Religion.

Religion deters not from the laws
ful delights which are taken in natu-
raj things. but teaches the moderate
and regular use of them, which is Ear
sweeter; for things lawful in them-
selves are, in their excess, sinful, and
so prove bitterness in 0IIe end.--Andit,
in some cases, requires the forsaking
OF iawfol enjoy ments as of pleasure, or
profit or honor for God, and for his
glory, it is generous and more truly
delightful to deny things, for this rea-
son, than TO enjoy them. Men have
done much this way, for the love Of
their country, and by principle Of
moral virtue; but to lose any delight,
or to suffer any hardship for that high
est end, the glory of God, and by the
strength of love to him, is far more
excellent and truly pleasant. The
delights and pleasures of sio, religion
indeed banishes; but it is to change
them for joy, thati is unspeakabIy be-
yond them. 1t calls them from sordd
and base delights, to those that are sure
delights indeed. 1t calls to men,
'drnk ye no longer ofthe cistern; here
are the crystal streams Of living foun.
tain There is delight in the very
despising ofsinful delights, as that in
comparison with them, the other de-
serves not the name, 10 have such
spiritual joy as shall end in eternal joy;
it is ii wonder we hasten not to choose
this joy; but il is indeed because we
believe not.--Leighton
