were to give Him their whole heart? Is such an event one that is to be feared? Is it a proper object of hatred? От is it the most amiable thing under the sun? Is it not rather desirable in the highest degree? Is there anything MORE lovely, more to be desired by every child of man? Why then should you be averse to Universal Holiness? Why should you entertain any prejudice against this, or look upon it with apprehension? Can you conceive anything more excellent and desirable than this? Set prejudice aside, and surely you will desire to see it universally diffused."

"And All shall be alike like him, yet All

Unlike each other and themselves. The Earth
Shall vanish from the thoughts of those she bore,
As have the idols of the olden time
From mens' hearts of the present. All delight
And all desire shall be with heavenly things,
And the new nature God bestowed on man."

PROPOSITION FORTY-THIRD.

The Glorification of All the Souls of Men, will be the Final Achievement of Infinite LOVE.

"When creatures stray

Farthest from Thee, then warmest towards them beams
Thy Love,-ev'n as yon sun beams holiest on
The earth, when distant most."-BAILEY.

'LOVE is the Fulfilling of the Law.'-Rom. xiii. 10.--It is the Promise of the Lord, that He will put His holy LAW into every heart, and write it into every mind, that All shall Know Him, from the least even to the greatest.-Jer. xxxi. Heb. x. &c. The Redeemer came to Fulfil the Law of the Lord, and testified that heaven and earth should soon

er pass away, than that one jot or tittle of the Law should Fail.-Mat. v; Luke xvi.

The Lord is 'the God of Love and Peace.'-2 Cor. iii. 11. 'Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or sword? - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am

persuaded that neither life, nor death, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present. nor things to come, shall be able to Separate us from the Love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.'-Rom. viii. 35--39.

"The Love of Christ PASSETH ALL KNOWLEDGE.'-Ephes. iii. 19; Phil. iv. 7.

His all-sufficing precept,-was't not Love?
And to love God, we must His creatures love,
To love His creatures, both ourselves and Him.

Thus love is all that's fair, and good, and heav'nly."

(Bailey's Festus.)

"There is a golden chord of sympathy,
Fix'd in the harp of every human soul;

Which by the breath of Kindness when 'tis swept,
Wakes angel melodies in savage hearts,

Inflicts sore chastisements for treasur'd wrongs,
And melts the ice of hate to streams of love ;-
Nor aught but Kindness that fine chord can touch."

Rev. D. K. LEE.

'Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive Glory, and Honor, and Power, for Thou hast created ALL THINGS, and for Thy Pleasure they are, and were Created.'---Rev. iv. 11.

'Every one that is called by My name, I HAVE CREATED HIM FOR GLORY. I have Formed him, yea, I have Made him.' ---Isa. xliii. 7.

'In the day that God created Man, in the likeness of God made He him. Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, but in the resurrection,' said our Saviour, 'they shall be EQUAL to the angels,'] and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou mad'st him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet.'--Ps. viii. 5--7. Wherefore, hast Thou made all men, [or even any man,] IN VAIN ?-lxxxix. 47. Nay,

much more those members of the BoDy which seem to be more feeble, ARE NECESSARY.'---1 Cor. xii. 22. 'O Lord, Forsake not the Works of Thine own hunds.'---Ps. cxxxviii. 8. The Bible teaches that God created man in His own image; that is, He has endowed the human soul with a miniature transcript of His own infinite qualities, of goodness, love, pity, justice, intelligence, &c. It is often boldly asserted without proof, that Man has utterly lost the divine likeness. A passage however in the Epistle of James, (iii. 9,) entirely annihilates this assumption. Speaking of the tongue, he says, 'Therewith bless we the Father, and therewith curse we Men, which are made after the SIMILITUDE of God.' This was 4000 years after the fall,' and no one will pretend that we have lost it since.

'Thine hands have made me, and fashioned me round about, (and the inspiration of the Almighty hath given me understanding;) yet, dost Thou destroy me, [with everlas ting torture?] Remember, I beseech Thee, that Thou hast made me as the clay, and wilt Thou bring me to NOTHINGNESS? [or to what is infinitely more terrific,---endless sufferings?] Thou hast clothed me wfth skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews; Thou hast granted me life and favor, and Thy visitation hath preservsed my spirit, and these things hast Thou hid in Thine heart?' --Job x. 8--13.

'It is He that hath made Us, and not we ourselves.—Ps. c. 5. He is "THE GOD OF THE SPIRITS OF ALL FLESH.'--Numb. xvi. 22. The dust shall return to the earth as it was, but the spirit shall return unto God WHO GAVE IT.'--Eccl. xii. 7.

'O house of Israel, cannot I do with you, as this Potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the Potter's hand, so are ye in Mine hand, saith the Lord.'---Jer. xviii. 6.

Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding that I may learn Thy Commandments.'---Ps. cxix. 73.

'BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW !'-Rev. xxi. 5.

"Presumptuous man! the reason would'st thou find,
Why form'd so weak, so little, and so blind?
First, if thou canst, the harder reason guesa,
Why formed no weaker, blinder, and no less?
Ask of thy mother Earth why oaks are made,
Taller and stronger than the weeds they shade?
Or ask of yonder argent fields above,
Why Jove's satellites are less than Jove?-
Of system's possible, if 'tis confess'd
That Wisdom infinite has form'd the best,
Where all must full, or not coherent be,
And all that rises, rise in due degree,-
Then in creation's scale of life 'tis plain,
There must be somewhere, such a rank as Man;
And all the question, (wrangle e'er so long,)
Is only this, if God has plac'd him wrong
"But say not Man's imperfect, Heav'n in fault,
Say rather, Man's as perfect as he ought;
His knowledge measur'd to his state and place,
His time a moment here, a point his space."-POPE.
