I Had Often Heard Mentor Say, That The Voluptuous Were Never Brave, And I Now Found By Experience That It Was True; For The Cyprians Whose Jollity Had Been So Extravagant And Tumultuous, Now Sunk Under A Sense Of Their Danger And Wept Like Women. I Heard Nothing But The Screams Of Terror And The Wailings Of Hopeless Distress. Some Lamented The Loss Of Pleasures That Were Never To Return; But None Had Presence Of Mind Either To Undertake Or Direct The Navigation Of The Menaced Vessel.

How Can You Expect God To Speak In That Gentle And Inward Voice Which Melts The Soul, When You Are Making So Much Noise With Your Rapid Reflections? Be Silent And God Will Speak Again.

Let Us Endeavor To Commence Every Enterprise With A Pure View To The Glory Of God, Continue It Without Distraction, And Finish It Without Impatience.

It Is Not The Multitude Of Hard Duties, It Is Not The Constraint And Contention That Advance Us In Our Christian Course. On The Contrary, It Is The Yielding Of Our Wills Without Restriction And Without Choice To Tread Cheerfully Every Day In The Path In Which Providence Leads Us. It Is To Seek Nothing, To Be Discouraged By Nothing, To See Our Duty In The Present Moment, And To Trust All Else Without Reserve To The Will And Power Of God.
