 V . TJielife and character of this tenerabie man, alsd teach «i 
 
 . t^e importance and value of a good eiarople. It is a miktAm 
 fest pr<K>f of tru« religion, and of a heart " right with God, 
 and sound in all his statntei." An eiample like his, has a 
 
 I proportionable eflecl upoii the* world, and often excites r«« 
 gard where It docs ^ot produce t^on(oTmity. In all ages the 
 
 . wicked have revered the character of a good man, and havo 
 
 beeni awed by Jt, Into the belief of the sanctity ^f truth; In 
 
 tlij^se Instances in which they have not leafned t0 imitate, they 
 
 Ijave at least learned to regard it ; and liavf often been pr'e- 
 
 • tented from sbi, when it has appeared before them^ 
 
 ^e advantage of religion to the indlvlduil Is (reat. Thero 
 ;• Is an Inseparable conn^tion between a holy life, and a hapi* 
 . yy death. Gl>d has linked them together, iuy) what God kaa 
 joined let no man separate. If wo would leave thf world in 
 ' p«ae<B, and^die well, we must Ilv4 like CbrlstlAns. <* Bles*d 
 are the dead #hich die iii the Lord, even m| saith the Spirit, ' 
 wind their Works do follow them.'* No man can reasonably . 
 f;^>ect to die in peace ) or finally to receive admission into 
 h^Ten, who b«s not previously learned to *' follow after hoi. ' 
 liness, without which no man shall see the Lord." Whilo 
 wickedness brings wiih it its various distresses, piety secnrea' 
 Its reward ;- and even amid clouds and darknesses will exhU 
 bit a character, ta which mere nature will aspire in vain. 
 
 On* thing also is peculiarly obviooi. Religion matures ta. 
 leilts, which' would otherwise have languished In embrro. 
 Many a man has been called.from obscurity to occupy a ajai>- 
 . tinguished jx>st in the Church of Christ, whose ener^gles would, ^ 
 but for such a circumstapce, have been lost to the world. ■ 
 lliis probably was Mr, Joins' case. To religion he owed c* '' 
 / very thing, and to. its interests he wu gratefully devoted.
