as a man, implacable and malicious, he can not be a friend or a brother.

4. Let thy offerings, brother, be submitted in all simplicity and purity of heart. Imitate the patriarchs. Worship thy Maker in spirit and in truth. Call on him frequently-thou hast need of his guidance. Approach his altar in the spirit of humility and of love, and ask his blessings, not only on thyself, but on thy neighbor. So shalt thou find favor in his sight, and insure his countenance and support.

5. The patriarchs of old, who dwelt in tents, whose employment was that of shepherds, and who passed their lives in the inculcation of the social virtues, were a happy because they were a good people. Brother, imitate their pure example, and thou

shalt find the contentment which they so richly enjoyed.

6. Brother, have "Faith in God, Hope in immortality, and Charity to all mankind. The greatest of these is Charity;' for our Faith may be lost in sight; Hope ends in fruition; but Charity extends beyond the grave, through the boundless realms of eternity." The chief pillar of the temple we have reared is therefore Charity; remember, then, that on this mainly depends our superstructure, and fail not, faint not in the practice of this Godlike virtue.

CHAPTER IX.

LL things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them.

Shall a man, a unit in the universal kingdom of God, stand aloof from his fellow-unit because he may not be of the

same faith or nation as himself? Nay! The question must not be, "Is he a Christian, or is he a Jew, or a Mohammedan? Is he a European or an American, an Asiatic or African?" but, "Is he a MAN AND A BROTHER?"

Human prejudice and intolerance are and have ever been the causes of more misery in the world than all other evils combined. Be it our duty to destroy their power, by asserting and maintaining the high birthright of humanity-by regarding and treating our brother as our equal, the child of our own benevolent Father, created in like form, and bearing the same image as ourselves.

2. Let us "be just and fear not." Let us te honest. Let us never hesitate to avow our principles. Let not fear of man induce us to falsehood. Conscience should be permitted always to govern us; and as it directs, so should we ever act.
