Stability is jewel. Without it no ma
ton can be prosperous, or people happy.
All Governments to be stable must be
guided by steady hands. The movements
ofthe hands, Of the whole body, all our ac-
tions, proceed from the heart. These ac-
tions and movements partake Of the char
acter Of the man. The character Of the
man, for good or for evil, depends upon his
moral sentiments and education, upon the
principles Of morals which he adopts for
the rule Of his condnct. This moral edu-
cation will never be formed, or if formed,
will grow rusty. unless certain time is
devoted to its culture. No time is so ap-
posite for its culture as the Sabbath; then
the strife and wickedness of the world are
to some extent taking breath. No place
is so fitted for this moral culture as the
Sabbath meeting; for there the subject is
discussed and spoken ofin some form or OF h.
er, SO that the thoughts will be naturally
turned to the subject. All our national
prosperity, or its greater proportion, grows
out Of our religion. It is most important
then, that that religion should not retro
gade. It must be cultivated, or it will de-
cay, and no genuine religion will grow,
unless planted in moral soil. Go to
meeting, then; revise your code Of NOR
ais, see that tits perfect, love God, and
"thy neighbor as thyself."
