| Who re only religious and not Chrstisns Toey
love by conscience they love by bond, bound by u

fatally servants Of God not 10 the sense IN wncn
the words AZ largely used in the Scriptures, meaning
simply disciples OF Christ but they are most literally
| God hired men, or worse-Gois bQndmen. 81 thA
| have been accustomed to say tony people, when
persons united 10 my church ron other cnuIcnes,
that the frst wor, had TO do was TO turn taem out
of religion into Christianity, to make those VINO were
before only religious men now truly Chrisss men.
Men must learn no longer to fear God no longer 70
remLle as before the tyranDical master OF despoc
! Governments but unto Him through Jesus
| Christ, who draws his affections up toward him, aud
say, Lord, love thee, trust thee, snd WI" sef'e
| Apy map who kno " enough to love his children,
bis father, mother brother or sister, has theological
knOwledg enough to love the Lord Jesus Christ. NOW
to put this ques ion to any of you, do you really
cbovse TO love the Lord Jesus Christ suppose every
man of you would cay, 81 do" But stop, there Is
great Distinction between desiring thing and choos-
| ing thing man may desire without choosing. DO
/ you suppose there is nan in the Tombs VINO does
| Lot desire to be an honest man But ne does not
choose TO be; there other things which ne desires
more than that he desires money more than he does
| honesty; he desires the means OF debauchery and
reyelry more than he does honesty. There is not
probably given to his cups in the city OF New
| York who, if you shoud ak him. DO you not de-
| fire to become reformed and temperate man Il
| suppose there is scarcely man who would mol say
Yes He desires IT, but does Lot choose 1T there are
other things he desires than that, and he chooses
the things he desires most and which stand nearest to
him.
Take any man who is q poor, ragged yagabond, and
ask him. DO you not desire riches and by industry,
too ! OfcouTse, he says he does But he does not
choose it, and you cannot make him choose it; ne does
desire be ch but he desires to be lazy much more
than thattberefor he is vagabOnd. A man desires
to be scholar but he does not choose it, because he
likes his leisure much better than application Almost
every de- ros something which he does notchoose.
We full Of DESIRES but only choose those things
that we are willing to give Ourselves for We go for,
ward by the proper nstrume aties and take It, and
that man who is willing to destroy everything that
stands in the way of the object he desires, that
| can be said to have chosen IT,
Now, put the question TO you, do you desire the
| love of Christ DO you desire it more than your
business more than your pleasures more than ambi-
ton, more than selfish indulgences, that you
willing TO say before God, desire it than all the
| things in the world DO you choose it sol If you
do, know not why you should not take it ct once.
You competent to choose your business; you don't
need to ask any lawyers doctors ministers in order
/ to do that. You competent TO choose out your
own course in life; you are competent to choose your
own pleasures, and you never think of asking any
other man to tell you how to secure them. Why do
you not stand upon your own power, or upon Gods
power, which will work with your power and become
