Why not resolve that you will now remember and obey your Creator, when the duty will be so much easier, if you begin betimes, when the heart is most susceptible of the holy and hallow- ing influences of God's spirit, — most open and yielding to the impressions of relig- ious truth, — most easily fashioned to a resemblance of Jesus, in his perfect love Digitized by Google FROM A PASTOR. 123 to God and man, — when you will have so few habits adverse to a religious life to vanquish — when you will... have so few tears of regret and penitence to shed, and these with so much less of bitterness in them, — ^when you will have so much more peace and joy of heart in life, and at your last hour a confidence in God so much more sweet and blessed from having given to him the dew of your youth and the strength of your mature years ? 2, For another reason why youth is the fittest period for commencing a relig* ious life, is the consideration that in the spring time of life you have greater sensibility ; — your affections are more easily moved, — your heart is most ten- der ; — you receive more readily and deeply the stamp and impress of that form of character, to which religion would mould her disciples.
