Oh how comes it, that i'll the face of all
pose convinced in this hour OF his better un-
derstanding, should be dissipated and for
gotteni Whence the night, and whence the
mystery of the spell, which SO blinds and 50
infatuates us to the world! What prompts us
to embark the whole strength OF our eager
ness and our desires in pursuit of interests
which we know few years will bring to ut
ter annihilaton, Who is it that imparts to
them all the colour of an unfading durabili-
ty? Who is it that throws such an air OF sub
tilty over these earthly tahernacles or makes
them look to the fascinated eye of man like
resting places for eternity9 Who is it that
so pictures out the objects of sense, and so
magnifes the range of their future enjoy
ment, and SO tazzles the fond and deceived
imagination, that in looking onward through
our earthly career, it appears like the vista,
or the prospective Of innumcrable ages? He
who is called the god Of this world. He who
can dress the idleness of its waking dreams
in the garb of reality. He who can pour a
seducing briliancy over the panorama of its
fleeting pleasures and vain anticipatons. He
who can turn it into an instrument of de.
ceitfulness; and make it WELD such an alb
sonte asccndency over all the affections,
that man becomes the poor slave of its ido-
latries and its charms, puts the authority Of
conscience and the warning of the word OF
God, and ,e offered instigatons of the Spi-
rit of God, and all the wisdom of his own
sound and sober experience away from him


But this wondrous contest will come to a
close. Some will return to their loyalty
and others will keep by their rebellion: and
in the day of winding up the drama Of this
worlds history, there will be made mani
fest to the myriads Of the various orders Of
creation, both the mercy and the vindicated
majesty of the Eternal. Chalmers.
