CONCLUSION. 497 



overpowered and worked into weariness, but it is 

 admiration at the wisdom, and reverence for the bene- 

 ficence of Ahuighty power. He who ' dwelleth in 

 the light which no man can approach unto ; whom no 

 man hath seen, nor can see,' is yet visible in his per- 

 fections through the works of his hand, and his 

 designs are made manifest in the purpose of his 

 creatures. Wherever our lot is cast, into whatever 

 scenes our wayward impulses lead us, the mind- 

 illumined eye gazes on divine things, and the spirit- 

 stirred heart feels its pulses bounding with emotions 

 from the touch of an ever-present Deity. The habit 

 that sees in every object the wisdom and the goodness 

 as well as the power of God, I may speak of, as Cole- 

 ridge speaks of the poetical spirit, ' It has been to 

 me an exceeding great reward ; it has soothed my 

 afflictions ; it has multiplied and refined my enjoy- 

 ments ; it has endeared my solitude ; and it has given 

 me the habit of wishing to discover the good and the 

 beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me.'" 



" Great are thy works, Jehovah ! infinite 

 Thy power ! what thought can measure thee, or tongue 

 Relate thee ? " 



FINIS.
