3. Let us glorify God with and /or all the faculties we possess —
[Our bodily and mental powers are rich mercies from the hand of God, and should be exerted continually in promoting his glory. But, if our eyes have been opened to behold the light of his truth ; if our ears have been unstopped, so that we can hear the voice of the good shepherd ; if our tongues have been loosed to speak of his name ; and if our feet have been strengthened to run the way of his commandments ; it be- comes us to imitate the multitudes who surrounded him on this occasion. There should not be a cold heart, or an inactive member, throughout this whole assembly. We should all either be filled with admiration of his goodness, or, with ecstatic ardour, render him the tribute of incessant praise. Were we thus occupied, we should enjoy a very heaven upon earth. We cannot conceive a better idea of lieaven than if we set before our eyes this adoring multitude. Do we see Jesus en- circled by them, every eye fixed on him, every tongue sounding HIS praises, every soul ascribing all its liappiness to his power and grace? What is this but heaven? Let us then resemble them, or rather far outstrip them, in our acclamations, forasmuch as our mercies infinitely exceed those which were enjoyed by them. This will be an improvement as beneficial to ourselves as it will be instructive to others, and honourable to " the God of Israel" — ]
