- 283 But I am too long. Never sell your birthright for any mess of pottage. Never be the degenerate and dishonest son of worthy and upright parents. Never blot a good family record—a black sheep in the household. Never throw the rein on the neck of the senses, but make the soul your master. Let duty, not inclination, control your conduct and govern your way. Bid the Esau of your senses pack and begone, and summon Jacob to the top and front of your life—the God-born man, who despised the pleasures of sin for a season, and had an eye to the issues of eternity, to spiritual qualities, to the recompense of reward. So doing, you shall share the Lord's paradise at last in the other world across the big divide.

286 And here on earth you shall be counted among those who continued the blessed work Abraham began—the glorious fight, young man, of the soul against the senses, of eternity against time, of heaven against earth. Begin it now, to-day, at once, to claim kinship with God, and clasp to your heart with hoops of steel that covenant blessing which certifies to us that we are children of God, heirs of an immortal life, and enlisted to fight against the world, the flesh, and the devil in a life-long warfare under the banner of the Redeemer’s Cross.
