LAZINEss IN BIBLE READING.
The following confession and
prayer by Rev. DR.. Thos. Fuller,
it is to be feared, covers the case
of many others besides himself:
"L0rd, I discover an arrant lazi-
ness in my soul. For when I am
to read a chapter i'll the Bible, be-
fore | begin it, I look where it en-
deth; and if it endeth not on the
same side, | cannot keep my hand
fion turning over the leaf, to
measure the lengththereofon the
other side; if it swell to many
verses, I begin to grudge.
"Surely, my heart is not rightly
affected. Were l truly hungryae-
ter heavenly food, I would not
complain of meat. Scourge, Lord,
this laziness Of soul. Make the
reading of Thy Word not a pen
ance, but pleasure upon me
Teach me thatas among heaps eff
gold, all equally pure, that is best
which is biggest, so may I esteem
that chapter in Thy Word the
best which is the longest"
