e., consecrate or devote] my- self" The apostle Paul offered himself upon the sacrifice and service of his converts' faith. And the prophet before us — in submitting thus fully, in ac- quiescing thus cheerfully, to a dispensation that was 12 to deprive him of the desire of his eyes and rive his heart with anguish, for the sake of the people's good and God's glory, offered himself upon the sacrifice and service — not, it is true, of the people's faith ; for they had no faith, but, at least, of t...he people's highest well-being and happiness, which he sought, as it has been well remarked, with a constancy and disinter- estedness unknown to themselves. Here, then, the prophet may well be, and is worthy to be, my teacher. With a spirit of self-denial and devotion which exalts him to a place among ancient Christian worthies, he voluntarily offered his own wife, as it were, a sacrifice to the people's well-being. An intimation this to me that I also ought to be willing to part with my dear- est ea^rthly friend for the sake of my people's good and to save souls here from death.
