They must love the cause in which the army is engaged. Christ will have no. mercenary soldiers in his army. It is true, he offers a •large bounty and good wages to those who .will enlist; still, he will reject all who do not. love .the cause. more than they love the bounty and the wages. . They must be able and willing to endure hardness. The soldier Who enlists in the army of his country that he' may have a .pleasent time ,of it, will surely be disap poligted. An AG% campaign is not a pleas ure . hieursi on. Toil,. sel f.d en ial, hardship, dinger, perhaps death, must be expected by everyAne who becomes a soldier. , So with •those who become soldiers of Clitliat. If they enter'the army in Ofder hdie•a s tife of enjoyEhent they will. be als appoi!nted. It is. to be feared that some seek a, religious life for, the sake, of the hap-' pinees whieh attends it.. They shOuld seek td do Christ's will, and leave the matter of dial; happiness to him.

At the feet of Jesus is .a becoming posi tion for him whom almighty power and in fuiite love have subdued and renovated; and it is there the renewed soul 'earnestly desires to remain. He who has ape. rienced the transforming power and thus porting pleasure" of a. Saviour's presence, joyfully seeks a nearness to his person, and_ unhesitatingly . yields 4iimself to his °fon tiol. Life, and posseegioni ' and powers, ails no longer` his- own- but they, too, are laid at the feet.of his ilaster.. He desitei , only to be, with - Jesue. , Fot him to live: is Christ r and, to depart is to •go to be , with Christ. But why abides the restored sinner at the feet of Jesus ? • , 1.

Eitrerly and fondly do we seek a place of 'nearness to those with whom earthly -ties unite , us. With what earnest affection do we look upon their faces, and howsweetly the heart cherishes the sound of their voices: Who has not .felt the intensity Of 'anxious, longino• ' expectation, while awaiting the re tarn of absent friends, and : the jealous love with which their, presence is cher ished ? How unwelcome the hour of sep aration from those whom Wire. lov ingAtitercourse the vibrations-of kindred souls are commingled, and liithouttliscord, swell' their joyous melodiesnto one earnest, ardent, and harmonious strain.. If we, so delight in a nearness to, the ob . jects of human affection, how should it, be with regard to Him .to r *hom ,the soul' is bound in ties the moek,tender, joyous, and vital, of which life is capable . ; Rim who is altogether lovely, who is, possessed, of infinite excellence and boundless worth. 18 it woaderful that we linger near to ; Aim who so loved us as4o giye,his life to save us from death--Itim• who, hi the peace, the joy, the hope, the life of our souls ? . 2. Again : the renewed sinner abides at the feet •of Jesus as' a place of safety/. He who has delivered can alactpreserve. A sense of security is felt in, his presence, The soul once delivered from the power of sin and taught to hate 'evil,,fcars its influ ence•and shuns its temptations, but only feels truly safe when in the presence of Jesus when he " dwelleth„ in the secret place of the Most gi g h," and " abideth under the shadoiv of the Alinighty." .This` same Jesus-AG is a " reftige from the•sterm and,ctivert from the tempest"" of Divine wrath, is also a "shield" from all the evils which earth and hell would ,exe elite against the soul. Sittinc , at the feef of 'Jesus you hive the assurance that "no iveapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;" there you may sing " the Lord is my strength and my shield : my heart trusted in him and I arn helped; therefore My'heart greatly rejOic efh,. and with my song will I Tibiae him." 3.

Christian brother, you who would honor Jesus and recommend his love to others, as' well as feed your own soul upon 'the rich ness of his grace, must•be ever found sit ting at his feet. In the house of worship, sit humbly at the feet of Jesus and listen as for life to the messages which he, through his servants, sends to .you; in , your closet, with open Bible, on bended• knees, bow yourself at his feet, and potir out to him your soul in earnest prayer,; his holy ordinances, at'his feet, in obedient love, your communing shall be sweet and profitable. ; Nor, indeed is it ::riecessaxy when you are engaged in the busy activi ties of life; to forgot or forsake your gra cious Saviour: If yeti are`hiadisciPle, , he says to you, Lo 1 I am with you Always.: He is your wise, counsellor, your safe guide, your unfailing strength,l.3r tio ,n your great reward. My impenitent friend, - you are cordially invited; you are affectionately urged,,'" you are.sotemnly , warned. to come and- sit at:the feet of..jesus. Ye that labor and are, heavy laden, shall there find rest • ye that groan under_the bondage ,of sin, shall there find liberty. Your longing, starving shall there find that full 'measure of love and sympathy which they so eagerly:crave. All the. wants of ,the rational, heaven-born soul, which ,sin has cursed and sense de luded and disappointed, are fully and freely supplied to him who sitteth himbly and inquiringly at the feet of Jesus. There you will experience pure joys, perennial pleasures, and perfect peace. His favor is life, and his"loving kindness is better than life.
