THE CHRISTIAN'S OBLIGATION TO SEEK THE SPIRITUAL BENEFIT OF OTHERS.

By the Rev. Thomas Bissland, M.A.,
  _Rector of Hartley Maudytt, Hants._


There are some hearts little, if at all, impressed by the solemn
requirements of the Almighty; so dead, in fact, to everything which
relates not to the objects of time and sense, that they are unaffected
by the scenes of vice and of the misery which is its consequence,
every where presented to their notice.
