rase of "commercial emporium," which is much as if one
should say "a townish town."

Roswell Gardiner has never wavered in his faith, from the time when his
feelings were awakened by the just view of his own insignificance, as
compared to the power of God! He then learned the first, great lesson in
religious belief, that of humility; without which no man can be truly
penitent, or truly a Christian. He no longer thought of measuring the
Deity with his narrow faculties, or of setting up his blind conclusions,
in the face of positive revelations. He saw that all must be accepted, or
none; and there was too much evidence, too much inherent truth, a morality
too divine, to allow a mind like his to reject the gospel altogether. With
Mary at his side, he has continued to worship the Trinity, accepting its
mysteries in an humble reliance on the words of inspired men.

The End.
