Let us select one vice for the axe then to-night, and give God in heaven the satisfaction of seeing that His long-suffering with us has not been wholly in vain.

Let us lay the axe at one vice from this night.

And what one from among so many shall it be?
What is the mockery of preaching if a preacher does not practise?
And, accordingly, I have selected one vice out of my thicket for next year.

Will you do the same?
The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him.

Just make your selection and keep it to yourself, at least till you are able this time next year to say to us--Come, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what He hath done for my soul.
