A SHORT SERMON ON A NEW TEXT.
"If we do not praise ourselves, no one VII!
nrase us. Ny text is found-no matter
ubore-not in the Bible-tut have certainly
heard i, and deem it worthy Of illustration.
Indeed there are some texts in the scriptures
not IN harmony with our text. Let another
nr.ise thee, aud not thine own mouth,
stranger and not thine own lips. - For men
to search their own glory is not glory. But
must not be understood as advocating such
self praise as contravenes the language or sp]r-
tof these scriptures Still my text has
meaning an Important meaning, and Will
eudeayor to place this meaning clearly before
nv hearers. Without consuming more time in
the Introduction, proceed TO remark,
THAT WE NEED TO BE PRAISED
This position is plainly implied in the
text, The desirableness of praise underlies 1t.
Why should we be praised by others, or praise
ourselves, it praise is not go)d? But must
proceed to eluci,9ate this position in several
particulars.
|. Isis pleasant to be praised. Who has
not enjoyed this delight? No music is SO
sweet, as the voice Of earnest and lofty com
mendation. 1t swelis the heart wlthconsclous
Importance, animates it to lorious deeds, and
difuse over it the sunshine of self complacenc1.
2. Praise is rerelation of our true excel
leace Why should lighted candle be put
under bushel? Truth is better than error.
If we are rich, learned, useful, pious, or great,
-or if we combine all these qualities In our
selves-why should not our excellence oe
known Praise is but the natural and COM
mon method Of disclosing our worth to the
world.
g. Praise is requisite to secure tor-eIs our dne
appreciation By the vorM. Every man has
right to be rightly priced by his tellows-to
ill his proper post in society. But how Is ne
te secure this right, If be be not commended
and extrolled by some one who knows his
merits?
Having demonstrated the necessity OF praise
lproceed 20 remark,
THAT OTHERS WILL NOT PRAISE US.
This is the plain doctrine Of the text. It's
amelancholy truth. Others ought, certainly
to perceieye what is so clear to US, our learn
iag, wealth, greatness and espectability OF US,
and our family. and have the honesty to pro
claim them. Whether they are blinded by sec
tartan partiali1ies, ar, absorbed IN meditation
on their own supposed excellencles, are envlous
ofour superior enaowments, Or are devoid OF
ahigh senseof theirobgation to praise others,
