BRoTnsRLy Lcvs.-We greatly fear that
our Lords rev commandment. has not that
place in the hearts Of His people in these
times which it ought to have. There is in
deed much to DO thankful for. Tho Gospel
10 widely preached; religious knowledge is
being rapid, increased and many persons
are devoting themselves to works Of true
philanthropy but notwithstanding this,
there is room for large increase Of broth
srly love. There are divisions amongst US
which cannot be justified; there is dis
position to disregard each others feelings,
and to ignore each Others efforts in the
cause Of relgion. which is inconsistent with
the spirit ot The Gospel. There ais reig-
ious men who are too obviously lovers OF
their own ives, when very Slight atten-
ton TO the precspts Of Christianity would
teach them that in lowincss of mind each
should este.m o hers better than themselves.
Hence, men give sn undue prominence to
their own views and plans, W hich is unbe.
coming in itself, and certainly Goes not ~
ill the law OF Christ. Sermons for
