The evil must bo tolerated; it ia on ele ment of tho conflicc to which tho Chureb, ag the body of Christ, fa approached, and by which, through tho discipline of perfect- ed faith and patiouce, aio is finally to bo puri- fiod. But, this granted, doce it thorofora follow that an admitted ovil, barely tole:nted in tho Chureh, is to bo directly indorsed and approved of, and recompoused with the most exalted houors placed at hor dispoval?

To say that the Holy Spirit of God inuplres the ote and uirects the iprocneiliniss of such a body, ia clthor tv speak under a strong delusion, or to attribute to * tho Lord and Giver of Life” an influenca strangely inconsistout with tho teachings of tho bicwsed Gospel. “Where the apinit of tho Lord iy there ts liver. ty,""—s righteous liberty, There ix candor and ingonuousness, and thesincerity and simplicityof charity; thore ivatemper of generceity and fairness; there iy a magvanlanty that rise above all cunning minuenve; there ti a senso of Justice that ia controling and profound, Mow much of this our lety Convontiva lackod, none who looked on with a vivid conception of Chirint's oxample and. toachiny bofore them nead be told, Whe sonso of incongruity was painful, and tho display to tho world injurious aud discouraging.
