any to inquire, Lord, what wiltThou have ME to do? 124 LIFE AND LABORS OF C. H. SPURGEON. PSALM XLIV. Our ears have heard, O glorious God, What work Thou didst of old;And how the heathen felt Thy rodOur fathers oft have told. T was not Thy peoples arm or sword. But only Thy right handWhich scattered all the race abhorred, And gave Thy tribes their land. Thou hadst a favor to the seed Which sprang of Jacobs line ;And still on men afore decreed Doth love electing shine. These shall the heritage obtain, And drive out every sin ;Een death and hell shall rage in vain, — They tnicst the conquest win. From grace alone their strength shall spring, Nor bow nor sword can save ;To God alone, their Lord and King, Shall all their banners wave. Awake, O Lord, of Thine elect, Achieve Thy great design ;Thy saints from Thee alone expect Salvations light to shine. In Thee alone we make our boasts. And glory all day long ;Arise at once, thou Lord of hosts, And fill our mouth with song. C. H. Spurgeox.

Some are at restbecause they never look beyond the borders of the church; but those whosesympathies reach to all humanity will have to carry a life-long burden of theLord.—C. H. Spurgeok. THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE. THE history of the church of which Mr. Spurgeon is overseercontains a record of information and interest peculiar toitself. For two hundred and thirty years it has stood the test,and some of the best leaders and teachers of Christendom haveministered the Word of life to its members. For many years apressure was brought to bear upon its present pastor to furnishto the public every possible information regarding its origin,growth, and work. Notwith
