brum sensum hunc haberet, ut posse putaret, se valere, si proximi membri valetudinem ad se traduxisset; debilitari, et interire totum corpus necesse esset.”* The interests of the world require the entire force of your united strength, for the world lieth in the wicked one, and Satan has "the advantage over it." You, as the church of Christ, are the angel which John saw in his visions, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand, who laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, and bound him a thousand years. This is to be not a physical, but a moral process, and your chain is moral and spiritual, con sisting of the links of pure doctrine, sound discipline, scriptural ordinances, Christian societies, and benevolent institutions. These are constantly increasing, and as they increase, they extend the reach of your influence. By these you will limit and control the agency of the tempter, and the force of temptations; and by these you will overcome the world, and possess it, in the name and for the use of Jesus Christ. "The communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all," is the heart's desire of Your fellow-labourer in Christ, THOS. W. JENKYN. STAFFORD, THE EVE OF PENTECOST, May 13, 1837. *CIC. De Offic. iii. 5.
