Sick in n Hospital.
Were the physician or some else in au
thority to announce to you that the one
whom you loved best and whose presence
you most covet, had come to see you and
stay with you and nurse you into health,
your eye would no doubt brighten and
your pale cheek flush with joy. For a
while you would almost forget that you
were sick, and perhaps the medical attend
ant, on his next visit, would find you im
proving from the mere effect of your feel
ings.
Did it ever occur to you that a Christian,
who exercises a living faith in what he pro
fesses to believe, enjoys over every other
person who is sick and afar from home, this
great advantage, that his Best Friend —
nearer, dearer than mother, sister, wife, o"
any one else, is with him all the time— never
leaves him, never forgets him, never is in
different. to him, but is forever and sleep
lessly present beside his sick couch, and
ever bound by the promise, (Rom. 8,»28)
“All things shall work together for good
to them that love God?” How patiently
and pleasantly may such a one lie upon his
bed and think that He who is more to him
than all the world beside, is present with
'him in the darkest and most solitary of his
moments, and will see that no evil shall
befall and no necessary good shall fail to
; come!
Again, did you ever realize the truth
that this Best of Friends is ready to be
come ytmr friend, also, the moment you are
ready to come to him as a needy sinner ?
This is true of Him, no matter what your
past life may have been or your present
) unfitness may seem to be. If you sincerely
j desire Him to be your Friend, and yourself
to be known as one of His friends—if you
wish Him to be your Saviour, and to free
you from the dominion as well as from the
punishment of sin—if you would crown
•Him your King, and become His loyal and
faithful subject, you have nothing to do but
; to go to Him with a sincere heart and say
so. Kneel right down by your bedside, or
i if you cannot leave your bed, then clasp
your hands and look upwards and let your
heart pour forth its desires ; this is coining
II to Him.
J And if you sincerely desire to come, let
i J no discouraging suggestion from the enemy
Hos souls prevail to keep you away. The
i lanjiuage in which Jesus couches his invita
- tfon covers even your case, desperate as it
, may seem to be. He says, (Mat. 9, 13)
i “ 1 am not come t<» call the righteous, but
- sinners to repentance.” If you are n sinner,
■ then he, came to call you. He says again,
- (Mat. 18, I I) “The Son of Man is come to
• | save that w hich was lost." Do you count
I yourself among “the lost?” then you are of
I the kind He came to save. Again He pro- I
- i claims, (Heb. 7, 26) that “He is able to
I save to the uttermost them that come unto
I ; God by Him.” Are you one of the “utter
inmost?” Jesus says He is able to save
■ you. “Able,” say you—“but is he wil
’ ling?” Notice one word more, (John 6,
37) “ Him that cometh td me 1 will in no
’, wise cast out.” This meets every objection
I i that can be offered by a coming sinner.
I No one can say he dare not come to
i Christ because he is too old, too daring, too
1 hardened, too far gone in sin, too great a
j sinner in any respect, for the promise is
i still, “ Him that cometh to me I will in no
• . teisc cast out." Only see to it that you \
come, in the spirit suitable to your cireum-1
stances and to His character.
Lastly, did yon ever think what peculiar
advantages you enjoy, during these sick I
days in a hospital, and especially those sick |
Sabbath days, for seeking and securing the
salvation of your soul ?
You have nothing to do but to attend to
this great matter of which we speak. Now,
friend, I put to your conscience the ques
tion, when can you expect, if you live to
the age of Methusaleh, a time more favora
ble for attending to this great business than
now ? It your conscience answers “never,”
it only agrees w ith w hat, the Lord himself
has declared (2 Cor. 6: 2) “ liehold now
the accepted tune ; behold note is the day of
SALVATION.”
lhen«eek God now. Begin this day to
be a pray ing man. Offer yourself, heartj
. and soul, to the service of Jesus, your]
rightful King. And if you sincerely desire
to come to Him, and yet feel discouraged
- on account of your unworthiness, let me
“ urge you to ponder, and to make your own '
the spirit of the spirit of the following gos
! j pel hymn :
Just ns I am, withunt one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me.
Ami that thou bid's* me come to thee,
; O Lamb of QoJ, I come ' I come!

■ Horrors ot* n Bombardment.
the fol lowing are some extracts from a
I ' private letter of a young lady, who re
mained in Fredericksburg during the late
* bombardment, to a neighbor, at present so-
* journing as a refugee in Lynchburg. They
possess deep interest for our readers:
| “(hi Thursday. December 11th, we were
r awakened by two cannon. Al five o’clock
> we arose and dressed. About six the firing
> began in earnest. We packed our trunks
. amid it all, made a fire in the cellar, and
> thither repaired. We had not been there
an hour when a shell went through our attic
room, breaking bedsteads, etc. One sh->t
went through the parlor, five in all through
the house. As they passed, the crash they
made seemed to threaten instant death to
all; it sounded as though the house were
tumbling in. and would bury us in its rums
After a while the bombardment ceased, but
the musketry sounded to my ears yet more .
awful, for I knew they were fighting in the
streets. My ears are suddenly shocked by I
a shout of demoniacal glee—“ Here are the i
infernal rebels! fire, boys, fire!" Two]
dreadful cries rend the air—our gallant*
" and
parents,
with
c<»W it
arated
SHS BAHHBB.
Capt. Cook is killed at our corner. To
hear the fiendish cry of the enemy unnerv
ed me more than the explosion often thou
sands of shells that burst around us.
AU being now’ quiet for a time we lie "
down, but not to sleep; for, hark ! they are
breaking into houses like so many demons. .
With terrible force they threw themselves I
against our doors, back and front. Oh! •
who can tell the horrors of that night ?
They order my father out, declaring that
he has wineWn his cellar, &c. He assures
them he has only his unoffending wife and
eight children there.
Th as passes the night, the fire still
raging. About eight o’clock the flames
burst forth in our vicinity, and we expect ]
every moment to find our roof on fire. In
the midst of the excitement a soldier rush
ed in with his bayonet, which he pointed at
my father’s breast and ordered him to fol
low him. My father asked why? but the
manner in which he repeated the order
convinced him that he must follow or die.
They carried father to headquarters, and
after accusing him of firing on them from
his house, lie was released, the officer be
fore whom he was arraigned reading a lie
in the face of the accuser and innocence in
that of the accused. While he was gone,
soldiers came to me at the front door, and
mother behind, and assured us that our *
house was on fire; but such was not the ]
case. The trick did not succeed ; nor did
the story afford them the opportunity they
sought to rob the house.
The next day every unoccupied house was
plundered and every piece of furniture de
stroyed. Mr. A. has lost everything ; his
house is riddled with shells; and his wife
and child have nothing to wear but what
they have on. Hundreds are in the same
situation. * * Every house, not inhab-
ited has been sacked or ruined inside. The
Federals committed every species of out
rage*
