They shall come forth, they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation, John v, 28, 29.

Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Matt. xxv, 34.

We shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is, 1 John iii, 2. They sung a new song, saying,-.Thou hast redeemed us, and made us to our God, Kings and Priests. Rev. v, 9, 10.

These are they which came out of great tribulation, &c. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: &c. Rev. vii, 14, 17.

Can thine heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? Ezek. xxii, 14. Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? Isa. xxxiii, 14. There are only two descriptions of persons in the world, the righteous and the wicked;-you have heard the end of both. Choose you now whom you will serve. If you would die the death of the righteous, prepare for it, by living his life.

Remember, that he who will be your Judge, is the same Saviour who is now your Mediator. Make him your friend, and you will have nothing to fear. Let the terrors of that awful day, which will surely come, and may surprise you suddenly, induce you to begin in earnest, to prepare to meet your God. When Paul reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled. Acts xxiv, 25. Do you tremble? If you do, check not the salutary fear; do not, like Felix, put off the consideration of those important matters to a more convenient opportunity, which in your case, as in his, may never arrive. Delay not an hour to listen to the voice of wisdom, lest your angry and insulted Judge address you in that bitter reproach:Because I have called, and ye have refused, &c. Prov. i, 24, 31.

Seek now for pardon and acceptance, that it may be well with you in that day :

Pray that you may be made meet to be partakers of the inheritance with the saints in light. Col. i, 12.

Give diligence to make your calling and election sure. 2 Pet. i, 10. That so an entrance may be administered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Pet. i, 11.

What is meant by the Holy Ghost?

Ghost is the same as Spirit.
