The particular virtue of Christian beneficence—a willingness and readiness to benefit others—is of course subject to the action of this general law. The culture of a loving disposition, the opening of the heart to sympathy, the generous impulse and the liberal resolve, all act kindly and healthfully on every faculty of the inner man. The judgment and conscience, the intellect and the heart, are all alike purified. " A good man is satisfied from himself;" —not with himself, as if he had nothing* to mourn over and lament; but from himself—from the sentiments and acts which he cherishes and achieves, and which, by necessary conse¬ quence, through God's gracious constitution of things, fill him with a tranquil and inward peace. The man who, from some living act of liberality or sacrifice,—some employment of time, influence, or money to do good to others; the man who from these things goes into his closet or to the sanctuary, to the reading of the Bible or the worship of the church, will find that for him there is light, and joy, and comfort and strength in all such engagements.
