rling in toward the sun, and all because some fool hath said in
his heart there is no God? No. Our reason and our Oldest Record both
point to Eternity as our proper life, the ripening of our soul, our
comprehension of the infinite, and our better worthiness to praise God's
holy name.

CONCLUSION.

No author of a work calculated to elevate the mind and ennoble the
ambitions of mankind could aspire to a higher climax; no writer of a
series of admonitions, in escaping "a lame and impotent conclusion,"
could rest more calmly than he who, having built his tower upon the
solid duties of to-day, peers out with the great lenses of Religion,
into the hopes of the future--

"Past flaming bounds of place and time,
The living throne, the sapphire blaze,
Where angels tremble while they gaze."
