THE PROFESSOR PIPE. Just relumed from addressing an audience ol MelbOdiat friends here In Jamestown. Tbe subject was consecration to God, ,uo re served aod complete, touoblng tbe whole moo. We arged saoctiScatloo as heartily as Ibe greet Wesley ever did. We told ibctn that tbe babltual wrong-doing of any kiod wee In direct csnflict with all acceptable prayer for tbie spiritual attainment. Brethren.' we Inquired, 'how are yon daily employed?' Are you-manufacturing, sell ng, or using tobacco? Are you patronizing deadly drugs and drinks, and swelling tb( curse or Intemperance? If so, we beg you to change your course. You live In known sin, and your prayers for "the higher life'' are worse than naeless; for tbty are an abomination at God'i throne. Renounce every wrong practice, and eve'ry suspicions one, and then you may pray for saoqiiDoa- tion consistently, and Jwlth a better grace.
