Ye men of God, be not conformed to this world: act not like those who have their good things here, but act on your own heavenly principles. Let every gift of God draw your hearts more to himself. When the sun of earthly prosperity shines bright; when the candle of the Lord is on your dwelling; take heed that you forsake not the Lord your God, who maketh you to prosper. When he exalts you with prosperity, you should sink in humility, fear, and trembling. Let Christians see to it, that no bounty or gift of God run away with their hearts, and remove them farther from him; but let every instance of his loving kindness draw their affections heavenward.
