tribute of your property to send bibles, tracts and missionaries of the cross to instruct them. I ought to add, in this connexion--that while you diligently seek the conversion of sinners to Christ, you should never overlook their temporal welfare but in imitation of your divine Master, be the constant friend and helper of the poor, the afflicted, the ignorant and the oppressed" Weep with them that weep, and rejoice with them that rejoice." 9. The last direction which I shall give to young christians, is: Let CHRIST be the Alpha and the Omega-the beginning and the end of your religion. Not only must you rest on him, as the foundation, but he must be "in you— the hope of glory." I would have you now and ever understand that it is only through the precious BLOOD, the infinite MERITS, and the allperfect RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ, that your soul can be saved. You become interested in him, as your Saviour, by faith, which is of the operation of God's spirit. You evidence your union to him by imitating his example and obeying his commands. Receive him, therefore, as your ALL in ALL." Do every thing in his name and strength; hope in him; rely on him; rejoice in his fulness; be clothed with the clean and white robe of his righteousness; bear his name on your vesture and on your forehead. In times of sorrow, go to him for comfort; in weakness, go to him for strength; in temptation, go to him for succor; in spiritual conflicts, trust in him for victory; and in death, joyfully commit thy departing spirit into his hands. "Oh, the rich depths of love divine Of bliss a boundless store! Dear Saviour, let me call thee mine- "On thee alone my hope relies, My Lord, my life, my sacrifice, My Saviour, and my all." As motives to induce you to follow these directions, I will add, that thus doing you will adorn the profession of religion which you have made; your growth in piety will be sure; your usefulness as a christian will be felt in every sphere in which you move; the fruits of holi ness will hang in rich clusters upon your character; the "full assurance of hope" in the end, will give you victory over death, and the Saviour himself will crown you with glory and honor and immortality in his kingdom! Amen. CONTENTS. A MORE PARTICULAR ACCOUNT OF HER RELIGIOUS EX- ERCISES FROM CRILDHOOD TO THE AGE OF TWENTY THREE.
