The opinion seems 10 be prevalent, tina

not so. True religion can not be confined

his lip, and gIows in his eye, in the market

and by his own bright fire side; and il
sometimes he grieve away the gentle dove,
he feels no rest, aud mourns ill it returns
again TO his bosom.
Anything but this is hypocrisy. A reli-

The religion 10 bring back to God and Heav.
en- revolted world. The Closler Monk
may repeat his lturgies from morn till

going up and down the world. scattering
everywhere flowers and blessings in her
path. Her home is in the prison, changing
curses 10 son9s-beside the dying bed, and
with The man among thieves, pouring in
the oil and wine of comfort. She goes not
destitute on her errands OF love, but fills her
hands foil Of gold and silver, TO scatter all
along the homes Of poverty and wo. She
goes not out with a sad countenance TO sigh
continually over the worlds sins. but with
joyous smiles, she flies away 10 waken other
smiles on The cheek of wo, and 10 fll the
world with sunshine and love. This is the
Religion of The heart. She will find home
