God uses this kiad of eonn trail it j
uftra. There are more, far more,
whose hearts are entangled in the J
meshes of some sweet home affection,
and so caught in the Lard’s net, than
there are dragged by ropes of argu
meut and chnius of syllogisms into
the kingdom. Go«l has given to al
aMist every one this love ; natural
affect ions, the fellowship of congeal
al sympathies, the tender iatimade* |
of friendship, She swetotaess ai love,
we all share ia these. WM not God
require fruit of such gifts ?
