with a holy zeal the most atrocious deeds - when this blind ignorance of the vital essence of true Christianity and vile parent of degrading hypocrisy shall be banished from the face of the earth, then, indeed, may we look forward with confidence to the absolute annihilation of Bigotry and the total destruction of Infidelity. The Bigot may well, then, by self-examination, perceive his error, and return in the honesty of his soul to pure primitive Christianity; and the Infidel will also find that repose for his soul, of which unsuccessful search and perplexed investigation into the sacred texts had deprived him — and all for want of a little "Science,' which is here amply supplied. These two formidable sects manifesting the utmost rancour towards each other's opinions-comprise nearly the whole class of modern Christians. To their utmost astonishment, then, will they find that, when the one relinquishes his inveterate prejudices and the other adds a little Science to his inquiry, they will be both united in ONE only permanent sentiment that of Christianity, in all its primitive purity. For

CHRISTIANITY is RATIONALITY.

So divinely does St. Paul expound the DOCTRINE of Christ, that the inmense lapse of time, and all the

enlightenment and expansion of mind that have gradually grown up through a series of ages, are totally incapable of adding one tittle to the conviction of its truth : say, then, walk in the Spirit - that is, according to 'REASON'—and ye shall not fulfil the lusts of the Flesh

that is, gratify the irregular desires of 'SENSE.' For the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But, if ye be led by the Spirit—that is, REASON-ye are not under the law. Now the works of the Fleshthat is, SENSE-are manifest, which are these:-adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revilings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the 'KINGDOM OF God.' But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the Flesh, with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."-In modern language we should say:

If we live according to the great law of REASON- the "Moral Law" -we subdue the unlawful desires of SENSE- our conduct is approved by the spirit of truth

- CONSCIENCE- and in this manner we not only render ourselves acceptable in the sight of the Lord, but we evince the

Supremacy of REASON over SENSE.

This exposition need only be read to be approved, and adopted as a principle to guide our conduct in this world, and prepare us for the next. All that " Science " is capable of adding to this beautiful display of the precepts of the Gospel is the source in the "Human Mind," whence originate these fundamental laws : beyond this every effort to make truth more true must be quite powerless. It really seems almost superfluous

to

say that the Apostle Paul meant to designate under the term FLESH the inclinations and desires of "SENSE"

that seducer from our duties; and under the word SPIRIT, the law of morals, with which man is endowed, to suppress the appeals of inclination when they overstep the bounds of propriety, which law is founded in "REASON." Annul REASON, and the "Moral Law" becomes extinct. How, then, can it either be appreciated or acted upon! Annul SENSE-in what can

the inclinations reside! How, then, can we indulge in the sinful gratification of that which does not exist ! Flesh and "SENSE," being both properties of matter, may be considered as synonymous; while Spirit and "REASON," being both immaterial essences, must of necessity be spiritual, and may on this account be considered synonymous. Thus, then, has modern Science furnished a clue by which the "Sacred Volume" shall indeed be viewed as a "HOLY BOOK," merely by giving a touchstone for the purpose of determining, in all occurring cases, whether the text under investigation is wholly or partially "DOCTRINAL," and what part is most certainly merely "HISTORICAL." This touchstone is the pure, complete, and perfect,

PHILOSOPHY of MIND.

In order, therefore, scientifically to appreciate the sublime DOCTRINE of Christ, when entirely separated from all the facts of HISTORY, no other mode of procedure can be adopted, but first of all to master this perfect "SCIENCE OF MIND." For not undertaking this previous labour no possible excuse can be admitted; and, when it is successfully accomplished, there will be the same unformity of sentiment among the pupils of

the "SACRED SCIENCE" as at present exists in the study of "Euclid's Elements of Geometry." Sectarianism must then hide its diminished head, and true "RELIGION" will be ONE, and universal all over the world! The circle of the Sciences will be for ever closed as far as regards the "SCIENCE OF RELIGION," which will find itself installed among the pure Sciences.

with this difference, indeed, that it not only eclipses them all in Spirituality, but that it is the very head and front of all the pure Sciences-being the first law of "REASON." A critical examination into the operations and powers of REASON will then furnish the fundamental principles that will constitute the "Horn-book" of that Science, which will ultimately produce perfect unanimity of sentiment among all rational beings, and unite them in ONE eternal bond of union, on all points of Theology and Religion, in so permanent a manner that no time can change but all time must confirm to that high degree of excellence and purity which the perfect DOCTRINE of Christ demands. This "Science" -which is complete in all its parts — perfect in all its principles that even defy either augmentation or diminution, but must for ever remain permanently fixed in their present number consisting of the three
