Please do it now. don't. put off till tomorrow.

A good soul in sending a con- tribution wrote:

some neighbours’

serve. Their parents are as able to afford them as I am. but they prefer to spend their money for their own enjoyment."

Alas, that may be true enoughf

Good and evil, (wrote Milton). we know in the field oi this world grow up together almost insepar- ably; and the knowledge of good is so involved and interwoven with the knowledge of evil. and in so many cunning resemblances hardly to be discerned, that those con- fused seeds which were imposed upon Psyche as an incessant la- bour to cull out, and sort asunder. were not more intermixed. It was from out the rind of one apple tasted. that the knowledge oi good zind cvli, as two twins cleaving to- gether leaped forth into the world.

And perhaps this is that doom which Adam fell into of knowing good and evil. that is lo say of knowing good by evil.

As, therefore the state of man now is: What wisdom can there be to choose. what continuance to for- bear without the knowledge of evil?

He that can apprehend and con- sider vice with ali her baits and seeming pleasures and yet abstain. and yet distinguish‘. and yet prg_ fer that which is truly better. he is the true Wayfaring Christian.

That which purifies us is trial. and trial is by what is contrary.
