| places in our hearts.-Tholuck.
Gods laws were never designed to be

The most trying of surroundings the
severest reverses Of fortune, the Sorest
of sorrows, cannot rufile the depths OF q
soul that is filled with the fullness Of
Cod. f. c. Sawyer.
Not a single faithful word is ever ut
tered that does not repeat itself IN
echoes till &c reaches the throne OF God.

The Bible is the rule, the direction by
which man is to work out his own SAL
walton, as the guide aboard is the direc-
ton by which he is to walk out his
Journey. Religion is in the man, or 1t
