Judas Iscariot.
Tho question is often asked, was
Judas a Uhristiuuf On this subject
those is a difference of opinion
Whilst son.e me inclined to balieve
tbat lie was a gCod man up to that
f.ital hour, when by the instigation
of Hatan, he was led to commit an
act which has rendered his name
and his memory odious through all
subsequent liuiti others with more
shew oi reason, muiuta n that this
act of betraying his Lord and
Master, was but the outgrowth of
a conupt nature, which bad never
been removed by D.v'ne Grace.
Those who altach any weight to
legendary lore, would be disposed
to jlass Judas, in point of mo al
obaractir, with Herod ti e Great,
or Caligula, or with tho infam u
Nero. For according to this ape
cies of evidence, his mother before
his birth, had a prophetic dream,
announcing to ler that the cnild
that was soon to upprur upon the
stage of uction, would in the pro
cess of time, commit two of the
most atrocious deeds found in th
records of crime. One the murder
of his own Father, ainl the other a
crime still more flugit ous, anil in
order to p-event the ex cutiou ol
these diabolical deeds, the parents,
soon after the birth of the child,
placed the infant Judas in a tight
box and committed it to the i>e.i.
The wa' es bore the discarded waif
to a neighboring Isle And having
fallen into the bands of the Gover
nor of the Island, he was tak<-n
and reared by him,until ho reached
the age of maturity. At that time
having committed an act which en
hungered his life, ho was forced to
ilee the Island, and in doing no, he
made his way hack to Palestine.
On reaching the place ol bis nativ
ity h* perpetrated ‘b« very deeds
for* shadowed in the dream After
wh in he repaired to Jerusalem,
and having ingratiated h mself
w u I’.late the iiomun Procurator,
we was taken into bis family and
made steward of his household.
But being overwhelmed with ra-

graciously, took litiu into bis little

Now where legend leave* Indus,

it is a significant fact, Unit in all
