Excerpt from A Discourse: Delivered at Plymouth, Mass;, December 22, 1848
IN respect to human happiness and glory, there is a remarkable difference between the words of the holy men who of old spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, and those of other men generally, whatever their land or their language. Other men speak of happiness, without any reference to joy in God, or delight in his law and of glory, when the Most High, who only is great, wonderful in counsel and excellent in work ing, is not in all their thoughts of greatness, of wis dom, and of excellency. But they, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, have spoken of happiness and glory, in the name of the Father of lights and the God of comfort, always speak of happiness, as but the pleasure of sin, and of glory, as but a vain show and a fatal delusion, unless the soul doth magnify the Lord, and the spirit rejoice in God the Saviour.
It is, therefore, undoubtedly to be understood, that the old men who would find the crown of their earthly satisfactions and hopes in children's children, were those pre-eminently, who had feared the Lord from their youth, and whose hoary head was a crown of glory.
