Neglecting the Important.

The (man) is curious to wash, dress and perfume his body, but careless of his soul. The one shall have many hours, the other not so many minutes. This shall have three cr four new suits in a year, but that must wear its old clothes still. If he be to receive a great man,, how nice and anxious is he that all strings be in order? And with what respect and address does he approach and make his court? But to God, how dry and formal and constrained in his devotion! In his prayers he says, thy will be done. But means his own: At least acts so.— William Pain.
