that the old man was instrumental in the conversion of all these persons, yet the fact is one of the most remarkable that has been developed in the progress of Christianity. 5. Effect upon his happiness. In a social meeting of the church where he worships, I heard him make such an expression as this: 'I have rejoiced but once since I trusted in Christ--that has been all the time.' His state of mind may be best described in his own characteristic language. One day he was repairing his fence. An individual passing addressed him: 'Mr. ----, you are at work all alone.' 'Not alone,' said the old man, 'God is with me.' He said that his work seemed easy to him, and his peace of mind continued with scarcely an interruption. I saw him at a time when he had just received intelligence that a son who had gone to the south had been shot in a personal altercation in one of the southern cities. The old man's parental feelings were moved, but he seemed, even under this sudden and most distressing affliction, to derive strong consolation from trust in God. 6. Physical effects of the moral change. As soon as his moral nature had undergone a change, his body, by sympathy, felt the benign influence. His countenance assumed a milder and more intelligent aspect. He became more tidy in his apparel, and his 'thousand pains,' in a good measure, left him. In his case, there seemed to be a renovation both of soul and body. This case is not exaggerated: the old man is living, and there are a thousand living witnesses to this testimony, among whom is an intelligent physician, who, hearing the old man's history of his feelings, and having known him personally for years, the obvious effects which the faith in Christ had produced in this case, combined with other influences by which he was surrounded, led him seriously to examine the subject of religion, as it concerned his own spiritual interest. By this examination he was led to relinquish the system of 'rational religion' (as the Socinian system is most inappropriately called by its adherents), and profess his faith in orthodox religion.
