New Testament," said a Hindu woman, "must surely have been written by a woman, for it looks so kindly to women, and knows so well the wants of women." And so might every class say with respect to the salvation of Christ. We ean go through all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature; the richest, and the noblest, and the most intelligent, and the most cultivated, have wants which it alone can supply! The poorest, and the meanest, and the most ignorant, and the most debased have no wants which it cannot supply. It can give double sweetness to the overflowing cup of the joyful, and it can extract the element of bitterness from the tear of the sorrowful; it can give tenfold grace and loveliness to the beauty of youth, tenfold venerableness to the gravity of age. It can comfort in life, and what but it can enlighten the dark avenue of death, and cast a light on the shadow of the tomb?

In point of fact, the suitableness of the Gospel of Christ to the circumstances of the various nations in the World is not now a matter of mere theory. It is a matter confirmed by an induction of particulars that amply satisfies the demands of the most scrupulous inquirer. The old Romans found it a blessed exchange for the religion which they regarded as the grand safeguard of their empire; and our remote ancestors substituted it for their druidical rights, and found the exchange to be an unspeakable blessing. The inhabitants of numerous islands in the Southern Ocean have put its mild precepts and its heavenly principles in the place of their murderous and their cannibal practices. In Africa, there are thousands of men and women going quietly in the way to heaven, enjoying the peace and the joy of believing, who began life as worshippers of the most contemptible of all idol gods. In China, there are bands of devoted Christians, small indeed, in proportion to the teeming millions of the population, but positively numerous and constantly increasing, who find in Christ the supply of all their wants, the appropriate remedy for all their diseases. In Burmah, whole tribes of Karens have renounced their ancestral faith, and are walking in the precepts and ordinances of God blamelessly. In our own India, there are thousands and tens of thousands who bear on their faces, to this day, the ineffaceable marks of Vishnu's wheel and Sheva's trident, impressed upon them in their infancy, but who now bear in their bodies the marks of the Lord Jesus. Of all these representatives of all nations, no one has ever come to Christ with a want which He could not supply, with a sorrow that He could not comfort, with a difficulty that He could not solve.
