" * v? i i? am uia jewels, ana wDO enjoy tils special favor, and who. at he inform* ni.

Trinity Church ?In the morning, the Kev Dr Butler (rector) discoursed from Psalms. 13 5.8 41 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and mjr mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips " ' When 1 remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches " All, he thought, recognized in the life of man two distinct types of true religious character. In both, there was religious principle and belief and religious feeling; bnt in the one religions princi pie is >!. 1? - uun uianru characteristic, and in the other religious feeling The language of the one was. "Though be slay me. vet will I trust him;" the other was the language of the text. Mauv Christiana had also observed how these two element* of a true religion had varied at different times in their own experier.c . Sometimes tbev had been conscious of holding fast to their religious principle and belief with an mi relaxing grasp, while they had painfully felt ths want of warm and religious aucttikina ai omer time*, while their religious 1 belief and principle had remained in all its strength, they had also had their h*?art? doubly warmed, interested and blessed in the truths of the Word, and 011 which they had acted from a ?e ise of duty. The latter they considered to be the higher style of a Christian life, as thty knew it to 1ms the happier. It was this for which they Wjuld strive; the want of it which they mourned Man should strive to contemplate the truths of God, and the representations of Jesus and Heaven, just as they are revealed In his llolv Word It was not the cultivated minds which stripped from spiritual truths the ac<: om pint men ts nf the Divine Word, isolated, abstracted them, and strove by Intense meditation to grasp and hold them, that must enjoyed communion with God. and the sweet meditations from Heaven No; It w.:s the souls of little children, and of simple ones life- ?wnJ? - - I vuiiumi, ncn in laiitt, and heirs of the kingdom, which could adopt the language of David, j <t? recorded in the text. Asylum?In the afternoon Rev. J. M or sell, D I D . preached front St. John, 13 8: "Jesus answered bint, if 1 wash thee not thou hast no part with me." The words of our Savior are truths He is Incapable of speaking else than truth. He lias taught us in His wora that unless we observe His commandments we can have no part with Him, and if we have no part with Hiut where must our lot be cast. Jesus is the great fountain, and we are implored to seek this fountain that we may be washed. He has power to cleanse us from our sins and give us clean hearts, that we may walk in the way of holiness, and at last, after we have served His righteous will on earth, He his power to take us to himself that we may enjoy the happiness of eternity.

That objection I-beg to submit in the form of a query : Would it not be well to inquire of the men who blow the big horns, and the small hurm. and the intermediate sized horns, which, when all blow together, make such a delightful "concord of sweet sounds," how they would like to be compelled to devote a considerable part of what is to them, as well as every other working man, a day of rest, to tooting away on the aforesaid horns for the especial gratittcation of the hosts of "American!," "True Sabbat iriai.s,'* and "Laboring Men," who would. 110 doubt, attest the jHjpularity of the change by their attendance Now. it is not my purpose in submitting this objection to place a stumbling block In the mighty "march of progress,'" <>r the advancement of "equal rights," but simply with the desire to have it satisfai torl y answered; for F confess, Mr Editor, that I am ready to partiiij>ate in the "fun of the thing" which would follow the change, if I can be con vinceu mai "wnai is run for the b> y ' may not be death to thefrogs " Blower.
