    gious improvement which we have made of the period now far ever passed away * Is there one who can conscientiously say that he has made the best use of the gifts of God ; that he has consecrated his time and talents , without any vacation * to the pursuit of the noblest ends by the noblest means—that the words of his mouth , and the meditations of his heart , have always been such as are acceptable to heaven—and that he had

    endeavoured , to the utmost of his capacity , •* so to number his days as to apply his heart unto wisdom ? " Has he learned ta meet prosperity with gratitude , and to fe&r adversity without repining ^ -to prostrate himself in joy and sorrow alike , before the throne of Him who gives and who takes aw&y- « -and to look beyond the tides of mortality , to the Heavenly Agency by which they are controlled , and by whose influence alone they can ebb or flow ? Has he striven to correct the errors of his heart * and

    to supply the deficiencies of his character—to invigorate his faith , to exercise his charity , and to establish his hope—to walk in the light of the ' * Sun of Righteousness , " and to act upon the lessons of •* the everlasting Gospel P" If there be none , who can conscientiously say that all this he has done—who can fully acquit himself , upon a review of the past , of any misuse of time *

    talents , or means ; let the new year commence under happier auspices—with the deep and deliberate resolve to compensate , as far as possible , for the omissions of the last—and with the humble but fervent prayer , that He before whom all hearts are open , will enable us to carry our resolutions into effect . In the grave of the departed year let the follies and frailties which attended it be interred—and , at the commencement of another , let

    us impress upon our minds the sweet , yet solemn conviction * that time well employed , may be the prelude to immortality , and that the path which the pilgrim traverses over the sands of existence , may terminate at length in a paradise beyond the grave , the land of immortal light , of happy life , and of sacred love . Let us act Upon the resolutions we have now formed- —to

    resign our doubts , and to correct our errors—to consecrate outf thoughts in solitude , and our actions in society * to the will and the worship of our Father and our God— --and never more t < 3 suffer the time which Heaven in mercy lends us , to be recorded ^ afc unimproved , in the tablets of eternity .
