ter on your everlasting inheritance. But that
capacity shall be forever increasing, and for
ever filling with all the fulness Of Cod
Throughout the immortality OF her existence
your soul shall be continually expanding her
views, strengthening her energies, and drink
ing deeper and deeper Of the river of plea,
sures, which flows at the right hand of the
Most High.
Such arethe bolthdless offers of religion. All
that man can desire, all that his nature can re-
lceive, more than his utmost powers Of appre
hension can reach. View the nature of man,
and the objects by which he is surrounded; his
immortal capacity forever seeking, yet forever
refusing to be filled from earthly sources; and
say, is not this divine Religion, III its freshness,
its richness, and in lis boundlessness, 10 be.
ing thus constituted and thus situated, is it not
all? View the individual who has embraced
her in his nnUst soul, and entered on the high
and holy course which she dictates, and then
say with emphasis, drawn from reality, and not
from theory alone, is not Religion all? See
her disciple parlaker of the ills incident 10
human nature. Ne considers himselfas Sun
der education in Gods school, )" and whether his
divine Master frown or smile, he knows the dis
pensaton is adapted to his present need, and
tends alike to fit him for his future Inheritance.
What moral grandeur is there in the charac-
ter Of the Christian! Amid the war Of elements
the wreck Of matter and the crush OF worlds
he can sit like Noah in the ark, calm, quiet, and
secure, for the edifce Of his hopes is built on
| the Rock Of Ages View the Christian as taught
| by religion TO subdue the baneful passions oil
oul nature, which are ever springing sources
,piihin In
stead of suffering the sceptre Of revenge, to
Irvine around his heart, and nourish itself in
the misery of another, he has learnt when he
is reviled, TO bless; when he is DETAINED to suf-
fer. A happy man is he! for in proportion as
he yields to the influence Of the principles he
has embraced, his soul is in harmony within
itself, in harmony with all around him, in har-
mony with the governing principle of the uni
verse. 1t is like well-tuned instrument, what
ever key is struck it responds melodious notes.
Follow the Christian further as he enters the
dark valley Of the shadow Of death. Here ma
ture instinctively recoils. But religion takes
away the sting of death, and despoils the grave
of its victory. True the proud preceptS Of phi.
losophy might have enabled him to meet it with
feigned composure, but it is divine religion
alone which can in reality be the strength OF
his heart, when heart and flesh fail. When
the silver chord is loosed, and hegolden pitch
er broken, and the frighted soul, finding that
the frail edifce is crumblng, looks out for a ref
uge; if dark uncertainty hang over its future
destny,it cannot but recol in agony and horror.
Blessed religion! light ofthe world, sole hope
Of ruined race; renovatng principle, which
restores life and beauty where all was corrup-
ton and de(ormity! extend thy benign reign
let thy hopes be embraced, and thy benefits
Idiffused.
