tenance, led her aged father to seek Him, and to find Him; and was blest thus to lead him to the Rock of Ages, only a few minutes ere she hersel took flight for glory. But other accounts are no less instructive.

In 1757, a most useful Minister, Mr. Risdor Daracott, of Wellington, in Somersetshire, thu writes to Dr. Gillies, of Glasgow:-"You hav surely heard of G—, the Jew. He is a perso of immense fortune. What think you of the grac of God coming into his family? His younges daughter is, it seems, a real convert to vita Christianity; and, by her letters, has had som happy influence on her sister, who is married to nobleman. Mr. G. has a son, about twelve year old, on whom he bestows a great deal of learning One day the child said to him, 'I thank you, papa for giving me such an education; but I'll be Minister, and preach the dear Lord Jesus Christ, my sister's Saviour!' Upon the death of a favourit servant in the house, this young person came down in the morning with this question to the servants. 'Is he dead?' They told him that he was. 'Now,' said he, 'I charge you that none of you tell papa or mamma of it. I'll tell them myself; and I have a particular reason for it.' So he went into the room where Mr. and Mrs. G. were, and with the greatest solemnity addressed them as follows:'Your favourite servant is dead; he is gone to appear before God's awful tribunal; and there you, papa, and you, mamma, must stand too; and if you are not found in Christ, you must be eternally

miserable, for all your money!' And then he withdrew."

There is a narrative of three Jewish children in Prussia, which deserves to be well known. It shows evidently that Divine grace is strong, stronger than earth, stronger than hell. It shows us young souls overcoming the world, because greater is He that was in them, than he that is in the world.

GETTING READY FOR HEAVEN.

A LITTLE child was playing with its mother, and they were talking about heaven. The mother had been telling the child of the joy and glories of that happy world, the beauty and glory of the angels with their shining wings, the streets of gold, the gates of pearl, the golden crowns, and the harps, and the white robes, and the song of redemption: "There is no sickness there, no pain, no death, nor sorrow, nor sighing, for God shall wipe away all the tears from every eye; and there is no sin, that makes all the grief and trouble here, but perfect holiness. will be holy, just as the Lord Jesus is holy; and all will be perfectly happy in Him. All good children will be there; and He himself has said, 'Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.' happy world! There shall we see God, and love Him, and rejoice in Him; and God Himself will be with us, and be our God.

All

O, what a

'There we shall see His face,

And never, never sin;

There from the rivers of His grace
Drink endless pleasures in.'

O, what a happy world! And how happy shall we all be when we once get there!"

"O, dear mother," said the little child, jumping up at the thought of such a bright, happy place, and such happy company, "let us all go now; let us g now! I long to be there. Let us go straight away to-night."

"O, we must wait a little. God is not ready fo us to come yet; but when we must come, He will let us know."

"But why can't we get ready now? O, I should like to go now right up to heaven! Dear mamma let us go to-morrow."

"But, my dear child, we are not ready yet, and we must wait God's time; and when He is ready, He will send for us.

"Well, dear mamma, let us begin to pack up now, at any rate."

This is just what we should all be doing, getting ready for heaven. I wonder if my little reader is ready; ready to leave all behind; ready to enjoy all that is before him in heaven. Are you ready to go to heaven to-night?-Christian Treasury.
