0. BAILEY--Festus. Prom. Line 84.

There is one inevitable criterion of judgment to hing religious faith in doctrinal matters. Can you reduce it to practice? If not, have none of it.

p. HOSEA BALLOU-MSS. Sermons. Poor man! where art thou now? thy day is night.

Good man, be not cast down, thou yet art right,

Thy way to Heaven lies by the gates of Hell;
Cheer up, hold out, with thee it shall go well.
