                   disobey. And if we are asked, How can you


               afford  to  keep  the  Sabbath,  and  do  other


               duties involved in rendering obedience to the


               truth? we have only to ask in reply, How can


               you afford not to do it? And in the coming day,


               when  those  who  have  sought  to  save  their



               lives shall lose them, and those who have been


               willing to hazard all for the sake of the truth


               and its divine Lord, shall receive the glorious


               reward promised in the text, and be raised up


               to  shine  as  the  firmament,  and  as  the


               imperishable    stars  forever  and  ever,  it  will


               then be seen who have been wise, and who on


               the  contrary,  have  made  the  choice  of


               blindness and folly. The wicked and worldly


               now  look  upon  Christians  as  fools  and


               madmen,  and  congratulate  themselves  upon


               their superior shrewdness in shunning what


               they call their folly, and avoiding their losses.
