IMMORTALITY.

The proof of immortality, which is suited 10
all understandings is found in the gospel, sealed
by the blood and confirmed by the resurrection
of Christ. But this, think, is made more i'm.
pressize, by demonstration Of its harmony with
the teachings of nature. To me, nature and rev.
citation speak with one voice on the great theme
of mans future being. Let not their Joint wit
ness be unheard.
How full, how bright are the evidences OF
this grand truth. How weak are The common
arguments which scepticism arrays against il.
To me there is but one objection against I'M
mortality, If objection it may be called, and this
arises from the very greatness ofthe truth. My
mind sometimes sinks under its weight, is lost
in its immensely; scarcely dare to believe that
such good is placed within my reac H. When
think ofmyself as existing through all future a.
ges, as surviving this earth and that sky, as ex
empted from every inlparfection AMI error of my
present being, as clothed witt! an angels glory
as compromising with my intellect and em5ru-
cling in affections an extent of creation compar-
ed with which the earth is point; when think
OF myself, as looking on the outward universe
with an organ of vision that will reveal to me
beauty, harmony and order not now to be mag.
ined, and as having access to the minds of the
wise and the good, which will make them in a
sense my own, when Vulnerable beings of rich
and various intellect and of the nobIest virtue. as
