pleasant words: "Now another harp is heard in heaven! Another shout of thanksgiving has resounded above the starry pavement of the skies! Another burst of hallelujahs has welcomed an aged servant of the Redeemer to the mansions of the blessed."

And now from the solitude of that graveyard a voice addresses the readers of Old Humphrey's Papers and memoir. It is the parting appeal. Interpreted aright, it calls to all to prepare to meet their God, by a life of faith in Christ, manifested in a life of obedience to the divine commands. Realize the great purpose of existence; ponder on the rapid flight of time; forget not that "the night cometh when no man can work." Let the salvation of the soul be a personal, an immediate object; without delay seek mercy at the foot of the cross. Then, with Christ in the heart the hope of glory, let "every one according to his several ability" seek to advance the cause of truth and righteousness in the earth. Whatever be the talent possessed, or the field of labour enjoyed, occupy it well and diligently. Whether you aim to do good by active beneficence, or by passive submission, whether by the utterances of the lip, or the written thoughts, or the diligence of the hands, see well to it that all is done for the honour of the Saviour and under a sense of the love and service you owe to him

"Wherefore, gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ:" 1 Pet. i. 13.
