Where Has The Scripture Made Merit The

Feasts And Business And Pleasure And Enjoyments Seem Great Things To Us, Whilst We Think Of Nothing Else; But As Soon As We Add Death To Them They All Sink Into An Equal Littleness.

Self Is The Root, The Tree, And The Branches Of All The Evils Of Our Fallen State.

Wherever Thou Goest, Whatever Thou Dost At Home, Or Abroad, In The Field, Or At Church, Do All In A Desire Of Union With Christ, In Imitation Of His Tempers And Inclinations, And Look Upon All As Nothing, But That Which Exercises, And Increases The Spirit And Life Of Christ In Thy Soul.

If Religion Commands Universal Charity, To Love Our Neighbors As Ourselves, To Forgive And Pray For All Our Enemies Without Any Reserve; It Is Because All Degrees Of Love Are Degrees Of Happiness, That Strengthen And Support The Divine Life Of The Soul, And Are As Necessary To Its Health And Happiness, As Proper Food Is Necessary To The Health And Happiness Of The Body.

As A Good Christian Should Consider Every Place As Holy, Because God Is There, So He Should Look Upon Every Part Of His Life As A Matter Of Holiness, Because It Is Offered Unto God. The Profession Of A Clergyman Is A Holy Profession, Because It Is A Ministration In Holy Things, An Attendance At The Alter. But Worldly Business Is To Be Made Holy Unto The Lord, By Being Done As A Service Unto Him, And In Conformity To His Divine Will.
