RISTORIOAL ADDRESS. [The following was read at a meeting of the Bradford County Teachers' Association, held at Orwell, by Dr. t. P. Com-nri The three townships of which I am to- speak, viz : Orwell, Windham and Warren, are bounded as follows : On the north by the State of New York, on the east by Susquehanna county, ou the south by Pike, Herrick and Rome, and on the west by Litchfield, containing about 108 square miles. The surface is very uneven, still there is but a small . portion that is not susceptible of cultivation. • The timber is prin&ipally hemlock, birch, beech and maple, but in some locali ties, cherry, whitewood, basswood; pipe, and white and black ash are found. The soil is principally gravel and loan). The streams which drain the wa ters to, the Susquehanna rise here. They at•o the Apalachin, the north branch of the Wyalusing, the Wysox, and the Wappasuning. They afford good water power for running ma chinery on a small scale. The soil produces very good crops when properly tilled, but winter grain is quite subject to winter-kill, except the first. crop. They consist of wheat, rye, oats, barley, corn, potatoes, grass and flux. The farmers, of course, raise good cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, but as yet the expense and 'in convenience of marketing their pro duce is-a serious hindrance to their prosperity; but notwithstanding that, the energy and untiring perseverance of the inhabitants have brought them to a state of independence scarcely exceeded by their more fortunate ne4hbors who settled along the val ley of the Susquehanna. Before these lion-hearted men the forests bare disappeared and given place to broad meadOws of grass and extensive fields of grain ; and now, instead of the forest.:resounding with the axman's blows; is heard the click of the mow ing machine and the rumbling of the thresher. 187122 Previous to 1798, the territory which is now known as Orwell, Wind, ham and Warren, - was an unbroken-, wilderness, inhabited by a very few Indians and the wild beasts which roamed unrestrained over the hills and through the valleys, iu search of the food which the God of Nature had furnished for them without any care or forethought on their part. In 1798, James Bowen Wm. Ar nold, Mr. Harding and Mr. Gibson, came into what is now called War ren, but then it was called Martell, and made a clearing on the south branch of the Wappasuning creek, at a place called for many years "Ahe old clearing." But they ascertained that they were not on the tract of land that they designed to settle on, and after .obtaining the first abandoned it and went farther north to a place which has been known ever since as " &men Hollow," where James Bowen built a grist mill on the Middle'branch of the aforenien tioned stream. In the spring of 1800, Ebenezer Coburn, and his brother, Jonathan Cobttin,-and their sons, came from Coninkticut and bought under Con neCticut title 23,040 acres of land, ,and made a clearing .on the same farm where Ebenezer, Jonathan, and and their sons—at least some of them, viz : Ebenezer's sons, Parly, Ebenezer, Amos, Andrew, Nehemiah, and Jonathan's son, George—lived , te -Tf()l' l of:;' . .FA 1 ‘,l F.'', • ' • • z•'• • 1 is- ;,.••1 MEM =IRE ;, • ErliMil I 1 • ind'aied:' 'Atte ihree years' they-learned that thbir title to land Tras good for' nothing ' e iif you bon, tho effeot•that it idiot have had tilt thenitia 'how 'thiiitheirine; ney 'was t3lent and theix antielpations at once dashed `to` the - earth, and they left here n si viildernessEiof lilmosetat- limited extent: Withott Money, with but land, and almost with Out nOiSarten bf expotted not , only to thepriyationt andltarkhipa of pio neer life, but to -- Inthleed attacks of wild beam' I think that men of less =fair and eneraWcitild have quail ed Underr‘snehffiale j.

In 'the spring .of 1801; Ebenezer Colinna and family; Jonathan Coburn and family, and Clement Corbin and family, moved from Connecticut to the new settlement in Martell-;4fter ward Warren—where they found James Bowen, Wm. Arnold, Mr. Fair banks and Gibson, with their families, who had moved in the sea son before and made clearings in the previously unbroken wilderness. The :wild beasts 'of the forest supplied them with meat; and they lard the whole .country on the Susquehanna river from Wysoz to Binghamton un-, der contribution.for their bread, and at times found a scanty supply there; and the difficulty of obtaining it we who have roads and horses and wa gons can have no adequate idea of. One of the first settlers of Windham told me that a comrade .and himself carried four bushels of wheat on horse back over two "hundred miles to get it ground, and Seneca Allyn, who is now living in Warren, says-..he went with e horse to the Wysox fiats, thence up the river to Owego, before he could find any grain that he could buy; and he bought two bushels of wheat, put it into a skiff because there was no' way to get his horse across the river. He then took the grain on his shoulders and carried it two and a-half miles to get it ground, then shouldered it again and brought it back to the river, where - his horse was left fasting for the very good rea son that he could get nothing for him to eat. By this t' e Old Sol had re tired behind the • . tern hills, and left Owego—which wi • then a village of one house and g store—as well as the mill, lying hi total darkness. How, then, to get home, which was at least 13 miles distant and no road except marked trees; was the ques tion which would have puzzled a phi losopher; but there was no time or place for philosophizing and imme diate action was required ; so the young hero put the bags on the horse and started down the river. After traveling about a mile he came to a house Where he put up for the night, got a sheaf of oats for his horse, and went to bed supperless. Morpheus soon had him in her sweet embrace, from which he was not released until Old Sol, as if ashamed of the abrupt manner in which he left our hero, be gan to send his golden rays athwart the eastern horizon, as much as to ' say, " I will now help you out of your trouble "-; and Allyn, taking the hint, arose and started, but not quite nn derstaudiug the directions about the path; entered the wrong one, and af ter traveling two or three miles, came to the end of it, and there was no al ternative but to right-about-face and retrace his steps, which he did, and by the time he reached the house where . he stayed, the demands of his stomach for food were too imperious to be longer disreg arded, and he call ed for breakfast a nd obtained a small piece of johnny-cake and some milk which was soon disposed of, and he started again for home where he ar rived in safety that day, having, how ever, called at Amos 'Coburn's, where he was cordially received and quick ly supplied with food for himself and horse ; and he thinks now it Was the sweetest meal he ever ate in his life. During Inc summer - or fall of 1800, the first white child was born in War ren—a son of Janies Bowen—and named Harry ; and a few weeks . la ter Benedict Arnold was born ; and August 10, 1801, A. S. Coburn, son of Party Coburn, was born. In 1801 there were 14 taxables, viz : Ar nold,-J. Bowen, Henry Billings, Eb enezer Coburn, Party Coburn, Jona than Coburn, Moses Coburn, Jr, Amos Coburn, Pason Corbin; Thos. Gibson, Ebenezer Lee, Roswell Lee. In 1802 James Bowen built a 'grist mill on the middle branch of the Wap pasmiing. creek, near the center of Warren, the' materials for Which were furnished by the landholders, Baron & Ives. In 1803 Win: Arnold and Mr. Harding'went to "Sheshequin to buy meat and bought 100 pounds of pork, divided it equally and started for home. Snow having fallen to some depth and no track, Mr'. Ilar ditg being the weaker man; failed when not far froth where Potterville now is, and Mr. 'Arnold left him to get help ; but when help came they found him a . stiffened corpse. k At this time they had to go to Owe go to have shoes set on their horses. In 1807 B. Leo taught the first school. First death of an adult by disease was Thede Corbin. About this time missionariee visited the set tlement, hunting up the lost cheep of the house of Israel. Among these self-sacrificing men were Rev. Wood ward, Rev. Seth Williston, Rev. Kingsbury, Rev. Hill, Rev. Treat, Rev. Bascom, Rev. West, and per haps some others, and the .zeal and' perseverance with which they laber r ed in their Master's. Mille, I think might well be held up as an example for the ministers of the present day. And the untiring'energy,exhibited by the people in collecting together to hiar the gospel, from miles around, , on foot or on ox-sleds, without roads, . or through the mud, in little log ca bins, is a standiegreprootto us, their descendants, for the indifference with , which we treat the preaching of .the I gospel and the means of grace. In. . the Coburn settlement they establish , ed and kept a reading meeting, as it , was called, for years before there was a man among-them who could pray in publie. They obtained a prayer book and used that. They were far from being Episcopalians. Oh ! hOle vivid are my recollections ' 77 r. • ' -1 MUNE .:.

'As ,there is such similarity at the muniF time and under the same cir- cumatances, I will not weary you with the repetition of what I have said of Warren, but simply say that Truman Johnson, Asahel Johnson, Major Wells, Theron Darling, Frisbie, Francis Marsuson, J.

Log huts have disappeared, and commodious, comfortable houses have been erected on their sites. Hovels to capaciods barns, which are filled with hay and grain, horses and cows. Stone walls and good ' rail fences, where log and slosh fences were the divisions between farms and lots. Neither did those noblemen neg lect to cultivate the intellectual, mor al and religious faculties -Tof them selves and their families, en. I find that a Miss Clarissa Woodruff taught school in Orwell in 180 and Laura Frisbie a year or two afterward, and as early as 1807-8 Roswell Lee taught a school in Warren. In 1805, A. S. Coburn was sent to Orwell to Miss Frisbie, and he thought at the close, of three months it was hard because he eould'not stay and play a week with Mr. Frisbie's boys ; so you Secs' boys were fond of play then as well as now. I think there were no school-honses until some time afterward, but the schools taught in part of the dwel ling-houses. I will describe one of the school-houses in those days, when they were built. It was built of huge logs laid up cob-house fashion, so high that it would ,be About six feet between floors. The floors were laid down loose, BO that the scholars might take up a board to obtain whatever they dropped through the cracks. The crevices between the logs were chinked with pieces of wood fitted for that purpolle, and then an abundance of mud was spread on to make them tight The fire-place was from four to six feet long, and about the same height, with large flat stones set up on the edge for the jambe, and the mantel-piece was of wood, which would frequently take fire in cold weather. Many a time have I been `sent to get snow to put it out. • The desks were made by boring in the logs and putting in pins for the shelf to lie on. The seats were made - of slabs, with pegs put in for legs. They used to be furnished with a cross legged table 'and a borrowed chair, or none at aIL Thus fitted out we were ready for a teacher, and they would not employ one unless he could read, write and cipher'es fir as reduction. Allow me to contrast the present with the past in this respect • Then there were perhaps 20 scholars in the three townships—now there are 900. Then there were two jog school-houses— now there are 34, most of them good, convenient, comfortable framitd and painted houses. Then the teachers were not required to understand grammar, geography or. philosophy, and a very limited knowledge of arith metic was sufficient. Now the teach er is required by lair to have a thor ough knowledge of theft' all, and be able., to explain the principles on which - they are based. Then the school-books were limited in quanti ty and inferior in quality—now they are plenty and of a.superior quality. Then there were no tract societies, temperance societies; bible societies, or any charitable institutions. Now we have then} all. ' Then they had no houses of worship—now they have tolerably well finished houses dedi-,' aged to the worship of God. Then there was but very little, if any, preaching—nOW they have more or lea religious service every week, land • about ten preachers of the- gospel. Then they had no Babbath-schools— now there is one in almost every neighborhood. The following de nominations are represented i namely: Prest7terian, Methodist Episcopal and Wesleyan Methodist, Baptist, Free-will .

' I will recapitulate :1816, Congre gational church: organized with 14 members, Of whom 8 lived in War ren and 6" in °rive% '.with Rev.. S. King,. pastor. 1822, there visa's re vival In:Warren, and 43 persons join ed the church,. Soon after this the &MTh was divided, but Mr. King continued to preach in both church es. 1836, they numbered 112 ; in 1846,. 135 ; in .1858, 90 ; 1868, 55. At n very early day a Ik4ptist godly was formed in Warren, of which I could ;lett find:a member or hardly a trace. They were called Old School, and by some "iron-sided " Baptists. I was told that a lady now living pre sented herself for examination with a view of uniting with that church, and the questions propounded to her the following : "Do you believe im mersion is the only mode of bap tism?" "Yee." "Do you believe it is right to belong to 'a missionary so ciety?'`' " Yes." "Do you believe in tract societies, temperance societies, abolition Fixietiek Sunday-schools, or any other , benevolent society ex cept the church?" to which she gave affirmative answers, and the minister then said. "We do not want you." I have been thus particular with this case to show you that progress is the watchword of christians, and especi- ally bf the Baptists. In 1844 a New Schbol Baptist elnirch was organized at Nit arren Centre of 28 members"; in 185 there were 90 ; 1860; Ift3, and in 868 there were 115 members. They have a flourishing Sunday schobl of from 50 to 100 scholars. InlB4l a Free Baptist church was organized at Warren Centre of nine members ; 1852, 39 ;-1168, 57. They also sustain a good Sunday-school, and both churches- hawk permanent ministers laboring with fhem; and it is but just to say that they exert a very salutary influence for the good of the - community. The M.E. Church have two classes in Warren. I oh- Value i 11,148 76,156 81,979 91,594 146,550 209,464 tained the record of but one, which was formed in 1850, 37 members ; in 1860 there were 25 and 1868, 33 mem- 24,928 32,867 61,187 ® 102,980 • - 113,860 187,83.5 bers ; and I believe the other class is'• as large or larger. I have made considerable effort to obtain similar 'statistics—but have not succeededfrom Orwell and Windham. I will say, however, that from the information which I could obtain, I am convinced . that progress and improvement is the Motto of the inhabitants, as it was. of their fathers and grandfathers, in agricultural, in tellectual, moral and religious . sci ences. 8,877 FXEZI ird2l M2l 112,980 177,166 It would perhipa have pleased some better if I bad tom you how Parly Coburn and his wife went 2:5 miles on horseback, having but one horse, to' attend a wedding or 'that Amos built the first framed house in Warren and had - the first house . warming," and all the/good people in Martell—some •on/foot, some - on horSeback and some - On oz-sleds—al.- tended, and how they "fiipped the light fantastic-. toe ;;,' or how they we'it to pal . ties in store troughs drawni ; by oxeb, and,a, thousand ,sources of enjoyment Which we can no more ap preciate now than they could 'our sources of amusement the present day then. I will now just refer to the incon veniencee in cases of sickness in the new settlements. In 1800 Ebenezer Coburn was attacked with fever, and they had no bed but borrowed Mrs. Bowen's. She, however, was soon taken sick, and the bed must be re turned. They then look the sick - man on a horse and carried him to. Mr. Frisbie's, in Orwell, about 8 miles. Parly„ Coburn then - went to Tiog,a Point fiir a doctor, and.asihe record has it, the doctor came anct gave him some physic and he felt better. He recovered, and the settlers enjoyed good_degree of health till 1814. Then came au epidemic fever which threat ened to sweep off the . whole colony. It was very difficult to obtain medi- cal assistance. At Binghamton was Dr. Lusk, 25 miles ; .itt Owego was Dr. Waldo, 12 miles ; at Wa.ppasun-: ing Corners was Dr. Gonialiel Bar stow ; at Tioga Point was Dr. Hits- ton ; at the mouth of Wysos creek was Dr. Warner, and up the creek about four miles was - Dr. Seth T. Bar stow, and no toads to either place, and there were not well persons to care for the sick. Ebenezer Coburn, Jonathan Coburn, George Coburn, Jacob Allyn, George Pendleton, John Pendleton, Mr. Spaulding and wife, Mrs. Bowen and Mrs. Tripp died:.. Thenthere was no unusual sickness --at least no epidemic—until the winter of 1824-5, when Amos Co burn's family were visited with fever, and Amos Coburn and his wife, his daughter and adopted son, and Par ly Coburn's wife, died. These were the most fearful epidemics. I think, that ever visited these townships. I think it may be called atealthy coun try. • T. have thus hastily run over, in a very imperfect manner, the history of these three townships, and I leave this sketch, imperfect as it is, hoping that something may be gleaned from it which may instruct and interest those who may hate an opportunity to pew • THE thus ' commei to call the " d 4 jat thii change is to be we do not even con jecture; but we see in the heavens themselves some traces of the de structive elements, and some indica tions of their power.

"I think George Bronson ,, is just as mean as he can be, - and I hate him; so one exclaimed Charley Fisk, one day, rushing ..into • his mother's room and throWing his cap at poor pussy, who was startled out of a snug nap?: " Hate is a pretty strong word," said his mother, looking up from her work. • "I know it is, but if I could find• something stronger I would use it ri "Do tell me what las happened _o turn my-pleasant-looking boy in / t,tim ugly little bear ?" said Mrs. Fisk ":It must be quite dreadful, lam tire."

Lion. "No one respects a boy just. be cause he is big ? " said his mother. "Do you suppose people admire one of Grandpa's oxen more than they do Grandpa himself, Who does good from morning till night?" " Oh, no," said Charley, laughing. " And yet Grandpa. isn't half so large." " Well," said Charley, 3 ' there's no thing good in George Bronson.; and I can tell you that a good thrashing once in a while is just what he needs. It would bring down, his conceit , little." "There is a very funny thini, Charley; which I have often noticed," said' his mother. , ." And it Is this: . if we do a kindness for another, we al ways find something good in Aliat urson, and generally . get to likipg "You mean that hegets to liking us for doing the. kindness. I should think he had bette;" said Charley. " No, I mean that we like him bet- ter," replied his mother. "It. is a beautiful fact that . a lthnd act' draws mien kind feeling, arid opens our eyes to virtues where we thought there were none." '" I can hardly believe that," said. Charley, 'doubtfully shaking his head. " Try it and see," said his mother. —But now we must get ready for tea. Go give your face and head good . ducking in cold water, and see if it does "not take out a few of those ugly wrinkles. -Then Re will go and have the first strawberries of the sea son." The next day, when school-time drew near, Charley put on his ;hat, and, stutlina-his pockets full of ap ples, started off, whistling in the merriest in/tuner possible. He walk ed along, thinking how glad he was that vacation was coming- so soon, and that he should then go to Grand-. pa's, where he always hid such.fun,' wondering whether that poor little squirrel who broke his - leg last sum mer was well again and lived in the Same tree, and whether his coil had grown Much. . • : These thoughts were - suddenly checked by a sight • which nearly made heart stop beating. Direct-' ly before him in the road. came &run ;away horse, his ears laid: back, and altogether looking as if he Were . wild. He was harnessed to a wagon; and, oh! how it rattled along the road, bouncing up and down • over the stones, and nearly ,thrOwing. out at every.lurch a poor little boy aittipg in it, whose face was white with ter ror. " Jupiter!" exclaimed Charley, as the frightened creature. came nearer to him, "it's George Bronson, as true as I'm a living boy. He will get kill ed for certain. What shall Ido ?" " Where is all your boasted strength?" asked something_ in him. - "But I might get killed," said Charley; though as soon as the thought was out he felt ashamed of it. So ho gave hiinself -11-good shake; and picked up a long piece of. board, which had become detaChed from the fence, and rushed out into the road, brandishing. it with all his might and shouting at the top of his voice. Of course, the frightened horse could not hear him, for he was making such a noise himself; but he ea* the brave Me figure marching straight along, and looking so determined to stop him that he begiin to think per haps he had better rest awhile, or he might get a . bloW froin that big stick," which would make him feel uncom fortable; So be broke into a trot, then into a walk, and then stopped altogether, and looked at Charley as to say, "What business _had you to get in my way in this *Won?" Bnt Charley,. patted him, called him "poor fellow;" and it last the hOrse became so calm that be allowed himself to be led up to the fence and tied there. " Now," said Charley, I must go and see what has become of George." EMI .;,' 44. i .:1 4 , 4 -ir4A„ - . ( - Ini- - 4? ,i? ! tt: 4:.f. .., ._. TIM gain =MEM Ell 1104 tierAxtruguri A4lVance.

Of comae, George could net hear him becsise he had fainted; but it made it' seem more sociable, to talk, so Zharley kept ' his tongue going as fast as he mad. " Howlers is nay Cap hill of war , ter," he spid, running back again, all. ont.of breath. -Hold on a minute, while I take the peanuts out of my handkerchief; and then •I will -wring it out so, and inithkyour face. .Tnatki what : I have seen mother do -when Aunt Penny goes off this way.

'nodded and smiled at him, and looked so cheery that it must have been a pleasant sight to greet the poor little sufferer when he came back to life again. "Where aril asked George in a feeble voice. "In this world, fortunately; and you, may thank your luck that you afe.;; - I did_ not think that you would be here long when I •saw you flying don'n the road behind old Kick-up hitileels; at the , rate of nobody knows . how • many • miles a . minute 'Gracious 1 - Now. you are off. again 1 T ought to have had the sense not to have said" such a thing just as you were coming back." - But / George had i only closed his, eyes because he was tired.'

You jump into the wagon. and I will lead old Runaway by', the 'bridie, in case he should take it into his head to .strrt off again. There, now you are all right. Come ailing, Old horse,_ and show us how well yon .can gehave. - So they went on-, chatting all the way, till I,they came to the house where George lived. Then Charley helped him out carefully, telling him he had better lie down till he was rested, and that be would bring him up a book to' read that afternoon. " Gharley," said George, " I used to call you a bully; and I ask your pardon. I thinh you are the bravest boy I ever saw. Will you shake hands and be friends ?" " Oh, bosh!" said Charley. There's nothing brave about me. - But I'll take back all I ever said about, your being- a prig ; and all that; and, 'pon my word, I believe I ;do like you, though." , / 1 "Mother," said Char -, when he had arrived home and shed tell ing4her the adventure, " guess you were right, yesterday, after all. I think- George Bronson is a mighty nice fellow." ' If you boys and girli shake your heads in unbelief, as Charley shook his at his mother's words, try the same experiment that he did, and see what the result will be. 'old Bishop Taylor .says: "Marriage has in it less—of beauty than, a - single life; but more of safety.. It is more meiry, -- but also more sad. It is fuller of joys, but also of sor rows: It lies under more .burdens; hut is supported by the strength of love, so that these burdens_ become delightful." Sornethin. , like that, then, is to be expected in the very ;mature of things. It is to -be found, as the shadows cast by the truest .and purest BOA that ever shines in a home. The sweetest wife that ever lived has said things to her husband scores of times that she would not allow.any human being to say abon him.; or once for all that third person must.hear a piece of her mind ; if' it were in a prayer meeting; and the truest husband will now and then makelis will,laiown to his wife in 'tones so imperious that,_ if he, heard another utter them tplhe same woman, it would bring him leaping like a .lebpard at the scoundrel who &red to speak'so to the mother, of his children.—Rer.

Faith, however vigorous its exercise in the heart of a belie.ver, is yet 'not the positive reality but only the evidence of things unseen end but hoped for; and, against it, things seen and tem poral are arrayed in a sensible and present power,'antagonistic and overwhelming. and God's method of strengthening the, faith, 'till the unseen becomes more than an equi poise - for the sensible—is not, by bringing out the things of eternity in positive and visible splendor in heaven; but by beclouding, and so weakening, the rival glories' of time. ' Just as, in the material universe; it is not by making the heavenly really more lustrous, but only by bringing night over the earthly, that God brings out the stars. Here is, a man—may be ' called a Christian4-whose ea.ith k r life is full of gladness and glory:. his dwelling is a palace; his name is a. power in the landli language; fair and fond children love him; honorable nien honor him; no Corroding sorrow tor tures his heart; no insatiate -ambi tion embitters hislife-spring; a happg, and a joyous mau he is on the earth. Now, though this man may be called a Christian, he is not ready to die. So rich and fair in its coloring falls around him this massive curtain of things temporal, that ergo. the re vealed lustros of Eternity shine lint faintly through; and, if the fire-car that came 'for Enoch and -lijah should descend visibly to his portal,, ob ! it would be almost with the ie- coil of a breaking heart that he look ed the last on his princely p igpssess ns and said "farewell" to his be loved household. . But now, in the contrast, look you- der. In that cold and comfortless hovel lives a poor and friendless man. Poor and friendless through no fault ef his own'; for, to the le of God's angels,jthat hoary head is a crown of glory. 'Writ from plenty and gladness God's 'mysterious providence has stricken him as with 'a thunderbolt. His, too, were• once a princely home And stately children, that would have shed thiir heart's blood as water de" . a father so honored should have been thus left in want., But, alas! they are nown the grave. And with no hand to guard, and no eye to watch, he is friendless and alone. But conic near and talk with him if you would' learn the mighty power of sorrow 10 - sanctify.. "Al ! My old - friend; this is,a hard lot of yours, is it not ?" "Hard ! hard ! Oh, no, no !" he says. "It is enough for the.. disciple' that he be.as his lraster, and my- blessed, Redeemer had not whereon to lay His head. Y and it will be over soon. A littirlonger and the desert will be crossed, and then the' Ca naan !" " And so you are thinking of heaven, and are willing to depart?'

I am 'homesick for glory! Come, come, Oonie Lord Jesus, come quickly! Yes, yes, my brethren, it 'is thus God sanctifies—he takes away the earthly that the heart may rise to the heav enly. He ,tearii the bark from its mortal moorings, that it may launch forth toward the eternal haven. He stirs up the nest of the slumbrous eagle, thet, with exulting pinion; it may Soar to the sun. This, this is the grilcious mystery of true heavenly .mindedness! It was when surrounded by enemies, thirsting for his blood; that:Stephen saw! heaven open! It was in the depth of the Agean poverty . and ex ile that John beheld. the glory of the sweeping trains along the golden streets of the City of- Holiness! It was upon the red sands of the Ro man arena, when weighed down with fetters and faint with lonely impris onment, and surrounded by infuriat ed heathen and wild beaits of the amphitheatre, that the voice of Paul rang out, with the exeltatkni of more than a conquerer—enraptured- with the good fight he had fought, ind the crown of, glory thenceforth laid up for him. .! Yes,. my brethren, this desire to depart and be with Christ is a crown ing grace that • grows not, like the palm-tree in the green valleys, where rejoicing pilgrima pitch tent in the wilderness,'but rather, like God's great cedars, it needs the sweep of the hurricane and the icy rocks of Mt. Lebanon.
