To freedom true, the Jersey blue, th e Knickerbocker brave, And many a band from Maryland, came forth our land to save, From Maine’s green pines, Missouri’s mines, and from the land of Clay Kentucky sent, on victory bent, her sons to join the fray— The brave and free from Tennessee, and all the sunny South Sent men to fall a t their c o u n try’s call, ut the grim cannon’s mouth.

The following ertiole, giving eome meodoiei of the early life of Abraham Linnoln, ia taken from Snoceee: “ I meant to take good care of your book, Mr. Crawford, I did, indeed,\ •aid the boy, in great trepidation; •‘bnt I ’ve damaged it a good deal with- »nt intending to, and now I want to make it right with yon if I can.

Stearns. “ But Jesus answered them, My Fath- irketh hitherto and I work.” Be cause He had healed the Impotent man at Bethosda on the Kabbath day they cuted Him and sought to kill Him. Weston pays that their Sabbath day and soug h t to iton pays th a t the ir Sabbath da them their national banner, and 0 was not well for anyone who would dare break their laws concerning it. God's Sabbath's and leasts which He Instituted had be come the Jew s’ Sabbaths and feasts, and Instead of observing His laws concerning them they bad multiplied traditions of their own. thus making the commandment of God of none effect by their tradition (Math, xv., 3, 6). 18. “Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because Ho not only had broken th e Sabbath, but said also that God was His Father, m aking Himself equal with God.” On another occasion they were g oing to stone Him because, ns they s&ld, He, being n man, made Himself God (John x., 33). What spectacle Is this, the Creator hated by the creature, sticklers for tho Sabbath day seeking to kill the Lord of the Sabbath! Yet such Is religion that It not of God. 19. “ Then answered Jesus and said untc them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Hon can do nothing of Himself b ut wbat Hf seeth the Father do, for what things soevei Ho doeth these also doeth the Hon like wise.” Their unbelief and opposition did not and could not alter the facts in th< case, so without argument Ho quietly went on with His teaching. When one Is right, the onlv thing to do Is to keep right on saying and doing right, sure that they who war against us shall bo as nothing and us a thing of n aught (Isa. xli., 12). 20. “ F or tho Father lovoth the Hon and showeth Him all things that Himself doeth, and He will show Him greater works thac these that ye may m arvel.” In c h a p ter 111. 35, “ Tho F a ther loveth the Hon and hath given all things into His hands.'' In chan- tflfx., 30, “ I ant! My F ather are one.” In chapter xlv., 9. 10, “ He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; I am in the Father and the Father In Me.” In chapter xv., 9, wc read, “ As the F a ther h ath loved Me so have I loved you,” and in xvll., 23. that the Father loves us as He loves the Hon. We wonder at the m anifestation of God In Christ, but what shall we say when we read that It Is His pleasure that Christ should be manifest In us? (Gal. 11., 20; II Cor. iv., 21. “ F or ns the Father ralseth up tho dead and qslekeneth them, even so the Hon qulokeneth whom Ho will.” In the following verses this Is explained as refer ring not only to those who are dead In sin, living In ' 11., 1; I T whoso bodi< unto themselves (Epli. 6), but also to those dies are dead in the grave. In verses 28, 29, we read that all that are lu the graves shall hear His voice and shall come forth either unto life or dam n ation. 22. \For the Father judgeth no man, bill hath committed all judgm ent unto the Hon.” Ho hatli appointed a day In the which Ho will judge the world in right eousness by that man whom He hath or dained, whereof He hath given assurance unto all men in that He hath raised Him from the dead (Acts xvil., 31). One day Is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years ns one day (II Pet. ill., 8). At tho beginning of the day shall bo tbe judgm ent of the righteous, and of the living nations, and at tho end of tho day that of the unrighteous. 23. “That all men should honor the Son. sven as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Hon honoreth not the Father which hath sent Him.” Ho will be honored by all kings and all nations, and to Him every knee shall bow (Ps Ixxli., 11; Phil. 11.. 9, 10). A day is com ing In which every high thing shall be brought down, and the Lord alone exalted (Isa. 11., 11, 17). He Is the only Saviour of sinners (Acts iv., 12), tho only J u d g e ns wo saw In tho last verse, and Ho will be the only Ruler, for He must reign till He hath put oil things under His foot (I Cor. xv., 25). 24. “ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He ihat hearoth My word and believeth on Him th a t sent Me h ath everlasting life and flhnll not come Into condemnation, but Is passed from death unto life.” Here Is the way of life, described In chapter 1., 12, as receiving Him, In chaper ill., 16, ns believ ing on Him, and hero as hearing His word and believing on Him. This verso was blessed to my soul in the summer of 1873 with a blessing th a t has lasted ever since and will to all eternity. It was somewhat like this: Do you hear the word of God aud believe th a t Jesus died for you and rose again, and do you receive Him ns your Saviour? I do. Then you have everlast ing life. No. I cannot feel that I have. What ddes God say? He says that I have. Is Ills word sufficient? I would like to feel It. Will you take Him at Ills word or make Him a liar? (.John v., 10.) I will be lieve God. 25. “ Verily, hour Is oomln, shall hear the ■ind they that hear shall live.\ This hour has already lasted over 1800 years ant! Is Billion. The dead In trespasses and sins are hearing the word of God, and receiv ing It and life In it, or rather In Him who is the Word and the Life.

I membership and was regula r In my a t tendance upon ordinances and outwardly consistent, but until the time and tbe ex perience mentioned in the last verse I did not know th a t I had passed from death to 26. “ F or as the Father hath life In Him- Belf so hath He given to the Hon to have life in Himself.” He Is the Life. He that hath tho Hon of God hath life, and he that hath not the Hon of God hath not life (John xlv., 6; I John v., 12). We can neither earn nor in any way deserve this life, for It Is the gift of God (Rom. vl., 23). But whosoever will may receive the Bread of Life, the W ater of Life, the Life itself, and even Christ Himself, and in Him find and even Christ a life begun here, comsumumted and enjoyed resurrection at the J through all eter- empty and help- nt Bethseda; then :y.
