For, craftier than all things beside, And desperately vile, The heart deceives its very self With subtilty of guile. And they would prey upon the good, And lead the weak aside; While saints, at first, would fear and shrink, O if the heart of man were bared Before the light of day, How many a wretch, who now hath hope, Would be a castaway! For man from man would then divide, Kindred their kind abhor; The world would darken with distrust, No! let the soul in safety, still, Its good or evil hide ; Since nothing wrought through fear of man And let me leave my brother's heart S. J. CHARITY. II. ITS DOCTRINE. A VERY able book has been written on the internal evidences of Christianity, the purport of which is to shew that in that religion alone we can trace an intelligible connection between its doctrines and its precepts. In all other religious systems the preceptive and doctrinal portions have literally nothing to do with each other, and the latter might as well not be bound within the same cover for any influence they are calculated to have on the observance and carrying cut of the former. But in the religion of Christ every doctrine has the most intimate relation to practice; it is the inward principle of the precept which, on the other hand, is the doctrine carried out into act. This is a forcible proof of the truth of both. Doctrine and precept correspond, and as it were fit each other, to use a familiar illustration, like the geography and the map. Such a correspondence and fitness argues a deep knowledge of human nature in the writers of the Bible, and whence could they derive it except from Divine inspiration. How else could these simple and unlettered men (we especially refer to the writers of the New Testament) be able to accomplish that in which the framers of religious systems in all ages have signally failed-viz., fulfilling the obvious conditions of a Divine revelation by presenting its teaching in harmony with its commands. This is a test not only of the truth of Revelation in general but also of any views or principles professed to be drawn from that revelation. Whatever views or principles most clearly tend to produce obedience to the accompanying precepts must self-evidently be true and emanate from the same Divine source. This subject is admirably and forcibly illustrated by a reference to St. Paul's noble and sublime description of charity in the 13th chapter of his first Epistle to the Corinthians. This may be regarded as the ethereal essence of all Divine precepts, and it involves as we shall see the leading principles of the kingdom of God. Setting out with the bold and sweeping yet intensely true assertion that gifts, faith and works, nay, martyrdom itself, are "nothing without charity," he goes on to sketch the various features and lineaments whereby we may recognise her heavenly form. "Charity suffereth long and is kind." How admirably does this correspond and tally with the uniform teaching of scripture, which represents God as long-suffering and kind to the unthankful and the evil, nay, as essential love or charity (ayan) in its very fountain. Charity so far understood is just the reflection of His nature; and no face before the mirror is more calculated to produce its image than is this doctrine to beget and foster charity in the soul that is steadily brought in contact with and contemplation of it. And still more so when this doctrine is carried to its full development, which, after all, is no more than is, not only implied, but absolutely declared, in the text that God being love itself can have no wrath or vengeance-that He does not punish or cast into hell—that He is continually remitting the sins of men instead of inflicting penalties, and continually drawing them to himself by the unseen influences of His good Spirit. There is verily a breadth and length and depth and height in the love of God in Christ Jesus which passeth knowledge, and which is adequate to fill the receptive soul with all the ful |
