IMMORTALITY.

How full, says an eminent writer,
how bright are the evidences of this
grand truth. How weak arc the com.
mon arguments, which skepticism ar
rays against it. TO me there is bat one
objection against Immortality, if objcc-
ton 1t may be called, and this arises
from the very greatness of the truth.
My mind sometimes sinks under its
weight, is lost in its immensely; scarce
ly dare believe that such a good is pla-
ced within my reach. When | think
of myself as existing through all future
ages, as surviving this earth and that
sky, as exempted from every imper-
lection and error Of my present being,
as clothed with an angels glory, as
comPrehending with my intellect and
embracing in my affections an extent
OF creation compared with which the
earth is a point; when think of my
sclfas looking on the outward universe
with an organ of vision that will re-
veal to me beauty and harmony and
order not now imagined, and as having
an access to the minds Of the wise and
good, which will make them in a sense
my own; when | think of myself, as
forming friendship with innumerable|
beings of rich and various intcllect and
OF the nobiest virtue, as introduced to
the society oil heaven, as meeting there
the great and excellent of whom have
read IN history, as joined with ''the Just
made perfect" in an eyer-enlargino
ministry of benevolence, and of love-
as having an immediate intercourse
with Con, such as the closest intima.
cics OF earth dimly shadow forth; whenI
this thought of my future being comesl
70 me, whilst hope, also fear; the
blessedness seems too great; the consci-
BUSINESS OF present weakness and un-
wortmness is almost too strong for
nope. But when in this frame ofmind,
look round on the creation, and see
there marks ofan omnipotent goodness,
10 which nothing is impossible, and
IRON which every thing may lie hoped.
when | look at the human mind. and
sec what powers few years have un.
folded, aud discern in it the capacity
ofeverlasting improyement-Ic can and
do admit the almost over-powering
thought of the everlasting life, growth
and felicity of the human soul. To
