at. Uie fulls of the Mrusos, which is the head
of stcum bout nuvigntiop. The lertilitv of the

therefore obtained circulation that he will send
in‘his resignation.in th.c aututnn, and that Mr.
Van Huron will reign in his stead. 1 will not

Spiritual ehjova'ieht,—Iu* our pursuit of
the things of this'world, -we usuallj'-prevent
enjoyment by expectation; ‘we anticipate Qnr
own. liappitiess, and eat out the heart and
sWcotuess qf worldly. pleasures by delightful
forefliouglits qf them, so tliat, when we come ;
to possess tliem, they do not'answer, the ex
pectation nor satisfy the desires which were
raised aboiit thorn, and thoy.-vanish into’no-
thing. jut the things which are above orb"
so great, so solid, so durable, so glorious, that
wo cannot raise- our thoughts to fin eqiinl
height with them.; we cannot enlarge our de
sires beyond a possibility of satisfaction. Qnr
hearts ore greater titan the world ; but God is
greater titan our hearts ; and' the happiness
wldiih lie hath laid up for us, is, like Ilimsolf,
incomprehensibly great and glorious. Let
the thoughts of this raise us above the world,
and inspire us with greater tiioughtB anil tie-
signs than tho cure and. concernments of tliis
presentlifo.—Tiltotson.
The Spirit or Reuuioh.—It is a.great-
disgraco to religion, to imagine it an enemy
to. mirth and cheerfulness, and a severe exac
tor of pensive looks and solemn faces. Tlie
[rue spirit of religion cheers'' ns well- as com
poses tho sotll. It. is. not the business of virtue
to extirpate lift affections of the mind, but.to
regulate tliem.—Qaarter/y RerJ^tp, - -
Afflictioh:—Would wd see Christianity
iri all its power and precioiisncss, wo must
.turn frow the scenes of health, and enterprise,
and gaiety, and ambition,’ and in the abodes
of poverty, or in tlio chamber of sickness and.
of death, behold if, cqmforiing thd.frtcud.-:
less, sustaining the languid, and healiqg the
broken aud the bleeding heart. To thamis-
erablo’victim of his own transgressions, ..ru
ined, in-constitution and in fortune, briiught
down to pain, to 'darkness, atjd the precincts
of tho grave, wtS have seen Religion approach
with aqgelic aspect and mien; and exclaim,
“Son; bo of good cheer--thy sins are.forgiven
thee.” While the world could afford no help,
and liumau sympathy was unavailing, we
have sqen religion draw a stream from tlie
rock in tho deSert, cover with verdure and with
roses the rugged descent to tho grave, and
choer-the eyes of tlte most miserable, oven in
death, witlt tlio light of immortality.
Evidences of Growth in Grace.—That cktis
tian is growing iu grace, who finds himsolf
becoming more dead to the world.—-Moro-
alive to tho importance of his salvation, and
more sensible of the difficulties with which it
is attended.—More humble under.a sense of
his weakness, ant) more dependent on Christ.
More victorious over depraved propensitiss.—
More self denied.—More lively iri-his relish
for religious duties, and more spiritual in their
observance.—Increasing 'tenderness .of con
science, and watchfulness against- sin.—A
lively concern for the prosperity of Christ’s
church.—Meekness untlor injuries, and a spir
it of forgtycuesd.—Receiving with calmness
aud love tho reproofs of good men .A grate
ful spirit for even common and mean mercies.
Resigned ness to tne will of God uudor iritis.
A habitual sense of the presence of God, and
a desire ft act for his glory.
