enter, and receive wages unto eternal life. This world, especially at the present period, affords as encouraging a place for doing good, as the sublimest imagination can create, or the most benevolent heart desire. In the noble endeavor to raise up immortal beings from a state of degradation and of exposure to divine wrath, there are motives sufficient to command the most strenuous exertions of every intelligent creature. God has seen fit to permit men to enjoy the privilege, the honor, and the happiness to labor in this divine work. How foolish will it be to neglect this privilege, to despise this honor, to lose this happiness: how supremely wise to avail ourselves of every opportunity to arouse, awaken, and urge to virtue and to heaven a world lying in wickedness, but to be reformed, renewed and brought into the obedience of Christ.
