. Religious emblems and allegories : a series of engravings, with suitable letter-press, designed to illustrate divine truth . m the torrent, and swim against the stream.So these dead in trespasses and in sin, follow the course of thisworld j they are borne unresistingly down the fatal stream. Butthose who are alive spiritually, those whom God hath quickened, oppose the torrent, make headway against it, and, by divine assis-tance, work out their own salvation, full, and for ever. The patriarch Noah had, in his day, to swim against the stream.The floodgates of sin were opened ; the turgid waters rolled downwith fearful violence ; truth and justice were w^ell nigh swept fromthe face of earth.

He wascrowned with Divine approbation, and permitted to see the Bow ofPromise. At the same time, the multitude, neglecting to stem thetide, were borne away by the waves thereof down to the gulf ofblack despair. RELIGIOUS EMBLEMS. 45.
