■Wherewith shall T come before the Lord ?”
Vlt is evident that a great number of
people, even hjthis*Ciiristian country,
Scarcely at ail. If

course of their conduct. To this cUbs
may well be referred all those who
cau lightly talk of God and eternity in'
such language k% this : I hope 1 have
no reason to dread meeting my Ma
ker; for though I do not pretcud to
; religion, I live inoffensively, and dc.
nobody any harm. Or this : I am as
good as most of my neighbors, per
haps better; and if I am to be lost for
«¥autof conversion and holiness, whai

I canhdt ■sf^pose that God will send
so many of us to perdition. VVi etch
ed mortals ! They are last asleep with
the sleep of death, aud t cl use to be
awakened.
There is another large class, who
employ some sort of thought and at
tention on the subject, and yet stop
fatally short of the requisite point.
They cannot dismiss the concerns ol
the soul with levity. They must and
they do find sonic ground or other or
which to build their hope of escaping
hell & obtaining heaven. But it is me.
lancholy to observe what delusions met
impose upon themselves in this mo<
mentous affair, with the bible in theii
hands, and professing to receive it as
the sure guide of their faith and prac
t ee. Some of the most common am
dangerous of these delusions shall b<
briefly examined.
Many confidently expect the appro
bation of God and eternal happiness 01

volence to their fellow creatures.

one ; I pay ray debts; I am charitabli
to the pqprand what more does Got
require of me? What more is neces.
sary to secure his favor ?—If the scrip
tures are to decide the matter, much
very much more is necessary. Wh(
has airhorized us to leave God, ou
Creator, Preserver, Hem factor, ant
Lawgiver,out of our scheme of duty
His first commandment is, that we lovi
him with all our hearts, lit has pre
scribed a vari«%y of modes in whicl
we are to exercise and express the
love; far instance, by thii.kug ant
spe*kirn|of him with the u^nostrrvr
ence; by prayer, both secret and so i
al, including confession' of sin will
thanksgiving and praise ; by devottn
one day out of seven expressly to hr
immediate service ; by glorying in th
title of his obedient child! en, as th
highest honour of which we are cap«<
hie; by inculcating his authority an
> laws upon those whom he ha^ c in Ml
1 ted to our care and government. Th
gospel was not given to abrogate, bi
to enlorce the great precept of piety t
* God. ‘l he fear of God is always th
beginning of wisdom. The supreui
cove ot God is the essential basis oi li
religious character.
Tpe scriptures doubtl- »*» require t
to love our neighbour, ui.d to di
charge tcivards him every duty of ju.s„
t ee and kindness ; but not as a sub
stitute for devotion,to God, nor by a*
ny means as the whole of rdigiou. I i
reality, social virtue*, when used and
plead«.d iu the manner under conside
ration, are radically defective in the
sight of God.. It is plain that a regard
to his authority, makes no part of ^he
motive with which they are practised i
-or no man who.sincerely reveres that
authority, will pretend to conform to
the second coromand-of the law, while
he neglects the ft; at and greatest con
-mand^ And how can God accept any
thing at our hands as an act of obedi
ence, when die eery principle and spir
it of obedience are in fact entirely
wamipg: It is far from my intention
to vilify the virtues of social'life. It is
much more useful to mankind, and
much more honorable to the individu
al, to be just than to be unjust; to be
benevolent and compassionate than to
be selfish and cruel. We are prone
to overrate our social character, by
comparing ourselves with others whom
we think less amiable, rather thau with
the pure standard of divine law. But
supposing, fora moment, th*t we were
free from blame iu this respect,it could
not justify us at the bar of God.as his
servants. Toltipagine that'it could, is
contrary to the light both of nature
and of scripture. Such expectations
throw coutempt upon the gospel of Je
sus Christ.. They are compatible with
that pride & self-sufficiency which are
the very opposite of the Christian tem
