WE need more of it, a hundredfold more than we have. Enthusiasm in science, in trade, in politics, we have plenty of; and all that is done for the advance of business and learning, is done by enthusiastic men. The word needs to be guarded, but the prudent reader knows that enthusiasm is not fanaticism. The grandest subject in all the universe of God taking full possession of the soul, ought to fill it with intense emotion. It shall profit a man nothing to gain the whole world, and lose his own soul; and if we praise him who pursues business with so much industry and tact as to gain a million before he dies, shall we not much more admire the enthusiasm of him who gains heaven? Our friends, children, neighbors—we can do something to save them. If they were on a ship, wrecked off shore, or in a burning house, we would be enthusiastic to deliver them from death. May we not be enthusiastic in delivering them from hell? The apostles were enthusiastic. The Saviour himself was filled with zeal. All the best men who have been mighty in pulling down error, or building up truth, have been enthusiastic. God grant that the church may rise and shake herself from the dust. It is a time to be up and doing. Let us work while it is day.
