'Curiosus' is upright and unblamably in his general deportment, and no stranger to the experiences of a true Christian. His conversation upon these subjects is often satisfactory and edifying. He would be a much more agreeable companion, were it not for a bothersome desire of knowing everybody's business, and the grounds of every hint that is occasionally dropped in discourse where he is present. This puts him upon asking a multiplicity of needless and improper questions- and obliges those who know him, to be continually upon their guard, and to treat him with reserve.

-As it respects ourselves,- Mrs. Judson writes, -we are busily employed all day long. I can assure you that we find much pleasure in our employment. Could you look into a large, open room, which we call a veranda, you would see Mr. Judson bent over his table, covered with Burman books, with his teacher at his side, a venerable-looking man in his sixtieth year, with a cloth wrapped round his middle, and a handkerchief round his head. They talk and chatter all day long, with hardly any cessation.-

The power of sin lies in its pleasure. If stolen waters were not sweet, no one would steal the waters. This is part of the mystery in which our being is involved by the fall- and it is one of the most fearful features of our case. Our appetite is diseased. If our bodily appetite were so perverted that it should crave for what is poisonous and loathe wholesome food, we would not give ourselves up to each random inclination- the risk of death would be great, and valuing life, we would set a guard on the side of danger. But in man fallen there is a diseased relish for that which destroys.

He has yet another resource- when counsel is despised, He will bring forward reproof- if they will not be enticed by the promise of heaven, He will threaten them with the fear of hell. -The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.- Inconceivably great is the weight of that wrath which is treasured up against the day of wrath, to be poured on all the impenitent then- but that reserved wrath is not left in the meantime lying useless in its treasure-house.

The life and influence of Charles Hodge is so vast. In a 1 hour class, there was only time to really focus on two things. How his conversion affected his view of revival, and a general overview of Princeton Seminary and educating ministerial aspirants for the pulpit. A quick look ahead to how liberalism captured the northern Presbyterian Church with a couple of reviews and overviews of Gary North's Crossed Fingers is also opened up.

To escape me the wretched man flew to Atheism, and resumed a portion of his former atrocious impiety. ' For what I know,' he cried, this may be all a bug-bear to terrify us - how can I ascertain that there is any such Being as God - I know no such thing- nor do I know how to set about to find it out.' What am I to do now - I thought with myself. Must I go through the arguments for the existence of a God with this dying sinner, who should be invoking the aid of a Saviour with prayers, and tears, and groans - It is impossible - it is useless if it were possible - and Scripture he will disclaim altogether.

The Observation of the birth of Christ, the Duty of all Christians- or the true Way of keeping Christmas. -Matthew 1-21-

From the website, Be The Life, -One day Lanphier prayed, -Lord, what wilt thou have me to do-- He sensed God's leadership to begin a weekly prayer service at the noon hour for workers and business people to communie with God. He began on Wednesday, September 23, 1857, with six people attending. The second week 20 attended and 40 the thrid. The hunger and thirst after God was evident, and they began the daily -union prayer meeting- the fourth week. People of all classes of society and frm many denominations attended.-
