I • quiNcv ADAMS TO lIIA SON; ON EHE BIBLE AND ITS TEACHING'S. 111. F: - Mit * ArifTit view 111:11411T11 . I have inviter' you to consider the Bible, is ii, the light of Divine Revelation. Anti what are we to- understand liy these terriA? I intend,;as much as possible, to avoid the field el con troversy, which I am not well acquainted with. arid for which 1 Lava linlti respect, and still less inclination. My idea Of the Bible as a Divine Revelation is founded upon its practierd.use to mankind, and not upon met aphysical Aubtleties. There are three points of doctrine, the belief rif which forms the foundation of all morality. The first is, the Existence of a cod; the second-is,, the Im- I mortality of the Human Soul: and the third, is, a Future State of Rewards and Punishr.- mews. Suppose it possible for a man to dis believe either of these articles-of htith, and that man will,have-no conscience.: he . _will have no other law-than that of the tiger, or, the shank; the laws of man may bind him in chains/ ortrirty put him to:deatiybilt they never can malt° him wise, virtuous, or hap- - ,py. pis, poisible te-believe them all with out fielieving that-the ,Bible is a Divine Rev-, elation. It is so obvious to every reasonable being that he did not make himself, and the world which Ito inhabits did not Make' itSelf, that the moment we begin' to exercise the - power of reflection, it seems impossible to escape the conviction that them is a Cre-. -atos.-r-,-It -is,equaily,evident--that-t he-Gt eater, udifsf be a spiritual, and.noi a material being: there is also a consciousness that the think ing part of our natures 'is not material, bet . spiritual—that it is not subject to the-laws of matter, nor perishable with it. I fence arises the belief that we have an immortal souli and puisning die train of thought which-the visi ble creation and. ohs !rvation upon ourselves -suggests, we trust soon discover that the Creator must also be the Governor of the Uniierse ; that His wisdom. and klis good , tress, must be without bounds.,—that lle is a i ighteous God and loves righteousness.—that mankind ate bound by the laws of righteous ness and are accountable to Him in their obedience to Amu in this life, according to their good br evil deeds. This c cimpletion of Divine Justice must be reserved for ano ther life. The eiistence of a Creator i the tin tumidity of the human soul, and a future state of retributioh, are therefore so-perfectly congenial to naturalreason when once dis covered—or rather it is so Impossible for natural reason to disbelieve them—that it would seem the light of natural . reason could alone suffice fur their discovery; but. the conclusion would not be correct. Human reason may be Sufficient to get an obscure al i m pse of these sacied and important truths, but it cannot discover them. in all their clear ness. For example :—iii all the number less, false religions, which have swayed the minds of inun io different ages and regions of the ye it n. the idea of a God has always been inela - ,t "Gather anti t iqgwy age, . In every chine adoreM, ' By Saint by Savage._ and by Sage° Jehovah, Jove, or Lord." So says Pope's Universal Prayer.
