Providence of God fell TO the lot of Cowper. he
was prepared for his great mission to the
Church of Christ and the world. 1t was a no.
BILE end, wrung out of him at the cost of an in
expressible melancholy and anguish of spirit,
beneath which many a stouter heart MIGHT
have sunk; but the overloaded soul of Cowper
bent till the burden rolled off for time. and
then went back to wait, that a new accumula.
ton of woe might gather there to crush it
down. Nor was the struggle done, till, on the
visage where death set his seal, there was seen
that expression of despair, changing to hope
mingled with surprise, which seemed to tell
every one who stood around, that the departing
saint had caught glimpse of the so longed for
"blessedness once he had known, and "the
soul-refreshing view" by which he felt assured
that the "holy dove A" had returned, never more
to leave him. AS years have rolled and are
rolling on, the glorifed bard will feel that he
would gladly endure again the long period of
has sorrow and gloom, thus to minister to the
millions who have loved to read and will love
to read pages instinct as his are with undying
life. DR.. Cheever's pen will not be idle, and
we wait to welcome others Of its graceful and
clearly defined portraitures, to place alongside
OF his Bunyan and Cowper.
