LovE.-Love is said to be the strongest
passion Of the human heart-stronger than
death. True love and friendship cannot be
too much cherished, for unhappy must be
that person whose heart is so cold that it
cannot feel for the woes Of others. Let this
be banished entirely from the heart, and
wretchedness, with its train Of evil, would in
evitably follow. Hence it is the tender chord
OF love that binds society and constitutes the
happiness Of mankind. When this is fully
exercised harmony exists between husband
and wife, brother and sister, nation and na-
tion. War RACES no more; vice ceases to
prevail; earth becomes paradise. What a
blessing if il were in reality SO. But how
easily il could be accomplished il all would
yield to the Gospel. Then Gods approba-
ton might be expected, and every good
cause would prosper without IN opposing
influence. Tears would cease TO flow; sorrow
would be unknown; Heaven would rejoice
May every good man, then, devoutly labor
to hasten the contamination Of this happy
and glorious period. If it never takes place
as here described, il may by the active CO.
operation Of Christians, be promoted to q
very great extent We know what the con-
straining love Of Christ has done in the
world, even to the pulling down in many
places Of the strongholds Of Satans kingdom
