Endureth all things; bears adver-sities with an even mind, submits withresignation to the dispensation of theprovidence of God, and endures trials,afflictions, and insults. 16. Charity never faileth. Love beingof God, will ever remain, while all hu-man acquirements being necessary inthe eternal world, will pass away. Love is properly the image of God inthe soul. By faith we receive from ourMaker; by ^hope a future and eternalgood ; but by love we resemble God, andby it alone are we qualified to enjoyheaven. Faith is the foundation ofChristian life; Hope rears the structure,but Love finishes, completes, and crownsit in a blessed eternity. 34 CHRISTIAN SIMILITUDES. 1 COmNTHNS, Chap, ii:verse 10. 1 PETER,Chup. i:verse 8.
