??'.:. Ia the simple announcement of my
^^||text^ I belief? I have touched a chord
gc'- that fin?8 a responsive echo in the
|fet ''.hearts of many of you. .
In4his Scripture, Paul does what
. T are afraid to do-he
?^^I^?b open the curtains that veil his
bosom, and-bids Bftiook io upon the bat?
tle-field of his heart, and behold the
lip^wring powere witrhin.
I haye brought forth this Scripture
for our consideration fer two reasons :
^ "? first, because there are so many whom
Satan has beguiled into believing that
: to be a Christian is to be perfect and sin
%???g?- lesa ; second because there are some good
"^5.y Christians whose repeated falls have led
them greatly to despair of salvation at
Ig^Sflk--. The moatnful pkiat is:
' - **I would but cae?otsi?g;
I would but cannot pray ;
v>For Satan meets me when I try,
jgS^'Vc f : .^Ahd XrightaJary ?WII away."
In'order best to appreciate the text,
l?^eVns- first ask, Who made we of these
r^^\yw?rdsf, This_ question is important, f
Ipl^Ottered -.by the lips of some men, they
l^^ouWmean comparatively little. All
;<his confession of ?n from ooe like Judas*
^onldnnly meet our expectation; but
^passing strange-; they are found in
jj:;" ^?u?* letter to the Kornaus. Se
f^^wT?tes'them about himself, ft is Paul's
*own heart ho is describing. It is Paul j
lip-* that says *(> -wretched man ! the good i
pl|f -'which' I would, I do not, but the evil j
? -which I weald not, that I practice/ Yes j
it was Paul. A. man whose affectioos !
Christianity had so enlarged as to enable !
-him to love all men. To prove this,
-read the beginning and end of alibis
'5: .Epistles. His words are models often*
^ ?eraessand affection. They show that
?0? ^Christianity bad taken complete hold
of all bia natural feeling. A man
whose attainments io spiritual knowl?
edge have doubtless^ never beenequal
. lcd. Behold the great doctrines of God
g.':;> that come rolling forth from his mind ! j
He seems tc have been God's especial
friend, and. th ese sublime, er haast less
utterances are the natural offspring of
bis brain. A man whose love to Jesus
gave bim an ambitious seal that sea re ly
|*f% continent could contain, that a deep
-y^^ces, with its minds and storms, could
not check, and that knew no abatement
till, in devotion to his principles and
calling, he laid down and died beneath
'--. the shadows of Rome. A man whose
. Christian courage was not shaken by
P?? the prison, rack nor rod ; that led him,
f stoned and bleeding, from one city that j
rejected him to preaeh the same Gospel j
of love, to another, bearing about in his j
body the marks of the Lord Jesus.' i
A man whose Christianity had impart?
ed to him a pious patriotism such as is
seldom found among men ; a patriotism
:;. such as caused him to exclaim, 'I could
wish myself accursed from Christ for my
brethren ;' i. e., so intensely did bede
sire the salvation of the Jews, that he j
was . almost willing to give up bis j
hope in Jesus, if by doing so, their sal- j
xvatioa might be obtained. A man
wnosedesire todo no harm begot with?
in him an unexampled spirit of self
denial, for says he, *If by eating
meat I cause my brother to offend, I
.will eat no meat while the world;
stands/ A man whose peculiar love for j
Jesus caused him to weep when others !
sinned; for be wrote to the Philippians j
*Many walk of whom I told you often, j
and now tell yon, even, weeping, they j
are the enemies of the cross of Christ.* ?
A man against whom all the writers j
of the world for nineteen centuries!
have never preferred and substau- i
.tiated a single just charge ; a roan :
whose character is 'without shame ?
and without reproach;' and who, i
though he is dead, is as much loved and 1
honored by mankind as any. one who !
ever lived; a man who better than any j
Other man, could be compared by the i
poets to
"-Some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, J
Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the j
storm,
Though round its breast the rolling clouds !
are spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head."
INow after considering the sublime i
character of such a Christian let us go i
back to our text. Hear it : 4 What I j
do, I do not approve of ; for what Ii
would, that I do not; but what I bate j
that I do. For I know that in me I
(that is in roy flesh) there dwells no good j
thing O Wretched man ! who shall de- j
Kver me out of the body of this death ? i
This is the lacgaage of God's faithful j
servant Paul th? great worker, the utfex- i
: an>p?ed Christi? o and if Paul could say j
^^gj?B^r-nay, if be were forced to say, this, ?
bow just a ground for you ?nd me to
say infinitely more. Yea, where shall
we find words to express the depth of
oar sin and evil?
Now we are prepared to advance a
step farther, and ask? What is the
meaning of the text?
1. We learn that in one person there
dwell two spirits-two sets of conflict?
ing desires. These dwell in every
man, and are the gift of God. In the
unregenerate man the evil spirit pre?
dominates-more, however, in some men
than in others. At conversion, the
better spirit is strengthened by God's
Spirit, and though th? evil spirit f e
mains at war with tb* other as ever,
yet God strengthens the better, so that
in the long run it is victorious. And
that there are two spirits in man is not
only the teaching of the Bible ; but
amost all men find it to be true from
their common experience. The an?
cients also discovered it. In Xenophon
Wc read of Araspes who said : Surely I
must have two souls ; fer certainly it is
not one and the same which is both
evil and good.' So also in Ovid we
read : 'I desire one thing ; my mind
persuades me to do another. I see the
good, and approve of it, and yet follow
after the evil.'
I So then Paul describes himself as
| having two distinct natures operating
within him. One he calls spiritual,
the other fleshly. With his spiritual
man he serves God, with his carnal
man, sin.
2. One of these spirits desires to do
good ; the other evil. One delights in
the law of God, the other despises it.
One desires to be free from sin, the
other desires to be enslaved. Thus these
spirits war against one another ; for
sa'ys be, 'I see another law in my mem?
bers, warring against the law of my
mind/
3. The evil spirit leads thc good one
to sin. Now the Scriptures say 'If a
man sin wilfully after he has received a
knowledge of the truth, there remains
no more sacrifice for sin. 'So then
when a Christian sins, it is not wilfully.
The good spirit rebels strenuously,
and never yields till overcome oiy^e
jacked. But you ask, if GodV/spirit
. ??riTa tKerArisdan'si goo?Lspi?f cannot
the two always overcome the evil ?
Tanswer, Yes, this is possible: but
God has willed it to be otherwise, and I
shall show you after awhile that there is a
great wisdom in this arrangement. It
makes Christians more humble. Again
if Christians knew no sin, this world
would be heaven to them ; and though
Satan is subdued auder us, God bas
not yet bound him in chains that he
should never molest us.
4. Thus, wheo Paul feels his imper?
fections, comparing himself with the
just and good law of God which com?
mands him to love God with all hissoul,
mind, ?nd strength, he is compelled to
utter his cry of mourning, O Wretched
man that I am !' From us too is the
same cry forced. ; I come to preach, sin
follows me to the pulpit ; I kneel to pray,
sin kneels beside* me ; I read the Scrip?
tures sin dances over the page ; I try
to sing, sin's deep base voice joins in ; I
give an alms, ein mocks my pride. Sin is
ever with me. Who can help crying, 40
Wretched man that I am ?' and hence
the Scriptures say, 'We that are in the
tabernacle do groan, being hardened.'
5. But this mourning is soon turned
to rejoicing when Paul looks away from
himself to Jesus ; for no sooner is he
driven to the corner eying, 'Wretched
man that I am' no sooner is he at his
last human extremity than be cries, 'I
thank God through Jesus Christ our
Lord,' for (he intimates) what I cannot
do, God will do for me. And in v. 26,
be seems to console himself with the
thought that, though a part of his na?
ture was God's and a part Satan's, yet
the best part-the truly valuable part
was God's, and in ch. viii, v, 1, he leaps
to the conclusion that this part would in
the end fare well, for, says he, exuUaotly,
'There is therefore now no condemnation
to them that are in C'brist Jesus.'
[2b be continued.]
Had an Eye on Him.
?That young Brown bas become a
Christian, has he?' So said one busi?
ness man to another.
'Yes I heard so.'
.Well, I'll have my eye on him to
see if he holds out. I want a trusty
young man in my store. They are bard
to find. If this is the real thing with
him he will be just' the man I
want. I've kept my eye on him ever
since ? beard of it. I'm watching him
closely.'
So young Brown went in and out the
store and up and down the street. He
mixed with his old associates, and all
the time Mr. Todd had an eye on him.
He watched how the young man bore the
sneer of being 'one of the saints ;' if
he stood up manfully for his new Mas?
ter and was not afraid to show bis col?
ors. Although Mr. Todd took rides,
went to church, or did what he pleased
on Sabbath, he was very glad to see
that Brown rested on the Lord's day,
and hallowed it. Though the Wednes?
day evening bell never drew the mer?
chant ?o the prayer-meeting he watched
to see # Brown passed by. Sometimes
he said : 'Where are you going,
Brown T and always received the
pronjpt answer : *To prayer-meetiug.'
Brown's father and his teacher weie
both questioned as to how the lad was
getting on.
For a year or more Todd's eyes were
on Brown. Then he said to himself:
'He'll do. He is a real Christian. I
can trust him. I can afford to pay him.
He shall have a good place in my
store.'
Thus, young Christian, others watch
to see if y ou are true ; if you will do for
places of trust. The world has its cold cal?
culating eye on you.to see if your religion
is real, or if you are just ready to turn
back. The Master's loving eye is on
you also. He sees not the missteps
alone but also the earnest wish to please
Him. He, too, has places of trust. The
work is pleasant aud the pay good.
These places may be for you when,
through His strength you have proved
yourself true.
Fix your eye on Him and He will
keep you in the way.-Congregational?
ist.
If you desire to be greut and good
and efficient in God's cause, or iu auy
good work, make thc most of the capi?
tal io hand. Develop and train and
prune yourself. The glory of mauhood
is its royal kingship over the realm
of self. Make the kingdom of your own
soul glorious, and real greatness will
come to you.
The faults of Christians arc watchtd
with mere rigid scrutiny than their vir?
tues^ hence the importance of sustain?
ing an unblemished character.
Nearer My God Thee.
Dr. Payson thus beautifully illus?
trates the relation of various classes of
Christians to Christ. He conceives
them as ranged in concentric circles
around the radiant form of our Imman?
uel:
'Some value the preseuce of their
Saviour so highly that they cannot bear
to be at any remove from Him. Even
their work they will bring up and do
it in the light of his countenance, and
while engaged in it will be seen con?
stantly raising their eyes to' Him as if
fearful of, losing one beam of His light.
Others, who to be sure would not be
content to live out of his presence, are
yee less wholly absorbed by it than
these, and may be seen a little further
off engaged here and there in their
various callings, their eyes generally
upon their work, but often looking up
to the light which they love. ? third
class beyond these, but yet within the
life-giving rays, includes a doubtful
multitude, many of whom are so much
engaged in their worldly schemes that
they may be standing sidewise to Christ
looking mostly the other way, and only
now and then turning their faces toward
the light.

Self-sacrifice.
The enthusiasm of genius has been
like the rainbow, made ont of mingled
tears and sunshine, and the true order
of nobility among men has been com?
posed of those unselfish natures whose
love laid life as a daily sacrifice on the
altar. If w? examine the eleventh
.chapter of Hebrews, ?lid from that
down through all the peerage of noble
souls who have adorned humanity, and
*of whom the world was not worthy,'
we shall find that each one had receiv?
ed the fiery baptism of self-sacrifice as
preliminary to their exaltation.
It may be a mystery to us, that the
most princely lives must be immolated
for the sake of others, but that it is the
^Pioxe..excellent way,' and that it tends
to ennoble man^rSjjW assured by the
fact that Cbrt8tianity"??SSuT>^
ration and the Hope of the worla^iSTT
religion of self-abnegation. Its sym?
bol is a cross,: and its testimony is that
only they who yield up their lives for oth?
ers shall 'find them.'-C. H. Everest.
Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origiD
is within ; its manifestations without. Hence,
to cure the the disease the cause mast be re?
moved, und in no other way ean a cure ever
be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY
AND LIVER CURE is established on just
this principle. It realizes that
95 Per Cent.
of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys
and liver, and it strikes at once at the root of
the difSculty. Tbe elements of which it is
composed act directly ?pon these great organ8,
both as a food and restorer, and, by placing
them in a healthy condition, drive disease
and pain from the system.
For the innnmerable troubles caused by un?
healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs;
for the distiessing Disorders of Women ; for
Malaria, and for physical derangements gen?
erally, this great remedy has no equal. Be?
