U<-member that at the very outset,
tbe hope of beholding the resufte of
bis mtsaton was almost denied tbe
prophet Exckiel. Tbe Lord said- to
him : “I send thee to tbe children of
Israel: they arc impudent children,
and stiff necked. 1 do send thee
unto them, and thou shall say unto
them, Thus afiith tbe Lord God.
And they, »bet her they will bear,
or whether they will forbear* (for
they are a rebellious people,) yet
•hall know there hath lieeu a prophet
among them.” Neither did tbe Lord
send the (wophel Isaiah to behold
the fruits of his labors, for be charged
him : “Make the heart of this jieople
fat, sod make their ears heavy, and
shot their eyes.” Tbe aervant of
God should not keep in view the
result, but the holiness of God. Isa
iah did not behold a converted Israel,
but be saw the seraphim*, and be
beard one say unto another: “Holy,
bol\, holy, is the land of hosts, aud
tbe whole earth is full of his glory.”
Even Jesus himself did not behold a
converted Israel, fur Israel delivered
him to the heathens, and cried:

served is vacant, and has been for
some time, althongh strenuous efforts
have been made to obtain a pastor.
One coaid have been had, but it was
objected by a majority of the saints
that his family was too large. We
read in the Bible: “Lo, children are
an heritage of the Lord.” The mem

right to snch an heritage. We think
they wonld call Herod a benefactor,
if the children 1>e caused to be slain
