(ftiy, and with It a new division of
time commences.
New Year's day belongs to the
World. It is usually devoted to the
payment of debts, settlement of ac
ebnnts, pleasures, and good re sol n
lion*.
The payment of debts and the
settlement of account* on some af
fixed day is an admirable custom.
Short settlements make long friend
ships. Debts left unpaid year after
yWur become at last so heavy that
tie most substantial men break down
Under them. TTnpald debts are no
egeeptiin to the maxim : It is a bad
rkfe' which does notWmrk both way a
unpaid hreag bnth debtors
creditors, and ytt, for all that,
a had role for every man not to
wiipe out his indebtedness at least
ohee a year. John Randolph's gold
en rule is still better: ‘‘Pay as yon
go.” Every Christian follows, of
course, the apostolic law: “Owe no
than anything.”
We live in an age which may not
improperly be termed the age of
pinchbeck. The world is raid to be
improving, and tbe progress mode In
oUr day is indeed wonderful. Men
liVed better and longer than in past
ages, knowledge is increasing, edu
ration is general, man and mankind
have been elevated, bnt the progress
is intellectual and material, and not
ikHgfoos and spiritnal.
The present is the age of pinch-
bbdr. It has the form bat not tbe
reality of troth. 8ham is the order
of the day. Religion consists ih for
mality. Ritualism takes the place
of spirituality. Pride tramples upon
humility. The rich have temples,
gorgeously and luxuriously appoint
ed, paid choirs, praise not God, but
the congregation, ther preachers de
liver essays on every theme but
that of repentance; and the poor
Iflree dot tie gospel preached onto
tfeft, because they lack style—are
not fashionably dressed, and tbe
pew fint is too high. Men make
long prayers and devour widows'
houses; men are dishonest both
Godward and maoward ; they even
lie unto each other and onto God.
Many read the church paper and
refuse to pay their subscription.

foretells, saying; “This know afso,

Many wow call themselves chris

truths uf the religion ot Jesus Christ.
The turning of Christ, tbe resume
tion of the body, the Anal judgment,
and eternal condemnation are held
by sneh would-be Christians not to
be taught iu tbe word of God; and
the tauaagueuoa is that tiny “hate
knowledge,” and do “not choose the
four of the Lord;” and “therefore,

Now let u* examine these objectors
ami their objections. Those who
make the first objection, I have found
in my own experience, and from the
experience of others, never give any
tiling, or so little that it is uotbiug ;
and this proves that the real objec
tion ia that the preseuct* of the box

tlieir stiugiuese every time they see
it, but'uoi having the honesty to ad
mit this, they huut what seems to be
tbe most plausible objection, aud to
make it appear, if possible, that they
make a large contribution at ouce to
the Lord's cause. Ho the objection
is a mere shatu, and a dishonest pit-
text Those who say, i( you tax us
by this system,” are not the poor who
have only :t little and that little hard
lo give. No, they are the rich iu this
world’s goods, aud their real objec
tion to the sy stem ia, if they were
chriatian enough to own it, that by
giving often they will have to give
for more than they are 1rilling to give.
1. Now both of these objections,
and all others to this scriptural sys
tem, prove a sad lack of true piety,
and the presence of the deadly influ

apostle says is idolatry.” And idola

know there are some who use the ob

long aud eloquent and loud prayers;
still such are destitute of the grace

nothing of the spirit of our blessed
