ON DIET OR TEMPERANCE. CAPTAIN FOREST, in the account of his voyage to new Guinea, page 300, speaking of the Malays of Magindano, fays, they are moderate in eating and drinking, and delicate in the choice of the beft and finest rice, as Eaft Indians generally are. I have often "feen placed before Rajah Moodo, befides bis difh of boiled rice, two or three "ounces if boiled pumpkin, on one tea faucer; and about two ounces of dried "or falt fish on another. This, with a "cup bolding fomewhat less than half a "pint of chocolate, was his dinner. Nei"ther did he drink any thing after it "but water; then rincing his mouth " and washing his hands.

The fruit of the Spirit is love "joy, peace, long Suffering, (or forbearance)" gentleness" (or rather kindness) goodness, meekness, TEMPERANCE, against fuch there is no law. And they that are chrift's have crucified the flesh "with the affections and lufts," (or defires. If we live in Spirit, let us walk in 4 "Fruit |
