Excerpt from Sentiments on Resignation Such are the effects of pliancy in the com mon concerns of life. Submission to the divine will relates to matters of infinite moment and reality, and is capable of affording the most signal advantages to\those, who experience its sacred influence. In every condition, it affords a relief from our burdens and support to our souls. It constitutes a refuge. To which the soul repairs with composure, and views, with a reverential smile, that irresistible hand, which controls the thunder and directs the storm. Here, under the healing effusions of the spirit, the throbbing artery of wo is quiet ed, and the heart is alive With delightful sen sations. Here, the love of existence mingles with the love ofglod, and gloriously triumph over the cares and calamities oftime.
