darkness, into that region of eternal sunshine, where you shall blossom for ever as "trees of righteousness,the planting of the Lord,—that he may be glorified."

May God follow what has been said with his blessing, for Christ's sake,—to whom, with the Father, and the blessed Spirit, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

PART FIFTH.

IMITATION OF CHRIST.

1 PETER ii. 21.-"Leaving us an example that we should follow his steps."

ADVERTISEMENT.

THIS last part of the Work is intended for those who may wish at any time to recall the impressions which had been made on them during seasons of Communion,-and is, therefore, so conducted, as to contain an exhibition of that style of acting and feeling,-and of those consequent rewards of "glory, honour, and immortality,”—which belong to those who have received the privileges of the Gospel, not in profession only, but in truth. It is wished, accordingly, that Christians would make it a rule occasionally to renew their Sacramental feelings and purposes, by a devout perusal of the discourse which this part contains, and of the reflection and prayer by which the work is concluded. Such a duty, if performed conscientiously during the intervals which occur between seasons of Communion, might, it is hoped, by the blessing

of God, be instrumental in preventing that utter forgetfulness of those Sacramental vows, which, it is to be feared, is too often felt by those who are immersed in the business of the world,-and to whom, therefore, such an occasional monitor is peculiarly necessary.
