Strana 58 - Is death to be feared that will convey thee to so happy an existence ? Think not man was made in vain, who has such an eternity reserved for him." I gazed with inexpressible pleasure on these happy islands. At length, said I,
Strana 53 - to her, and she laughed at the places where she thought I was touched; I threw away your moral, and taking up her girdle cried out, Give me but what this riband bound, Take all the rest the ' sun *' goes round f. " She smiled, Sir, and said you were a pedant; so
Strana 372 - being placed at so great a distance from him. The objects do not appear little to him, because they are remote. He considers that those pleasures and pains which lie hid in eternity, approach nearer to him every moment, and will be present with him in their full weight and measure, as much as those pains

Strana 71 - our great Judge, and pass our whole life- in offending and asking pardon. On the contrary, the beings underneath us are not capable of sinning, nor those above us of repenting. The one is out of the possibilities of duty, and the other fixed in an eternal course of sin, or an eternal course of virtue.
Strana 183 - shall extend the word interest to a larger meaning than what is generally given it, as it relates to our spiritual safety and welfare, as well as to our temporal. A man is glad to gain numbers on his side, as they serve to strengthen him in his private opinions. Every proselyte VOL.
