d, but each cling with more ardent feelings and firmer grasp to
Jesus Christ and his cause. This world is not our rest. Neither is it a
place to give much indulgence to many of the fond affections of the
soul. There is no time for it. We live in a world of sin--a confused,
disordered and chaotic world--in a revolted territory, among a crowd of
sinners dying an eternal death. The main point then is, to save our own
souls and the souls of as many as possible of our fellow men, before the
grave shall close upon us. The indulgence of many of our tenderer
feelings of love and fondness must be postponed to a more peaceful
abode. While in a world of dying souls, self-denial and laborious effort
are most in place. Parental and filial affection should be deep and
ardent indeed, but under the control of judgment. Love to Christ and to
souls must predominate and govern our conduct.
