THE DUTIES OF BENEVOLENCE CON-
SIDERED AND ENFORCED.

PHIL. ii. 4.

Look not every man on his own things, but every man alfo on the things of others.

AS man was made for fociety, it is the duty and

interest of every one to contribute what lies in

his power to the general good. This is a plain dictate of nature, and is abundantly confirmed and enforced by scripture. Whoever confiders the divine benevolence which breathes through the gospel, and which shone so illustriously in the countenance of its great author, the Lord Jesus Christ, must clearly fee that it is impoffible for a man to be a genuine Christian, without feeling, in a degree at least, that generous warmth which a public spirit inspires. When the Son of righteousness first arose upon this miferably cold and benighted world, the balmy influence of his grace diffused itself through the breasts of thousands.
