You may readily judge whether you are a child of God or a hypocrite by seeing in what direction your soul turns in seasons of severe trial. The hypocrite flies to the world and finds a sort of comfort there. But the child of God runs to his Father and expects consolation only from the Lord's hand.

I am not the only one that condemns the idle for once when I was going to give our minister a pretty long list of the sins of one of our people that he was asking after, I began with, He's dreadfully lazy. That's enough, said the old gentleman all sorts of sins are in that one.
