/ l advised altthe young folks to get married,
/ assigning some reasons, though somewhat
comical IN this, | shall speak of marriage
as diving institution OF Almighty God.
And the Lord God said, it is not good
that man should be alone; | will make him
q help meet for him." Gen. >, Is.
Marriage, We are informed, vas tree
planted within the walls of Paradise. This
flower first grew ia Gods garden. Then,
/ the FIRST blessing God gave to man, was
/ society; and that society was a marriage,
was confederate by God himself and halow
ed by a blessing; and at the same time, and
( for many descending ages, not only by the
( instinct of nature, but by a superadded for
/ wardness, God himself inspiring that desire.
/ In order to understand the subject, We will
/ commence at the beginning. From reading
/ the Scriptures of eternal truth we discover
! several chanue 5 i which the crystal streams
( OF Gods affection ran to man IN his creation.

there was IA consultation at htS forming. nSi
for the difficulty of the task, bat for the
dignity Of the work. The painter. you know,
Is very studIous about that which he meaHs
to make his masterpiece. When man was
formed out OF the dust Of the earih--wheu he
was moulded Heaven and Earth were married.
\ bOly from the one was espOused 10 i soul
from the other.
Secondly, in his assimilation, other crea~
lures were male ike themselves; but man
was made ! ia l,oi. IN the image OF God As
wax hath til .aa preston OF the seal upon it,
50 does nan wear .ge impress of his maker.
