It is n.efncholy to reflect, how many dif
ficulties thol Christian Jias to encounter ; how
many dangers deter him from entering on the
narrow patli of rectitude, and continue to ha
rass and impede htm, to the end of hi jour
ney. But, such was the lot of the great Cap
tain of his saltation,' and the christian soldier
must not coropuiu. Ilia religion is too pure,
not to excita the enmity of a corrupted world;
loo spiritual for the slaves of sensual indul
gence ; . too noble and disinterested for the
selfish and;: mercenary; too meek and hum
ble for the! aspirin? votaries of ambilion. -
