have been taught. We must part now, and perhaps may not meet again in this world : but there is a connection between us, which will last, even through eternity, and be the cause, either of great pleasure, or of great pain. We have read together that book, which is able to make us wise unto salvation ; you have heard the joyful sound of the Gospel ; you have been told what you must do to be saved. These things, by God's blessing, I have taught, and you have heard. If we now neglect them, and become careless as to the concerns of our souls, how do you think we shall meet at the last day! How shall I bear to remember that I taught you what I did not practice myself; and how will you bear to look on one whose instructions you despised, and whose advice you forsook! O! my dear girl, let us strive by God's grace to prevent such an unhappy meeting: let us earnestly seek to " adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things;" and to hold fast that blessed hope which we have received through him. Then, indeed, we shall have a happy meeting on the day of judgment. How will you thank God for the blessings and advantages of a Sunday-school; and how shall I praise hina for giving me such a rich reward of my labours ! But, my dear Jane, you

are now entering upon a state of great trial; you are called upon to engage in a warfare, which must last to the end of your life. Your enemies are up in arms against you; the devil is watching; the world is laying snares for you; and your own heart, if not changed by divine grace, will help them to ruin you. Against such enemies as these, what is your own strength? It is nothing; I hope you feel it to be nothing. But, hear the gracious words of your Saviour, “My grace is sufficient for thee.” Go then to Jesus for his grace: be died that you might have it ; and he never refuses any one, who sincerely asks for it. It is only by putting on the whole armour of God, that you can withstand such great and strong enemies. (See Ephesians vi. 11.)

And remember, my dear, that you cannot really put these truths away from you, though you may try to do so ; you cannot be in the state of one who is ignorant of them, even if you would. The light of the Gospel shines upon you, and you cannot help seeing it: the Bible is in your hands, and it will either save you, or condemu you.

I wish to say a few words on the du. ties of that state, to which it pleases God to call you; and I cannot do better, than put you in mind of St. Paul's instructions

Jesus ! thy followers little thought,

How great the child's necessity,
When they forbade, and suffered not,

The little ones to come to thee.

What mercy in that mild rebuke

On those unmov'd our wants to see;
What greater mercy in the look,

Which smiled on helpless infancy.

PRAISE

« Praise ye the Lord!” Our Maker praise ;
To sing his Works your voices raise !
In youth, in manhood, and in age,
Let praise your hearts and lips engage!

“ Praise ye the Lord!” Our SAVIOUR praise,
Who Grace and Love to us displays;
Let all the world aloud proclaim
The glories of our Jesu's name!

“ Praise ye the Lord!" The SPIRIT praise,
Who guides us in his holy ways;
Christ he reveals to praying hearts;
His Gifts and Graces he imparts.

“ Praise ye the Lord!” The FATHFR, Son, And SPIRIT praise---great Three in One; Babes, men, and sires, with one accord Resound his praise--.“ Praise ye the Lord!"

A. Foster, Printer, Kirkby Lonsdale.

LETTER From a Teacher to a Sunday-scholar, on her

going to service. MY DEAR JANE,- As the time is now come, when your duty calls you to leave the Sunday-school, in which I have so long been your teacher, I cannot bear to part with you, without giving you a few words of advice; and I beg you to receive this letter as a token of my affection for you, and of my earnest wishes for your welfare. Indeed, I have so long been anxious about you, you have so of ten been the subject of my prayers and of my thoughts, that I feel bound to you by the ties of Christian love; and I can truly say, that few things could give me greater pleasure, than to hear that you walk worthy of that Gospel which you

have been taught. We must part now, and perhaps may not meet again in this world : but there is a connection between us, which will last, even through eternity, and be the cause, either of great pleasure, or of great pain. We have read together that book, which is able to make us wise unto salvation ; you have heard the joyful sound of the Gospel; you have been told what you must do to be saved. These things, by God's. blessing, I have taught, and you have heard. If we now neglect them, and become careless as to the concerns of our souls, how do you think we shall meet at the last day! How shall I bear to remember that I taught you what I did not practice myself; and how will you bear to look on one whose instructions you despised, and whose advice you forsook ! O! my dear girl, let us strive by God's grace to prevent such an unhappy meeting: let us earnestly seek to "sadorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things ;" and to hold fast that blessed hope which we have received through him. Then, indeed, we shall have a happy meeting on the day of judgment. How will you thank God for the blessings and advantages of a Sunday school, and how shall I praise him for giving me such a rich reward of my labours ! But, my dear Jane, you
