304 ON THE HUMAN FACULTIES, &C. 



not, for one moment, remove from the mind, that 

 innate and conscientious sense of right and wrong, 

 which blends itself with all its actions, and 

 calls forth a dread of consequences from some 

 superior power to our own, when our feelings 

 dictate to us, that those actions are at variance 

 with what we know to be right. 



In confirmation, we may safely aver, that in 

 no part of the world to which man has had 

 access, however obscure the subject may appear 

 in some few countries, where, from our igno- 

 fance of the people and language, the real 

 sentiments of the natives have been but faintly 

 understood, has a religious feeling been wanting; 

 and whether that feeling be displayed in animal, 

 or in human sacrifices in the worship of stones 

 or of other natural substances of the sun or of 

 any the planetary bodies in bowing to idols or 

 in humbling ourselves before the great Unknown, 

 by whom all things are regulated it is equally 

 in each, and in all, an acknowledgement of a 

 superior power, whose influence is felt, and fear- 

 ed of a sense of right, and wrong and of a 

 dread of punishment, when our consiences tell 

 us, that wrong has been permitted to prevail, 

 over the dicates of right, 



FINIS.
