25. NO HAPPINESS BELOW.

Never shall I attain to happiness, while I seek it in the creature, or expect it outside of heaven! O how little concern should I have with the things of time, who am so far on my journey towards eternity!

When the world gets into the affections, there is nothing but tumult and disorder there; this I have long found.

But when heaven dwells within, the heart becomes a little heaven, and all is peace and serenity, composure and joy. O! then, to keep the heart barred against 'enchanting trifles,' and to live above everything below.

At the hour of death, I shall make my triumphant entry into the New Jerusalem, and from the walls of the holy city I shall bid defiance to all the cares of life, the pleasures of sense, the multitudes of corruption, and the legions of hell.

26. GOD A NEVER-FAILING PORTION.
