Harmony of Nature and Revelation.

All the precepts of Christianity are agreeable to
the dictates OF sound mind, and its promises are
happily lifted to calm the troubles of the human
heart The system of nature supports moral gov
ernment, and the doctrines and preceps of the gos-
pei have direct moral tendency. The scriptures
give clearer and fuller views of duty than could be
learned from the volume of creation and enforce the
discharge of what is incumbent upon us by the most
powerful motives: From the perversity of their
hearts, men are often inclined to lay the chief
on external rites and ceremonial observanees; but
the gospel teaches that no ritual worship can be
pleasing to God without holiness heart and life,
and that jus ce mercy and aithuness are indispen-
sable matters of the law.
Everything in the religion of Jesus, whether we
consider the dispositions which 1t recommends or the
individual and of society. In proportion to their
obedience to his precepts will be the happiness of
mankind, for in proportion to this obedience will
they discharge with fidelity all the duties incumbent
upon them their several relations of life If men
generally cherished the mind that was in Christ:
if they were just and mercitul meek and holy what
a different picture would the world present from
what it now exhibits How incalculably would the
sum of human happiness be increased! The bene-
fetal influence of Christianity its suitableness
to our nature, and strongly recommends it to our
regard.

the scheme of rebellion, and who, as a Brigadier
General served from its opening to its Close in the
Confederate army. Ex-Gen. Hays is consequently in
