All this, however, is only preparatory to telling how the godly should proceed in their intercourse with each other.--A prophet has said that "they who fear the Lord speak often one to another;" he has added, that "the Lord hearkens and hears," and assured us, moreover, that "a book of remembrance is kept before the Lord for them that fear him and think upon his name." Now, amid such employments, what can be the topics but the common salvation? What can engross the mind more than the death which Christ accomplished at Jerusalem, when he finished transgression, made an end of sin, and brought in an everlasting righteousness? What but the love of the Redeemer, and the mercies to which that love opened the way, can occupy such men's souls? Holiness, and its author, the Spirit; grace, and its fountain, God; its channel, the Redeemer; glory, and the Almighty One who made it sure by his blood; that which is perfect "when the former things shall have passed away;"--these and kindred topics may well animate the souls and strengthen the faith of the people of God. It is amid employments like these that their hearts may burn within them, like the hearts of the disciples while they walked with the Saviour to Emmaus. It is thus that foretastes of the heavenly joys are obtained, thus that clusters are brought from Eshcol, and thus that the earnest of the purchased possession is at once secured and rejoiced in. To have a relish for such holy and hallowing employments, is a proof that we are born from above; our soul's native land is there; and to have no such relish is a proof that the soul is dead to the holiest and the noblest things. TRUTH IN THE HEART. But enough to have indicated this; none can completely fill up the sketch, for "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him." Still, however, where the truth of God is in the heart, it will well up. Attempts may be made to repress a gushing spring; but it will rise at another place, and another, and another, spreading verdure and fertility wherever it flows. Now, the truth in the heart is a well of water springing up unto eternal life. It waters the waste, it purifies the vile, and fits us for that home where nothing that defiles can enter. MARRIAGE.
