The Quiet Culture of Duty

We may abound in meetings and movements; enthusiastic gatherings in field or forest may kindle all minds with a common sentiment; great revivals may bear away thousands on a torrent of sympathy: but it is all in vain if men do not retire from the tumult to the silent culture of every right disposition, and the quiet practice of every duty; in vain, unless they patiently engrave the commandments of God on the inward tables; unless they hear a still small voice in the soul, and retain a warmth there, when the noise has ceased, and the flames have died away, as on the mount of ancient revelation.
