To them it is the source of the greatest , indeed , their only consolation , that they are enabled confidently to believe that all the appointments of their God are wise and good : that they are the effects of

      unerring wisdom , and unbounded love and mercy combined to promote the best interests of his rational , dependent creatures ; therefore , the will of the Lord be done ! The Hev . L . Lewis deli vered an excellent and impressive sermon on the Sunday evening ; after the interment , from Jeremiah xlix . 11 , to a crowded and attentive congregation .
