In imagination I cordially take you by the hand, and call you brother. Happy are you if the allurements of the world have lost their charms; and Christ, as you hope, has made you an heir of glory. You have entered on a warfare; and though the enemy may not now be in full view, you will need to be clad with the whole armor of God to resist his wiles. Go on and rejoice. Do much for the cause of Christ. Be diligent in duty, and neglect not to warn your companions in sin. Be prudent, discreet; guard against temptation; be affectionate to your companions; let your example be upright, always trusting in God for assistance in every thing you do.
