manifested that he has ceased to operate on us -that he has begun to do so-and the like. In the present instance, the visible and bodily ascent of Christ into the heavens, could only be an expressive symbol that God was ceasing to be manifested in the person of Jesus Christ; and, in like manner, the opposite symbol of descending fiery tongues, signified that God was beginning to be manifested in a new way, even by the Holy Spirit.

Whenever grosser notions steal upon your mind-and whose is the mind on which they do not sometimes operate ?-ask yourselves the question, Whither was Christ seen to ascend by the apostles, the witnesses of the ascension? To the heavens; that is, to the sky. But where is heaven? Not surely in the atmosphere, that surrounds this world: it is not surely a place bounded by the lines of the astronomer or the geographer. Heaven, the abode of God, is not a place, but that of which a magnificent object like the sky is a type and shadow. It is by analogy that we thus ascribe to God, what is essential to the well being of a man; but one less enlightened than the least in God's present kingdom addressed
