God. Our means have not been given to us for the gratification of pride
and love of display. We are to be wise stewards, and clothe the naked,
feed the hungry, and give our means to advance the cause of God. If
we want adornment, the graces of meekness, humility, modesty, and
prudence are suited to every person, in every rank and condition of
life.
Shall we not take our stand as faithful sentinels, and by precept and
example frown down indulgence in the dissipation and extravagance
of this degenerate age? Shall we not set a right example to our youth,
and whether we eat or drink, or whatsoever we do, do all to the glory
of God?—
