Chrijsts Legacy. ? ^ When Christ was about to dephH to liis Father he left to hi? sorrowing disciples a legacy and not to them only but to all who believd'on his namo. it was not $uch a legacy as tho wo*ld ?ives. It was not wealth so eagerly le.jirftd by the expectant legatees, aikI jo aiton the cause of hitter dissensions imong them. It was no titlo honor xmong men, no right to exercise lordship over any. It was peace, his own peace?'peace 1 leave with you, my peace T give urtto you ; not as the world giveth, give I uuto you. Tho poace which the world gives is 1 false peace. Itisapoaco which is hollow and insecure. It is easily destroyed. Lot trouble^comc and it is disturbed ; let death come, and it is destroyed. The poace which Christ gives Is tirni and lasting. It is the peaco of jbxl, a peace resting on the principles it tho divine government," and hende is stable as those. princplCs. It is peace with _^God. ThereC is reconcillidfcon with Grbd. The enmity to God ia taken iway. Tho indignation of God toward he ainnor is at end.

It is peace with map, for the lovo of Christ ias been shed abroad in tho heart, removing every root of bitterness and in unity. It is the peaco of Christ for it tvas purchased by him and given by am, and will be preserved by him to ill eternity. This pence has with propriety bcbri termed a legacy because it becomes )Hrs only through means of Christ1? loath. But for his glorious atoncin^it, .ve have novcr known tiM* peace. place of it, ttyere wonla havc?b^en iternal war lfi the soul and eternal var with tho principles of the devine jovprnmeint.

We can afford to have he enmity of tho wicked, if need be, for the peace of God which passcth all: understanding is more than a sufficient! recompense for nil tlio evil thev ma}' occasion us. We can afford to be burJened by the carfc? incident to this world, it they cannot disturb a single prop which supports onr peace with Gk>cl. Wo need not fear to go down into the vally of the shadow of death, if our peace there shall be as a river. If wo have this peace we should at all time3 an\ in all circumstances manifest the spirit of peace. lie who should receive a legacy of million! of dollars should exhibit a spirit of pecuniary liberty : much moro should he who has received Christa legacy manifest the spirit of peace.
