“Live for something! Do good and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storm of time can never destroy.

“I feel my disease, and I feel that my want of alarm and lively affecting conviction forms its most obstinate ingredient; I try to stir up the emotion, and feel myself harassed and distressed at the impotency of my own meditations.
