Sanctified gratitude is heaven begun.? The city of the living God abounds with worshippers. It resounds with hallelujahs. - .TlVo voice of angels is praise. The language of the saints is adoration. The anthems of the church below aro her resnon HC8 to (ho symphonies of the church above. Gratitudo is tho music of heaven in the soul. The full swell of the benevolence of tile Most High meets a most perfect concord in the everlasting gratitude of the redeemed . Let gratitude then abound on the earth. Let it continually actuate every believer's breast. Lotus set ourselves diligently to prayer. " Pray without ceasing," Buy a tho Apostle; and immediately adds, " in everything irive thanks: for this is tho, will nf I (Jod in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 * Th. 2 : 17, 18. Obey this command, O believer. Look around you for causes of thankfulness. Jie eagle-eyed to discern your mercies, rather than your miseries. Look not always at the dark spots in every picture, lest your mind be darkened like them. Fix your e.ycsalsoon the bright and beautiful, that I your mind may reflect their image. Let ; the one teneh you to pray. Let the other teach you to pruigo. The tide of gratitude increases as it flows. It rises higher, and higher, both before and around us, and extends itself widely on every side. When wo render thanksgiving to our God and Saviour for one mercy, the second presents itself to view; then a third; then a fourth ; then others successively arise, and roll in upon our remembrance. The goodne&j and the mercy of me i/om arc uko tue mighty deep, unfathomable. His nets of love are %s the occan waves, innumerable; ami innumerable, therefore, should be our acts of thanksgiving: " My soul, in planning wonder lost, Thy various lovu Burvcj'8, Whero shall my grateful lipH begin?
