VlRruE-Yirtue has resources buried in it
self. which we know not till the invading hour
onlIs them from their retreats. Surrounded by
hosts without. and nature itself turned traitor. is
its most deadly enemy within, It assumes new
and superhuman power, which is greater than
nature itself Whatever be its creed, whatever
be ts sect, from whatever segment OF tho globe
its orisons arise. virtue is Gods empire, and
from his throne of thrones he will defend it. The
orbs of creation. the islands of light which float
in myrinds ON the ocean OF the universe; that
hive no number, pouring lights upon worlds,that.
untravelled by the wings of seraphims, spread
through the depth of space without end; these
are, to tho eye of God, but the creatures of
less exerton Of his power born to blnze. to testi-
fy his power, and 10 perish But virtue Is moro
precious ihan all worlds, hn emanation, an es-
sence of himself. more ethereal than the angels,
more durable than the palaces of heaven; tho
mightiesi masterpiece of Him who set the stars
upon their course, and filled chaos with a uni
verse. Though cast into this distant earth. and
struggling on the dim arena Of a human heart,all
things above are specta, ors of its conflict
listed in its cause. The angels have their charge
over it, the banners of archangels are on its
side; aud TO sphere. through the illimitable eth
er, and round the impenetrable darkness, at the
feet of ofGodts triumph IS hymned by harps which
strung to the glories of its Creator
