Editor: In your favor of the 17th you express a -- wish for me to write an article. I must say you have a better opinion of my abilities than I have myself, or you would not make such a request. And the thought immediately came, what could I write that would be anyway in- teresting to your, many intelligent readers, or worthy of a place in your excellent paper. Then I was reminded of the passage of Scripture referring to the several talents which the LonI has given to His children; some more and some dess, and the consequnce if they failed to improve upon these talents, and I rea-- , lized that jf I failed to improve upon the one talent which I may possess it would be taken away and given to the one who alread v has ten and improves" them. And who could I blame? Nobody but myself. We are -- all 'children of one Great Parent, and He in His tender "mercy has placed them upon this earth, that they ...might," through ebedience to His laws, secure to themselves an eternal inheritance in in the Kingdom of our God, and He has given to us qualities which, if properly cultivated and imp'ro ved upon, will give us a knowledge of right and wrong. So we aro really left without excuse if wo transgress any of the known laws of pod. But Satan, that arch enemy of all that is good; and pure is on the alert continually to tempt and place obstacles in our way to lead us astray from tho pathway so plainly pointed out by our leaders. And wherein is our safety from his wiles? It is only in a faithful adherence to our duties'day bv , -- day.
