EX,'/ RAG rs from an essay on the Divine Authority, or the neir Testament, Bv DAVID BOGUE. .» -4 - C\ ‘ v Vi .§■ *V The Habbiness which results from the Jujlucnce of the Gospel, in such Characters • Thr importance of “ the truths Contained in the former section will appear more clearly, if we consider the influence which the prevalence of such acharacter'will have on human happiness That iri the individual who is moulded into it* it will pro duce satisfaction, and peace resulting from the hope of the friendship of God, from the hanish %nent of evil passions, add trom the qf holy affections and th noblest principles, every competen judge of human nature will readily grant. Let all the members, of a fa nw/ybe animated by these sentiments and dispositions : it becomes the a bode of love and joy. A town full of cittzens of this description is a ho ly brotherhood, where .harmony \ reigns ; and a reciprocation of kind offices renders neighborhood and so> <;ial intercourse unspeakably pleas ing. Were a country filled with such inhabitants, it would exhibit such a scene, of felicity as the world never yet beheld. All would per form the ditties of their station with would exhibit integrity in their dealings, and would seek the general good, and make private give way to public benefit. There would be peace, and union, and abundance, and contentment, and the love of or der, and veneration for the institu tions of society. Tyranny, insubor dination, and anarchy, would be un known. - . • O that Europe were full of people of this character! There would be a strife .who wbu]|d he the first iir proposing an end to war, and have the honor of soliciting reconciliation* Peace would be easily made y for pride, avarice, ambition, revenge,, the love of glory, and the lust of do mination, would have no vote in the congress. Rectitude, benevolence, and compassion for the miserable, sitting alone iii council, would bring Che negotiation to a speedy close.- They would all embrace as Brethren} »nd would be easy to live in peace, because the seeds of war in the hu man heart are destroyed. But mere abstinence from injury would not satisfy men of such a spi rit. No longer possessed with the L evil demon, falsely called patriotism, I which uught and impelled them to 1 seek the exaltation of tbeir own L country on the ruin oi others, they k . “ J ‘v-‘- ¥ 4 • wouly fwH It a dhty and a nVp.surc to promote the prosperity vt} ’ ppi- each other. Instead of prov ingv as has hitherto been the case, b curse, nations would be & blessing to each other ;Xnd in the spirit of the gospel, love a neighboring country as their own. When iny of those causes occurred which have hitherto, alas ! deluged the fields of Europe With blood, Christian lovcf, mutual forbearance, forgiveness of injuries, returning good for evil, and requite ing insults by benefits, would tie the bonds of peace and amity closer and stronger than they were before. ‘% l ,*Buf still more widely is the influ ■ ence of these divine principles felt. Asia, Africa, and America,**"rejoice at the change m the sons of Europe. Instead of beholding strangers grasp ing at every advantage, and pursu ing by every means an increase of power and commerce, they find men who acta as brothers ; who are as for ward to confer benefits, as lf> receive them ; nay more anxious to do them good, than to possess their wealth. They are astonished at the pleasing alteration ; and they concluded that principles which lead men to act thus, must be fro id God. While benevolent Europeans labor to do and to make theip hap py, they eagerly enquire, u Whence proceeds this remarkable change ? Formerly you were a curse, and we viewed you with dread. Our gold, our territory, ohr very persons, you snached away. Now you are a bles sing : your highest end is to confer benefits upon us. Whence did you derive these principles, which have indeed made you hew creatures V* “ Read this book,'* the Europeans reply, putting the New Testament into their h|iids, “ we have transla ted it into your tongue, that you may, like us derive from the peru sal, wisdom, goodness, and felicity.'* —They eagerly snatch the book : they read it s They too are made wise unto, salvation: and the ,happi ness it imparts is enjoyed through out the world. Arms become use less .• magazines are opened : arse nals are emptied. “ Let not our eyes, 5 ’ they say, “ any more behold the heart-rending sight.\. Convert these huge cannons into instruments of husbandry ; these destructive balls into mattocks and shovels ; beat theslf swords into plough-shares, and these spears into pruning hooks.*— | Mankind live in peace. Extended intercourse produces increasing af fection • Wherever man meets man, he meets a brother : love to God, and love to men reigning in the heart, generate every where righte ousness, harmony, benevolence, and joy. Can principles, so directly tending to felicity, and producing it in every form, spring from imposture, and from the hearts of bad of men ? Sa tan’s kingdom would be divided a- I gainst itself, and must fait. Charac ters so formed, do they not proclaim their original to be from above, and not from beneath l Does not the scheme announce its author to be the infinitely merciful and gracious’ God, who delights in the happiness, of his creatures, and who has framed it with such wisdom, that H suits ev ery relation, and renders, at once, He individual and the world happy l Will it be said, this is a mere Utopian dream t It will be granted, however, that it is a pleasing one. But rsit not the natural result of the influ ence of the principles of the gospel on the heart l Nor, to him who be lieves the scriptures, ia itanr hnagi nary state of things which has been described. The faint representation which has been attempted, is conso nant to the predictions of the Old , and New Testament, which plainly foretel and describe, in the most glowing and lovely colors, the full establishment of knowledge, good- Iness, and felicity over the face of the whole earth, by the establishment of * the gospel of Jesus Christ, in the \ heatts of men.

The Right Reverend Bi shop White , after addressing the Divine Majesty, in ao appropriate { Bc solemn Prayer, proceeded to read the report of the Managers—The as sembly, which consisted of a large number of Ladies and Gentlemen; of every denomination, were.delight ted with the intdigence communica ted of the growing strength and use fulness of the establishment, An eloquent and impressive’ Address to the President, was afterwards deliv ered by James Alilnor , Esq. stating the origin and successes of the Bri tish add foreign Bible Society, and exhibiting the numerous abvantages | which result to the -Christian and ‘ * f* V ‘ * ‘ W'Si Heathen world from Bible Institu- i Jqns. In terms alike delicate and I evangelic he Congratulated the La- | dies, forming the Female. Bible So- j ciety of Philadelphia, on their pious , ipd generous exertions and on that prosperity, with which, by the Go® or Mercy, they had been crowned. Theßev. Mr. Janeway in a pathe tic and forcible Address succeeded. He deplored the waste of Human life op the Continent of Europe, and re-’ garded it as part of theTlispensations of Heaven when engaged in aveng ing the blood of Martyrs and Saints. He considered the Bible, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, as the cure of calamities, the most disas trous and unexampled* He viewed it, as the grandinstrument for pro moting the fervours of Devotion, and recovering to in ensanguined world, the blessings of peace* He stated the value of the inspired volume as *4o its tendency, every where to ele vate the Female character, and to convert what ,ia seen in Heathen Countries, occupied in the meanest and mbst toilsome services, into the faithful associate and the tender and respected friend. It is understood, that each of these addresses, at the request of the Managers, is about to be presented to the world, through the medium of the press* A collection was made—after which the venerable President of the society, in*u short but, highly judi cious address, recommended the In stitution to the patronage of the As sembly-stating, that while occasion al contributions encouraged the ef forts of the Managers, on annual and life subscriptions they depended for the Society’s main support* To every pious and reflecting mind, the meeting presented a scene peculiarly delightful—Disciples of the SON OF GOD, of every diver sity of Christian persuasion were all united in the common design* Eve ry hand seemed joyfully extended to touch the rope that is drawing the ark of the Divine testimonies to the view of the nations. The cotamon bond of Union was the standard of Truth • At future Anniversaries, it is hoped the attendance of the Ladies and gentlemen of our city, wil) pe increased. It contributed to the pleasure of the’ evening to reflect that a few hours before the meeting of the Society in Philadelphia, the parent Society, oti the opposite side of the Atlantic, bad held its anniversary convention too ■ im 4 An Assembly such as earth f *» Saw never , such as Heaven looks down to see, 9 * REMARKABLE PREDICTION [From the gentleman's Magavne of V July, 1807.] \ The following remarkable prediction of the Bishop of Arles, in the year 513, which the events of the French revolution have so amply fulfiled, were recorded in the roy al library of Paris, in a book enti tled Liber Afirabilis, from which it was extracted about forty years since, by Sir Jbhn Lawson 7 Bart.of Brough-Hall in Yorkshire. “The administration of the king dom f France ) shall be so blinded, that they shall leave it without dew fenders- * M The hand of God shall extend itself over them, and over all the rich. * All the, nobles shall be deprived of their estates. “ A division shall spring up in the Church of God—and there shall be two husbands* the one true, the other adulterous; the legitimate husband shall be put to flight. “ There shall be great carnage, and as great an effusion of blood# as in the days of the Gentiles. .
