not OF contention, but Of order, and of sound
mind and OF the charity which never faleth'
the Spirit which 'maketh men to be of one
mind in house, Shall not those, therefore
who profess to follow his guidance, be 'harm-
less as doves" Shall they not cultivate the
tenderness and gentleness OF Him to whom
the Spirit was given without measure. Shall
they not put on that charity which is the
bond of perfcctness.' Shall they not re-
member they are 'brethrcr,' and see that
they fall not out by the way9' To those
who arc thus chelishing the graces OF the
Spirit, the 'Sancther' will become a Com
forter'-As the dove brought 20 Noah the in
telligcnce of the waters, so will the Heaven
ly Dove convey to the soul the glad tidings
that the tempest Of eternal wrath no longer
sweeps over her path. Oh, NAV he bring us
the olive-branch of hope and peace May
he bear witness with our spirit, that we are
the children of God! May he shake from
lis wings of silver rift and blessing which
the soul desires or needs And may all men
see that he is with MS, by the zeal of tho
| Spirit lmprest on our lives and tcmpers Al
most every object or individual, brought un-
1 der some new and powerful influence, discov-
ers by corresponding change, the force of
4 the instruments to which it is subjugatetl.
The desert awakes to life and beauty under
the beams ofthe sun. The heavenly bodies
obey the law Of gravity and move on in unin-
terrupted harmony and uncloudcd lustrc.
The poor wandering prodigal sotens under
the influence of mothers love. The slave
discovers a thousand energies and sympa-
thics and powers as ischains fall from him.
And thus in the case of every man really
brought under the influence of the Spirit,
the desert of the mind is clothed with due
virtue; the wandering heart brought back
again to God; the slave to his corruptions OF
corruption] breaks from his terrible bondage
and walks abroad in all the glorious liberty
of the children of God. The moral change,


iguratively described by the Prophet, is ac-
complished: sThe eyes Of the blind shall be
opened, and the cars OF the deaf Shall be un-


stopped: then shall the lame man leap as an
heart, and the tongue ofthc dumb sing; fol


in the wilderness shall waters break out and


streams in the DESERT A new man, in fact


arises under this new and sanctifying inlln-
cnce, clothed in the righteousness and re-


flccting the image Of his Redeemer.
