be invested with all the splendors of Omnipotence. He who was arraigned at the bar of Pilate, will then be exalted on the throne of heaven. How then can you neglect him, and expect to escape with impunity? Despise not the overtures of his mercy, neglect not his great salvation, but embrace it, that he who will be your final Judge may be your friend, and receive you into his everlasting kingdom. May God grant that this may be the happy lot of us all, through JESUS our LORD. Amen.

THOUGH I HAVE ALL FAITH, SO THAT I COULD REMOVE MOUNTAINS, AND HAVE NOT CHARITY, I AM NOTHING.-1 CORINTHIANS, xiii. 2.

CHARITY is an exalted virtue. As it implies love to God, and man, it connects us with heaven and earth, and prepares us for both. Involving the most laudable and vigorous propensity of our nature, it is commensurate with our existence. Charity in its full extent comprises all true religion. So far as it respects active beneficence to our fellow creatures,it will cease with time; so far as it respects holy affection to our creator, it will glow with a flame which eternal ages cannot extinguish. Many of the christian gifts and graces are limited to the present world. No mansions are allotted them in heaven, because, there they can have no exercise, no use, and no object. "Charity never faileth; but whether there be prophecies they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away." "Now abideth faith, hope, charity; these three, but the greatest of these is charity." Faith and hope, live and grow by the absence and remoteness of their objects. These virtues of course must be absorbed and lost in enjoyment. Charity is greater. Derived from God and fixed upon him;
