" I could no more tell you, friends, what is in my heart than I could put the sun into a wheelbarrow. When I heard Mr. Jonah preach at the corner that night, I went home, and says I to my wife,' I means to give up my sins and turn to God.' She looks as though I were telling her a fib, but 1 goes to the shelf and takes down about a dozen infidel books, and I puts them on the fire. They did make a blaze, and I stirred them about; and by- and- by every one of them was burnt up. I do praise God it isn't half done. He has given me a new heart. I be happy ; Oh, ' tis a patent blessing as I have got; ' tis no common thing is this pardon and peace. Says I sometime to my wife,' I've got a good slice of Heaven down here, and no mistake.' But, brothers, I werB only half saved until I confessed my Saviour. In my humble opinion ' tis a fine thing to make confession unto salvation. I bean't one of them as be always keeping on to everybody about it. But there's a time to speak and a time to keep silence. I keep silent when my mates at the shop is taunting mo, and mocking my religion; but there be times when ' tis one's duty to speak out all the wonders that God's grace has done for us. ' Tis my belief the devil can't bear a man that will take up his cross and testify. Tell you why : I always get the most temptation afterwards. He comes to me and he says, ' Joe, what a fool you have been making of yourself. Do you think folks is going to believe all that 1 No, no, Joe.' Well, brothers, I know that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin, that's sure. Cheer up, Ben ! I have been saying all this because you are here ; all the difference between us two was that you jumped into the fire, while I stayed in the frying pan. Cheer up, Ben ! ' Tis no use fretting away our life ' cause of what's past. Press on to the things that are on afore, I say; and that's what the Bible says. ' Tis Jesus as says ' Don't you trouble ; I once came to die for you and to pay your debt, now I be gone back again to prepare a place for you, and when you have done your work I'll call you up for ever.' Cheer up. Ben! Give your tears, and your wet eyes, and your heart, and everything to Jesus, as I have done." ROYAL IRISH WAREHOUSE ALL POLICE OFFICERS SHOULD REFER TO MESSRS, JAMES HIGHLAND & CO.'
