 LATE AT CHURCH. See! Saia6ss alaxes ao scenes of riot @. Ry day and night, through rain, or hail. or snow; i And shall some visitor, or worldly cares Detain believers from the house ofprayera Forbid it, Lord! revive Thy peoples zeal; The Iuikewarm plague among thy children heat; Ye heirs of bliss, whom Jesus often meets Whens'er his house is open, f your seats, Jehovah loves the temples of his grace More than the tents of all his chosen race; RleSt is the man whose seeking spirit waits i On all the means of grace in Zion's gates. Bear with me, while ray ihe crime is great ofthose who practice coming h too late; Asit Gods service were by far 100 long, And none rejoice to praise him ia a song. Shall pew-aooSs fattle, hats and pattens move, To show how you the service disapproyef Disturbing those who come to praise the Lord, And even while they listen to his word. A little less indulgence in the bed; A litsle more contrivance in the head; - A little moro devotion on the mind,

 Would quite prevent your being % behind. Suppose an earthly prince should condescsnd To bid you to his banquet, az friend

 Would you not try all means within your power To be in court at the aPPoirted houri

 Shall such attention to a worm Do given, And be refused to the God of heaveng

 Who can expect to be by Jesus bIest,

 Ifabsent when he comes io meet his guests2 O! what pleasing sight itwouId afford. Ifsll were waiting ihere to praise the Lords Each seat were occupied, and all the throng Ready to join in one harmonious song.

 My brethren! this might mostly be the case, IT we were lively in the christian racei Then every hndrance would be laid aside. To see and hear of Jesus crucifed. 4 if you complain you have 50 far 10 come, Sc, out lilile sooner from your home:
