If Religion Commands Universal Charity, To Love

We May Justly Condemn Ourselves As The Greatest Sinners We Know Because We Know More Of The Folly Of Our Own Heart Than We Do Of Other People's.

My Wife Would Not Speak Evil Of ... Anyone ... Without Cause. Joseph Is A Liar And Not She. That Smith Admired And Lusted After Many Men's Wives And Daughters, Is A Fact, But They Could Not Help That. They Or Most Of Them Considered His Admiration An Insult, And Treated Him With Scorn. In Return For This Scorn, He Generally Managed To Blacken Their Reputations - See The Case Of... Mrs. Pratt, A Good, Virtuous Woman.

Devotion Signifies A Life Given, Or Devoted, To God. He Therefore Is The Devout Man, Who Lives No Longer To His Own Will, Or The Way And Spirit Of The World, But To The Sole Will Of God, Who Considers God In Everything, Who Serves God In Everything, Who Makes All The Parts Of His Common Life, Parts Of Piety, By Doing Everything In The Name Of God, And Under Such Rules As Are Conformable To His Glory.

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.

Perhaps There Cannot Be A Better Way Of Judging Of What Manner Of Spirit We Are Of, Than To See Whether The Actions Of Our Life Are Such As We May Safely Commend Them To God In Our Prayers.
