goes to diminish the present, and to heighten and greaten what is to come. If now these are light afflictions; these joys of sense are light joys; these possessions of time are shadowy and vain possessions,

oh, how small and mean to be set as the supreme object of pursuit to those made in the image and for the service of God; and how these things will look, in the retrospect of a lost eternity. If lost, you will see them then as the price of your soul. You will know that you bartered heaven for that now perished baseness. You will behold it in the distance, a floating trifle, a dim, receding speck, and yet it was the price of your soul. Bear in mind, that soon you will leave the little things, the gildings, the baubles, the vanities, and go forth to the substantial, the weighty, the eternal. Awake, watch, strive, or this lying world will work out for you, and lay upon you, a dreadful burden, the burden of your Maker's curse, because you would not heed his counsel, and embrace his Son. You will lie under it for ever, a far more exceeding and eternal weight of infamy and misery.

THE END.
