Fine weather, the reputation of the preacher, and a touch of the spirit of devotion, induced the writer to attend divine service at St. Paul’s Church, Broadway, on Sunday,'Nov. 3, in the year of grace 1844. God is great, we said, and Paul was the prince of his apostles; to the Church of St. Paul we will go, for by all accounts the mantle of thatgreat teacher of the Gentiles has fallen upon the shoul- ders of this his timate successor, whose elo- quence is heard in the sacred edifice above men- tioned. There is a@ spirit of devotion abroad in November. Mark, as yougoalong, the transparent sky of the “Indian Summer,” and awake to hope ! Contemplate the falling leaf, the denuded tree, and remember that flesh is as the grass; survey the de- composed foliage, and forget not that you, like it, are subjects of mortality. Thus were employed our thoughts on our way to the house of preaching —figuratively denominated the house of prayer; and as we take no part with either side in the fierce war of politics, no interruption was given to the serious current of our thoughts, until the bell of St. Paul’s proclaimed its proximity, and the sexton po- litely informed us that we could take a seat on the gallery, provided we could happen to find one. The church was very full, particularly in those parts where occupants could be well seen. There did not appear to be any anxiety prevalent to see the preacher. During prayers, it is fair to suppose that we saw nothing but our prayer book, and as theinterval was short between our arrival and the commencement of the service, no description of the interior of the church, or the audience, willbe afforded at present. The reader, then, is respect- tully solicited to procure a common prayer book, and todevoutly read the morning service, remem- bering to be most earnest and fervent in reading those words of the Litany which prays for a happy deliverance,not only from “‘all false doctrine, here- sy andschism,” but also, from ‘pride, vain glory, and hypocrisy”—and by so doing he will save us the trouble of inserting the prayer here, and prepare us to present the SERMON—BY REV. DR. HIGBIE. Isaiah, 8 chapter, part of 20th verse—‘ Zo the law and (® the testimony” The instrumentulity employed in the salvation of man by the Christian religion is un institution of God. It is the ohiect of special revelation. It is not to be found ip the ordinances ef nature or human reason. It would not have been given had the ministry of nature been aufticient to eradicate the errors ef human reason, and to heal man’s wounded heart. It is in harmony with the moral law given to man at his creation ; and as it was continually proclaim: ed to him by his reason and the voice of nature in his state of innecence/and purity, it is: identical with that of reve- lation. ‘ Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all th: heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, and with thy strength,” was the commandment given to man ; and to this hour the works of God in creation second the teach- ing of the word of God given by inspiration from hea- yen. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God ;” this is the first and great comm: ent; and the second is like unto it:—" Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself ;” on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. But if this law, as establish- odin puregreason, be tbe same as that proclaimed by reve- lation, why is revelation necessary? Why should the law, written and engraved us it were on the essence of things,be presented anew, and without change or audition bem e subject of special revelation ? cause man rh state of existence ; his reason has been deprived of its strength and purity ; the beautiful arrange- mentsofnature have been broken up and confused, and il and sin written on the depraved and alienated hearts of herchildren, But the question now referred to is, if ed by nature and reason be the ; it revelation exhibits it without state of purity man had the law pure and ow, in 9 state of sin, shall the mee republi- law secure his obedience ? Now, bretheren, ef tha imatevnmontulity’ i again tn the wn thie DME Ey the Christian religion, which 1 sald was eh institution of God, which reason did not discover, and which could not be found in any of the ordinances of na- ture. The moral laws re-established by revelation. But the simple re-establishing of it would not have availed anything. We needed mercy—we needed pardon and health and strength restored to vs, as well as knowledge communicated tous. We needed a special interposition from the hand of Him who created us, to raise us from our fall—to restore to us acapacity to comprehend and bow to the divine law. For this purpose the great scheme of introduced, and this great scheme is the subject of revelation—the incarnation of the Son of God, his cross and passion, his precious death and burial, his glorious resurrection and ascension, and the coming of the Holy Ghost. The Church set in order by his wiedom and pewer—washed by his blood—the minis- try of his church duly appointed to christianise the world through all ages and times—the holy sacraments pleced within the open doers of hia church os a fountain tor sin and uncleanness, and to show forth his death and coming,and whatever our Saviour did or suffered, carried chia divine in truction f¢ ove whatever nature or reason can teach, and cal throughout the earth, and eause our corrupt race to be caised from the regions of the tomb to the happi- ness of heaven. But why should any one think it necessary to illustrate, before a Christian audience, that scheme of man’s salvation as made known to us exclusively by revelation ; that it came not unto us by reason or nature, but that holy men of old spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, and that “ God, who, at sundry times and in div manners spake in Umesjpast unto the fathers by the Prophets, hath to these Jatter times spoken unto us by his son, Jesus Christ our Lord” Why is it necessary to illustrate that truth ? be- caure my brethren,there is a tendencyin you through the temptations of the world to depart from this truth, to set ap the will of man above the will of God, and the ordi- nances of man above the ordinances of God. We have inspired words of revelation—the Holy Bible pro- claiming the divine scheme of salvation, and the blessed ministry of Jesus Christ, and they are teo lightly beli ed, held fast with too little watchfulness on our part. say wo are too prone to raise the wisdom of man al chat which cometh from above, and through men ap- pointed to act as channels of the holy oracles of God, and fcom generation to generation, administer the truths and comforts of religion, and irom the altar warn the world ot sin, of righteousness, and of judgment to come.— Brethren, let us continually call this to our remembrance; let us endeavor to keep it in our hearts, so that it may influence us in our lives. The whole subject of revelation is its own teacher; it has its own pecu iar teaching and facts which are not to be found elsewhere. It has its own mode and rules, distinct iro every other department of the providence of God. It has supreme authority in its own high sphere ; never in- terfering with other departments of God's providence, and never permitting interference ; but it isin harmony with them—for all things originating with God are in harmony. But it has its distinct truths, which are to be received and cherished, although all others were to be disregarded. Nothing can be taken away from this sys- tem ; nothing modified by human authority, or through any other law. It came to repeat to posterity wh: stems needed, 10 relieve them from bed mot pel does not resent amere sy vl instruction ; but is put forth by Divine power as - sible maniiestation of the son of God ; it accomplished that which is not in mere nature to attempt. Man fell from his purity when capabie of obedience to Divine law; the Gospel comes when he is incapable of ebedience, to raise him up, to restore to him peace and purity; when in the valley of the shadowjof death, the | Comes to his comfort. It finds him among the tomb:, and raises him to immortality. It is the instrument of @ new creation, awakened thé slumbers of the grave with the voice of an archangel and the trump of . The services and min- istry of the gospel are therefore not to be regarded by us simply as channels of rational effects, of moral lessons and symbolic rites, but as channels of God’s power,giving light to the bodies and souls of men, and obeying purely in all their parts the faith and sacraments ef Christ him- self. The faith of a what is it? Does it en orce ine morality? Surely it dees; but it does so ny one searches after it as after ¢ world, and as in mere haman It is not in the form of rinciples concerning the nature of God and the duty of man, or following our own reason- ings that the truth of the ,ospelisffound. Its wisdom and power consists in this, that it brings God in the person of our Redeemer, and ‘we know what he does for us; we hear his’ gentle voice, and feel that he will ‘ive us truth and happiness and eternal lite. ‘he power, wisdom and deeds of Christ must be betore us and in us, We must have.pure thoughts of the truth of Christ, or we eannot be sure that it will be accompanied by his spirit ; for it is by the truth that we must be en- lightened, for no man can say that Cx know Chriat with. out the aid of the Holy Ghost. “To the law and to the dear brethren. It is the faith of Christ, lient these les- may be, and that faith we must have pure ; and to have it pure w: only to receive it ascording to the mode of transmission established by Christ himself; only as it comes to us through the long line of witnesses ex- tending from the present to him; only engraved, as it were, by his own hand on that pillar and ground of truth more hardthan adamant—the scriptures, which his wis- dom implanted in this world of change. The fioly Seri tures contain the word of truth and of Christ. Would that we could «ct on this and feel it more. And, brethren, through whom, and according to whose authority do we receive these scriptures? Who has been instrumental in transmitting them from one ge- aeration to another? Who has transcribed and translated out of the various tongues these Scrip- tures? Who gives them to you today as we read them in our mother tongue? Who has watched over the translation and transmission of them? Who bears wit- they have not been interpo- merous heresies which have of & Apostles 1— 2 A God’s law to be honored | scripture with which heterodoxy would t our holy faith? Isany mere human authority sufficient to thisend? ‘To whom can we look as capable ot being entrusted with our scripture—as worthy to bear witness in a case which involves our salvation? To whom has higtory and tact commanded us to k ? Surely we con put ourtrust in none but those men in whose official ca pacity, and unbroken succession have been sustained by Christ himself—who have been commanded to preach the Gospel to every creature, and with whom he has promised te be present to the end of the world. Surely we know what we do. We do, indeed, consider that we cast the authorit the Bible in the d away, as well as the faith once delivered to the saints, when particular we depart from the law and the testimony; and w: forget, as we too often do, that the Church of Christ is the faith, and that in all the world her inspired exposit the pillar and ground of truth, The revelation of the Bi- ble is the only divinely sppointed rule; we cannot change it to any mode or rule of human systems, with any See of preserving the blessings it is calculi 0 with the faith, sacraments and gospels They must be sucraments and hist or they cannot be instrumental in giving us the blessings they were appointed to give. They are so only by virtue of his power, and there cannot be the least min- istration of authority of man. Men may meke symbols, rites and ceremonios as they please; they may send others to the ends of the earth to proclaim what they will; yet, however impressive or solemn, they are still only rites oi men. Surely it would be wrong to call these m: of Christ; and would it not be worse to hold, that feeble man thus appointed to go forth to preach, could expand the wo d of ‘him who died for our redemption. ‘The gos- pel does not want human aid, and when we think ours needed, it would be well for us to wait until it is aske No help is asked from us by him who holds the gospel, as well asthe ordinances of nature,ging his hand. Surely, then, it 1s sufficient to prepare its own way. Any attem) to interfere with it, by human piilesaphy or human legis. lation, will be nugatory ; and the interference of any au- thority, other than its own, is as it this little planet, the earth, should assume the place of the sun for the purpore of lighting the heavens. The church, then, my breth eren, is our authority. The scheme‘of our redemption is a divine institution of God—borrowing dignity, power and efficacy from God. Our faith in the ministry must be certain evidence must be such are sure of, or we can never be sure of receiving it r its benefits. Then, brethren, let us all re’ ce the divine appoint- ment. Poor human reason , from day to di treat with derision the Gespel, because we do not happen to deserve the particular benefit of some law or ordinance, or becunse they do not nnderstend how the precise ef- fect is to be produced ; but in doing so we adopt the principle which is destined to make us forsake the entire christian scheme of salvation. We are not to be sceptic although we may not in some instances sve the ‘adap ation of means to an end. Abana and Pharphar, are they not more mighty, said Newman, than all the rivers ot Judea; sud the conclusion of the leper, that he should wash in them, was entirely the true one, according to his reason; buthed Naaman, the Syrian, not listened to the command of God, and persevered in h.s natural conclu- sion, he would have remained a leper till his dying day Faith in the appointment of God in all things, great and littl 18 the power of God unto I have discerned God's coun- sils, and entered into an understanding of his wisdom— then may we expect to grasp the fullness of apel in our little understandings. May God keop our epirits in 6 state of humility and lowlinese, end may we learn to thank him for his revealed truths; may he make us wil- ling to hear the gospel, and the glorious truths of our Sa- viour, which make revelation to be indeed, glad tidings of grvat joy—and now to Godthe Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, be ascribed all the might, majes- ty, and dominion, now and forever.

Nor is the building mentioned any way a disgrace to other equally splendid tem- ples devoted to religious worship in the neighbor- hood. Perhaps not so capacious as some ot them, but vieing with them in neatness of style in exte- rior appearance, and for elegance and chasteness of finish and furnishing, in the interior, and may be classed as quite equal to any of them. The building is somewbat in the Gothic style, without buttresses, constructed of roughfaced dark trap stone, having a lofty square tower in the cegtre of the front. The entrance is at once chaste and convenient—over the centre door, within the portico leading to the body of the Church, 18 a marble tablet, bearing an inscription of the date of erection, &c. On each side of this are two other doors, leading to the aisles, close to which are stair cases leading to the gallery,which, together with the landing above, are beautifully carpetted From this latter part there are lurge folding doors opening into the gallery of the church. The effect upon a stranger, when he first entere, is at ence pleasing, but illusive. The root is painted in imitation of the groins of gothic roofs, and round the sides, and at the back of the pulpits, or reading desk, are imitations of the pil- jars and aisles of a large gothic building; and so beautiful is the work executed, as regards the perapective, that it isnot until some time after- wards, the party can dispel the illusion, that he is not in a building quadruple the size. The organ is placed over the entrance; opposite, at the other end of the building, is placed the pulpit or reading desk, more in the shape of a raised platform than any thing else, capable of holding some three or tour persons,on which are some beautitul crimson-cover- ed chairs. The different pews around are all well carpeted, and furnished with cushioned footstvols, &e., will avery rent attention to ease and comfort. This building is occupied by a body of Unitarians—persons who believe in the Divinity of God alone, under the ministry of the Rev. Dr. Dewey, one of the ablest, and most talented men in the connexion. The gentleman is tall, of com- manding figure, rather dark complexion, with a good voice; he uses but little action, but what he uses is both graceful and correct. | Sunday was one of the most beautiful days that was ever enjoyed during an Indian summer; the sun shone forth most Bloriously, enlivening and glad dening all around ; the bells appeared to sound a sweeter tone than usual on such like occasions, and there was scarcely wind sufficient stirring to display the many beautiful feathers with which se- veral of the ladies’ hats were adorned—in short, it was just sucha day asman and woman like todisplay their best, and in accordance with the sunshine smile on all around. There could not be a finer day selected for the display of the most recent fall fashions, and the show was just what might be expected—there might be seen some of the finest specimens of Foster & Livingston’s senshinevenpbnveie; which only a tew d since raced their establishment, together vast folds of silksand satins. Nor were the lades alone the only parties desirous of displaying the latest fashions. There might be met with some of our most fashionable Broadway lotngers, displaying their most recent fashionably cut coat, satin stocks, and beatiful French kid gloves; with hair and whiskers trimmed in the most approved goatish, bearish, or outlandish and unnatural style possible —eneugh to frighten half the children in the city to sleep at the first sight. The morn- ing was suchf as to dispel many a heead- ache, and other species of indisposition, with which ladies are frequently assailed when the time arrives for going to church, particularly when there is nothing new to dieplay, orpnovelty expect- ed from others. On this occasion there was the new Gro de Nap dress which Mad. Godfrey sent home at a late hour the ene evening to be displayed, the dear thing that William had so long promised ; or pa’s last birthday gift, and it would be a pity not to show it on this occasion, as there might not be such another opportunity this season. Thenvagain,it wasa very good oppertunity to show the very handsome ostrich feather that cousin George presented me with,et which Mad’lle Bouil- lon said there was not its equal in the city; be- sides, George will go with me, and no doubt the Hendricks will be there, and Miss Kmelina will wear the splendid figured Satin dress which her uncle, or some one else, recently sent her from ih,atthe upper end of Waverly Place, is aces of worship with hat end ofit, abounds, ‘a These, and like thoughts,were soon dispelled by the beautiful full tones of the organ the commencement of the servi was sung by the choir in very excellent style; the congregation arose, butas they paid others to sing, they appeared to think that there was no occasion for them to join in this sacred and soul gira portion of religious wor- ship; except, indeed, the minister, whose fine full barritone voice might be distinctly heard min- gling with thoge of the choir. Those present held their books m the most graceful style possible, at the same time with eyes evidently more intent upen those around, than on the words of the sacred song before them. After the rustling of silks and satiny had somewhat subsided, the Rev. Gentleman reag a me of the holy scriptures {rom John viii. 12, which was succeeded by a beautiful and most im- pressive extemporaneous prayer delivered in such 4 solemn and chaste tone of voice as could not but tocorrupt | cause the most devout attention of all that were Then followed the beautitul hymo, “ Agoip the morn of life and light Dawns on all around.” Which was performed in a very similar style to the former, and treated with just as much noncha- lance by the congregation. The Rev. Dr. Dewey then proceeded to take his text The Sermon, John vii. 46—“Never Man spake as thie Man” It ia to be wondered at whether we have understood the gospel—whether we understand Jesus Christ in the simplicity of his character; it is to be doubted that we do so understand him, or our sections and conduct would be very different and lead us to much more happiness in this world than we ut present enjoy. Now, the whole of the gospel shouid be treated os we felt it—us the whole book of human experience tells us it ought to be felt. Now how ought we to feel it? Tue gospel speaka to us in terms easily understoed by those who are desirous of so ‘oing, but we know not what it is only by the interest that we fvel in it. ‘he portion of scripture is mor- ning,fully illustrates this,aud it was this thal hrist speak of himself when in converse with his disciples Another view might be taken of the words of the text— that is their applicability to the end and aim of Christiani- ty, and to our present and future well being. Now, if we only study these words, there is no knowing what they might lead to. ‘The uncultivated savage knew whet hese and cold were, but be did uve know what the former would produce as regarded the luxuries‘and necessaries of life, So it wes with some christians; they dd not know the full extent snd value of the gospel until they prac- tised its dictates and commands; they do not know what the gespel can do to support them in the most trying situation of life, when theywere necking but could not find it ; they were, Like outcasts, present. wandering up and down seeking where they might get reat. They sometimes think of the hand wonder if it would make them happy,but they never try it Were the Saviour tu come on the sarth, look into eur hearts, it is to be feared that he would not find the truth of his words in one of us, and it was this that made so much difference between us and him. He showed us while on earth, what this was, both in bis life and actions, and how it Jed to comfort in all difficulties. Then lct us look to the Saviour in all his sufferings and triale—he who su!- fered as man never suffered, be'ore er siace—in ail the forms that we are liable to, but to a much greater extent yet we do not bear our trials as he did. If we are assail- ed by wrongs— if our good name is blasted by the tongue ot infamy—if the ‘airfeme of e friend is isjured by the evil and malicious, what is it wedo? We seek for re venge even to the shedding of blood in a duel. Now, is there no other way to remedy the wrath and venom of this world? Does society not know what is the value of meekness and forbearance ? From the wpposite custom of society, man is often obliged to do violence to his own feelings, from the fear of seciety deeming him @ coward. Yet this wes @ line of conduct most to be despised. We often hear eomplaints of the desertion of friends in the hour of trouble and necessity Yet this complaint has ever existed; even Jesus himself E isciples—one denied him in the hour of trial; another stood aloot from him in his bitterest moment, and only one stood by him at the foot of the cross—him alone, and three of the gentle sex—and to their honor it is recorded of them—stood by him in his last moat trying hour. This is the lot of every man, and it may be expected from the play-ground of childhood tothe last hour ef mature uge. This, no doubt, is hard to bear, and can only be borne as Christ bore it, and we have him for an example and guide, who suffered as never man sufered; yet man did not understand it. Man goes on from day to day, complaining and exclaiming against life, and stating that death would be better than thus to live. They did not know whether they were re: to die, but they knew there was nothing worth living for. ‘Thus was man’s sufferings—pain, disgust, want,idiegrace, and peril, Kept him in bons to the very en these are the things which made man weary of life. The world af- forded little or no shield to man in these difficulties, and therefore, if he es for peace, he must look to higher authority. How did the Savior treat these things With the exception of some few he never repined—"‘ he was led like a lamb to he opened not his mouth din all his t and suffering, all was cheerfulness with him. In his conversation with John, relative to his departure from among his disciples, he gave them every comfort and consolation in their affliction. The Rev gentlenan pro- ceeded to take a view of the trials and sufferings of Christ —his conduct throughout towards his enemies, revilers and persecutors—and strongly inculcated.the necessity there was for us to imitate his conduct in the hour of trial and tribulation, and illustrated his arguments with many ions from the Scriptures. He said that manjwas to mourn, and Scripture expressly declared, Blessed are they that mourn,” provided we bore it Christ did. The vubject of life was not to accum' Tiches—tu have owr tables spread with all the luxur possible—but to have good faith with Jesus, which, if we possessed onlyas much as agrein of mustard seed, it would smooth our path through this life, and prepare us better for another. We should bear with one another and suffer for one another, even as Jesus did, then we shall be saved indeed—ihe of life would be made smooth—and then there would be anew heaven and anew earth. With Christ we must die—not as he died-—but all must die ; and if we only act as he did, it would lead to happiness on earth and teach us to live forever. The Rev. Gentleman concluded a very eloquent discourse, by returning thanks to God for having given us the preaching and example of our Lwrd Jeans Christ. A hymn, commencing :— “ My dear redeemer and my Lord, Tread my duty inthy word.” Was sung in beautiful style by the very power- ful choir. After which, the Rev. Gentleman gave out a few notices and an invitation to all, that were seriously disposed so to do, to remain and partake of the sacrament which was about to be administered, and atter a briet prayer, the congre- gation broke up, with the exception of about a fifth of the more aged members, who remained to partake of the sicrament; the others appearing to be quite satisfied with having displayed their jewel- ry, teathers, silks, satins and cashmere shawls to the fullest extent, and, therefore, an easy lounge or ride home remained only to be done. The Brick (Presbyterian) Church. This is a neat and simply constructed edifice, built in the immediate vicinity of the Park, and is attended by a highly fashionable congregation. The form of worship is extremely simple, and totally divested of all pomp and ceremony. The Rev. Dr. Sprina, who presides over the congrega- tion, is a gentleman of acknowledged acquirement, and well adapted for the duties of his calling. His style of address from the pulpit is remarkably im- pressive, and wins its way to the heart, armed with the simple truths of the Gospel, totally free from that narrow-minded prejudice, which is incom- patible with true religion. The Rev. divine de- livered, on Sunday, a solemn and impressive dis- course, taking his text from the Ninty-first Psalm, 16th verse—' With long life will I satisfy him, and show himmy salvation.” commenced— My beloved friends, this life which oat’ has given us will not last tor ever God has imposed on our existence duties which we are bound to perform, and it is not known to be properly appre- ciated, the’ blessings which the Creator has conferred upon man, in order to advance his tempora wellare, andenable him to work out his salvation. There are in- stances in which human life is‘perverted,and the gifis and graces conferred by God ure abused. The text declares in these words—"' With long life am | satisfied,” The sub. ject of the present discourse relates to the goodne: God in preserving human life. The love of life is an in- nate principle of our nature—it is unden that there is @ natural instinct in the soul which gives incontestible proof of the love of lif disinclination to be severed irom the loves, and hopes, and influences of Christianity ‘There ia no subject that fills the mind with deeper sol nity, or that throws around it # stronger proof of th mediate agency by which that instinctive love of Ii verns man, than the subject which we have befos on this day. Him who formed the soul—and that corpo- ral form, which once was heautiful and fair—now #0 low and wicked—the victim of melancholy errors and suffer- ing ander the sentence of the great judge for ns gressions, that does not possess an innate idea that death is not the end of his being. This opinion is streugthened by time, and we look forward with hope to immortality All the objects and concerns of this world will vanivh at that solemn hour when death closes our existence—they will pass from us—and whatever of character we possess — whatever may be the measure of our transgression, we shall have afinal judgment thereon on the day we die. ‘We shall certainly kuow our final, ‘estiny—our doom in eternity —immediately after death. The wicked on that day willenter upon his unalterable doom—when evi , glam of hope snail vanish, T' fl then find all jopes in christianity to fail, because of his tranagressing the divine precepts of the gospel. The jonete principle in our nature—that instructive law of life—blinds man in error, but. it is impossible to predicate when we shall die.” The old, as well as the young, will die—in every e—whether in the ordinary course of nature—or by the malignant, hand of enemies, or under the miataken friendship of men there is none so obscure tha: do not die. The wise man dies—the Captain—the honorable man—the Councillor, and the cunning Areficer—all die—as well asthe few who pass away through the decay of nature. Human life passes away like the rapid passage of the stream ; it is like the dream which leaves behind the vision of some (incied cr eation—like the grass which has grown infull at in the morning, aod is Cut down in the evening— like the lighted candle which in @ moment is blown eut by the breath of air ; it is the most transitory thing in the werld. The Creator has taken great care of man, and av ae has destined him for happiness, so must he die, Multi ‘udes fall away in ashort space ef time, and many who have long looked for'death, are yet in the land of the liv- ing.

How the bad have a stronger hold upon the world, the wicked, the vicious end the vile— while the righteous have diec?’ How isit that the fathers of the living have seen their youthful compenions pass away, and stand almost alone smongst the younger, and have lived out so long. No reason can be found for this but she inscrutable will of God, to which we are to attri- bute this difference in human life, more than to chanee or accident. We more frequently attribute them to ne- tural causes; but God in his wisdom has destined man to fill the measure of his existence. In fislonging human life, it must be considered, that God in his wisdem: thus provides time for repentance.
