How many thousands of per- ie 162 FALSE MODESTY SODS, not excluding children and numbers of the weak- er sex, have consented to wear the thorny crown of martyrdom, rather than deny the gospel of their Sa- viour ! And shall modern Christians be ashamed of that trifling portion of worldly contempt which may faD to their share ? Shall we sacrifice our souls for the vain customs of a world which in a few years we must leave forever ? Observe the firmness of Saint Paul. Nothing could daunt his resol...ution. He gloried in the cross of Christ, though he was ridiculed for it by some of the most po- lite and learned nations then upon earth, and perse- cuted by some of the most cruel and implacable. He travelled from city to city, disseminating, amidst the scods and taunts of an enraged populace, the doctrines of a crucified Redeemer. To the Greeks, his preach- ing was foolishness ; so that in the long list of his per- secutions may be enumerated what, to a man of the apostle's refined education and literary attainments, must have been peculiarly mortifying, the charge of being a weak and ignorant enthusiast.
