God, it is said, *' dwells in light," in respect to his lependent possession of his own glorious attributes Tim. vi, 16 ; 1 John i, 7). He dwells in heaven in spect to his more immediate presence there (Psa. Lxiii, 1^. He dwells in his Church in the continued stowal of his ordinances, and of his gracious support- g and comforting influences (Psa. ix, 11 ; 1 John iv, ). Chriat dwelt among men in his state of homilia- >n on earth (John i, 14). He dwells in our hearts '- faith, he is united to us as our head ; his righteous- »8S is imputed to us, and applied to our consciences ; 9 spirit and grace are fixed in our hearts ; he loves id delights in us (Ephes. iii, 17-19). The Holy Spirit NeWa in as, and sheds abroad his gracious influence ^om. vin and ix; 1 Cor. iii, 16; 2 Tim. i, 14). The Tord of €rod dwells in us richly, when it is carefully udied, firmly believed, and diligently practised (Psa. six, 11; Col. iii, 16). Wickedness, vengeance, or idgment is said to dwell in or upon a person or land hen it long continues there (Job xi, 14 ; xviii, 15 ; sa. xxxii, 16). See Wemyss, SymboL Diet, s. v.

When he wandering Arabs have drawn upon themselves the esentment of the more fixed inhabitants of those ountries, and think themselves unable to stand tgainst them, they withdraw into the depths of the preat wOdemess, where none can follow them. " Al- Mrays on their guard against tyranny," says M. Sava- y, '*on the least discontent that is given them, they >ack up their tents, load their camels, ravage the flat M>untry, and, loaded with plunder, plunge into the turning sands, whither none can pursue them, and irhere they alone can dwell."
