True religi<strong>on</strong> ennobles the mind, refines the<br />

taste, sanctifies the judgment, and makes its<br />

possessor a partaker of the purity and the holiness<br />

of heaven. It brings angels near and separates us<br />

more and more from the spirit and influence of the<br />

world. It enters into all the acts and relati<strong>on</strong>s of life<br />

and gives us the “spirit of a sound mind,” and the<br />

result is happiness and peace.<br />

Said the apostle Paul to his Philippian brethren,<br />

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,<br />

whatsoever things are h<strong>on</strong>est, whatsoever things<br />

are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever<br />

things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good<br />

report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any<br />

praise, think <strong>on</strong> these things.” Adopt this as the rule<br />

of life. “Be careful for nothing; but in everything<br />

by prayer and supplicati<strong>on</strong> with thanksgiving let<br />

your request be made known unto God. And the<br />

peace of God, which passeth all understanding,<br />

shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ<br />

Jesus.” Philippians 4:8, 6, 7.<br />
