The, o ongion,o4 the business of this day
cannot fail 4 to' awaken the deepest interest
and joy in , the-beartoof all present. There
are not in theiviiiit *Od; three things more
precious and interesting thin the three here

and the Shorter Catechism. The first tiro
are the gracious- and '-hiiidy-:-Work-lof God;

four thousand years ago, and was continued in
the Church, with various changes of form and
periods of intermission, (the longest of which
was about four hundred years, from Malachi
to Matthew,) until the completion of, the
gew Testament, about the year of our Lord
ninety-six. This completed the canon of
Scripture. From this time the Spirit of
inspiration ceased in the world. It was no
longer necessary, for the obvious reason that
the volume of Revelation, now finished, con
tains all that is needful or profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and
for instruction in righteousness." Man's
sinsonan's ignorance, and man's enemies,
can give rise to no want that is not here sup-
plied; no knowledge that is not contained
here. For historic interest ,and touching
narrative; for_ classic elegance, philosophic
truth • for Sublime imagery and moving
poetry; fot excellent, wholesome moral teach

give rise to grave and solemn consideratiOns..
This' loVely season of youth passing away;
will - soon be gone; may suddenly cease in ;
":death...:They are liable astray. ,They
are surrounded; by 'cruel andmurderoueftes.
The snares spread for their ruin are hid; the
very poison of death is concealed. Their
,inexperience and unsuspectingness, create
alarm. They may be ruined by artifice
,
misled by enchantment.
Besides, they are .all fallen, sinful and
Sinning. In them the seeds of death al
ready exist. They are, by nature, children
of-wrath. --Their-immortal souls may never
live in immortal youth' and life.- Theseltlippy
hearts, may know no happiness in the maid
to come. These,rovely faces may, be all black
,and dismal with siespair and remorse. These
loved ones, so:cherished In our heart of
hearts, may never enter 'heaven, to dwell
`amid its glories. How painful the thought I
Let them live.! 0 Jeans;. Saviour, let theui
live andirt no wise perish! is the prayer of
every heart. - ,
The Bible speaks of the young and to the
young. It speaks of them as thosefor whom
Christ Jesus died; who may, with believing

of guidance and defence. And moreover it
says, "'of such is the kingdom of heaven." -
',What a bleated saying. Theyi• will constitute
s large , portion of the redeemed; And a
most:. interesting and delightful.' portion.
Mhat would heaven be without the innocent
happy, winning face of infancy ; the smiling,
cheering face of phildhood. If none but,
thefaces of the ; full grown and aged .were
''tobe looked upon, there, would : ,. there not
seem tobes great Want: of ''pleasing attrao

of heaven; even now, to many a;bereaved
heart;, are-the, dear children who are there.
And,forever and ever.tb.ey will he soureea of
joy to the.hosts of the redeemed.
But the:Bible Speaks also• to children and

Revelation is not's sealed book to our ail

Now,,in imparting religionsinstruution to
the_young, we are greatly aided by the *Mc
cessfulnabors of obody , of as wise r and. great,
and good maa4 l ,gykr;aaaambled on \earth,
since the 'days'-'of'llthe-ApOstles; viz., the.
Westminster. Assembly.. of Divines, who''
formed' our Confession' of Faith, and Larger
and . Shorter Catechisms: In the year 1641
application was made to Parliament for the
Calling of .' a general Synod , of , the " most
grave, pious, learned`and judicious :Divines
of 'theland, with some from ,foreign parts,.
who may consider things necessity 'tor the
, peace and good government of - the Church.'!. ,
An ordinance to. this effect was passed, bear

Catechism. What a noble toil has been en
dured, and what a blessed reward 1 Never
did children get a better gift. Never did
your children occupy a more, honorable posi
tion.
Good Dr. Harris wrote three wills, in each
of them was written, as the invariable first
legacy, I bequOath to each of my children
and children's children, a Bible, with this
written inscription, "None but Christ."
Here you witness this testamentary wish ful
filled to yOur children and others, while you
are the yet litoing executors to lend° your
counsel and. influence to make it all •the more
profitable. Theis is great wisdom in. select
ing the Bible where gifts' are to be made
and rewards offered,:espeeially,to the young,
as it is thereby imore 'deeply embedded in
their pleasant memories and :lasting .affee-
flops.

the, ivorld,,witk all the good, and. wise,- and
active,,:, and: faithful men they will need.
Then we must .never forget ..the , of
that, wise , man, ‘f Ifs We AvOuldlilrre good men,
alllmust have good children." God requires
that, we should train; TIP eiiii4ren in ,the, way '

; Here : is ; a , most profound ~and important
moral lesson. If we would have .our chit
, dren wive, and. strong,. and eminent Chris
tians, we must not, only early bind, them to
Christ, by oath , and promise, but. as ; early
train them to ,actual service. Let,them be
as familiar with. he duties as the doctrines
of religion, , ,Teach them ,diligently, "`what
they L ate to beli eve concerning God, and
what duties God requires of ; man," but as
well and as Ailigently, tench them to tree

In this way,`: and only in this way, may we

Let your prayers go with these Bibles,
and this training in the Catechism, that the
Church may have a strong and numerous
body, of working men from these yOuths.

a' handsome reward, and here it is. You

repay you. The Bible is worth, to you,
more thawits bulk' in gold; yea more than
mines, and mountains of gold. Already it•
has blessed you, or you would have been the
ignorant endwrretched children of wretched,
and perhapseruel heathen parents. Already
it has blessed you that you are not outcasts ,
neglected degraded and despised. Already
it has blesiedjou, in that political lil erty,.

Evening Parties.
One of the 'most difficult questions - that
comes before Christian parents, is how to
conduct those social re-unions; 'commonly
called evening parties, which-constitute no
unimportant part of the amenities of civil
ized life.
~ Shall the worldly type of such parties ; be
adopted, and cards, drinking and dancing
(all, of course, in moderation), be -intro
duced? We answer—no ! Snobamuse
ments are clearly inconsistent with ilie'pro
fession whinli.the
. ohristian makes, and' to
engage in them wog!' .be to concede ev ery
thing to the world.; The 'gayest and most
careless about religions nititterb care uomOre.
