Religion, my young friends, is not a subject to be trifled with; it is not a subject to be rejected with aversion or dislike. It comes to you as a message from heaven; it comes clothed with the authority of heaven's King; it comes to make you holy and happy; to raise you into a resemblance to your Creator, and meetness for his presence; and it is your highest interest, as it is your most important duty, to welcome this religion to your bosom, as the sweetest solace of life, and the richest inheritance of the soul.
