Extract from one of DR.. LArHaOP's Sermons.

Extract from one of DIR. LATHRoP's Sermons.
Let me advise all to treat with affec-
ton and tenderness those who appear at
tentive to the great interests OF eternity.
There may be some, who have had strong
er convictions of sin, more pungent sense
of unworthiness, and more alarming ter
rors from divine threatenings than you
have felt. Impute not these to supersti-
ton or enthusiasm-much less to hypocri-
sy and dissimulation. The methods OF
grace may be different 10 different sub
iects. "The wind bloweth where it list
eth" Never ridicule that which has the
appearance Of goodness, or looks like a
real change of heart from sin TO holiness.
You will thus give others cause to fear
that you are strangers; yea enemies to the
power OF religion. When you hear others
speak of those powerful exercises which
Won have not experienced, you perhaps
think, that these are not essential TO con-
version-that calm, influential love Of
truth aud righteousness is all which eau
be necessary--be it so. But then look
into your hearts--review your lives en-
quire whether you have this calm influen-
tial love. eff your hearts condemn you
God is greater than your hearts, and know
eth all things"
II is too much the disposition OF the
careless to talk lightly Of internal expert
mental religion, that they may better pa
city their consciences in the want of it.
1t is wise to keep your minds open to Coz
yiction Of the truth. For this purpose,
think seriously, and speak reverently on
religious subjects. Never treat them with
Eevity. 10 this there is impiety Of heart
as well as rudeness of manners. AS it was
10 the days Of the Apostles, so it is now.
There are some, who think 1t strange that
their former associates in vanity and vice
have forsaken them, and run not with them
to The same excess of riot, speaking evil
Of them. But remember, that both apos-
tates and their seducers must give an ac-
count to Him, who shall judge the quick
and the dead.
