    Speaking the truth in love . —Paul . It would seem to be an almost necessary condition of the weakness of our nature that , however fully and distinctly it be revealed to us ., we should individually hold truth , not in the entire and harmonious proportions of its native form ,-but . in disjointed fragments . The bread of life came down from heaven and was

    ministered by Jesus and his Apostles in that unbroken and undiminished fulness which fits it to nourish at once the head , the heart , and the soul of man ; but scarcely was it entrusted to the guardianship of human hands , when the influence of human tastes and- aptitudes brokeTit ^ intc [ a multiplicity of parts , ana ! one professor took Paul , another Apoub ^ one the food which it offers to the mind , and another that with which it strengthens and refines the affections .

    At the present day , in adverting to the Christian world , we see reason to think that if considered as a whole , it possesses amid many corruptions the entire truth as it is in Jesus ; yet , that to no one portion of the whole belongs more than a portion of the truth ; and though in some cases the . portion possessed may be y > much greater than in others , it is equally true that those who have most need much more . In this division of the Christian world

    we see the imaginatioa in full , and sometimes "in" " baneful " activity . The heart glows , the bosom heaves , the eye is now suffused with tears , now kindled with visions of celestial brightness , but the < guidance and balance of a well-disciplined mind is wanting , and this want often occasions excesses which approach to religious delirium , disserving and dishonouring the sacred cause of God , In another division of the church , the intellect predominates ,

    Old errors are exploded / inveterate prejudices renounced , truth is freed from the trammels in which ages of ignorance had bound it , belief is apportioned to evidence , the guidance of all authority but file Scriptures disallowed , and in consequence , the faith is received hi the form in which it was , once delivered to the saints . But the labour by which this-blessing has been purchased has created ¦ Hubitg of mind that are hostile to the play of the feelings . Emotion is the peculiar heritage of those , who corrupted the gospel
