TrtH':y Chpch-In the morning, Rev DIR
Butter trector) dscoursed from the text-"Look-
Ing unto Jesus, the author and hnisher of our
fsith." Human hearts must and would have
something to look unto. They must have faith
In something exterior to themselves and greater
than themselves or they must have in themselves
as sufficient for themselves. This looking unto
something which they could see, could make
them what they would be, and give them what
they would have, is an Unborn, incessant and
universal want Of the human heart The gratif-
cation Of this want depended upon two con-
diuons. IL depended upon the entireness Of ones
faith, and upon the power of the object to which
they looked for strength and comfort to give
them what they needed, and make them what
for their happiness 10 was necessary they should
become
