Take the happy tidings Where trade can be done ; Spread the poaoeful gospel With a Getting gun, T&. the wretched natives Sinful are their hsarte ; Turn their 1loathuu temples Into spirit mart;, Aud if to your preaching They will not suconmb, Substibate for sermons Adulterated rum, Tell them they are pagane In black error souk, Make of them gond Christiane, That is—make them drank, And if on the bible They still clare to frown. You meet do your duty— Take and shoot them down. When the Tan Oommandmonts They quite understand, You, their abler, must boons And annex their land. And if they, misguided, Call you to acoouot, Read thein—in their language— The Sermon on the Mount. If, spite all your teaohing, Trouble still they give ; If, spite rum or meeelee, Some of them still live ; Then with purpose moral, Spread false tales about; Instigate a quarrel And let then tight it out.

I mean to do as my mother does— My mother is good and sweet— And so are ten out of every ten Of the mothers that we meet."

Going gently about a thing wont hinder its being clone. I am always content with what hap- pens, for Gocl chooses better than I do. We have nothing to do with our past but to get a future out of it. Sofeuce ever has been and ever must be the safeguard of religion. A sound discretion is not so much in- dicated by never making a mistake as by never repeating it. There ie transcendent power in ex• ample. We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly. The way to wealth is as plain as the way to market ; it depends obiefiy on two words—industry and frugality. There is no such thing as chance, and what to us seems accident springs frotn the deepest sources of destiny. There is no action of man in this life which is not the beginning of so long a chain of consequences as that no human providsooeie high enough to give us a prospect to the end. There is only one greater folly than that of the fool who says in his heart there is no God ; and that is the folly of those whe say with the heart that they do not know whether there is a God or not. Let us with caution indulge the sup- position that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of reli- gious principle. Hold fast to the Bible as the anchor of your liberties ; write its precepts on your hearts, and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this book wa are indebted for the progress made in true civilization, and to this we must look me our guide in the future.
