help, let us ask God to help and guide us in every action of our
lives, and then go manfully forward, doing with all our might
whatsoever our hands or our hearts see right to do, trusting to God
to put us in the right path, and to fill our heads with right
thoughts and our hearts with right feeling; and so our faith will
shew itself in our works, and we shall be justified at the last day,
as all good men have ever been, by trusting to our Heavenly Father
and to the Lord Jesus Christ, and the guidance of His Holy Spirit.



SERMON VI. THE SPIRIT AND THE FLESH



GALATIANS, v. 16.

"I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lusts
of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary the one to the
other."

The more we think seriously, my friends, the more we shall see what
wonderful and awful things words are, how they mean much more than
we fancy,--how we do not make words, but words are given to us by
one higher than ourselves. Wise men say that you can tell the
character of any nation by its language, by watching the words they
use, the names they give to things, for out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaks, and by our words, our Lord tells us, we
shall be justified and condemned.
