In relation to the uncultivated race we have been surveying, may a
guarded and religious education prove to them, as the voice crying in the
wilderness: “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert
an highway for our God.” The subsequent declaration, without doubt, is
descriptive of what should be effected under the gospel dispensation:
“The crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the
glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and _all flesh_ shall see it
together; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”—Isaiah, Chap. xl. v.
3, 4, 6.
