Oh! pass not, pass not heedless by;
Perhaps thou canst redeem

The breaking heart from misery :-
Go share thy lot with him.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.-2 CORINTHIANS iv. 16.

CHRISTIAN, walk cheerfully, though the dark

storm

Fill the bright sky with the clouds of alarm; Soon will the clouds and the tempest be past, And thou shalt dwell safely with Jesus at last.

Christian, walk carefully, danger is near,

Work out thy journey with trembling and fear; Snares from without and temptations within Seek to entice thee again into sin.

A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench; he shall bring forth judgment with truth.-ISAIAH xlii. 3.

BROKEN-HEARTED, weep no more!

Hear what comfort he hath spoken,
Smoking flax who ne'er hath quenched,
Bruised reed who ne'er hath broken :—

Ye who wander here below,

Heavy laden as ye go,

Come with grief, with sin oppressed,

Come to me, and be at rest.

Broken-hearted, weep no more!

Far from consolation flying;

He who calls hath felt thy wound,

Seen thy weeping, heard thy sighing :

Bring thy broken heart to me;

Welcome offering it shall be;
Streaming tears and bursting sighs,
Mine accepted sacrifice.

JANUARY 16.

The Lord resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.-1 PETER V. 5.

CHRISTIAN, walk humbly, exult not in pride,
All that thou hast is by Jesus supplied;
He holdeth thee up, He directeth thy ways;
To Him be the glory, to Him be the praise.

Christian, walk prayerfully; oft wilt thou fall If thou forget on thy Saviour to call;

Safe shalt thou walk through each trial and

care,

If thou art clad in the armor of prayer.

JANUARY 17.

Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing. -MATTHEW Xxiv. 46.

CHRISTIAN, walk steadfastly while it is light; Swift are approaching the shades of the night, All that thy Master has bidden thee to do Haste to perform, for the moments are few.

Christian, walk joyfully; trouble and pain
Cease when the haven of rest thou dost gain;
This thy bright glory, and thus thy reward,
"Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord!"

JANUARY 18.

For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.-ISAIAH lvii. 15.

THE Lord will happiness divine

On contrite hearts bestow;

Then tell me, gracious God, is mine

A contrite heart or no?

I sometimes think myself inclined
To love Thee if I could,

But often feel another mind

Averse to all that's good.

Thy saints are comforted, I know,
And love thy house of prayer;

I therefore go where others go,

But find no comfort there.

O make this heart rejoice, or ache!
Decide this doubt for me;

And if it be not broken, break—

And heal it, if it be.

COWPER.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.-MATTHEW Xxiv. 13.

A THOUSAND Ways in ruin end,
One only leads to joys on high;

By that my willing steps ascend,
Pleased with a journey to the sky.

No more I ask or hope to find
Delight or happiness below;

Sorrow may well possess the mind

That feeds where thorns and thistles grow.
