Pure Hearts.—

I think we must all admit there is nothing so beautiful as a pure heart—a heart through which Jesus has gone as we went through the courts of the temple at Jerusalem, driving thence everything that offended—all hatred, all malice, all jealousy, all envy, all uncleanness—a heart whose thoughts are pure, whose desires are pure, whose affections are pure, whose motives are pure, whose purposes are pure, whose principles are pure—a heart that is the house of the immaculate Spirit of the infinite and eternal God! Oh, there is nothing beneath the skies so attractive, so beautiful, so desirable,

so glorious, as a pure heart! If not—if candor and conscience constrain us to answer in the negative, let me ask other questions, Would we have pure hearts? Are we groaning after conformity to God? Are we hungering and thirsting after righteousness?—Sel.
