Excerpt from Lead Me to the Rock

The Bible is not SO pleasing and profitable. You do not read it as a pleasure, but from a sense Of duty. Secret prayer, this closest communion with God, is not a delight, as it used to be, but it is only the con straint Of conscience that forces you, in a careless and perfunctory way, to hurry over your stereo typed form Of petitions and thanks before lying down to rest or before entering on the unknown duties and trials Of a new day.

And thus, instead Of widening the mark that sep arates you from the world, you have been constantly narrowing it and allowing it to be obliterated. You know that if a stranger were to judge by your daily walk and conversation he would never suppose that you were a member of the Church. You know yourself that you are not Showing forth the beauty Of holiness by a consistent life. You know that you are full Of passions and principles, and follow habits and practices that are unbecoming a Christian, one professing godliness, a follower Of the meek and lowly Jesus.
