She believed it to be her dut y to be baptized, and to unite with the Church, These convictions at first wore live ly and impressive, but in deferring until to morrow, that duty that should bo attonded lo to-day, the Holy Spirit wasgreivod. At first the struggle Was very severo, bat by giving way to the adversary, the su.btle enemy pro- vailed. And, alas 1 hor feet stumbled upon the dark mountain, and while sh e looked for light ho turned it into tho shado w of death and made it gioss darkness, Wedded lo the vain and foolish pursuits of this fleeting world, the thoughts of death, nnd tho awful realities ofoterntty , wer e barnhcd from her mind.— A\bout two year3 after, she again camo to re side in the village of M .

He no longer insulted the majesty ol God by offering \strange fire,'' tho fi.imo upon the altar, though faint and flickering, was puro. and tended heavenward. Carefully did ho guard lhat trembling llama— assiduously did ho watch it, and constantly did ho fan it with tho breath of prayer. By degrees it rose higher, and burned moro vigor ously, and the light of it was from afar. He was plcasod with its brightness, and began lo foel lhat it might now sustain itself, and thai a little loss witching ond care would bo quite as well. So ho somntimes loft it for hours logethor—ind whilo ho was \busy hero and there,\ about his nccossary business, as ho considered it, tho flamo had well nigh expired. Ho rcturnod ono year to his neglected altar— and though tho darknoss of night was gather ing aruund, he could perce.vo but a faint and ; dying radiance. Alarmed, bo anxiously has- J tened to gather tho dying embers, IJ rekindle the flame, and supply anew tho aliment rood- j ful to sustain it. The remembranco of long , days of neglect flashed across his mind, and | as he sa w to what fearful danger ho had been exposed, ho trembled for himself. Tho alarm was saluiary, for a time be was watchful, and the flimo buined clear. I looked again towards the altar. The sun shine of prosperity shono brightly upon it, and upon him who guarded it, and beneath its' boams the sacred fiio grew dim.

And wheth er this condition ts compatible wiih hoarding up wealth, or with living either for onrselvea.or for the benefit ol our families alone, is a ques-. lion lhat is very easily solved in tho light of tho uncrting word, Indeed, I know nol hovi - men can appropna'o their powers to get rich,* whilo there aro so many just claims upon them! for tho oxcrciso of tho spirit of benevolence, And possess the spirit of Christ.
