God usually works by means; and he tells us, to "bring all the tithes into his storehouse, that there may be meat in his house, and prove him now herewith, if he will not open the windows of Heaven, and pour us out a blessing that there be not room enough to receive it." How carefully, then, should we examine ourselves, to know if our own hearts are right in the sight of God, (for "our first great business on earth is our own sanctification") and then daily and hourly ask, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" All have at least one talent, and the constant inquiry of each should be, what can i do for the advancement of my Saviour's kingdom in my own heart, 385 us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."

Several of them took it without any serious effects, but unfortunately for young Powers, from the quantity he took, he soon became wild and frantic, discovering great strength. He took hold of the legs of a large man, and threw him on his back. Soon after he manifested tinued so during the afternoon. In the evening he went home, evidently unwell, complaining of heaviness-he immediately went to bed. During the night he groaned, and repeatedly asked for water. In the morning his head was very much swollen, his temples distended, and his face much bloated, with some fever. On his getting up he soon became faint, with nausea at the stomach, and considerble alarm was excited for his life. and the hearts of those around me?

Do we really believe that impenitent sinners are hast-symptoms of drowsiness-and conening to eternal ruin, and that to this awful doom they are every moment exposed? Then let us be consistent, and awake from our slumbers. Let us love our neighbors as ourselves; pray and labor in earnest for them, and plead in such a manner as shall prevail. Let us offer the "sacrifice of a broken and contrite heart, which God will not despise." When christians are humble, broken hearted, prayerful, and love one another, great blessings are in store for them.
