Practical Christian Instruction
By Editor
As every Christian needs practical as well as doctrinal instruction; as it is important that we be instructed how to attain that holiness of heart without which no man shall see the Lord, as well as to have a correct theory of the truth; we shall endeavor from week to week to present something on the subject. We commence in this number a series of extracts from a work entitled, "A Treatise on Keeping the Heart," by John Flavel, which we trust will be found well adapted to our present wants. The article, "Progress in Piety," is also of the same nature. We trust that the interest all feel in "growing in grace," and keeping their hearts "with all diligence," in view of the scenes before us, will render it unnecessary for us to call attention to these articles to secure for them a careful perusal.
