* H>niy porfect, pureand innocent young animale wouM do—like doves and lambe. The blood of tbese creatures pleaeed God -and the iucense ot their warm blood was pleasing to him, and he forjrave the wicked &i>d did not punieli them as they justly deserved, if they snrinkle his altars with blood ; but these sacrifices had to be repeated every time God was angry, whieh was very often, and countles8 animala had to soffer for men'ssins." •'But now eame God's enly son, and he was so sorry about poor iallen man, whom God had made and ponished in the S garden of Eden, that he determined to sacrifice himself to save the world. God agree that if Christ would go to the world and be crucified, He would foi> give the sins of the whole world." "So Christ eame to earthand was crucified, and His blood was shed for man, His blood pleased God more all the blood of animala shed before. blood of Christ cleanses from all sin. Be made pure in the blood of the lamb. l, Butdid God keep His promi se and forgive the people and remove the curee put on them in the garden o! Eden ? " asked Nyama. Mr.s Porter looked horrified; was this a heathen and an iufidel.! "No, the wicked world crudfied him; they would not recei\*e him; theydid not believe he was the son of God. But all who believe on him are saved." Nyama saw at onee, that it would not do to appear sceptical # so he listened pafciently tothe good lady's expositi<m of the christian scheme ōf salyation, . and although, asa philc®opher he did not consider it a great success, he smilingly assented to what was said. The good lady gave afnll aeooimt of djvine grace, and repeated thoee sentimenta that have been echoed *mftT>g thousands of Dreacher, and argnments | that have proved cenvincing to millione j of true believers. I Nyama sat in a great easy chair and looked as interested and respectfal as he conld. in his heart to ingratiate hiniself with the jndge's wile and so lay the foundatio& for material ! prosperity for himself andFanu You ! will see that onr hero was not withoat j the radiments of worldly wisdom.
