CECIL. The approaches of sin are like the conduct of Jael. It brings butter in a lordly dish. It bids high foi the soul. But when it has fascinated and lulled the victim, the nail and the hammer are behind. I HAVE met with one case in my ministry, very fre- quent and very distressing. A man says to me, " I ap- prove all you say. I see things to be just as you state them. I see a necessity, a propriety, a beauty in the religion of Christ. I see it to be interesting and import- ant. But I do not ...feel it. I cannot feel it. I have no spirit of prayer. My heart belies my head : its affec- tions refuse to follow my convictions. " If this com- plaint be ingenuous, it is an evidence of grace ; and I say, " Wait for God, and he will appear. " But, too often, it is not ingenuous : the heart is actually indis- posed : some tyrant holds it in bondage. The com- plaint is a mockery — because there is no sincerity of endeavor to obtain the object of which it pretends to lament the want — there is no sincere desire and pray- er for the quickening and breathing of God's Holy Spirit on the torpid soul.
