I never Iiutrd bulore ol Washington

bu truo it is only another illustration
nf thu workings of Dtviua providuueo
iu using tho combined powers ot Iiifi
dolity and Uomanisiu for tho further
ance of trim republican principles, and
tho spread of tho gospel ol Christ in
that political aid. Washington was a
devoted Christian and a member of the
Kiilscon.it Church ; and ho and other
distinguished politicians at tho time of
tho formation of the Constitution may
havo been in favor ot a union between
ohiirch and state; but at this day and
timo it would bo almost a miracle to
Uud an Amoricaii politician who would
dare to express such sentiments.
Tho oxamplo of Amsrioa is oxorting
