When shall have presented the theory Of I'm
morality with this host OF evidence, IL can be easily
determined whether il is true false and, without
fa;terv. l think ! shall deserve the thanks OF my
readers for having furnished upon this question on
which 80 many conflicting opinions reign, convlc
ton 30 conclusive ana undeniable that Atheists and
Maieraiis;s SO numerous al the present day, will
formally abjure their disbelief.
Let Us make few remarks on The first proof Or,
Attractions proportional TO Des,nies, and consult
the indications which Attraction in the character Of
TIE agent OF the Divinity furnishes US upon this
subject
i nave sufficiently demonstrated that God would
coauavene all his Attributes, the primordal ones Of
which are -

in al Spheres, Ior OF Creation in all its branches

g. Universally of Providence.
Pivotal Attribute.-USfTY SYSTEM.
God would contravcne. say, His Attributions il
he employed any other agent than Attraction TO
direct and govern the Universe: but in what pro-
portion does He distribute Attractions to each order
oibeings what rule does He follow in this dis,ribu-
ton There can be no doubt that He distributes
Attraction in conformity with His three Primary,
and the Pivotal Attribute above mentioned
II we accept this principle, every doubt OF the
Immortality OF the Soul will vanish in succession:
let US demonstrate this position, by its application
one of the three laws,-namely, 10 the Economy
Of Means
IL God distributes Attraction with economy, He
Will give to each being those attractions which are
necessary, and are about IN Just proportion to his
destinies. Justice however, requires that our at
fractions should be SOmerhdt inferior 10 the happi-
ness which is in reserve for us.-that the goods we
are 10 enjoy shall exceed slightly the desires and
attractions Implanted within us, III order 10 secure
tne charm and mystery OF superabundance oi

10 exceed IN extent the amount of happiness which
We can attain on earth, they would become 4 source
Of torment for the entire race let us Judge Of this
oy comparison with the animals The rein deer,

give him attraction for the ilowery meadows and
