Sis there ia no one of my hearaca to whom the word* may he atrictly applied, for if we take hope out of a man's life it ia not worth the living. The young man mav shave failed yesterday, but he hai hoped that he may un-reed to-morrow; the bumne*» man who haa lost hit fortune in tlia wreck of past days ia not discouraged because hope buoys him up. and he is confident that prosperity will be hi* once again. Take hope from our lives and we are of all men most miserable, and if in addition to being deprived of hope we have no God we are not only .hopeless for time, but hopeless also for eternity, for since we were made to be filled with God and all our being w^s so adjusted as to be e to Hi* nature, there is no sadder ■ than to be without Him. fiorae

a may have been ain of an ii nificant diameter; to be givan up to affection* is' to be permitted to set our !3ir.sryi'^»» , iidPi42' of steel, but to be given ever to a reprobate mind is to be honelcsn. 1 make an appeal ttwlav in behalf of those whosa live* are in the least touted by am; it

ia a dangerous position.

Whit ia the greatest a 1 !! in all the catalogue as written in God'a word? Ii thia question were put to men there would be ' nost as many answers aa there are men. is not impurity, nor dishonesty. These things are not even to be considered in the light of the greatest aiu of all, which i. unbelief. When we read in the gospel, that the Holy Ghost is to come, it i* aaid that He will reprove the world of sin. and that air is described aa not believing on Him. To reject Chriat. therefore, ia the chief cat of all transgfesaions.

The regular life of the soldier became tame; he was utterly unfitted for service. There came a time when in company with others who were also under the influence of Burr he mast 1 ursszss- K’s; ; another escaped sentence, but

His reply was an oath, and in the presence of the court be cursed his country and said that he wished be might never again bear the sound of the name United Stales; that he hated hi* native land. The judge, with a white face, answered, "It shall be aafou ESSL “TE i\,% never-again hear of your country." At

Indeed he was to be a man witfabut a-country from this time on. He was permitted once each day to dine with the officer*, but they did not care to have him. because when he waa present eould not talk of home; under no eh •tanres waa he to ever see his country again and never was he to hear of it. He was not permitted to go on shore wbererep the lauding might be.
