I will trust in my Saviour, Who always is near, Ills baud will uphold me, I never need fear. When storms are aronndlne, And waves breaking I'll hear, in the tempest, His voice—" It is I."

Matt. iv : 8, 9.—" Again the devil. tak etblairn up into an exceeding high monn- Min, and `showeth.him all the lcingdoinauf the world; and, the glory of them:;:and saith unto him, All' these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall. down and worship me." It is good. to think of our Lord's temp tation, as well as of his passion; but" at this time our thoughts are turned to some esti mates of the soul, and it is good to think of its value. We wonder at Judas in betraying his Master. He must have been convinced that Jesus was the true Messiah. He had seen his. mighty works; he had witnessed 'his holy life ; he had - seen his compassion toward the siok, the afflicted, and the suffer ing. He had heard his parables ; he had. listened to his Godlike 'instructions. -He had witnessed his forbearance' toward his enemies, and hivpstience under persecu tion. He must have noticed .a remark able fulfilment of prophecies 'in Jesus of Nazareth. In thefull blaze of alLthe tes timony in favor of Christ's Messiahship, he could not for a moment be in doubt. Yet notwithstanding all the light poured into his mind, and though convinced, as he lust have been, and as his confeision ' "I have sinned in that I :have betrayed the innocent," proves him to have been, that Jesus was the Christ, he deliveredjihn into • the hands of his enemies for thirty. 'genes of silver He must have known the ..con sequences. The Saviour, in his presence,, had pronounced a woe od that man by whom The Son of man should be betrayed. Judas knew that Christ had said it Were better he had not been born than to betray hiith In view of all this he went out, with theiNvee sounding' in his ears, and cove nanted with the ohief : priests for 011.0 pieces of silver. For thirty pieties of:sil ver he sold his Saviour ; for 'thirty pieces of silver he ruined his soul; for thirty pieces of silver he sold himself to , the devil I This ivas the price at which be valued the Lord of glory ; this was ,the price at which hevalued his.own soul :.for in selling his Saviour, he sold himself to the evil one. And we wonder at 'him - But let us holier() that we are not_gnilty of the smite offence; let us beware that we barter not 'way.* soils - for eyeniess than thirty pieees of iliVer I ' - '.Mein barter-their soultrto the devil. His is extensively engaged in the -trail:). He: sets a high value on the soul. He is will ing to give more for. it than most men-ask. Hera is the price he offers: tAll the king- . dome of the world and the glory: of them..-.. all: these thiugth:will..l give. Here is, his estimate of the worth of the soul; in his view it equals in value the whole World. This he offers, and that' is as high as he can go. He can give no more; and , pecan not gi‘e this, but he can promise it, and he Gan promise-no more, unleseit be ,exernp tion from;future punishment,-and endless happiness in heaven. But observe: this same devil is - a liar and a cheat, and alWays has been. Re :proznises_ fair, but never performs. This . /e. ' the way he niakea and. can make so man many., contracts. He has been buying souls ever: since he bought Adam and Eve with the promise of life,. and;wis dom, and has never paid one of tis just debts Beware how you. deal with him. He will deceive and ruin you. . Look at the 'example. Our Lord would, not listen to Satan's offer. He haseaid, What is a man profited if he Shalt geitithe whole world, and lose his own * So ll it "- what shall a man give in exohange for:his , soul ? In his estimation, the world_ is nothing in Comparison with the itortik of the soul. Its capacities for knowledge are almost boundless; its capabilities for OS joyment or suffering are almost infinite; and• its duration is endless. Who then can •tell its worth ? Our. Saviour's esti mate is seen in, what he has_ done and suffered to redeem it—to re=purchase or buy it back from the possession of the Prince of Darkness. lie gave himself for its Can ybu compute the worth of his everlasting.righteousness ? Can you esti mate his obedience and sufferings; his agony in the ,garden 'and his groans upon the cross ; his &Orionis person and his precious blood ? Thee' and not till then can you tell the worth aohe soul. It is infinite! -.Yet how lightly men value. their-souls! The: devil's estimate.- is 'seen in what he OL. XL NO. 45. offers; Christ's estimate, in what he gave ; ; man's ,estimate, in what he takes. Judas took thirty pieces of silver;'and multitudes sell their souls for the world—not all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, but for the riches and honors, the vanities and pleasures of the world. How many pursue the world in its various lorms; and neglect their eternal interests I How Many.sell their'soul ' s for the World! The, yottng are -often . deceived by the *joked one, and hafgain for` this price. .They fer get their Cre,ator, reject the Saviour, resist the Spirit; follow after 'vanity,"die and are loat. ' Those of matures years are also wed to the world. They rise.early and sit iiplate, they eat the bread of carefulness, they traverse the desert, they climb the Mountains, they dig into the heart of the earth, they brave the dangers of the Ocean, they visit every.elitne, that`theymay'gather alining dust, build . .splendid houses, and roll' in luxury. For, 'gold they sell them selves ,and barter away. their souls. Nor are men wiser when they grow eld. Then, too, they are caught - with the husks of this Theyare taken' in their own net; they receive =their price, and reap the re ward of their doings. Some sell their •souls for honor and re nown. They seek for glory, and - honor, and immortality—not immortality in 'heaven, but on earth; immortal renown among men. They love the praise of man more than.the praise of Goal and tdobtain it, they bar ter away theirsouls. Alas, that any should be so unwisel What if they could 'gain the world, with all its riches and honors; what if, they :could - enjoy all the pleasures of earth, what could,-enjoy universe, were their, and they-could call the stars their own r and th'ey, were all Oneeolid . diamond ; and *hat if they could'sit . on the thione of inbound ed dominion, and all men were their slaves, and angels their iervants, and the cittle on a thousand hills their own,- and palaces were their kitchens, and'cities - their store : - Ileums, and villages their workshops; and yet they 'should' loae their liouls What would it profit them? Nothing 1 Let us estimate our souls according to their true, value—by the price which has been paid for their redemption. Let us not, be deceived by Satan nor the world, but let rte trust in the Saviour of sinners, end com mit our souls and our all to him. The devil's promises are falenandleceitful; the promises of God are yea and amen in Christ Jesus. In the hour 'of 'terni)tation, let us rest on God's promises, and say to the tempter, Get thee hence, Satin I, W. J. WI. 3.

Some of the dupes of Bar ker have been rescued; among others, my host at Hexham ; and a greater wonder still, Barker himself, at the funeral of a godly tradesman in a Yorkshire town, some ten days ago, addressed three thousand peo ple, and publicly and openly confessed, and deplored his wanderings ; said-he in Polar regions from Chriat, and that now' he renewed his vows, avowed his penitence; and declared for Christianity.
