OF THE °KRISTIAN'S LIFE. The aged servant of God who, in the seventy first Psalm reviews the experiences of his life froth his birth, is filled with wonder at the mani festations of diving Providence with which, they, abound. And as s he names The simile fact of his birth as one of these providences,we are jus tified in believing, with Tholuok, that he Aloes not refer only to 'extraordinary manifestations of the hand of Goa ; his eye of faith regard's the-or dinary works and dealings of God to , him as won derful. And that spiritual-minded commentator , . . presses the'inquiry: "Is not the reason of 'our finding so littla to praise, to ,be sought in our having no eyes for God's daily . miraeles?.. The Psalmist, , he adds;has eyes. or the . daily miracles of the Lord-:-' -and therefore''3l:Muth is full of the praise pf the Lord." Editor.
