The moral tendency and importance of the doctrines of religion, may be illustrated by an application to men in every station of life--Neither rank nor condition, age nor sex, should neglect its salutary precepts--above all the poor and unfortunate classes of mankind should cling to it as their last and only hope. Religion diffuses the same lustre through the moral, as the sun through the natural world. It cheers the children of adversity, when misfortunes assail and disappointments afflict them; wipes the tear from the eyes of the orphan, and conducts the devout and humble christian, whose life has been a series of toil, pain and trouble from the cradle to the grave, to regions where the weary are at rest, and sorrows are no more.
