found, even in the small number that

themselves Interested. We implore
them, ifjthey wish to find that happiness
which has blessed the human race, that
power which alone can franchise the soul
and give the mind its vast play of fac
ulties, to lay Tom Painc's Age of
Reason on the shelf, at least until
they have used some of their own reason.
Under the enlightening and harmon
izing powers of revealed religion the
fathers of the American Republic made
all the perfections that belong to this
asylum for the oppressed All the
bright inteligonces which built this fab
ric of freedom were believers in the evi-
deuces and power of Christianity, and
embarked its future fortunes securely
upon the faith that as long as the vital
