The Gospel according^©' pears that this Gospel was written after the f the past, the present, and the future, swept before him, and he recorded if as he was in spired in the book we call the Revelation, or the Apocalypse 1 . After he escaped from Pat inos, through (he accession of tho Roman em peror Nerva, he went to Ephesus r a leading city of great celebrity in Asia Minor, and'there it is pnlerstood he wrote this Gospel which bears his name. 1 need not repeat what I have sajd before, that the word “ Gospel” is composed of two Saxon' words, god—spel; spel meaning “ news” or “ tidings;” and means literally, “ the good tidings/* “ the good news, the Maker of the world came to his riWn house, and the tehant.that was in It _by his suffrance repelled him from it. Yott. have all read of the beautiful sentiment of Plato, who, with, Socrs- tea, his master, seems to have stood upon the loftiest pinnacle of earth, and to have caught some beams qf the approaching light: He said, “If perfect truth and holiness ,were to; Come down to our world, the whole world would be so charmed with bis beaqty, that it would fall down and worship him/' We have no longer Plato's,statement as a hypothesis, hot Plato’s conjecture differently fulfilled as a melancholy fact. . What he supposed has come to ; pass.— Troth came to ourworld; but alasf the hospi tality that the philosopher expected was denied to it; for” He came unto his own, and bis own received him not.”- “ But/’ it says,' “as many as received him/*—showing there wd3 an election according to grace,—“ as many as re ceived him, to tljem gave he power”—jurisdic- Are men growing Worst*.

In (it$ Commercial and Financial article of the indepen* dent of'last week, we find this extraordinary pas sage, though we do not attribute its sentiments td the Editors of that paper: “Among the revelations of the Weefe are some large forgeries, unfortunately no novelty either ifl Europe or America, but which seem fo* be increi^ sing even with our advancing civilization, as tnetii ured by the increase of knowledge..

It Is a record, not of the birth, but of the min istry of Jesoi». Hence, i,t begins first with a statement of what Christ was, what Christ had become, and at once he presents the Redeemer entering on his otflcial ministry and says noth ing about his birth, which bad been fully and minutely delineated by previous evangelists.— And you will be struck if you will tj»ke up a comparison of the Gospels written by any one who has paid attention to the subject,^•=—with the perfect harmony that subsists between each of the four evangelists, writing from different countries, viewing the Savior at different an« gles, and each stating the facts which came be- fore bis own personal and immediate inspec tion. Now, John says nothing about the birth of Christ, but he proceeds at'oncd to state the sum and the substance of the ministry of Jesus as preceded by John the Baptist, according to If you were to. tell a vine to grow up a.pole be fore train,It, it would hot do so. Yoo must train it, and help it onward on its way. And so It is with a child ; you must not only tell him to do this, but you must put him into tho way of doing it. You must not only say te the child, when there is a collection for the Bi ble Society, “ It is right to give something}”-— but wou must say to the child, “ Begin to give a halfpenny, and as you grow older and richer, increase it to a penny; and as you get older, and richer still, increase it to jt pound: and by teaching your children lo give, you do | more to make them liberal and- all mandkind blessed, than by all the cold lessons that you can shower^lown like snow flakes in the shape of cold and impressive advice. Then Chris tians are ** not of blood, nor of the will of, the flesh, nor of the .will of man.” "Now I need no other clause than this to put an end to what is called baptismal regeneration.
