fathers in the denomination knew
that there is a short lived pleasure
connected with giddy excitement,
wild merriment, and sensual indul-
gence.
They had pondered the Apostles
pregnant words, when he spoke of
the transient pleasures of sin. In
contrast with this they set true hap
piness, the souls calm sunshine and
the heartfelt joy.
We Judge that much was said in
the Convention of the anguish which
Christ sometimes suffered. Who no.
lier than he? it was asked; and yet
he was "man of sorrows and &C
quainted with grief" But yet it may
be replied that our Lords expert
ence was unique. Who knows what
springs of sacred pleasure oft sprung
up in his heart? Have we forgot
ten his words to his Apostles, 81
have meat to eat that ye know not
Of" "Be of good cheer, 1 have over
come the world?" Angels strength
ened him in Gethsemane, and who
shall aver that God did not give him
divine strength in the hour of gravest
trial? Instructive is the case of Nero
and of Paul. The Caesar to whom
the apostle appealed was the monster
that doomed many Christian to
death. Paul's fate was in his hands.
Was Nero, master of the world as he
was, ever happy man? Did he not
die cowardly, wretched death? How
much more inspiring the Apostles
words: Il am ready to be offered; the
hour of my departure has drawn
nigh. 1 have fought the good fight;
1 have kept the faith. Henceforth
:. And who questions which
of these was the happier MANI A
good conscience, triumphant faith
has helped many a man to say, Il
glory in Affections, in prosecutions
for Christ's sake. When l am weak,
then am i strong"
In the substitute profession of
faith, we notice that the words happy
and happiness are carefully ignored.
1t seems to be supposed that it is
fault in any moral system if it seek
to induce men to lead holy lives by
the consideration that they will there
by gain happiness. But was our
Saviour a coldly utilitarian preacher
when he uttered the beatitudes?
Happy the poor in spirit; for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven" "Happy
the meek; for they shall inherit the
earth" Was Moses guilty of bald
utilitarianism when he exhorted his
countrymen to keep the mandate
of Jehovah and his laws, Switch I
commend thee this day for thy good?"
The Most High does not forbid
mans seeking happiness. So strong,
indeed, is mans love for felicity that
the Scriptures lay stress on the con-
nection between uprightness and
happiness as a powerful incentive to
godliness. "Whoso looketh into the
perfect law of liberty and contin-
ueth therein, he being not a forgetful
hearer, but a doer of the work, this
man shall be happy in the doing of
it." The Winchester Profession is
therefore soundly Scriptural. NJ. G..

We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments contain revelation of the
character of God, and of the duty, interest and
final destination of mankind.
II.
We believe that there is one God whose nature
Is Love, revealed In one Lord Jesus Christ, by
one Holy Spirit of Grace, who will finally restore
the whole family of mankind to holiness and
happiness.
Ill.
We believe thai holiness and true happiness
are inseparably connected. and that believers
ought to be careful to maintain order, and prac-
tice good works, for these things are good and
profitable unto men.
