HEAVEN

Is more the perfection, than the repos-
itory of souls-every place where God
d"ells, where his face is seen and. his
works enjoyed--it is the happy place
where friendship is in its kingdom, and
reigns over every heart--it is the throne
OF God unto which we are exalted-the
whole world and himself, wherewith we
are crowned. The soul awake and re.
stored to itself-the heart of man having
left its dross and returned to its pure Clio.
ry. Love having lost the name Of duty,
and now appearing as itself is, the quin.
tescense ofjoy and blessedness, :he sphere
OF glory, the perfection of beauty. The
place where eternity, Almighty power
and infiniteness are seen in the things
themselves, and by the gift of God seen to
be ours--the banishmeet of storms and
CONTRARY hurricanes,of imperfect;op s. dis
content, the extirpation of lumpish affec,
tons and dull diseases. The soul is per.
lection. The place ofihe Spirits of lust
men made perfect, where with open face
we behold the glory ofthe Lord, where we
are transported into the same image from
glory to glory by the spirit of the lord %
being perfectly 'holy,as he is holy living
in the height of his divine .irnilitude land
possessing the joys Of his eternal king
