THE UNION.

enough to have look through and the spirit world
we look upon the pages of the Bible and the deuson
yamsnes II shows order in morals and renders lucid
the otherwise dark providence of God We now pre-
pared To let the Bible its nerrogatory orwe
may associate Jobs problem with Paus solution: 'l
man die, shall he live again ~ ale that BY patience
conunueth IN welldong, seeks for glory &c Such is
n9' rauls meaning, say he is speaking OF tempo
raj renbulions God too mercul TO condemn and rum
men formed IN his own image With Jehovah there Is
no mutation His mercy is alike 10 all, lie sees the
same wave engnlf the pirate reeking in his blood
and bleeding lnocence-the victim of the former
Nero reveed in his palace, and the burning bodies
OF inc SAINTS served as torches Tor the lmpefi
block stained with the gore OF his buchered brethren
lie heard The goanngs of the falsely accused IN the dun
geons OF the nqusiton, and is eyewitness now OF the
writings OF the ncurable asyums. II his mercy
suffered Him to look upon all this, without barring His
arm to scouge the oppressor, will il moi permit Him to
behold the miseres of the self destroyed Gods mercy
Is not ours is equally balanced against HIS justice
But may lie not punish the guilty for season. and then
unbar the prison of despair Il heard voice eX
claiming, lle that is filthy, let him be filthy still
How can suffering effect cure? What empoymens are
assigned the inmates of the prison OF despair Does the
church, bell the sleeper and HE HIM to
Mereys altar Does an embassy from Heaven ever visit
his dark abode Is atonng blood ever sprnkled on the
eveed conscience does Jesus ever point the ieered
criminal to his CROSSE This book answers without are
dogs and socerers and iolers and whatever lowest and
makest lie" In those dreary regions hear of none
qualified to preach reform. Can wickedness reform itself
Swearing does not atne the tongue for praise. Sabbath
sin ansrue itself into the opposite virtue: Wll the
present order of and effect be reversed in eternity
There be discord in bliss Though voice may
sing sweety than another they all shout hosinnah
though one star may glow with more ettugence than
another, yet they all shinethough saint may stand
nearer the enthroned lamb than another they all minis
ter before him. There crowns but they belong 10 the
soldier of the cossthere spote< garments, but they
shall cothe such have washed their robes and made
them white in the blood OF the Lamb There are III
umphs, but
--ssWith united breath
They ascrbe their conquests to the Lamb,
Their victory TO his death"
And now, in conclusion, in virtue OF my Office, let me
urge you think of these thngsto ponder well the mo-
mentous truth OF your Immortality, and that our conduct
here decides our condition hereafter May we think OF
these things with dead to the sepulchre
May practically regard them, amid all the fluctuations
and business OF subsequent life May we SO improve he
that when called TO part with all the familiar accompan
ments of life death may be to angel OF delverance
from all aichon the grave our portal to the skies =
AMEN.
