DO NOT FORGET.

By JOS. CLARKE

How forgetful are we of heavenly things. I was much impressed by an exhortation lately given by one in the REVIEW, to those who attended the campmeeting at Wright, not to forget the lessons there learned.

Satan is watching to catch away the good seed sown; and it is to be feared, that from many hearts, the scenes of that meeting are already almost obliterated. Others there are who are pondering these things in their hearts, as did Mary the mother of Jesus, the things made known to her.

Mary pondered these things in her heart. How much is comprehended in these words. Let us who attended that meeting ponder in our hearts, the scenes, the warnings, the instructions, and the discipline, of that precious meeting, in which we were endowed with new strength for the race. Eternity will tell the consequences of the opportunities there enjoyed; to such as improve them a savor of life, to others of death.

By the grace of God, I can say, I have since that meeting, lived nearer to God, have felt a greater deadness to the world than before, and a deeper solemnity of mind rests upon me. JOS. CLARKE.
