Truth is always oarfUl, ula, error is. always pernicious. It eaa tain not be denied that oae system of mis, doctrines is better oaicnlated fa exdte the Mid cherish devout affections than ngs another. Nor can it be denied that r one form of worship ia better eaten* -ear lated to fbrnish incentives to the me, practice of piety than another, on. To become intelligent Christians ia no way encourages party spirit, hat sin, tlie contrary ; for it ia well kaown ■ear that ignurwuce and error are the peo- |-ou Ufa; source* of bigotry and iutule nd, nuice. And if, when “the know! r in edge of the Lord shall cover the earth, as the waters do the sea,* i on “ there shall nothiug hart nor deetroy ins, in all OotPs holy mountain,” it will sis be because of a prevalence of truth ; ted then the store truth we have ia oar do- Christianity, the lees hurtful it will d— be. It is the truth that makes ns art free ; aud the nearer we come to the the absolute truth of Godfa Word, ia oar t of belief, the freer we will be. Our great object then should he -jo know ble. the truth. Error can never supply nn- the place of truth. It eaa never pro- sec dace any good effect, bat on the caa- our trury, however small the error amy lice, be, it has a deleterious effect am the > us soul. The two are often mingled, the aud a man may be saved where truth fi it exceeds, but though he atey hold some truth, if error exceeds he eaa hu- not be. The least particle of error one retards the growth ef piety, end the e it ilevelopuiciit of the Christian graces.
