"Strong Son of God, immortal love,
Whom we that have not seen thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove.
Thine are these orbs of light and shade;
Thou madest life in man and brute;
Thou madest death, and, lo, thy foot
Is on the skull that thou hast made.
Thou wilt not leave us in the dust:
Thou madest man; he knows not why;
He thinks he was not made to die;
And thou hast made him; thou art just."
THERE IS A LIGHT UPON THE
GRAVE; the clearest light we have
ever had. It is dark enough through
life; but "at the evening time there
shall be light." It comes to us from

the spirit, which, we fear, is rising in
the land, in favour of military pursuits;
and we are encouraged when we find
any of our brethren are of the same
mind with us in our views of this serious
matter.

Hence we welcome this small pam-
phlet from the pen of Mr. Jenkinson,
baptist minister, Oakham, which we
cordially commend to the serious perusal

and attentive consideration of the friends
of religion and humanity. Mr. J. does
not hesitate to recommend trust in God,
and prayer for his protection, in prefer-
ence to violent resistance of aggression.
Who in particular he is here aiming
at we know not-surely none of his own
brethren-but he says.-

"To us the means of safety we have specified seem perfectly impregnable. We shall not, however, be at all surprised to find that some treat them with derision; or that some well-meaning but timid souls (like infants when first left to stand alone) are quite afraid to trust them. The former will not be the first who have laughed at things which Providence had purposed largely to employ for the advancement of our race. For the emboldenment of the latter we may add, that there is no likelihood of the martial agencies which they think so indispensable to safety being discarded before the nations are fully prepared for their abandonment. We do not greatly blame our rulers for engaging us in the existing war, for they were goaded to it by the people; neither, deeply as we deplore this exhibition of national short-sightedness, do we chiefly blame the nation at large, or even the leaders of the war-cry; but we do most sorrowfully blame those who profess to be followers of Christ, for what we cannot but think the unholy and unchristian course which many of them have pursued and are still pursuing on this subject.
