him was his humble state,-his coming into the world without observation. Even when they laboured to obtain a colour of justice to their unjust sentence of death, Pilate

likewise.

OUR blessed Lord, during his continuance on earth, while he published the tidings of salvation to the world and made known the ways of pleasantness and peace, at the same time caused his light so to shine before men, that they saw his good deeds and glorified his Father in heaven. He indeed left us an example that we should follow his steps. "Learn of me," says he, "for I am meek and lowly in heart." The whole tenor of his conduct was such as to attract the admiration of all those who beheld him, and excite them to emulate his blameless virtue. He did no guile, neither was deceit found in his mouth. The consistency of his life with his precepts was that which indisputably established the truth of the revelation which he taught. Had he not acted upon the precepts he delivered and adopted as a rule of the religion he professed, his adversaries would have found just occasion against him, and might reasonably have represented his pretensions to the character of a Divine Lawgiver, as vain and delusive. As it was, all they could urge against REMEMBRANCER, No. 72.

not until the last, that even false witnesses were obtained to bring evidence against him:-so blameless was his holy life,—so clearly did he set forth his unerring conduct as a practical declaration of his command in the text,-Go, and do thou likewise.

This command of our Lord, as it is expressed in the text, applies obviously to the case immediately concerned in the narrative. By the beautiful parable of the wounded traveller relieved by the compassionate Samaritan, our blessed Saviour had displayed in its true light the nature of Christian charity and fellowship, and effectually answered the question proposed in the words, -who is my neighbour? Making then a pointed application of the subject to the individual who had made the inquiry of him, he adds the injunction, Go, and do thou likewise.— But I shall take occasion, from these words, to shew the propriety and usefulness of our following in our own conduct, whatever we see amiable and worthy of pursuit in others, and of turning that imitative faculty, which we all possess in some degree, to the high object of promot. 4 X

ing true piety and virtue,-that so, throughout our intercourse with society, we may carry into effect the principle inculcated in the text, of not only admiring a good deed, but also of applying ourselves to do likewise.

It is a subject indeed of which we cannot be too often reminded, that whenever we witness any virtuous action, and contemplate it with just admiration and love, we ought not to rest on the mere expression of our sentiments, and fancy ourselves good, because we approve that which is good, but on the contrary, should bring the case fully home to ourselves, and derive a lesson from it for our future conduct. Our natural indolence disposes us to think that the particular case does not belong to ourselves-that there are circumstances in it which exempt us from an entire fellowship with the persons concerned in itthat we are not called upon to give so great a trial and evidence of our virtue and that we have borne sufficient testimony to our own sense of goodness, as well as to the merit which engaged our attention, by bestowing on it our honest praise and esteem. Conscience frequently tells us, Thou art the man ;-still some excuse suggests itself, some palliative is found, which justifies us in our own eyes, and suffers us contentedly to pursue our established system of conduct, without an endeavour to follow after the better things which we have seen. But the time passed may suffice us to have walked in the ways of inconsiderateness-let us now rouse our attention, and endeavour to derive some comfort to our souls, from the wholesome instruction of good example.

For, first, let us contemplate, with this view, the wonderful life of our blessed Lord. To fix our eyes on him, though the mark at which we aim may be far beyond the utmost stretch of human attainment, will certainly be the most effectual means of approaching, as nearly as possible,

to that faultless degree of holiness which he has exhibited in himself. It is of importance to propose to ourselves the highest excellence as our model of imitation, for even should we fall short,-very far short,— of the summit of our wishes, we can hardly escape obtaining some good at least from the attempt, and are much more likely to advance to very high degress of goodness, than by making mediocrity our standard: whereas by fixing a low point, as the object of our attainment, no ardour of emulation is kindled,—no vigour or spirit of enterprise inspired,-no anxiety for success awakened, and we proceed leisurely on our way, neither repining at our slow progress, nor distrustful of ourselves, but fully satisfied, that our indolent exertions will at length be rewarded in the easy accomplishment of their ignoble end.

But it becomes us as Christians,— as the redeemed of the Lord,—to fix our thoughts and desires, not on mean and unworthy objects, but, as it was before observed, on that of the highest excellence-namely, on Hiin who bought us with a price, even with his own blood; and who,-it must be remembered, while he died for our sakes, also lived for our sakes. He died indeed that we might be washed in his blood, and through his merits be presented holy and blamelessbut he lived also, that we might be renewed after his similitude; that we might see a living portrait of that virtue which he taught,—and by the love of it, as pictured in him, might be forcibly allured to the pur

suit of it.

As he has been given to us, therefore, not only as a sacrifice for sin, but also as an ensample of godly life, it behoves us earnestly to endea vour that he may be honoured, no less in his life than in his death.-As it must be our most anxious desire that he may not have died in vain for us, so should it be the object of our unceasing exertions that he may not have lived in vain,-but that, as he
