Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plain Sermons, Vol. 7 Such is the comfortable promise which the Church draws forth out of her divine stores, the Oracles of god, to support and cheer us now on the first Sunday of the new year. In early youth, men are not so greatly tempted to fear or to be disheartened; but, unless they learn where to find true and substantial comfort, and unless they can look to something whereon their hopes may rest securely, each new year is sure to bring them discouragement and fear. Young people, at first, expect to find this world full of enjoy ment; and whilst their hearts are yet comparatively pure, their hopes strong, and their minds vigorous, they too often persuade themselves there is no danger that they shall ever be led into any gross or grievous sin. But as years go on, we are all forced to learn, that this world is full of trouble and perplexity, rather than of ease and enjoy ment; that we must expect each year to bring its share of sorrow and disappointment, yes, and of temptation also and what is far worse, we find that these temptations prove to be greater than we are able to withstand.
