] vidence, thea to faiter and to waver and to re- rain from à decision te which his coavictions ere prempting him, thet was à etnto of einful- ee of yet deeper dye.2nd.Indecision ie & stale soul peculiar] nAappy.\u2014 Nettber falos pouce nor tree oo either false pence, like à sisgnant muddy pool nor true pence, like a flowing stream foc °C the heavens; but a state of soul like \u201ca oubled eos,\u201d for, se James has expressed it, ke that waversth is like the waves of the wea, > with the wind and tossed.\u201d 10 1s a state of seul peculiarly precarious.le so especially in two respecis: Fire, it ads to create ia the undecided mind a projudios ISANSS bappy feelings connected with indecision go with it, and joy and peace come in the train of faith in Christ and devoiedness to God.Farther, indecision is peculiarly precarious be- csuse it is not likely to be long borne with by Divine forbearance.In support of thie statement, passages of great weight and solemnity might be quoled from the sacred record ; but we only add that these remarks are offered with the hope and prayer that some mind not yet decided for God may take them into association with reflections upon the year now drawiug so near to ite close, Reader, if you are spared to enter on another year, whether you do so with dark forebodings or bright anticipations, of this you may feel cortain, it will in many respects be different from any past year of your pilgrimage.O, how blessed if, whilst a voice from without says, \u201c ye have not passed this way heretofore,\u201d a voice from within reply\u2014the voice of a be- lieviog, decided soul\u2014Lord thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.\u201d [For the *- Montreal Witness.\u2019 THE BIBLE SOCIETY.The claims of the Bible, the Book of Books, are unquestionably entitled to full aad prompt attention, They are in truth superior, infinitely superior, to all merely human requisitions.\u2014 Though the holy volume was written by the baad of man, it emanated from the heart of God ; the holy amenuensis gave not utterance to earthly thought, but \u201cspake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.\u201d The truths thus taught would never have been known had there been so inspired revelation.By this agency the strait gaie of moral purity is opened, and reconciied hamasity conducted along the oarrow way of holiness to s happy eternity.Happy indeed are those who Bad there the path of immortality.Now, the light thus imparted was not designed to be hidden in the hearts of its recipients, but to be universally diffused.It was intended to be \u201cthe light of the world.\u201d He who gave the blessed boon said, Let your light shine.Henoe the reflection of the truth ie incumbent om all who enjoy its radiance.Such is the grand design of the Bible Society.By earnest, united, persevering exertion (bia noble institution hase translated the Holy Scriptures into one hundred and fifly languages.The issues reported for 1855 were two and a half millions; the total amount issued, fifty millions of copies.Great, however, as these results are considered, in reference to the means supplied, they are small in relation to what remsine to be effected.More thas six hundred millions of the earth\u2019s inbabitante are still jovolved in moral darkness But ought Christians to be discouraged by the vastness of the work 1 Surely, they believe that ¢ the earth shall be full of the kaow- ledge of the Loan!\u201d Then let them not forget that by the terms of the gospel charter they are constituted the distributors as well as (he depost- tariss of saving truth, He who decreed the end, sleo ordained the means.To Zion it is said, 4 Arise, shine.\u201d Ta this ers of enterprise when, in the premo.tion of science and art, \u2018many run to and fro, and knowledge ie increased,\u201d ought religious people to fall behind the spirit of the age 1 sgo the command wes given to \u2018teach ail nations,\u201d but we are far short of its accomplishment.When panoramas, circuscs, worldly shows of say kind, command the weekly attendance of throngs, and numerous fees for admission, shall the yearly appeals of the Bible Society be met by à ecanty audience, and its agents denied even 8 mite ?Among all the agencies of benevolence, there are none that sccomplish a greater amouat of geod with 60 small an amount of means.For tenpence the Bible can be furnished tv à hoathen ; for the small sum of $1 per pear, any person may be à member of à Branch Society, Rad also sopplr nix devtitute indjviduate with the Word of Gud.\u2018In some parts of Canada, according to the published reports, Branch Societiss are ec tively engaged in circulating the Sacred Volume.In other localities there is much laterent in the matter, and all that is wanted is organization and energetic leaders ; bat it ie a melanchely thet share are many places totally isaciive.Notbldg in holy revelation is mare swongly \u201d the benevolent ss a means of provoking ose snother, by a sort of holy jesiousy, to love and good works.Nothing is more common thar to Judge of the character and prosperity of a piace by the contrast presented is such reports ; and hence the pleasure of doiag good is enhanced by the reflex benefits resultiog to the donors themselves.But there sre higher and holier motives.\u2014 What ought not we be willing to do for Him who, \u201c though he was rich, for our sakes hecame poor, that we, through his poverty, might be made rich,\u201d When the work required is measured by the amount of means placed st the disposal of God's people, it may not be denied that the sum of benevolence is vastly below that of our responsibilities.Let us, therefore, endeavar to realize the share required of us considered as a Province, a County, or a Township.Let esch individually inquire\u2014Have I done eil [can by my prayers, my contribetions, my influence over others, to supply the Bible of life to tbose in peril of being destroyed for lack of knowledge.Sacerpos.THE EVENING OF A COMMUNION SABBATH.This solemn day is gone.Its sacred pleasures, its holy privileges are past, aud the shades of evening are gathering round.It has been à delightful day.1 was this day in the house of God.I had my seat with the friends of Jesus at his table.I handled the emblems of bis broken body and shed blood.What a blessing to the child of God is a communion Sabbath! While pressing his way heaveaward, through difficulties, tals, and temptations, how swe-t it is to sit down and refresh one\u2019s seit by the way! Surely, if there is anything refreshing to the Christian, it is 8 communion esaseu.Theo and there he fiade joy asd posce that the world knows nothing of ; his mind wanders back to that sad night in which this ordinance wes iosti- tuted ; he sees Christ, with his twelve disciples, : assembled in an upper room ; be hears Lim say, \u201cDo this in remembrance of me,\u201d (sad what heart that leves Jesus could refuse to obey ;) be sees him pass from that place to the garden of Gethsemane ; he sees there his agony and bloody aweat ; then he sees him forssken by ail his friends, and surrounded and maltreated by bis foes ; he sees him on that mount, ecapeaded between heaven and earth ; he hears him cry \u2014 « 1t in finished,\u201d and the language of his heart is, *T'was you, my sins.my creel sins, His chisl 10rmenion were.\u201d He sees bim laid in the 1omb\u2014but the Christian, in that interesting service, dose not louk upon Christ's suffering and death ; he soos him rue from the lomb oa the third day, meet with his disciples, bless them, and ascend up 1ato heaves ; and he remembers that he is there now, interceding for all thoss who put their trust «un bim ; sad surely Christ loves to look down (rem heaven upon bis humble folinwers assembled at his table to commemorate his death and suffering.Did be net lovk down this day 1 Auk that humble child of God who felt his gracious presence, see what the snawer will be.\u201c Yes, he will say, \u2018\u2018 Joeus was at his own able to-day.\u201d The communion Sabbath has always been a solemn day to me, but 1 have thought this day peculiarly oo, A communion on earth is pleasant lo the Christian ; but how much more pleasant would it be to sit down at the marriage supper of the Lumb on high! Those persone amembled al the table of the Locd thie day, will, in all probability, mever all ot down at the same table on sarih again ; but there is à place far beyond the scones of earth, a blessed and heavenly country, where Christians shall mest never Lo part agaia, and there le \u201c Ne siokness there\u2014 Ne weary wasting of the frame away ; No fe shri king (ram (he midnight ait ; Ko dread of summer's bright and forvid tay Ne hidden grief ie these.\u201d = Bishop Beverage beautifully observes that though all sins believers are written in the book of God's remembrance ta the blackost cha- racers, vot they are al) crossed out with the red lines of the Savieus'a biced, asd theralere have no force againet them.- VOL.XI.| MONTREAL.1856.Lo __ RS = = \u2014 me > _ D EE SES \u2014\u2014 againet religion.Iadecision of soul is à very un- |condemned than ostentations display ; the idea CHRISTIAN TREASUAY- \u2018The Mis lany happy state ; and having à reference to religion, subscribing to a benevolent eee iking with 8] uy, God God, why hast Goa + ee OS Mate ; 2 \u2018 A 4 to | ! y God, my God, why forssken me TIMER IS | aad ing intimately zmsociated ith thoughts view to notice in an annual repert, is highly cen.Paalm x3il.1.\u2018 about religion, undecided persons ofien allow!surable.But is there oot ano ite evil 1 Lait ; correwe Time is fying, time Bying\u2014 themselves to Imagine that religion involves much rigtt to hide the smallness of contributions in Sparro Dantnem.\u2014Of sli the oor glo like billows eS ehing, unhappy feeling for this life, whereas it is inde.a geoeral collection !

By enabling them to \u201c stay upos God,\u201d they are carried calmly through life, His Kingdom within them, and Himself for thei portion for ever.The secret of all that, is simple faith in the Saviour, ln Him such soule meet and commune with the Father ef our spirit, Ie Him they End the grace which is ail.sufficient, end the joy which 80 man takes from them.The Sus of Rl vieossness habitually shines upos them, and they walk like the children of light te their heavenly home, rejoicing in Christ Jesus, and having no confidence ia waif.And, while ash favoured ones remember that they have i which they have not received, how caratui they be to live to the glory of Him who has dese such great things (or them!
