SPIRITUAL PROSPERITY.
Notwithstanding the Christian con
siders all here as vanity and vexation it
spirit, and longs for the presence of God In
a future state, yet it must hot be concluded
that he is destitute ofhnly joy. Nothing is
more common than to hear the world in
veigh against religious characters, as per
sons of a melancholy cast, Unfit for society,
and strangers to happiness. If by happi
ness they mean that which the world only
affords, the mere gratification of the appe
tite, the frivolous pleasures of time add
sense, we grant they are not happy in their
dense of the word. For they seek no Mi
city in these objects y they are taught to sit
their affections oh things above and not dn
things on the earth. Their state Is spiritual,
their judgement of things enlightened, their ,
affections placed on pobler objects than
what this world can produce. They have,
it is trtie, their moments of depression,
their seasons of distress,' and, alike With
others, are exposed to the common calami
ties of human life. But although weepirtg
may endure for a night* yet joy cometh in
the morning. Unto the* upright there ariseth
light in darkness. They that sow in teats
shall reap In jov. If there be any truth in
the declarations of holy men, in the testi
mony of experience, and the decisions of
sacred writ, the righteous are at all men
the most happy. “ I will greatly rejoice in
the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my
God; for he hath clothed me With the gal*
ments of salvation, he hath covered wU
with the robe of righteousness, as a bride
groom decketh himself with ornaments,
and as a bride adoroeth herself with hit
jewels.” “ Whom having not seen ye lovl;
ia whom, though now ye see him not, yfec
believing, ye rejoice With joy unspcakaWc
and full of glory.” £ The ways of wisdom
art way* of pleasantness, and all her paths
are peace.” Indeed, what can be mrtre
reasonable than to suppose this? My God,
