and we ought to do it. It is our highest privilege and our most solemn duty. And if we do it not, I think it must fill the angels with confusion and the fiends in the bottomless pit with a kind of hideous joy. We ought to do it for this is almost the only thing we do on earth that we shall not cease to do in heaven. Weeping and fasting and watching and praying and self-denying and cross-bearing and conflict with hell will cease. But praise to God, hallelujah, shall continue eternally.
