THOUGHTS.

No DWELLINGS, 50 dangerous as q heart
swollen with pride, lust or ambition.
II God be for Us, who can be against
rs? If God be against US, who can be
for us?
To die Of thirst in sight Of q fountain,
TO have feet and never walk, to have
powers and never use them, are kinds of
folly quite common in religious con-
Germs.
Thoughts even more than over acts,
mark the character.
If he shall have judgment without
mercy, what shall be the end of those
who are tyrants in their own families?
Anarchy is worse than any despo-
tism.
It is as great a mercy to be kept from
error as to be delivered from it.
If the poorest and most suffering
child Of God has for ali his sacrifice, a
hundred fold in this life, and in the
world to come life everlasting, the gain
of godliness must be immense.
