one OF inc strongest and most affecting instances
OF faithful attachment to be met with in history.
occurs in the friendship which subssted between
two females. The instance alluded to- is recorded in
the jewish annals, and most pathetically related bv
ole of the sacred penman. The reader need
not be told, that this is the friendship of Naomi and
Ruth.
Two very remarkable instances Of friendship &C.
cur IN thf history Of our Savlour's life it NAV not
perhaps be altogether unnecessary to state them in
all their striking circumstances
The Evangelist, in relating the miracles Which
Christ performed at Bethany by restoring person
to life who had lain days in the grave, intro
duces his narrative by emphaticaly observing, that
"Jesus loved Lazarus !" intimating it should seem
that the sentiments which Christ entertained Of
Lazarus were a distinct and peculiar species fthat
general bentvolcnce with which he was actuated
towards all mankind. Agreeaby to this application
OF the sacred historians meaning, when the sister,
OF Lazarus sent to acqualnt Jesus with the state in
which their brother l4y they did not even mention
his name but pointed him out by more honour
able and equally notorious designation the terms of
their message were, behold! he whom thou lowest
IS SICK :" Accordingly, when he informs his disci-
pies Of the notice he had thus received his expires
sion IS, s. our friend Lazarus slcepeth" Now that
CHRIST did not upon this occasion use the word
TREND III It's loose undistnguishlng acceptation,
but IN restrained and strictly appropriated sense
IS not only manifest from this plain account of the
tact itself, but appears farther evident from the Sc
quel For, as he was advancing to the grave, ac
conpanled with the relations Of the deceased, he
discovered the same emotions of grief as swelled
the bosoms OF those with whom Lazarus mad been
most intimately connected; and sympa,llzing with
circumstance was too remarkable to escape particu
lar observation and it drew from the spectators
what one should think it must necessarily draw from
every reader this natural and obvious reflection.

tender and sacred object OF his private affections.
But no language can represent this pathetic and al
fectng scene, with force and energy equal to the
sublime simplicity of the EvanSelist's narrative
Now there stood b. the cross of Jesus his mothcr,

1t may safely be asserted, that among all tho.
memorable examples of friendship which have bee1
celebrated with the highest encomiums by the an
clients; there cannot be produced single instance,
IN which The most distinguishing features Of cXaI'
ed amt, are so strongly displayed, as in the fore
going rclation. The only one, perhaps, that bear
even Slight resemblance to it, is that famous trans

fdential legacies to himself; aud celebrating the

when the very different circumstances attending
these respective examples, are duly considered il
must be acknowledged that the former rises as
much above the latter in the proof it exhibits Ct
sublime friendship, as it doe, in the dignity Of the
characters concerned. Upon the whole then it az.
