%" sas Rest of the Soul. .'aas4 s.sA
How much IS comprehended in that one
word,I rest. lit embraces the goal Of hu.
man labor, the sweet reward of toll, the joy
that angels know, and the bliss. for which
the weary, sigh. Rest is the fond dream
of life-the enhancing vision Of the spirit.
Theabusy throngssthat crowd the paths Of
earth are7toiling for this, the captive that
c:anks his heavy chains in gloom, the poor
man that groans beneath the; burden, Of op.
preston, and The mourner that sighs in the
bitterness Of grief are ull seeking rest
And yet the world, with all its vain allure
ments,, is incapable Of imparting to thesman
that rest forIwhicir he inwardlyl ahirstss--
Wenlth may spread itssgolden theasares at
his feet, greatness may 7exalt to the high
seats Of life, and power may, build the pal.
acos of ease, orrearg rgthe soft throne Of maj
esty, butatrue restsis not among theirg dag
zling gifts. This is not to be found in that
which is,outward, sensual and dgross3it be-
longs not to any?oflhe stations or eircum'
stances Of life, but consists in, that internal
peace and harmony Of the
soul, which may as well beattained BY the
beggar as the king. Such rest surpasses
the, enjeymentsi Of outward ease, nnd has
no dependence on the fuctuating events Of
life. Its sweetness may be overjoyed even
in the Sseyerest labors; it may be felt when
pain comforts the weary limbs, or the body
is tossed in feverish restlessness.l 10 s"0 's'
We are nots to understand, however, that
