"...and Jonah, bruised and beaten- his ears, like two sea shells, still multitudinously murmuring of the ocean- Jonah did the Almighty's bidding. And what was that, shipmates? To preach the Truth to the face of Falsehood ! That was it ! This, shipmates, this is that other lesson; and woe to that pilot of the living God who slights it. Woe to him whom this world charms from Gospel duty! Woe to him who seeks to pour oil upon the waters when God has brewed them into a gale ! Woe to him who seeks to please rather than appal ! Woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness ! Woe to him who, in this world courts not dishonor ! Woe to him who would not be true, even though to be false were salvation ! Yea, woe to him who, as the great Pilot Paul has it, while preaching to others is himself a castaway!" ............."delight is to him, who gives no quarter in the truth, and kills, burns, and destroys all sin though he plucks it out from under the robes of Senators and Judges. Delight,-top-gallant delight is to him, who acknowledges no law nor lord, but the Lord his God, and is only a patriot to heaven."Excerpts from Herman Melville's classic " Moby Dick " chapter nine, "The Sermon". All of us need to heed the warnings of our Father against fellowship with darkness. |
