But the terrors of death are the prelude to that everlasting wo which is denounced (and who would make the experiment whether the denuncition will be executed?) as the portion of transgressors, of those who despise the riches of God's mercy in Jesus Christ.

Oh, then, my Christian brethren, cultivate, by reading the word of God, by meditation, by prayer, by attention on all holy ordinances, your faith in God's mercy through Christ. In proportion to the strength of this faith will be the peace of your conscience, the power of holiness in your souls, your superiority to the changes and sorrows of the world, your composure and hope in death, and your felicity through endless ages. Believe in God, through Jesus Christ, and let not your heart be troubled.

THE END.
