…. "What changes have come since I first wrote to you several years ago ! How wonderfully I have been helped and blessed! It seems to me that the most important moment in my whole life was when I caught a glimpse of the awful majesty and holiness of God, and saw myself measured by it! It makes me tremble when I think of the Great White Throne; for if a Christian, in this day of grace, can feel as I did, what will it be when all hope has fled to encounter the wrath of the Lamb! I feel like exclaiming to everyone whom I meet, "I beseech you, in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." How terrible, to be lost forever- and almost in sight of land! One wrote, as to a mere shipwreck,

"And the spars and the broken timbers "
Were cast on a storm-beat strand :
And a cry went up in the darkness-
Not far, not far from land !"

" How sad it has been to listen to the jokes about the end of the world on Dec. 17th. It has been difficult to enlighten people because they know nothing about prophecy and the dispensations. They are in such darkness that one feels incompetent when it comes to explanations.

"I have found out many things of late. One is this; You may talk about religion and good works; you may attend church three times a day, and all is well. But if perchance you get interested in the Scriptures as God's own words to you, if you try to exalt Christ, and strive to live out the teaching of that hymn-

"With staff in hand and feet well shod,
Nothing but Christ, the Christ of God,"

then you arouse the antagonism of all classes-religious and worldly alike.

" F– is quite ill, but we trust she may be restored to health. I shall never forget the night when, as we were reading a little gospel tract, she exclaimed with tears;

" That is the first time I was .ever told that we didn't have to do something to be saved.

" I suppose one reason why a free salvation is so hard for people to grasp is because we have to pay for everything else we get." C–.

It is of greatest importance in presenting the gospel to the sinner to show how utterly ruined and condemned by the law he is. The weight of the law's demands, and the sin it condemns, must be felt in the conscience before the need of grace is appreciated. It was this that the 1,500 years of the law's ministry was meant to produce-to bring in man as guilty before God; and so to open his ear to the sweet gospel of God's grace through Christ, the Lamb of God who suffered for us, "the Just for the unjust." What a costly redemption this is – costly to the Son of God who bore the weight of Divine judgment upon sin-blessedly free to us who can bring nothing to Him but our sins.-[Ed.
