THE MEETING-PLACE. "The ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads."-Isaiah xxxv. 10. I. WHERE the faded flower shall freshen, Freshen never more to fade; Where the shaded sky shall brighten,— 'Mid the burst of holy song. Brother, we shall meet and rest 'Mid the holy and the blest! II. Where no shadow shall bewilder, And the dreamer dreams no more : Brother, we shall meet and rest III. Where the hidden wound is healed, Where we find the joy of loving, As we never loved before,- Brother, we shall meet and rest, 'Mid the holy and the blest! IV. Where a blasted world shall brighten Shed its healing splendour here. And a purer, fairer Eden Be where only wastes have been. Such as earth has never known, Brother, we shall meet and rest, NOTICE. SEVERAL valuable communications have been deferred from over-press of matter. In reviewing books, we have, of course, often occasion to dissent from the opinions stated in them. This leads some to send us communications in defence of the views impugned. These, in general, we must decline to insert,-save in special circumstances, as they would occupy far more space than we can afford. All readers of the Journal are most earnestly besought to give it room in their prayers; that by means of it God may be honoured and his truth advanced; also, that it may be conducted in faith and love, with sobriety of judgment and discernment of the truth, in nothing carried away into error or hasty speech, or sharp unbrotherly disputation.
