At the last meeting of our church
court we were told of a college started
at tho I-ar West by infidels. There
was to be in it no nonsense of chapel
proyers, and tho obsolete Bible was i
be found there. The faculty w
ldo nn oftlio enemies nflRinati.*:
made np ofthoenomies of Christianity.
The college building was reared and
work begnn. But such an institn-
could not prosper. A minister of
the Presbyterian church was in a bank
day on business, and he overheard
in adjoining room the college Board
of I rustecs discussing what they had
better do with their college, as they
could not make it go any longer. One
of them said: “Lotus hand it over to
the Presbyterians,” prefacing the
word “Presbyterians” with a profane
expletive. The motion was carried,
and that college, bnilt as a fortress ol
skepticism, has become a fortress of
old-fashioned, orthodox religion. The
devil built jt; righteousness captured
it. So there are in our cities very ex
pensive club-houses, the architecture
aud the furniture aud all the equipment
a hedazzlement of wealth, employed in
making gambling and dissipation re-
spectablo But fret not; those build
ings wfll yet be free libraries, or lios-
ObscrvataricB have been put up * v

said He would put a hook into the nose
of Sennacherib and turn him, and all
the modern Sennachcribs of infidelity
for the reason that He has let
to give ns time for happiness. What
would yon and I have been if God had
followed sin with immediate catas
trophis? What a mercy that God has,
according to the Canticles, the fleet
foot of the roebuck when He goes to
save. He moves as though hoppled by
great languor and infinite lethargies
when ho comes to punish. I celebrate
rod s adjournments, and God’s post
ponements, and God’s puttings off of
retribution. Tho slower the rail train
tho better, if tho drawbridge is off. Let
onr impatient criticism of Providence
becauso that man by watering stock

it, and these other meu run on
bloated arrogance all their days, fcoi
changed for gratitude everlasting that
God did let ns live when wo deserved

How long have you lived nnpardoned?
fifteen years? twenty years? forty
years? sixty years? You have lived
through great religious awakenings,
through domestic calamities, through
business disaster, through alarming
illness, through providences that star
tled nations, and living yet strangers
t* God and dnty, and with no hope for
a future into which any moment yon
may bo precipitated. Through Jesus
Christ get your nature revolutionized
and transfigured, for God sometimes
changes his gait, and instead of the
deliberate step lie becomes a swift wit
ness, and people in yonr state may be
suddenly destroyed, and without reme-

and Lave Him yonr eternal ally. When
KingT’hilip, of France, led his army

perspective of tho conservatory, loav-
