HUMAN AND DIVINE AGENCY UNITED IN THE SALVATION OF PHIL. ii. 1o, 13.-Work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God that worketh in you to will and to do of his good pleasure. MANY have found it difficult to understand how human and divine agency are united in the work of man's salvation. There are two opposite extremes into which mankind are prone to run on this subject. One is, to ascribe the work to God in such a sense as to exclude the agency of man. The other is, to ascribe it to man in such a sense as to exclude the agency of God. These extremes are equally wide of the truth. That salvation is of the Lord is evident from the whole tenor of the Scriptures. And that man must work out his own salvation is equally evident. Now the question is, in what sense is this work to be ascribed to God; and in what sense to man? In other words, what does God do towards the salvation of the sinner; and what does the sinner do himselt? It is the opinion of some, that all which God does is to provide the way of salvation-to enable man to comply with the terms on which it is offered-and to present suitable motives to induce him to comply. Now it is admitted that God has done all this for all men. He has provided a Savior. He has so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him might not perish, but have everlasting life. Christ hath tasted death for every man; and become the propitiution for the sins of the whole world. Salvation is freely offered to all. Ho. every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters. Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth. Whosoever will. let him take the water of life freely. All men are made capable of complying with the invitations of the gospel; that is, they possess all the powers of moral agency. They have an understanding to perceive the rule of duty-a conscience to feel obligation-and a will to choose. With these powers they were created; and they need no new powers to render them capable of performing every duty which God requires. I am aware, that it has ON TEMPERANCE. BY A. DICKINSON.
