true friends, choose them

with great care, and let their- number he small.i

Have no friend who does , t not four God, who 15 not;

wholly governed by the truths of religion. To friends like these, open

our heart without reserve, ‘and keep nothing secret from them but the secrets of others.

Goon INTENTIONs,——It is the common law of Provi- dence, that in this world at least, very little is ever granted to merely good in- teniions.

STARTING RIGHT on VVRoNG.——“ In the first place,” says the late Amos Lawrence, in a letter to a young college student, “ take this for your motto at the commencement of your journey, that the dif— ference between going just right or a [title wrong, will be the difIEi‘ence of finding yourself in good quarters, or in a miserable bog or slough at the end of it. To this simple tact of starting just right am I indebted, with God’s blessing on my lab rs, for my present po—

isition, as well as that of'the

numerous connections that have sprung up around me,”

A SUMMARY OF RELI‘ emu—There is no salva- tion but by the free mercy of God; no mercy but through the mediation of Christ; no interest in Christ except by faith in him; no justifying faith but that which works by love and purifies the heart; no love to Christ which does not include love to his people, his example, his precepts; no genuine love to his people which does not influ— ence a man to do good to them, as he has ability and opportunity.
