When that remedy is used and the treat- ment as directed with each bottle is fol lowed, a cure is certain. Mr. A. W.

There is undoubtedly a large class of persons included among the general pro- fesgors ot Christianity who are mistaken in their views of conversion.

They admire Christiani- ty as a pure, benevolent religion, undoubt- edly the best in the world, but as to any change of heart under its influence, or any spiritual experience of its renovating power, they deem it fanaticism. Some of these consider that conversion means nothing more than simply giving their as- sent to Christianity of perceiving that the Gospel attests itself to be a divine re- ligion. If theyshow it a decent external respect and submission, have been bap- tized into the name of Christ and edu- cated in a belief of his religion; they con- ceive that there is not any other kind of conversion which can be required of them, They would restrict the use of the term conversion to those who having previously been heathens embrace the r¢- ligion of the Gospel, or to such as had been infidels or grossly vicious characters and have renounced their evil courses. Jesus Christ and his apostles urged the necessity of conversion upon many in- dividuals who were of fair religious rep- utation and were esteemed among the most devout, so far as an outward ob- servance of forms and ceremonies can go. The whole of our 8aviour’s ministry among the Jews proceeded upon this im- portant principle that mere forms, privi- leges, professions or ordinances did nei- ther constitute nor evince that kind of piety which he required and for the pro- + | motion of which he enforced the doctrine of conversion. The case of Paul before conversion was precisely that of a person firmly be- lieving in the authority of revelation, zealous for the religious law of his fath- ers and strictly conformed to the cere- monies of his religion, and that a divine one, and yet he was undoubtedly an un- Now, this case seems to make it certain that the mere profession of judaism was. not true piety nor a state of conversion and that it is therefore just as possible for a pro- fessed Christian to be in an unconverted state asifor a professional Jew. . July 2nd, 1892. Prima DONNA. Midland, Va. After a two month's drouth we had a good rain again, last week, which helped the corn, oats, etc., very much.
