Our mortal life isriot one 1 continuous whole/ but is broken by tbe grtet ordinances of nature, into times and seasons, dhys and years. It ex aetlj suits tie peculiarities of our'oonsti.t'ution to have these frequent.opportunities of eloaipg/up the past and beginning anbwi' £fo it is in the Christian life. Not only its’ buf its progressive spirit/its of, adaptation to new circumstances and' the chupgpa going on in the world which opposes it,icall for!, ular renewals for which the Ordinances of God’s house so well provide. ' ! *" : "' "- Even to perfect, .devotion, such re, newed acts of consecration would be appropriate: and delightful, but’thfey cOUld* rtot be Useful in such circumstances,! as they are in the life of the consciously itnperfeet Ghri&tiaUi ; With pain he confesses it, and etf'ery year WMs life, however long he rUay. live/makes it plainer to him, that he falls below his standard, that ;he wanders from the path. He finds a law that when .he would do good evil is present with him. > It is not a con trolling law; it has 'not dominion' over him, or he would nover hayb consecrated himself at first; but it is a troublesome law, a .powerful law,—, the law of remaining, corruption within bim. There is a higher the laW of graoe that really forms and cOhtrdls hfe I, deepest desires. And it is in obedience |his law that his heart responds to the solemn ordinances 6f the Church, whioh,froiu time to time summon him to the renewal of' his srpcaticih!, 1 Tfie keen sense of a personal'fioifi, upon his Saviour has declined; the. nerve-forces :of .his' Spiritual-life has diminished; a Whrldly chill has crept over his heart; Gethsemane an'd Calyary are words without a charm to t|ie dally flow pfihis emotions,; lie has lost a sight of the nohiljtyfof . his, vocaf liis ear, filled with the' din' of bargains, the' chink of money, the blast of ambition'strump, or the rustle of gay dresses and' the flatteries of foolish admiration. ' OritmaybeundOr a cloud of worldly disappointments, uaderthe insdp portable pressure of daily cares, under thb mani fold infirmities of sickness or of- old age,'the ■ - 1 —■> ->“> . ■< promises of God are forgotten or discredited, and gloom and despondency darken our d'dily path. We have been guilty of inconsistencies our sins of omission, if no morej been a positive injury to the cause of Christ £ been almost as salt that has lost its savor in a world perishing from need of the preserving in fluence of living, active*' aggressive iGhrfcrtiiitiity, We know it, we feel it, we deplore it. Our con sciences, our Bibles, our: secret and scores of faithful sermons of it. We do not consent tb itj --W6 delight inithe law of God after the inward man., And so we are prepared thankfully and profitably to rise those opportunities of reconsecration afforded by the ordinance of the Supper, as divine and gracious concessions, to-our jHj arrange ments adapted to the tentative . bharactor jo‘f,pur Christian progress, as so many recurring chances to begin over again almost'from the 'first, wfirerf we may actually forget,past progress and past failures, and reach jorth to those things wbichj are before. It is a rare comfort and encourage ment to be able to begin as it were anew at each communion season; ,to join, f with those who take the vows for the first time, now so fa- miliar to us, an'| jet we so littje advanced be yond them. Down from any pedestal of fancied superiority over these babes in Christ we .come ; we sit with them in the same lowly attitude at thp Saviour's feet. We have sins of inconsis tency to bewajl which they know nothing of ah yet. W® ara at least as glj»d, and t(9 ipuch;en couraged in sharing the pulsations of, their new Christian life, «s they are to feel themselves: sur rounded by 'experienced Christians' than they. And so Op,Very much of a level, we all make a fresh sferii, n<?w view? of the crpss, and new delivefannenfcom, .burdens, in the pil r grim way.
