He Heard Too Much.?Lewis Gay lord
Clark, the editor of the Knickerbocker Magazine,
used to tell the following story with
great delight:
Some two miles np the river from St. |
Johnsbury, Vermont, is a primitive sort of a
little village called "The Centre." Here, not 1
long since, the rustic youth of the vicinity
congregated to dance, "and dance they did,"
said our iuformant, "with an unction unknown 1
to your city belles and beaux." One interesting
man, having imbibed too freely, became
"fatigued" in the course of the evening,
and wisely concluded to retire for a short
rest. 4
A door ajar near the dancing hall reveaiea ,
invitingly a glimpse of a comfortable bed, of
which he took possession, with the prospect
of an undisturbed "snooze."
It happened howbeit, that this was the
"ladies' withdrawing room," and no sooner
bad he closed his eyes than a pair of blooming
damsels came in and began adjusting
their disordered ringlets, the dim light of the
tallow candle not disclosing the tenant of the
bed. The girls had tongues (like most of
their "sex" which ran this wise:
"What a nice dance we're having! Have
you heard anybody say anything about me,
Jane ?"
"Law, yes, Sally. Jim Brown says he
never saw you look so handsome as you do
to-night. Have you heard anybody say anything
about me?"
"About you ! Why, sartin. I heard Joe
Flint tell Sam Jones that you were the pret
tiest dressed girl in the room."
Whereupon the dear things chuckled and
"fixed up" a little more, and made off toward
the ball-room. They had hardly reached the
door, when our half conscious friend raised
himself on his elbow, and quite intelligibly,
though slowly inquired :
"Have you heard anybody say anything
about me, gals ?"
Home Again.?A son of Maine who went
vv est 111 eany youtn, ana nas mere aiutmea
wealth and an honorable position, returned
last summer to visit his old home. At the
village store he saw an old man whom he had
known in his younger days. He accosted
him, but was not recognized. "So you don't
remember me," he said: "I am John R."
" You I" exclaimed the old man ; "you don't
mean to tell me that you are John R. ?" "I
certainly am," said the visitor, shaking him
by the hand, "and I'm very glad to see you
again." "Well," persisted the old man, "I
never did. To think that this is you. They
tell me you've grown awful rich, John."
John admitted that he had "saved something."
"And they say you're the president of a railroad,
and get a big salary." Again John
had to admit that rumor spoke truth. "I'm
glad on it, John! I'm glad on it, my boy!.
It beats all what earcumstancee and cheek will
do for a man."
A Court Convulsed.?We have seldom
heard of an instance of more beautiful simplicity
than was evinced by a matter-of-fact
witness on a recent riot trial case.
"What were the mob doing when you first
saw them ?" was one of the questions asked
bv the district attorney.

"Singing!" exclaimed the public prosecutor;
"what were they singing about ?"
"I don't know, I'm sure; but they were
singin', anyhow."
"Well, what'was it? What were they
singing? What did they seem to be talking
about ?"
"Wal, as far as I re collect," replied the
witness, "they was singin' about a man o'
the name o' Tucker, whose refused to come to
his tea!"
Mind-Reading.?Before she could utter
the "Where have you been till this hour of
the morning, anyhow ?" which was trembling
on her lips, be says, "Bin t'ther roind-readin';
bet you seven dollars I can read your
mind this very minnit." "Well, you old
fool, what am I thinking of now ?" she said,
in a tone of sadness. "Thinkin' of! Why,
I can read yer mind like ther open pages of
'er book ; yer thinkin' I'm drunken 'r a biled
v owl, but yer never was worse fooled in yer
life." She only said that there must be something
in mind-reading, after all, for he had
hit the nail square on the head.
A Mineral Flavor.?The other day a
Newark man who went to his well to draw
. a pail of water found that it had a strong
mineral flavor. A chemist analyzed it, and
iounu 11 to contain excellent, uieuiciuai pi uperties.
The neighbors came in, drank some,
and smacked their lips with a gusto. It was a
big thing, and no mistake, said the proprietor.
Alas! a day or two later it was discovered
that one of the vats in a patent leather factory
was leaking, and the fellows who had
been taking a dozen glasses every morning
for their health are now talking of bringing
suits for damages against the well-man.
* ? *
Within One.?On a certain occasion, before
the poet Saxe had emigrated from Vermont,
a gentleman was quoting an opinion of
the Governor of that State on some political
question, as if it were conclusive. "Pshaw !
who cares for the Governor?" said the tall
poet._ "A Governor is no great affair; I
once came within one of being a Governor
J1 myself." "What!" exclaimed the other, who
^ knew that Saxe was defeated by an immense
majority. "What do you mean by one?"
"The candidate of the other party," was the
answer.
A Distinguished Man.?One of the secretaries
of a missionary society, a distinguished
man, was about to preach to a colored congregation,
when he was introduced by the
regular minister of the church, a black man,
in these words: "Now den, brudden, I'se
heah to info'm you dat bruddah Blank is
. .1 TT 1
gwine to preacn to you to aay. ne is ae
secretary of de missionary society, a distinguished
an' a eloquent man?in fact, my
bruddun, he is a soundin' brass an' a tinklin'
cynrbal."
Faith and Work.?"The Lord will provide"
is an excellent motto, but "The Lord
helps those who help themselves" is equally
good. The patriot who sits all day in the
sun on a dry-goods box before the village
store, whittling, and talking 'bout last 'lection,
though he have all the faith in the
world, mustn't expect to go home to supper
and find quail and buttered toast waiting for
him when he gets there.
Sorry.?A man broke a chair over his
wife's head. When he got to jail and the
chaplain undertook to talk to him he displayed
a good deal of penitence. He said he
was very sorry he had permitted his anger to
obtain the mastery over him, and to suffer j
him to do such an act, because it was a good
chair, one of those good old-fashioned Windsor
chairs which was an heirloom in his family,
and he ki^ew he never could replace it.
A Good Reason.?Two lawyers in Lowell j
returning from court, the other day, one said
to the other, "I've a notion to join Rev. Mr.
's church ; been debating the matter for i
some time. What do you think of it?"}
"Wouldn't do it," said the other. "Well,
why ?" "Because it could do you no possible
good, while it would be a great injury to i
the church."
Indian Wit.?Here is a specimen of|
Indian wit, from the diary of elder Adams, i
A landlord asked an Indian a copper more
for rum in the spring t:han the fall before.
The Indian inquired the reason. "It costs me
as much to keep a hogshead of rum over j
winter as a horse." Indian?"He won't eat
as much hay. Maybe he drink as much
water."
A lazy fellow once declared that he |
couldn't find bread for his family. "Nor I," I
replied an industrious mechanic, "I am
obliged to work for it." j

GREENYILLE FEDERAL COURT.
The following is the presentment of the
grand jury for the August term of the United
States Court for the Western District of South
Carolina, the Hon. George S. Bryan, District
Judge, presiding:
The grand jury, after discharging the various
duties which have devolved upon them
during the present term of the court, beg
leave to submit:
We congratulate your Honor and the country
upon the great reduction in the number
and degree of offences against the laws of the
United States, now committed within the
jurisdiction of this Court, and of which it has
cognizance, which can eventuate in an increase
of peace and prosperity to the citizens
and a timely reduction of the expenses of this
deDartment of the General Government.
We would record our approbation of the
recent act of Congress, the beneficent operation
of which has been witnessed for the first
time in this Court during the present terra,
viz: of the defendants being allowed to testify
in their own behalf, thus affording juries
all the light which can be attained upon
every case while allowing them discretion
to attach such weight as they deem proper to
the evidence. In this connection we deem it
our duty to give expression of approval to
the liberal spirit of influencing the govern-raent
in granting amnesty to violators of the
revenue laws within the borders of this State,
and are happy to add, so far as this grand
jury has information, that it has been met in
a spirit of good faith and appreciation by
those of our fellow-citizens to whom its beneficient
provisions were extended, as evidenced
in this class of our population, no longer
cumbering the dockets of United States Courts
.with repetition of former infractions of the
law, and acting on the dictates of a broad humanity,
of which this act of the government
is felt to be the embodiment. This grand
jury indulges the hope that the wisdom and
patriotism of the National Congress may succeed
in devising such modifications of existing
revenue laws as will subserve the best
interests of the government, without working
undue hardships to any class of our fellow-citizens
; and the United States commis
sioners shall be especially careful, while vigilant
to uphold'the supremacy of law without

withdraw from the productive industries of
the country or subject to the inconvenience
of constant" attendance, and at times protracted
and expensive litigation before United
States Courts, those of our fellow-citizens, only
trenching in matters trivial on the letter, not
the spirit, of the statute, especially where ignorant
of the provisions of the revenue laws
of the country.
We are deeply impressed with the conviction
that the peace and prosperity of this sec
tion of our common country would be greatly
promoted, violations of the law less frequent,
the revenue of the government increased and
the expenses of this courftry greatly reduced,
were the laws for the collection of taxes on
spirits and tobacco siraplihed.
In our opinion the present system is both
complicated and expensive, requiring as it
does a large detective force, which can never
accomplish results commensurate with the
great outlay imposed upon the government.
A simplelaw, imposing a license tax in proportion
to its capacity on every still used
in manufacturing spirits, would, we believe,
bring a larger revenue to the government
and greatly reduce the cost of collection.
The present law, preventing the smallest
farmers from selling their tobacco to any one
except a tobacco manufacturer, imposes a
hardship upon them, of whifch we think they

In view of the fact that this Court, representing
as it does more conspicuously than
any other agency in our midst the National
government, has no building at its command
in which to hold its sessions; in view also of
the growing importance of the city of Greenville,
and the whole section of country com
prising the jurisdiction of this Court, and the
obvious need of a suitable building at this
point, not only for a courthouse, but for a
post-office and other government offices, for
which are now paid heavy rents, with insufficient
accommodations, as the present juries
have severely experienced, we earnestly renew
and repeat the recommendations of former
grand juries, that our senators and representatives
in Congress be requested to urge
the importance of an appropriation for that
purpose upon the General Government at the
earliest nracticable period.
This grand jury cannot close without returning
their thanks to the presiding Judge
for his able and instructive charge and exposition
of the relative duties of citizen and
government at the opening of the present session
of Court.
Our thanks are also due to the other officers
of the Court for uniform official courtesies
extended this grand jury in the discharge of
duties imposed on them by law. All of which
is respectfully submitted.

OUR PHOSPHATES.
It will not be pleasant news to the State
at large to learn that, while prospects are
brightening for most of the other branches of
our trade and industry, the mining of Phosphates,
which had grown to be so important
and valuable an interest in South Carolina,
has suddenly and almost completely ceased.
All the phosphate companies in the neighborhood
of Beaufort and Port Royal, with a
single exception, have suspended operations
and discharged their employees. Of the five
companies engaged in mining phosphates in
Charleston county, three have likewise suspended
work; a fourth, it is said, is on the
point of doing so ; while the fifth is kept at
work completing an unexpired contract, but
will also suspend as soon as existing engagements
shall nave been fulfilled. We are told
that more than two thousand laborers, here
and in Beaufort county, are thus thrown out
of employment.
The cause of this serious industrial calamity
is a cessation of the foreign demand for
phosphate rock. Most of the companies now
have large quantities of rock on hand for
which there is no inquiry. The consequent
tumble in prices has been such as to compel
the companies to suspend work in order to
avoid further loss. The stagnation of trade
in Great Britain, and more especially the
blue prospect for the agricultural interest, is
of course the root of the trouble. A large
phosphate dealer in Bristol, England, writes
to a prominent house in this city : "The season
has been an exceptionally bad one for the
manure trade on this side. Not only have
manufacturers curtailed their purchases of'
raw material, but they are left with large i
stocks of their manufactured manures un-1
sold." There is as little demand at home as ;
abroad for the crude rock. The manufactur- J
ers of fertilizers here have a sufficient stock j
.... UonJ onrl ?V>q "WnrtliDrn mnnnfflptlirprs i
vu uauuj nuu i/uv vuv?u ?
have already contracted for all they care to
buy. The miners find that they cannot make
money on phosphates at 85 per ton, and even
that price cannot now be realized. Some of i
the dealers express the opinion that the large
exports of wheat from this country to Europe j
has had something to do with the cessation of
the demand for phosphate rock on the other
side of the water. They say that if Ameri- j
can wheat can be sold cheaper than the na- j
tive article, the latter will not be grown there,
and consequently fertilizers will not be needed.
The shipments of the rock from Charleston
last year amounted to but 55,000 toDS,
and at this time one company alone is known
to have 75,000 tons on hand. Altogether,
the outlook for our Phosphate interest at this
time is anything but cheering.?News and
Courier.

IMPROVING STOCK.
Opinions differ among men on the improvement
of stock just as widely as on any other
question of importance. Some contend that
it is best to buy in the outset the most improved
breeds, in order to reach the speediest
and-happiest results. This will do for those
who have plenty of the ready cash. But as
this is not the case with farmers generally, we ,
must look for some other method by which
the end desired may be reached and all benefitted.
The trouble with the South generally
is that there is not enough attention paid to
stock. Most every farmer has more or less;
but they are, as a rule, of that character to
warrant no considerable amount of attention
and excite no considerable degree of pride,
and no man who feels no pride in his stock,
will ever prosper in handling it. It is better
to move slowly than not to move at all. Particularly
is this the case with those who are
not entirely prepared to care properly for their
cattle, and who know little about managing
them. It would, in our opinion, be better for
a number of our farmers to club together and
buy one or more improved animals for their
own use. Cross these animals with our common
stock, and the result would be most gratifying.
It is true, they would only be grade
stock, the improvement would be not only
very perceptible, but would add very largely
to the value of the stock. Our observation
has led us to tliis conclusion, and we may say
here,,we have had a good deal of experience
in breeding stock?that for very many purposes
on the farm, grade stock equal those
wliicl\ draw their form from the purest strains.
Pure stock, like everything else, is to be desired
above that which bears the taint of common
blood. We prefer thoroughbred all the
time. But the thoroughbred cow will give no
more milk, nor yield any more butter, nor in
the end make better beef, than the grades. A
great many men who handle stock know very
well, but not all of them will confess, that
there is as much humbuggery about stock
raising as about anything else. We speak advisedly
when we assert that the great secret
at last in possessing fine stock is in glorious
pastures and full corn cribs. It makes no difference
what breed of stock a man may possess,
if he does not feed liberally and carefully
attend to them, they will soon become common
enough. The great difficulty in any enterprise
is to start it. If it gets on its legs once,
and it can stand, it will be apt to walk, and
take care of itself. Now, if some of our enterprising
farmers in every neighborhood would,
{is we have suggested, club together and buy,a
thoroughbred Bull, or Horse, or Boar, or
Buck, the cost would not amount to mucn to
each, and the result would be more than satisfactory.
With good grades carefully attended
and fed from the moment of weaning, the
process towards pure stock may be rapidly
made. By continually crossing pure males
with grades we may, in a few years, with a
little cost, produce stock $ pure, which is
nearly as complete as is attained by most
breeders. Give a stock breeder an animal $
pure, and he will swear that that animal is
thoroughbred and no mistake. Our people
are beginning to learn one important lesson,
viz.: that Georgia is to be re-invigorated by
the introduction of stock?that the day has
arrived for this work, and that with its arrival
enterprising men are preparing for the
harvest by importing and breeding pare stock.

Kindness to Animals.?The Lieutenant
Governor of Michigan, writes the Elmira Husbandman,
concerning the treatment of fractious
animals, embodying the following excellent
ideas:
"I propose to give your readers the benefit
of a discovery that I made long ago, that is not
patented, is free to all, costs nothing, saves
time, annoyonce, irritation, rage, profanity; a
weak and futile effort to subdue by brute force;
in foil co liorcnirofinn mmcrlwl wit.ll Avtrfimft
madness, and finally failure, mortification and
surrender. It is a matter that I have tested
thoroughly in practice, and I have learned that
animals that are treated kindly are not apt to
be vicious or ugly. Treat them kindly always,
young or old; let them know that you will not
hurt them ; and more, teach them that you
are their best friend. It is very easy, and also
a very pleasant thing to do, and if you do it
the chances are that your cows will be kind and
gentle, your steers and oxen, and your colts and
horses will be, also. If it be found that animals
cannot be made useful by kind treatment,
it is best to get rid of them. Treated kindly
from the start they yield to it easily. Professor
Miles, when going round with me to see
my sheep, said:
""What is the matter with your sheep ? They
do not run when they see you ?"
"I could only say, in reply, that they knew
me, and had come to regard me as their best
friend. I should feel that something was
wrong with me if my domestic animals did not
welcome me and appear pleased at my approach."
Curing Clover IIay.?My plan is to start
the mower at two or three o'clock in the afternoon,
after all water has evaporated, and the
heat of the day is passed. Rain or dew will
make clover hay black if it is cured before it
(the rain or dew) falls upon it. ?5y cutting in
the after part of the day the clover does not
cure enough to damage, and as the dew is only
on the top of the hay, it soon dries off. Clover
don't want much sun; if it gets too much the
leaves rattles off, and you have stems. By ten
o'clock start the rake, and by two or three
o'clock set the men to putting it up into cocks.
Don't let it stand two or three days, but turn
it out the next day if the weather is good, and
haul it in. It only wants to remain in the
cock long enough to get hot, and when it is
opened and aired it is ready to be housed. Apply
a little salt while unloading, say sow, as
you would grain, about twice over the stack or
mow, while the load is being taken off. I)o
not get worried if it heats some after being
put away; it will come out bright and sweet
in the spring. Stock prefers well cured clover
hay to the best gilt-edged timothy, and it ought
to be the best judge in such matters. Poor
clover is the wrorst of feed. The great secret
in making good clover hay is to keep it free
from moisture except its own?mold don't
damage it much.?Cor. Rural Sun.
Stacking Clover.?In stacking clover, at
least six quarts of salt should be scattered
through every ton as it is laid up. It is important
that the centre of the stack bottom, where
the rails or poles are laid, should be raised
twelve or fourteen inches higher than the outer
edge. There is nothing in hay making that
pays better than to make a good stack foundation,
especially for clover hay. In building the
stack keep the centre solid and high, and the
outside comparatively loose, and rake down
well. If one desires to ventilate use a sack,
say eighteen inches in diameter and four or five
feet long: fill it with chaff or some light material,
place it upright in the centre on the foundation
of the stack and build around it. As
the stack rises, the sack must be drawn up,
leaving a hole in the centre from bottom to
top, which should be properly capped over to
prevent the rain from getting in. In conclusion,
the writer is prepared to admit that hay
made of grass after the seeds and the stalks
are fully matured, will last longer than that
made as suggested above. Old straw or brush
will last still longer?perhaps longer than the
cattle.?Or. Farm and Fireside.
that jesus loveu sinners, ueuausc nc men iu?
them. 1st John, 3 :16. We know that we love
God if we are willing and anxious to make sacrifices
in behalf of his; cause and people. If
we love the ordinances of God's house, it is an
evidence of conversion. "One thing have I
desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that
I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the
days of my life." Ps. 27:4. It is a hard matter
to keep an unconverted man in the church,
but it is a much harder thing to keep a converted
man out of the church. To the former
the church is a wearisomeness. To the latter
the church and heaven are inseparably associated
in his mind. The last evidence which we
give of conversion, is submission to God's
word and providences. The whole of Christian
duty is expressed by one word, and that
word is obey. On the other hand, disobedience
embraces all sin. The unconverted man disobeys,
as it were, by instinct, while a spirit of
obedience is the characteristic of the converted
man.
We are not to expect perfect obedience.

EYIDENCES OF REGENERATION.
The word Regeneration occurs only twice
in the Bible. This can be no reasonable" ok
jection to its use, provided the thing that is
expressed by it is taught in the Scriptures.
No one will deny that the Scriptures constantly
teach that, by nature, we are dead in trespasses
and sins, and that before we can enter
into communion with (Sod, we must be quickened
into life?must be born again?born?
rather begotteh?from heaven ; born of God,
created anew, made new creatures, new hearts
and new spirits roust be put within us. To
be quickened into life and to be regenerated,
mean, or are designed to mean, the same thing.
ITnw ihpn mov on in/litrirtnol Wnnw that he
has been regenerated and quickened into life ?
Many persons are troubled because they
are unable to specify a particular period when
this event took place. It would be a very
strange thing were it otherwise. God has so
arranged the whole remedial scheme that all
the redeemed must live, while in the flesh, by
faith and not by sejuse. Of the countless
millions of the human family who populate
the globe, no one of them remembers when he
was born into the world. We will not presume
to say that of those who have been
made new creatures, none know the precise
time at which that event took place; but we
will venture to affirm that such cases are so
few, as only to prove exceptions to the general
rule. No doubt there are some persona
who are persuaded, in their own minds, that
they know the very hour that they passed
from death unto life. These persons, we honestly
think, are mistaken. As well might
they say that they know whence the wind
came and whither it goes. Those persons who
claim to be able to fix a date to their regeneration,
are most probably mistaken. This is
one of the many things which God never designed
we should know.
Again, others distress themselves because
they are unable to note any particular period
when a great and marked change took place
within them. They saw no strange sights and
felt no strange eraotiors. They were not
prostrated upon the ground and made speechless
by a wonderful exhibition of Almighty
power. Some persons?how many we do not
Bay?think all are horn into the kingdom ot
grace as was Paul. He saw, at mid-day, a
light from heaven above the brightness of the
sun; he heard a voice saying unto him:
"Why persecutest thou me?" Some think
that they must see the same things and hear
the same things that Paul saw and heard.
Not only bo, but some go so far as to say that
they have had the same experience which
Paul had. Such conclusions are not warranted
from the general tenor of the Scriptures,
and that individual, in this age of the world,
who says, at the time of his being born from
heaven he saw wonderful sights and heard
wonderful voices, is, in this instance, not worthy
of credence. He is either crazy or a monstrous
hypocrite.
The age of miracles is past. Under the Old
Testamen^dispensation, miracles were wrought
for the purpose of proving that, according to
the promise of God, the gospel dispensation
was approaching. In the early age of the
gospel dispensation, miracles were wrought t<f
prove that the gospel dispensation, which had
been promised, had already come. God always
will interpose bin power in behalf of his
people, but there is no evidence that since the
Apostolic age, any miracles have ever been
wrought. Farther, there is no evidence that
regeneration ever was attended with such supernatural
events as to enable the regenerated
individual to mark, with certainty, the day
or hour of his new birth. To this, Paul's
case is not an exception.
Regeneration is the work of the Holy Spirit.
Hence, the Scriptures say that it is being
born of the Spirit. No one knows how the
Spirit acts upon the soul dead in trespasses and
sins, and causes it to live, farther than is revealed
in the Bible. In regeneration the
Holy Spirit gives the power and inclination to
turn from sin. The question is, hovr can we
know that this power has been given to us ?
It may be well to remark in this place, that
we never can know the fact, with that absolute
certainty which will do away with the necessity
of faith and hope. A well grounded
hope is all that we need expect It may be
farther remarked that the evidences cf regeneration
are spiritually discerned. In other
words, they are not discernible by the natural
senses.
If we will examine the process through which
the sinner goes in passing from death to life,
from a state of moral pollution to a state of
glory, we will be able to discover some of the
J -?~ +1 'PKa nfflrn'nnf nnucn

of regeneration is the Holy Spirit?the instrumental

at liberty to say that any one is regenerated by
the Spirit without the use of the instrumental
cause. In other words, where there is no
knowledge, or no proper use made of the Scriptures,
there can be no regeneration of those
who have passed beyond the infantile state.
Do we study God's word ? If so, we are in the
right road. If we do not, we have reason to
fear that we are still dead in our sins. Regeneration
is followed by conversion. The difference
between regeneration and conversion,
seems to be this. In regeneration, a spiritual
change is produced in the inner man. ^In conversion,
the changed soul begins new movements,
which may be called spiritual motions.
In regeneration, life is infused into the dead
bones ; in conversion, the bones, once dry and
dead, begin to move. Wherever there is no regeneration,
there can be no conversion. Where
there is no life, there is no motion, no turning.
Now the evidences of conversion are many.
One is love of God. The language of the converted
soul is, "Whom have I in heaven but
thee ? and there is none upon earth that I desire
besides thee." Ps. 73:25. Another evidence
of conversion is love for God's people.
The whole law is comprehended in love to God
and love to man. It would be a strange thing
if a converted man did not love all other converted
men. The evidences of love are capable
of being discerned 'by the senses. We know
- ' ' i
poor evidence in the case of another. Where
much is given, much is required; and, on the
contrary, where little is given, little is required.

vants of God, are characterized by obedience
and disobedience. They would obey in all
things, but they disobey in many things.
They have a spirit of obedience. With the .
unconverted, the very reverse is true. God is
in none of their thoughts, to render unto him
obedience. The stupid ass and the dull ox
know and obey their master, but unconverted
sinners say, in their hearts, as Pharaoh said to
Moses and Aaron, "Who is the Lord that I
should obey his voice ?"
Now, since conversion always follows regeneration,
and there can be no conversion- where
there is no regeneration, we may conclude that
wherever we find Scriptural signs of conversion,
there are also signs of regeneration. It
may not be amiss to remark that the signs of
conversion are not equally apparent in all
Christians, nor in the same individual at all
times. What would be to one individual good
evidence of a change of heart, would be but
