Excerpt from The Morning Watch, Vol. 4: Or, Quarterly Journal on Prophecy, and Theological Review With a 'oy like this, man's being began; when Adam, the image of 0d, held unabashed communion with his Creator, and saw in every object of creation the perfect impress of God reading in each some lesson; seeing in every one some index directing him to the Source of all good, in whom his best affections centred teaching him to love the Lord his God with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might. And this primeval joy we delight' to contemplate, and instino tivel crave, not only when the soul is vexed with the storms of a fallen world, and. Driven by its miseries to desire a place of refuge where the wicked cease from troubling, and where the weary shall be at rest but we feel it also in the most prosperous circumstances, and in the purest and noblest exercises of the soul proving that a destiny of higher dignity than the present is the roper end and appointment of man. 0 thou Sun and Life otpsouls, shed abroad thy light and vital heat - the belief of the truth of unseen things, and the love of their superlative ood ness - in the minds and hearts of men; that they may not rame to themselves an imaginary happiness in the enjoyments of this perishing life, but with al zeal and vigour in their affections and actions seek after the real blessedness of the world to come, as becomes an object so glorious and eternal.
