Effects of Love to God and to
Man.
BY REV. GEORGE HUNTER.

Continued
In larger communities the principle of
love would effectuate a mighty change
That spirit of jealousy and selfshness, of
avarire aud monopoly, which now produces
so many Earrings, contentious and collisions
Of interests among town councils, corpora
tons, and ether smaller associations, would
cease to operate. Every one would see
and feel, that the prosperity Of the whole
IS also the prosperity OF every portion OF
the general community. Boisterous dis
putations, sneers, Kisses, rcproaches, and
angry passions would lie banished fr IN the
deliberations of every society; and candour
goodwill, and kindly affections would
animate the minds of all its meuibors.
! The mutual intercourse of nations would
be established on the principle OF friend
ship aud affection, and on the basis of i'm
mutable justice and eternal truth. Raised
against petty jcalousies, secure from the
alarms of war, and viewing each other as
branches of the same Almighty Parent
every nation and empire would feel an in
terest in promoting the prosperity of ano-
tier, aud would rejoice in bcholdins its
h pp;ncss and improvement.
nder the bengnant influence of the
spirit of love, useful intelligence of every
description would be rapidly and extern
sively conn., unicated the sciences would
be improved, and carried forward to per.
fection; the jea|ousies which now exist
among scientific men would cease to ope
rate, and every fact on which science is
built would be impartially Investigated
and exhibited in its true aspect; the arts
would flourish, and be c~rried to the high
est pitch Of improvement; no secrets il
arts or trade would be locked up in th'
breast of the discoverer; but every usefu
hint would at once be communicated t.
the public; every invention would uniform
ly be applied to the promotion of bene
,, VIOLENT object, and the arts of destruction
,, would cease to be cultivated, and be he'll
in universal detestation. Under the infu
euce of the reign of love, the instructio
of oil ranks, in every department of usef'
knowledge, would be rapidly promoted
ignorance and error, with all their attend
,, ant evils, would soon vanish from th
: minds even of the lowest orders of society
s seminaries would be erected and establish
d ed on liberal basis, for instructing ever
n class of mankind in all those branches {
science which tend to expand the capacit
of the human mind, and to extend tt
a, range of its contemplstions; the hours
" ?, active labor would be abridged, in ord'
2; a that they might have leisure for the cult
vation of their understanding and the C.
:, eroise of their moral powers. Among
g ranks of men, spirit of selfshness al
d a avarice would be extinguished, and in
ID stead spirit of noble generosity and b
'' nefcence would pervade the whole mass
society. This sublime principle forms
prominent trait in the character of Go
al al and in all his arrangements towards |
nd creatures; and it animates the minds
superior iutelligcnces in their associatio
a n with each other, and in their occasion
81 intercourses with the inhabitants Of o
nn I, world. In imitation Of those gloriO
a beings, tho human race would consider
as the grand end Of their existence, n
