A greater part of the life of philosopher
must necessarily be devoted, not SO much to
the acquisition of new knowledge, as to un
learn the errors. TO which he had been
taught to give an implicit assent before the
dawn of reason and reflection. And unless
he submit in this manner to bring all his
opinions to the test Of severe examination
his ingenuity and his learning instead Of en-

to give an additional currency, aud an add.

lie who shows to another the error Lf his
ways, is as hight shining in the darkness;

while at the same time it dspels the sur

The life of pious clergyman is visible
rhetoric and so convincing, that the most
goddess men, though they will not deny
themselves the enjoyments OF their present
lusts, do yet secretly wish themselves like
those of the strc,est lives. Hooker.
The strength of Christians is the honor
of the Church. Religion is the foundation
and cement Of human society. -1Vhitgin
Dear to US are our parents, dear our
children, friends, and relations, but by far
the deares, OF a IT, to the Christian, is Jesus
Christ. Our affection to the former COM

that it would be to his profit even to die for
the sake the latler.- Watson.
A man without any religion may act lau-
daily by chance; his virtue may break out
sometimes in sudden temporary CLEANS !;
but whoever wishes to be habilually and
uniformly good must have the vital princi,
pie of p,e,y uniformly working at his heart,
and by a constant regular warmth produ-
cling constant and regular fruits of r'gh,e.
ousness.-P0rte0us.
No other expedient can be thought of so
useful to keep up the warmth of lively
love towards God, as the continual exercise
of devotion, as well private as public. BY
this. the intercourse between God and our
hearts will be kept always open, and bis
merces, of all kinds, feelngly recollected
for thanksgiving makes necessary part o
prayer. But no other kind of devotion
strikes so directly, or so powerfully, at the
excellent end, as that most exalted act o
thanksgiving, the receiving the sacrament
of the Lords supper. In that we com
memorate the greatest Of the divine mer
cies with due sense Of which, whel
the heart is warmed, it is then in prope
. disposition to consider and adore the good
, ness Of God in all his other dispensalons.-
