The whole scheme is in danger Of Ultimate

Permit me now inthe third place, 10 exIIor.
you, my friends who belong to the Bible
Society in This place, not 10 be weary in
the course of well doiug. which YOU are
associated to pursue. in your instiluton.-
And for this purpose, shall reconsider the
vigorous prosecution of your ohjecI.
shall Ito this in order that might attempt
the removal of the influence, which this
cause is calculated to produce.
The cause Of WEAKNESS, that have
mentioned, is found in The characteristic
of the South. This is ardor. not perSever-
ance. To realize and feel the nature and
pressure OF disease, is The irsl and most
important step towards its cure. That
man is prouc 70 inlolpnce. is seen as The
result of long observatiun AMI experience.
individuals have overcome The character.
isiic induience of their nature. But the
labor necessary in obtaining lhf victory.
instead of IiSpuving. only establishes The
truth OF The general remark. Lei This
general truth then, The Incidence Of "ur
naiure, he deeply impressed OF your minds.
Let il he Icll, as peculiarly applicable TO
Southern clnIcs. Dwell upon il, until you
feel it in all lis force, and then consider
the grandeur o.! The object before you, its
extent, and lis eternal result. Consider
that the obierl Of Bible Societies. is that
object which employed the mind Of Tie
Sacred Three i'll eternity. hrlnre man was
born, or the worlds were framed. That il
is the ojecl m:ch brouah, the second
person OF the Sacred Three, from The
Throne Of his slory, to dwell on earth in a
stale of suffering, and to end his life on
The cross: the object which brought the
third perscn Of thai Three, to dive j in our
world. and to render cfccmal the great
plan of Eternal wisdom. The execution
OF this plan will exhibit the glory Of God
in the highest possible poin, of view, and
will secure ilIr"ugh"ut eternity, tie indies

lions. Durin. lis execution. the moral
face Of our world is undergoing n continual
change, in which the marred visage of sin
and misery is giving way to the heautiful
forms OF love. and mercy, beneicence aud
holiness. In the prosecution Of such Il
course, an object is presented. sufficient
for the grasp of an immortal mind. All
It's powers may here be employed in the
nobesl elforts. The grandeur of The oh
lect, and The certainty Of its af,ainmcnts
should then so operate rs 10 overcome The
" weariness, to which we are exposed from
the iudnlemcc Of our nature. That surcess
is certain. We are assured from the prom
ise of Him who cannot lie. Ye shall rrdp
IN due time ifyou faint not. Persevere then.
Rise superior 10 The infirnities of your ma
,ure. Faint nol in your pursuit. Ye shall
reap in due time if yc faint not. God has
de- Jared that his word >hall not return unto
him void hut that il shall accomplish that,
wherrto he hath sent it.
If the promise is made to perseverance,
then in order to Success. we must. no; faint,
or grow weary. If we have nor success,
The fault must he ours, or God who hath
promised, is no' faithful. That God is un-
faithful, cannot he true. That we may
overcome The weariness to which we are
liable, we should remember that it is i'll
DUE time we shall reap. But when the
due lime shall come, is with God To deter
mine; and it may please him to put ii off
10 lhr future world Of glory. If so. we
should submit with pious resiSnalion.-
The reapinS spoken of in the text may re-
fer either to success on Earth, or to the
reward in Heaven. And TO the latter per-
llaps, il primarily refers. We should there
fore not so much look al success in our.
plans in this life, hut to the faithful and
uuIiring performance of duty. Since the
promise oithe crown of glory is made 10 the
faithful, no, Ia the successful servant 'Be
thou faithful into death. am, will give
thee crown Of glory" This passage sng-
gcsls the idea that this world Is Ihr Time of
labor, the future world. the time oil reward.
The term reapine, tho suggests The idea 0f
sowing. and between sowing antl reaping.
"a tonsiderablelime nusl elapse. The ex
pIanation Of the parable of the tares aud
the wheat, presents similar idea. BE
exhorled then dear friends. NOT TO he wea-
rv in the Bible cause, for ye shall reap in
due time if,ye faint not.
