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 expense by monomaniacs of atbo- an'l. the first yon know, they are .-..possession of Christian science. God 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 ikes a mil lion by one swoop and keep 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 nothing bnt capsizes and demolition. 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- d Y- , op your war against God and Lave Him yonr eternal ally. When KingT’hilip, of France, led his army with bows and arrows to fight Kimr Edward III of England, at the moat came into the room, bis handsome face looking a little troubled, yet cheerful withal. Mrs. Wyllis, with an arch nod at her niece,disappeared into the perfumed perspective of tho conservatory, loav- critical time in tho battle a shower of ram so dissolved the bow strings that theyweroof no effect, and Philip’ army was worsted.
