overpowered and worked into weariness, but it is 
admiration at the wdsdom, and reverence for the bene- 
ficence of Almighty 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 ? ”
