It should be natural, reasonable, and be- coming. SERMON XX. BY ALEXANDER TOUNOs LOVE TO CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST; WHOM HAVING NOT SEEN, TE LOVE. 1 Peter i. 8. A STRONG and tender attachment to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is a sentiment the most natural, reasonable, and becoming, in all who are capable of understanding his exalted character and of appreciating their obligations to him. This is no artificial or arbi- trary duty, but has its foundations in our nature, and is in harmony with the... best feelings and principles of the heart. It is deeply to be regretted, that the gross and famil* iar way in which enthusiasm sometimes proclaims the fervor of its religious affections should have rendered this topic of love to Christ in any degree distasteful — as I fear it has — to the sober, judicious, thoughtful portion of the Christian community. Regarding piety as a sacred sentiment of the individual soul, and calm in proportion to its depth, they find it difiicult to sym- pathize with that impassioned and fervid expression of feeling which seems to be considered by some the only proper evidence of sincere love to Christ.
