GLORIOUS THEMES.

brighter than the light, fresher than the
fountains, deeper than the seas are all these
Gospel themes. Song has no melody, flowers
have no sweetness, sunset sky has no color
compared with these glorious themes. These
harvears Of grace spring up quicker than we
can sickle them. kindling pulpits with their
fire and producing revolutions with their
power, lighting up dying beds with their glo-
ry, they are the sweetest thought for the
poet, and they are the most thrilling illustra-
tion for the orator, aud they offer the most
intense scene for the artist, and they are TO
the ambassador of the sky all enthusiasm.
Complete pardon for direst guilt Sweetest
comfort for ghastlest agony. Brightest hope
'Or gIiIamest death. Grandest resurrection
