DISCERNMENT.

By F. W. MORSE

The light of the body is the eye. The mind is the great light-bearer of the human system. How important that we keep it well balanced; under the most complete discipline attainable to mortal existence. We then “see through a glass darkly,” as compared to the broad daylight of heavenly wisdom; but how many there are whose minds are so dimmed and eclipsed with sensuality, that all their ways are Egyptian darkness! It is vain to suppose that such are able to discern between good and evil. They drift about hither and thither, with no well defined and distinctly illuminated plan before them. They run into darkness in the day time, and grope in the noon-day as in the night, the aimless vagabonds of evil purposes, the makeshifts of humanity. “If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light, but if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.”
F. W. MORSE.
