In triumph to float o'er th' land and th' main, As it first flew o'er our fathers of vore, And thus may it fly till time is no more! For no prouder flag has yet ever hung Above the green earth, or 'neath the bright sun, Than the Palmetto Flag o'er the sons ofher brave, At home or abroad, on the land or the wave! Tis the brave old Flag our fathers once bore To victories grand, on sea and on shore, And ofl 'neath its folds, as brothers they've stood, And earnestly vowed to each other and God, Never to yield to n tyrant or foe, While the Palmetto Flag should over them flow; But stand up like men and pour out their blood, And fight on till freed from despots abroad ! Tis a grand old Flag, and wherever it goes, It has freemen for friends and tyrants for foes? Foes to the Union, Constitution and Laws? To justice, virtue and humanity's cause! Yet has our Flag been ever upborne 'Mid rapine and bloodshed, fire and storm, And tho' by vast numbers oft sorely oppressed, HI. <- r*?.l I !. .ralloil in th? limit ! 1 nulltv uuu . IV una uv.?vt uuuwu m.? ..... Let fanatics howl and deride as they may, But the Pahncito Flag, as our insignia to-day, Floats high without spot or blemish its folds, Upheld by brave hearts and liberal souls, Wlin'r true to the Union and true to the States, Wedded in love to live as helpmates? Just as the great billows roll over the seaForever as one, yet all of them free ! Then up with our Flag ! still higher to view, That's sprung, like the phoenix, from her ashes anew, And the black and the white, the brave and the true Will e'er rally 'round it, as freemen should do ! And here, where so many have sutF'red and died, We'll keep it afloat, whatever betide; With Hampton to lead our fire-tried men We'll soon see our State made prosp'rous again! For the Palmetto Flag has ne'er proved a shield To robbers and thieves, in camp or the field; No matter how fierce or bitter the strife We've ever held honor far dearer than life; And greatly wronged, as our Flag's often been By the ambitious and sordidly mean, Yet it still shines, as it shone in its youth, The symbol of virtue and emblem of truth! ? ' The Palmetto Flag! hoist it up! we are free! And, trusting in God, hope ever to be; And now if one fail to act well his part, May a curse fall upon him and wither his heart; And honest men hiss him with every breath Till the vile creature is chased to his death ; For only the good we'd have here remain Who'll work for the State, her glory and fame ! For the Palmetto State It must be reclaimed, Till no other spot on earth can be named A brighter or better, to which we may roam Or patriot exiles more joyfully come! Nor till we've made it just what it should be? A fit home for th' noble, gallant and freeWhere every part is with bright beautv crowned, Will we rest until that goal shall be found !

He was a life insurance agent, and walked into this office with that air composed in equal parts of self-complacency and brass, which all of them wear when on the track of a victim. "Our company," he remarked, "is the only reliable one in the United States. Its charter is so framed that it cannot burst. It is purely mutual, and in nine hundred and seventy-seven years by the watch the assured is paid a large annual salary by the company for the privilege of carrying a policy on his life. Only think, my dear sir, if you, the natural protector of that dear wife and of those angelic children, should be taken away, they might be forced, like many others, to beg from door to door?" He was just getting warmed up to the pathos appropriate to the occasion, when we inquired, "What salary is paid the president of your company ?" "Only sixty thousand dollars, a mere pittance." "And the vice-president ?" "Twenty-five thousand dollars, an insiguificant trifle." "Your secretary receives, I believe?" "Only eighteen thousand." "And the actuary?" "Twelve thousand dollars." "The medical director?" "Ten thousand dollars." "It is evident," we remarked, "that something should be done to relieve these men from the load of poverty under which they are staggering. At such salaries, they certainly lack , the very necessities of life, and on mature reflection we roust refuse to extend our patronage to a company which does not pay its officers at least living salaries. The laborer is worthy of his hire, and purely mutual companies which have a cash balance after paying their officers are not worthy of confidence, and must not expect any encouragement in this office." The agent looked thoughtful as he left the office, and we hope that these few words, of which we were the humble instrument, may be the means of righting a great wrong.?Chicago Saturday Evening Herald. A Legal Decision.?They tell a good story in North Carolina of the way one of the colored magistrates decides cases which come before him. Soon after the war the custom was for the white men who owned the land and the mules to lease them to the colored men, and receive tneretor one-nan tne crop. Such a bargain was made, but before the crop was grown the colored man died. His widow and children went on with the farm, and when the crop was gathered the white man went down to get his share. But the woman repudiated the contract, and claimed the whole of the crop. The case was brought before a colored magistrate, who, having heard the woman's story, that she raised the crop, promptly decided in her favor. The white man put in his objections, and urged that the land and mules were his, and half the crop belonged to him. The old magistrate, who could not read and was a good specimen of a North Carolina negro, pondered the case for a moment, and then issued his "rescript" in the following words: "De earth am de Lord's and de fulness thereof?de crops belong to de woman," and it was with great difficulty that the decision was reversed and the white man got his dues. All-Sided.?A young Englishman, who came to this country about three weeks ago, bought a lot of delicate China ware to send to some of his friends in the East. Happening to be in his room when he was nailing up the box, we suggested to him that, owing to the fragile nature of the contents, it might be just as well were he to write "This side up" thereon. " 'Appy thought," said Smythe; "I will, dear boy." Yesterday Smythe came into the office with a very dull face. "What's the matter?" "Matter, dammit!" said Smythe, "you remember those blareted things I sent Heast, you know? China tea-cups, and all that sort of thing, you know ?" "Yes," we said. "Have you heard whether they arrived safely ?" "Hevery blareted one of them broke," said Smythe, with a groan. "Yet you wrote 'This side up' on the box, didn't you ?" "Yes; and wot's more, blaret it, I wrote 'This side hup' on the top, and because they mightn't see it there, I wrote it on the bottom., too, you know, 'ang hit hall!" A Misunderstanding.?A colored wo- j man stepped into a cigar store the other day 1 and asked the price of "flat tobacker." "Why," said the shopkeeper, "you don't chew, do you ?" "No, sah ; I doesn't chaw.' I wants it to send to my husband." "Where is your husband ?" "Well, he's down South." "Whereabouts down fsoutn r " w ny, aown? \ well, he's in." "Why," said the shop-keeper, i "what's the matter ?" "Well," said she, j "There was some misunderstanding about some bacon and he couldn't explain it. I understood it; but he couldn't make de cote understand it." Shi: Died.?A. sick cow in Hartford was treated, recently, to three pailfuls of medcine, i whereat the owner of the cow marvelled great- j ly. "Why, bless you," exclaimed the physician, "that's nothing. Last Tuesday I gave | a sick cow three pailfuls of strong thoroughwort tea, boiled down black ; three quarts of castor oil; a pailful of butternut bark tea, steeped very strong, and a quart of gin?and the critter died, then!"

To say that this is an important season, would be to say i what every intelligent farmer in the land knows. Theory and practice, however, are 1 not always found in an equal sta e of devel- 1 opment. Knowing what is right and proper is one thing, and doing what is right and ( proper is another thing. Such is the roudi- j tion of the Southern country?in fact of tii "1 < whole country, North and South?that it is < necessary for the general good that each indi- 1 vidupl do his duty with promptness and energy , In working a crop, it should be adopted as ' a rule to push the work, and not permit, if i possible, the work to push you. Never stop work ou account of dry weather and never < stir tho ground when it is too wet. If the ground is so hard that it can uot be plowed deep, plow on?scratch over the top?break the crust and the grouud will gather moisture and the crop will begin to grow. Do not suffer your crop to become stunted. Such a course is most injurious to both animals and vegetables. Stuuting either a vegetable or an animal is thought, by some, to make it hardy. It may make it hard but not hardy. Stunting is one process of killing things, and it is very effectual. So soon as the young plant is seen out of the ground, begin to stir the soil around it. Break the ground close to it and as deep as possible. As it increases in size, avoid, as much as possible, disturbing the roots. The farmer who waits until his cotton begins to make forms before he begins to work it, can not make a full crop. It is bad economy to let the grass grow in your cultivated fields, even if you are certain you can kill it before mid-summer. Every sprig of grass which grows in the corn or cotton field, takes its support from the soil and 1 hence robs the growing crop. It is not very I profitable to toil and struggle in killing a 1 large crop of well matted grass in a corn or . cotton field. In most instances, the grass will ' have ruined the crop before you get the grass , killed. To prevent the grass from injuring | the crop, the farmer must begin the work of j cultivating his crop at an early period. I In about four weeks, the small grain harvest will begin. Now is the season to gain time so that the wheat and oats may be har x.J ?** ! -4 -- nnun r\t* nnffnn . VeSLtJU WllllUUt UIJUIJ kU LUG W1U v? vuvuvu. y Six weeks' work will generally make a crop < after the crop is planted, but these six weeks I must be at the proper time. It is a waste of j time to put off* planting until June, and then 1 continue to work through August. All the 1 crop that is made in our latitude that is worth j any thing, is made by the end of July. Nine- ( tenths of the cotton crop is made in July. It is only occasionally that any cotton is made 1 after the first week in August. If any man t doubts this, let him take notice, during the i coming season, and he will be convinced. J This being a fact, it is clear that it is to the t interest of every farmer to push forward bis t cotton crop as fast as possible. The same c principle holds good with regard to corn. It 1 must be remembered that, without work? t quick work?neither corn nor cotton will I make a full crop in our country. r FARMING. s In no pursuit is there a broader or better i field for an enterprising man, than in agricul- 1 ture. In other business pursuits we see men e of enterprise meeting with great success and n great reverses. The most of our successful I business men have had, at some period in their t lives, failures. And not one successful busi- e ness man retires with a competence, when fifty have fallen by the wayside. Indeed, 1 the pathway of our commercial men is all 1 along whitened by the tombstones of men I who have fallen in the march to commercial 1 fame and fortune. i But in agricultural pursuits there is no ne- I cessity for such failures. The pursuit is a ( more stable one. The great financial convul- f sions that wreck the fortunes of so many men t engaged in commercial pursuits, pass over the f heads of farmers and leave them compara- t tively unharmed. It is true they lower the ( prices of their products, but they do not ruth- i lessly destroy the value of everything, and ( leave farmers financially stranded. They i have only to "pick their flints" and try again. The field for enterprise has greatly enlarged 1 for the farmer within the last few years. By t the introduction of improved implements and f machines, the farmer can usually do ten times 1 the amount of business he did a few years c ago. If his judgment is good, he can sue- i cessfully manage large farms and derive as i large and more certain incomes than business ? men in many other pursuits. I If he turns his attention to stock he can r. keep vast herds. If to the improved breeds, i high prices can be obtained proportionate to ( their high breeding and value. 1 But farmers, likeother business men, should < keep their accounts accurately, to be perma- t nently successful. They should keep an ac- ( count with each crop, charging it its actual ? * ? .?- -.VL - L Zi. 1?: / cost ana crediting it wnn wnat it unngs iu \ market?to see whether it pays, and how i much it pay, and which crop pays best. We s need more farmers of enterprise; more and j ( better business men on the farm, for it will be j found that brains pay as well there as any-11 where.?Netv South. Cucumbers on Trellises.?Wherever we 11 go we see the cucumber in the open air suffer- j j ed to run on the ground. This is, no doubt, j ( a relic of European culture. There it is ne-j cessary. The climate is not hot enough, and ! the plants have to be started, if not grown i altogether in low flat glass frames. But 1 where the cumber grows wild, it spreads over : j bushes and trees, and the growth aud product j is enormous. All plants with tendrils prefer | to ramble in this way. The grape vine, it is ! well known, seems fairly to rejoice when it \k can find a large mass of twiggy brush to ram- ' ble over as it wills; and so does the cucumber, j' No one who has not tried can have auy idea * of the luxurious growth of a cucumber when : ^ traiued to a stake which has a set of stubby side branches left along its length. Some which the writer saw might be taken at a dis- j tance for some vigorous kiud of ornamental j gourd?aud the crop was enormous. A great advantage in this style of culture is that the i plants occupy far less ground than when per- :! mitted to spread over the surface in the usual ' way. This is a great gain to small gardens? ' and to large ones for that matter, for if we J have land enough and to spare, few of us have j . time to waste in preparing more of it than is j necessary to the perfection of a crop.? Gard-!, ner's Monthly, Plowing Wet Soil.?Hardly any prao- ' tice on the farm is more to be deprecated thau I plowing or stirring the soil in the spring when , wet. This is one of the small operations, af-11 fecting oftiraes a whole crop, and lasting injuriously through a whole season. Unless in a sandy soil stirring or moving by spade, plow or harrow when wet tends to compress and compact its particles, when the object is or ought to be to pulverize and make mellow. "Good tillage is manure," and stirring of wet soil is only allowable in a brick yard. No implement, that we know of, is capable of again opening lumps of earth to atmospheric action < and influences after they have once closed up ' by compression and become externally har- j I dened. Any one can observe this by mould- ' iug a lump of damp earth in his hand, when j it becomes the consistency of putty. When . exposed to the air it becomes nearly as hard i as stone.?Scientific American. 11 UtisceUaiteflus Reading. MRS. GAINES' $35,000,000. , l'he History of a Lawsuit Involving' Part of the City of New Orleans. We have already briefly announced that Judge Billings, of the United States District Court for Louisiana, had rendered a decision in the case of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines vs. the City of New Orleans and others, in which the court sustains the claims of the plaintiff, and recognizes the probate of the will of Daniel Clark of 1813. The decree of the court commands the defendants to account to a master in chancery, for all the income from this property during their long possession. They are austed from their titles and from all the accumulation therefrom. This decision involves also heavy claims against the city, which has sold a large amount of the property in question, with a full warranty of title. Fhis is a phase of one of the longest and most interesting lawsuits in the annals of A.raericau jurisprudence. The history of the jase is briefly as follows: Mrs. Gaines is the widow of Gen. Edmund ^iolnoa otir) troo hrvrn in "MoUf Op. eans iu 1805. Her father, Daniel Clark, was )orn in the County Sligo, Ireland, in 1766, rnd emigrated to New Orleans, inherited a considerable property from his uncle in 1799. Before the acquisition of Louisiana, he was American consul there, and represented the erritory in Congress, in 1806. In August, 1813, Daniel Clark died, and his property was iisposed of under a will dated may 20, 1811, which gave the bulk of his estate to his mother, Mary Clark, who was then living in Gernantown, Pennsylvania. He was also supposed to be a bachelor, but was known to have pad a laisou with a very beautiful Creole, Zuime des Granges. Two daughters were born >f this connection, one at Philadelphia in A.pril, 1802, and the other, Myra, at New Oreans, in 1805. The latter was taken to the louse of Colonel Davis, a friend of Clark's, aursed by a Mrs. Harper, and grew up in Philadelphia, where she was known as Myra Davis. In 1830, Mr. Davis, being then a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, sent home for certain papers, and in searching for these, Myra discovered some letters which partially revealed the secret of her birth, and laid the foundation of the lawsuit which has since become famous. In 1832, she married W. W. Whitney, of New York, who in followiug up the discovery made by his wife, secured from Col. Davis an old letter which gave an account of a will made by Clark in 1813, just before his death, giving all his large estate to Myra, and acknowledging her as his legitimate daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney went immediately to Cuba, and there, after a long search, discovjred the writer of the letter, and with the aid :>f evideuce given by him, began suit in New Orleans for the property of Daniel Clark, which had, in the meantime, become immensely valuable, and included a great part of the present business quarter of the city. On the trial of this suit, the Mrs. Harper above raen:ioned testified that four weeks before his ieath, Clark showed her the will he had made n favor of Myra, and acknowledged the child's legitimacy. Baron de Boistontaine testified that Clark lad made the same statements to him. On .his and other corroborative evidence the lost vill was received by the Supreme Court pf Louisiana, on February 18, 1856, as the last vill and testament of Daniel Clark, though he document itself could not be found. The Ejection was then iuterposed, that by the aws of Louisiana, a testator could not make levises to his adulterine bastard. On this )oint, however, two sisters of Myra's mother estified that Zaliroe des Granges was privatey married to Clark in their presence in Philidelphia in 1803, by a Catholic priest, ithavng been learned that Zulime's reputed hus)and, Des Granges, had another wife living, md was, therefore, not legally married. In mother suit growing out of thi9 difficulty the Jnited States Supreme Court decided that he marriage and legitimacy of Myra were atablished. In the meantime, Mr. Whitney died, and lis widow married Gen. Gaines, whom she las also outlived. Assisted by the General, Mrs. Gaines continued her litigation, and in 1856, in the Supreme Court of the United States, filed a bill in equity to recover valuable real estate then in the possession of the nty of JNew Urleans, and a decision in ner avor was rendered in 1867. The value of he property claimed was estimated, in 1861, it 835,000,000, of which Mrs. Gaines had, up ,o 1874, obtained possession of some 86,000,)00. Numerous actions of ejectment against ndividual parties have followed, and it is no loubt one of these that Judge Billings has low decided in Mrs. Gaines' favor. The heroine of this romantic story is a little plack-eyed lady of over seventy, who still reams traces of former uncommon beauty, she is well educated, quick and courageous. Her long and varied experience in the law jourts have given her a legal education of no uean character. On several occasions, and lotably in the Supreme Court of the United states in 1861, she has pleaded her own cause personally and with remarkable success. Though at the time of General Gaines'death i wealthy woman, she has often been in finan:ial straits, for she has spent several large ortunes in prosecuting her claims. The propjrty now known as the Houmas plantation ind belonging t<rMr. John Burnside, of New Drleans, was at one time part of the Gaines' istate, and was sold, with the slaves on it, to jeneral Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, n 1812, for 8500,000. When Mrs. Gaines lucceeds in getting possession of all the prqp;rty awarded her, she will be the wealthiest person in New Orleans, and, perhaps, the -ichest woman in the world. Southern Ante-Bellum Policies.?The ife insurance companies which did a large pusiness at the South before the war, find that ;he recent decision of the United States Supreme Court on the forfeiture question is of ramediate practical importance to them as veil as of great significance to the business jenerally. This decision, it will be remempered, was to the effect that, where the paynent of premiums was rendered impossible, py the breaking out of the rebellion, the asmred can recover from the company the imount of reserve at the time when this first jayment became due and was not paid, together with interest. Demands upon companies for the payment of these reserves and interest have become alarmingly numerous in the South since this decision. None of them ire now resisted, and in the aggregate, a very considerable amount of money will thus be iisbursed. At the outbreak of the war insu-ance companies having Southern risks congratulated themselves upon their good fortune ,n having the reserves on those risks thus suddenly released to them, and all of them appropriated the money, without dreamiug that i,hey would ever be called upon to return it. Df course, in a laage number, probably in a majority, of the cases of insurance no demand will ever be made upon the companies for a return of the reserves. If the policy-holder died subsequent to his unavoidable failure to pay his premium, his heirs at-law, and not the beneficiary named in the policy, can recover the reserve and interest. Southern papers would confer a benefit upon many old policyholders or heirs of deceased policy-holders, throughout their section, who may not have heard of the decision, by informing them of the above facts. Philadelphia North American.. Skif Dairymen from several Northern States write the New York Tribune a simple method of preventing a milch cow from kioking, to wit: Pass a rope, cord, strap or surcingle tightly around her body, just in front of the udder and hips, take your pail in band and ?o to work. "Suke will never lift a foot." Let up on the bandage gradually at each milking, and after awhile it need be only laid across her back to prevent her kicking. Heading fat the $afrfoatlt. CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.] FAITH. If we are to judge of the importance of a Scripture doctrine, by the frequency that we find it taught, none ia more important than that of faith. Unless it be the existence and attributes of a Supreme Being, no subject is so often mentioned iu the Bible as faith. This plainly shows that what ever notions men may entertain concerning faith, God regards it of vital importance in the scheme of salvation. It is not difficult to understand what is meant by faith in the Bible ; still it is exceedingly easy to make a mistake with regard to its import. It is sometimes said that faith is belief in testimony. It is true that belief in testimony is one element of faith ; but there * U/vl?r?r rtnrl of! I 1 MA Oflninn lliay uc uoiici iu tcouiuuuj auu otm uu o??iug faith. In other wordB, an individual may believe that there is one God and only one. He may believe that there are three persons in the God-head?the Father, Son and Holy Ghost; that these three are equal in power and glory. He may believe that Jesus Christ is the Saviour of sinners, and the only Saviour. He may believe that the Bible is the word of God?that it is every word true ; that its history is true, its promises are true, its threatenings are true; that all that it relates as having taken place did take place, and that all that it predicts will, at the appointed time, take place. An individual may believe all this, and more too, and still be destitute of saving faith. He can not, however, have saving faith without believing these things ; but he may believe all that has been mentioned and still have no saving faith. Again. Some affirm that saving faith is believing that we will be saved. This is not true. Such foolishness is never taught in any shape or form in the Bible. According to the teachings of the Scripture, our believing that we will be saved has nothing to do with ; saving faith ; it is no part of it. An mdividj ual may believe he will be saved and never ! be saved. On the other hand, an individual may have great doubts and fears about his salvation, aud still have saving faith and be saved. Many who think they will be saved, will find out, when it is too late, that they have never believed, and will be lost forever. There is no place in the Scripture, that we remember, in which God commands, exhorts, or entreats us to believe that we will be saved. When God commands all to believe, he surely does not mean that all must believe that they will be saved. Such a scheme would obviate the necessity of an atonement for sin, and would, in reality, be commanding multitudes to believe what their senses teach them is false. If believing that we will be saved is saving faith, what need have we of a Saviour ? For what did Christ die? Those who are justified by faith, have peace with God ; but the source of that peace is not believing that they will be saved. What, then, is saving faith ? It is, we answer, the gift of God. There are, no doubt, some who will be disposed to deny this, and say that every one is the author of his own faith. The individual who takes this view of the subject will get himself into a difficulty, out of which he can not get with satisfaction. He will have to rebut the plain declarations of God's word and the teachings of his own common sense. If faith is not a creature of God, it is self-existent; for the power to create belongs to God alone. Faith cannot be self-existent, for, so far as we know, God alone is self-existent. If any one says that faith is a part of man's nature, this does not make it self-existent; for man's nature is the creature VI uuu, Faith is, however, a part of that creation which takes place in accordance with the plan of redemption by which we are said to be made new creatures in Christ Jesus. God originally endowed man with the capability to exercise faith ; hut in the fall, man lost that capability. One of the gifts or graces which God bestowed on man when he was created, was faith. It was not saving faith, for what is not lost cannot be saved. Still, whatever may be the essence and object of saving faith, that was the essence and object of that faith with which man was originally endowed. The first endowment was a gift of God, and so is and must be the last. Whatever man possessed before the fall, was a gift bestowed upon him by his maker and redeemer. As a God of grace, God bestows a multitude of gifts. On some individuals he bestows more than he does on others. There are some gifts that are absolutely necessary in order to salvation. Hence these gifts aVe onninn nfoooo nf trifla Tn fVio Serin. UAIIV^U OUf IUg MVVW| V* AM VMV >vw.?|/ tures, we are told that Jesus Christ was raised up to give repentance. We are thus taught to call repentance a gift, and it is a saving gift; for without it, there is no salvation. That gift which God bestows upon us, and which is called faith, is the power of the soul to cease to trust in itself and to put its trust in Jesus Christ. The end for which this trust is reposed in Christ, is the glory of God and the salvation of the soul. The power to believe is the gift of God ; the exercising of the power is the work of the individual upon whom the power has been bestowed. A number of words and phrases are used in the Scriptures to explain or illustrate what is meant by faith. To believe in Christ, is to accept him as a saviour; to confide in him as a saviour; to trust in him as a saviour; to rest on him for salvation ; to take him as the portion of our souls; and many other similar and easily understood expressions. It should be remembered that the object of faith, is Christ Jesus, as he is revealed to us in the Scriptures. It is not trusting in God as revealed to us in creation or providence, but trusting in God, our saviour or redeemer, as revealed to us in the Bible. In neither creation nor providence, i<? God revealed to j us as a redeemer. In the Scriptures he is revealed to us as a God of creation, providence ; and grace. Hence, without a knowledge of : God as he is revealed to us in the Bible, there ! can be no saving faith. I In his goodness and mercy, God has given to us in the Bible a complete revelation of the j whole scheme of redemption. The Holy Spirit quickens the soul dead in tresspasses and sins, and enlightens the mind that it may j , see its lost condition and the way of recovery I ; provided by the Son of God. Accepting of j ; this plan of recovery is believing; neglecting ; . or rejecting it is unbelief. He that believeth I shall be saved, whilst he that believeth not, being already condemned, will ultimately be j eternally lost. The simple fact that faith is absolutely necessary to salvation, should act as an inceni tive to all to believe in Christ. "Come to | me," is the invitation which is made by him j who died to save sinners. "Whosoever com- ; eth to me, I will in no wise cast out," is the j gracious encouragement which is given to all to come. There is not one single member of j Adam's race, dead or alive, who can say, "I i went to Jesus and he thrust me away from him." On the contrary, the charge which Je-' sua brings against unbelievers is, "ye will nipt j come to me that ye may have life." Coming j to Jesus and believing in Jesus, are the same I thing. V ' I G.
