The Young Lady's Counsellor by Daniel Wise

:
126 THE YOUNG LADY's COUISSELLOR,
has but to let light shine upon his heart, to make
him as morally loathsome in his own eyes, as he
would be physically if he were to fall into a ditch.
Saint Paul also nvide this experiment of selfpurification,
with all the might of his great soul.
What was the result ? Behold it in his pathetic cry
of despair
" O, wretched man that I am ! who shall deliver
vie from the body of this death ? "
By whom, therefore, is deliverance to be won ?
Whose hand can break the yoke of evil passions ?
Whose wand can bring forth beauty in the spirit ?
Let the apostle answer. Hear his " lo triumphe !
" The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hatk
MADE ME FREE ! " That is, the Holy Spirit, received
into the heart by faith in Christ, was the means of
'
delivering him
from his evil propensities, and of enabling
him to produce those fruits of the Spirit
which were the ornament of his life.
Go, then, dear
young lady, and imitate the hcly apostle. Lay the
foundations of a lovely character in a convertc-i
heart. Let the grace of the Lord Jesus create you
