diversity of matter, and embrace the operations of kindred Societies, both at home and abroad. The unequivocal success, which, by the blessing of God, has crowned the exertions of the BRITISH AND FOREIGN SAILORS' SOCIETY, is such as to convince the most sceptical, that in this part of the moral universe, as in original creation or reproduction, the Spirit is moving on the face of the deep, and in many most remarkable instances is bringing order out of confusion. The results are such as powerfully to encourage and stimulate our zeal; and if the work be prosecuted in faith and patience, the consummation is infallibly certain. We are looking for a more copious effusion of the Spirit on the church of Christ, and when this is granted, she will not only contemplate, but go forth to the great work of the world's salvation with invincible purpose and determination; nor will it add a little to the grandeur of the universal conquest, that the sea has given up not her dead, but her living, and that the sons of the ocean have been transformed into the children of God, and the heirs of immortality. 2, Jeffrey-square, St. Mary Axe, December, 1838.
