THE NEW CONVERT, 
 
 
 ** Grace be unto you, and peace from God our 
 Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ" As you 
 profess to have obtaiiwd "redemption through 
 the blood of Christ, even the forgiveness of sin," 
 I most sincM^Iy congratulate you on the delightful 
 change which has taken place in your circum- 
 stances. You have happily turned from darkness 
 to light, escaped from the bondage of sin, fled 
 from the curse of the law, passed from death unto 
 life ; and although once a '< child of wrath, even 
 as others," you have received the Spirit of 
 adoption, and are now a child of God ! " Blessed 
 be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only 
 doeth wondrous things." Great and manifold 
 are the privileges you now enjoy ! Jesus is now 
 your Saviour; the Spirit is now your Comforter ; 
 the promises of the gospel are now your inheri- 
 tance ; and if found faithful to the grace imparted, 
 heaven will be your eternal home. If you would 
 retain these privileges, there are a few thii^gs 
 wluch you must «bii«rve.

 tell you, there is no ^ueh blessing to be obtained. 
 T would therefore not have vou iirnorant of 
 Satan's devices, but pi-epared to re^i!>t him, 
 steadfast in tiie faith.

 between your conversion and theirs, and plead 
 that diii'erence as a reason why you should admit

 that conversion may be equally genuine, whether

 that ** silent awo which dares not move ;" whether 
 it be accompanied with rapturous joy, or merely 
 with tranquility of soul ; or whether the evidence 
 of it be more or less clear to the mind ; as, I 
 imagine, the difference found in the mental 
 constitution, tlie degree of Scripture knowledge 
 possessed by persons at the period of their 
 conversion, and the strength of fsiith exercised 
 when the promise of salvation is accepted, will 
 satisfactorily account for these and other points 
 of difference which might be mentioned. 
 
 Should he strive to rob you of the blessing 
 received, by denying the possibility of any per- 
 son obtaining in this world a knowledge of 
 forgiveness, tell him that Christ came into the 
 world " to give the knowledge of salvation by 
 the remission of sins ;" that it is written, "He 
 that believeth hath the witness in himself ;" 
 and that " the Spirit itself beareth witness 
 with our spirit that we are the children of 
 God." 
 
 Should he endeavour to perplex you with 
 the mystery of the Spirit's witness, and thereby 
 seek to shake your confidence, tell him that, 
 as mysteiy is impreased upon all the works of 
 Jehovah, it is not sufiicient to invalidate the 
 truth of the Spirit's witness, and that we may 
 tfijoy what we cannot ezi^Um as cott^head ; 
 
fBB HBW CONVERT. 7 
 
 that we may possess the blessiag of sight, 
 without the knowledge of cities ; the advan- 
 tages of hearing, without any acquaintance 
 with the theory of sound ; that " the wind 
 bloweth where it hstoth, and we hear the 
 sound thereof, but cannot tell whence it cometli, 
 or whither it goeth ; so is every one that is 
 born of the Spirit ;" and that there is no greater 
 mystery in the Spirit's witnessing to the mind 
 of a believer that he is adopted, than in his 
 wknessing to the conscience of a wicked naan 
 that he m a sinner before God^ and in danger of 
 pori^ng. 
 
 Or, should h3 stiill harass your mind, and in 
 other ways, and by other means, strive to take 
 away your feith said comfort, go at once to the 
 blood of the atonement, and by simple faith 
 take hold of the promise of salvation with a 
 firmer gra^, and, in spite of every suggestion, 
 believe. When he who addresses you first 
 attended a Wesleyan Methodist class meeting, 
 an aged pilgiim, of more than fourscore yeai-s 
 of age, rose and said to the company assembletl, 
 " My Christian friends, the last has been a 
 week of severe temptation. Satan suggested 
 to me that I was decwving myself; and al- 
 though I had professed to enjoy religion for 
 more than sixty years, I had all the time been

 under a delusion. For some tirao the tempta- 
 tion ^vas distressing-, especially as my nervous 
 temperament inclined mo to yield to it, until I 
 replied to the accuser of the brethren, ' If it be 
 so, my case is not yet hopeless. If I have not 
 relio-ioii, I may have it. The foimtain for sin 
 and unclcanness yet stands open ; and I am 
 invited to go to it, to go as I am, to go noic^ 
 I went," said the aged saint, " and in a moment 
 the snare was broken, and my soul received a 
 fresh manifestation of God's love." See that 
 yon do I'dxivisc, whenever you are brought into 
 darkness or perplexity respecting your acceptance 
 with God. 
 
 II. Act conahfenlly with the character you 
 now sustcii7i. — If you be in Christ, remember, 
 you are a " new creature," and the whole of your 
 conduct must fi'ive evidence thereof. If the 
 tree 1)0 made good, the fruit will be good also. 
 If the fountain bo cleansetl, the streams like- 
 wise will be pure ; for we do not make void 
 the law through faith, but we establish it. If 
 your relii'fion <lo not lead to a holy life, it is 
 not savinti'. No de^'iee, even of iovous feelinjj:, 
 will establish your claim to iMcty, if your life 
 do not accord with the law of God. If you 
 have been addicted to the sin of falsehood, or 
 <'ursi]ig, or f^landor, or llattery, or drunkenness,

 ever, voii iiuist hoiK'ei'ortli entirely abstain from 
 it, and, in humble dejientlanco n})on the Saviour, 
 endeavour to heep your garments unspotted 
 from the world, t»r }ou will grieve the " Holy 
 Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed \nito 
 the day of redemption," jmd greatly injure that 
 bles^^ed cause von have now espoust'(L Nor 
 is this ail ; for if you would maintain tlie elia- 
 ractcr of a sincere disciple of Christ, you must 
 imiuediatelv connect Y(.)urself with some reli- 
 pious bodv, attend the. means «,f p-race, confess 
 Clu'ist before men, ;nid fullv idenlitV yourself 
 with God's cause and jteoplo. 
 
 Never engage in any thing upon which you 
 cannot ask the divine blessing ; as that must 
 be an improper exercise with which y»Hi cannot 
 associate a devotional spirit. Tiy your conduct 
 daily by this test, and serve God in eviMy 
 thinrr, that every part of your life may be a 
 part of piety, and every art a sacritlco well 
 pleasing in his sight. Whatever be your rela- 
 tive situation in lite, strive by divine grace 
 faithfully to discharge the duties of your sta- 
 tion. Are you a ■master:' "Forbear threaten- 
 ing and g•i^■e to your servants that which is 
 
i! 
 
 11: 
 
 
 10 THK NKW COimCBT. 
 
 just and equal ; knowing that you also liave a 
 Master in heaven, and there is no respect of 
 persons with him." Are you a servant / " Be 
 subject to your master with all fear ; not only 
 to the good and gentle, but also to the froward ; 
 not with eye-service, as a man-pleaser, but as 
 a servant of Christ, doing the will of God from 
 the heart;" and by modest behaviour, sweet- 
 ness of temper, strict honesty, and faithful at- 
 tention to the work assigned you, " adorn the 
 doctiine of God your Saviour." Are you a 
 husband ? " Love your wife," and that with a 
 sincere, constant, and tender affection, "even 
 as Christ also loved the church, and gave him- 
 self for it." Are you a wife ? « Submit your- 
 self to your own husband as unto the Lord ; for 
 the husband is the head of the wife, even as 
 Christ is the head of the church ; therefore as 
 the church is subject unto Christ, so let wives 
 be unto their own husbands." Are you a 
 parent ? *' Provoke not your children to wrath," 
 by administering correction, either unnecessa- 
 rily, or under the influence of irritation ; but 
 endeavour to instil into their minds the prin- 
 ciples of Christianity ; and, by example as 
 well as precept, labour to " bring them up in 
 the nurture and admonition of the Lord." Are 
 you a ckUd ? ** Honour your parents ;" and

 not only by consulting them, and submitting to 
 their authority, but by sustaining them in old 
 age, and invariably treating them with respect, 
 nhat it may be well with you, for this is the 
 first commandment with promise." 
 
 Such is the Saviour's yoke, which you have 
 taken upon you ; and if you live by simple 
 faith, you will find his yoke easy, and his bur- 
 den light. If you should meet with opposition 
 in the path of duty, be not dismayed; for he 
 that is for you is greater than all that are 
 against you, and has promised to " supply your 
 every need according to his riches in glory by 
 Christ Jesus." 
 
 III. Watch against those evils hy which 
 many in your circumstances have been overcome. 
 —As a mere « babe in Christ," you are in danger 
 of being influenced by several things of per- 
 nicious tendency ; and against which I would 
 att'ectionately caution you, that you may not be 
 «* entangled in an evil net." For instance, you 
 are in danger of sjnritual pride. As your grand 
 adversary has not been able to prevent your 
 acceptance of salvation, the probability is that 
 he will now tempt you to be exalted above 
 measure, through the abundance of the gracious 
 revelation with which God has blessed you ; 
 and if you should possess talents for useful-

 ness, and bo especially noticed hy the people 
 of God, that temptation is the more likely to 
 succee<.l. V/jitcli therefore an'ain<:t it, imder 
 whatever aspect it may present itsi-lf to your 
 mind ; and " ho clothed with humility as with 
 a r.'nrment," hn nvinij: that "ho who exalteth 
 jliimself .shall be abased, and ho that humbloth 
 himself shall be exalted."' 
 
 You are also in tlano'er of ccnnoriousness. 
 Some new con\erts!, in the ardour of their first 
 lo^■e, very impropei-ly judii'o of old professors 
 of relij/'on by their own feclinn-s and views ; 
 and i. tluw do not come up to the standard by 
 whii'h they unwarrantably test them, they at 
 once condemn them as criminally formal, if 
 not entirely dead to God. Xow I would ha\o 
 you carefullv to walcli ao-ainst the intluence of 
 such a spirit, and strive to cultivate and main- 
 tain that charity wliieh " sulTereth long, and is 
 kind, and which thinketh no evil."* Put the 
 best consti'uction riiion everv thino- you either 
 sec or hear of them ; mid if facts should com- 
 pel you to b; Hevo that all are not Israel who 
 are called Israel, let not that turn you out of 
 the way, or excite within you a suspicious and 
 uncharitable sjiirit in leference to others.

 of administering grace to the hearei-s, will de- 
 generate into mere gossip ; and fashions, court- 
 ships, marriages, and the merest trifles, will 
 form your theme, rather than the |cros8 of 
 Christ Watch, therefore, and never remain 
 longer in any company, even of religious i)er- 
 sons, than you can communicate or receive 
 good ; and in your intercourse with them, never 
 forget, that " for every idle word which a man 
 shall speak, he shall give an account thereof 
 in the day of judgment." 
 
 IV. Punctually attend to the duties of your 
 closet. — Self examination is one of those duties. 
 "Examine yourselves," saith the apostle, and 
 " prove your own selves." Test your motives, 
 feelings, ihoi^hts^ conversation, actious> mekI 
 in fact every thing connected with your reli- 
 gious experience and character, by the infalli- 
 ble word of God, And to do this efl5ciently, it 
 must be done regularly. The conclusion of 
 each day will probably be found the most con- 
 venient and proper time for this important 
 exercise. Previously to your retiring to rest, 
 you should, in the fear of the Lord, solemnly 
 and deliberately review the proceedings of the 
 day, and carefully investigate the state of your 
 soul before God ; and, to assist you in this 
 work, you may propose to^ yourself the follow •

 return to th'^ir respective homes, told what great 
 things the L'>rd had done for them, and thua 
 became the l >noureil agents of leading others to 
 the possessioi of the same enjoyments. Certain 
 it is that Christianity was not introduced into 
 Anti'jch by the apostles, but by a few of iheir 
 converts, — " men of Cyprus and Cyrene, wlio 
 were scattered abroad upon the persecuticn that

 ardent desire to bo so em])loyed : Ibr the moment

 VI. SteJc after higher attainments in religion, 
 —Your condition as a new convert, though 
 deeply interesting, and the occasion of joy in the 
 presence of the angels of God, is nevertheless 
 that of a naere child in grace. Now, as a new- 
 born babe, you are, according to the advice of 
 the apostle, to « desire the sincere milk of the 
 word, that yci; may grow thereby." There is a 
 higlier stf^te of grace to which you are called, 
 and which is obviously alluded to in those pas- 
 sages of Scripture which speak of being « cleansed 
 from all unrighteousness," of being " filled with 
 the Spirit," of « loving God with all the heart, 
 soul, mind, and strength," of having « brought 
 into captivity every thought to the obedience of 
 Christ," of being *• filled with thi fulness of God," 
 and of being •< sanctified wholly." These are but 
 different views of the same pyramid of glory, 
 corresponding with the positions from which the 
 sacred penman gazed upon it ; or, if you please, 
 they are so many different shades of the same 
 beautiful bow of promise, which our covenant 
 God has given to his church. 
 
 Entire sanctification, as this state of grace is 
 most frequently designated, difters in several 
 particulars from the state of justification which 
 you profess to enjoy. For instance, he who is 
 justified is but "a babe in Christ ;" whereas he 
 
TUX HfttW CONVSBX. 
 
 23 
 
 that is entirely sanctified is ''a father in the 
 Lord." In the former, corruption is subdued, 
 but still lives ; whereas in the latter it is totally 
 destroyed. In the one, the poisonons tree of cor- 
 ruption is cut down ; but in the other, all its 
 roots of bitterness are extracted. Now this is the 
 prize of your high calling which is set before you 
 in the Scriptures, and without the attainment of 
 which you must never rest. You are now happy 
 in God, and rejoicing in possession of the great 
 things he has done for you ; and will probably 
 not discover at the present your need of bemg 
 entirely santified : but you must nevertheless 
 grow in grace. And if at any future period you 
 should feel the re^^^ains of your corrupt nature, 
 such as pride, anger, self-will, unbelief, envy, 
 covetousness, and other things of a similar nature, 
 struggling within you for the mastery, do not^ on 
 that account, give up your confidence in the 
 Saviour, but immediately seek to be entirely 
 sanctified : for while these evils do not in any 
 degree reign, they may nevertheless, in their 
 subdued state, exist in the soul of a justified 
 person, and nothing but the blessing of entire 
 sanctification can effectually remove them. 
 
 Perhaps you say that the blessing is too great 
 for so unworthy a person as you ever to enjoy. 
 That it is indeed a great bles»ng, cannot be

 deiiiode but God lias already bestowed uf-on you 
 
 a greatei-. He lias given you Jiis oiilv beo-otten 
 
 Son ; "and shall he not -with him freely givo 
 
 you all thino-s ?" And as to your unwortliiness, 
 
 you certainly do not expect to make yourself 
 
 worthy of it. ]3csides, God gave you pardon 
 
 when you weie nnwoillu- ; and never did you 
 
 feel yourself more undeserviiiir of that blessiiKr 
 
 11 ~ rt 
 
 than at the Aery moment the Lord besto^ved it 
 
 on 3'ou. Be encoui'aged, therefore, to seek after 
 this inestimable blessing in the way which God 
 directs. 
 
 Some imagine, that although they arc justi- 
 fied by faith, they nmst be sanctified by woi-ks. 
 We admit that the man who is justfi(\l must be 
 careful to maintain good works, and gi\e all dili- 
 gence to make his calling and election sure, or ho 
 Avill forfeit his adoption ; yet mo contend that his 
 works do not, in whole or in part, procure the 
 blessing of entire sanctification. It is to be re- 
 ceived by faith alone; foi' man is as much saved 
 from the pollution of sin by faith, as he is saved 
 from the guilt of sin by it. The faith that iusti- 
 fies t^kes hold on the pr<.)mise of justification, and 
 in a moment that promise is realized. The faith 
 that entirely sanctifies, grasi)s the promise of en- 
 tire sanctification, "and looks to that alone." It 
 does not look at umvoi'thine.ss, or any of the difii-

 culties which may present thonisclvos in the way 
 of your l)eing fsaxed from all sin, bnt to the pro- 
 mise of God; and liavino- flrmlv laid hold on 
 that, it 
 
 " Laughs at iinpossibilitios, 
 Ami cries, It shall bo tlouc." 
 
 See, thercforo, yonr privilege ; and, with the 
 apostle, " this one thing do, — forgetting thoso 
 things which are behind, and reaching forth to 
 those things which are before, press toward the 
 mark for tlie prize of the high calling of God i!i 
 Christ Jesus." 
 
 Renieni])er, there is no remaininix stationary in 
 religion; and if you do not grow in grace, you 
 cannot retain your present enjoyments ; every 
 action of your life, every word of yonr lips, and 
 every thought of yoiu- heart, possesses a moral 
 character, and is on the side either of virtue or 
 vice, — of heaven or hell ; consec[uently you arc 
 every rnoment pleasing or displeasing God, — ad- 
 vancino- or retrojxradinu: in the v»ath of duty. 
 How impressive the thought! And what an 
 excitement to diligence I Let your motto there- 
 fore be, "Onward'/' that you may not bo of 
 " them who draw back unto perdition, but of them 
 that believe to the saving of the soul." 
 
 yil. Solemnhj resolve, in the strenfjth of the 
 Lordy never to bacJcsIide. — On this point be de- 
 cided; and never for one moment entortain the

 •%Jite8t purpose of drawing back to the world ; 
 but be willing to perform any duty, to make any 
 sacrifice, to suffer any privation, or to endum any 
 hardship, rather than act so unworthy a part. 
 You have no need to draw back. It is true, that 
 if you live m the faithful discharge of your duty, 
 you will meet with opposition; but the Lord is 
 on your side, and will with every temptation make 
 a way for your escape. There is no difficulty in 
 the path of duty which you may not surmount, 
 no cross which you may not sustain, an<l no ene- 
 my which you may not vanquish ; for if, in hum- 
 ble dependance upon God's promised aid, you 
 attend to the preceding directions, you will find 
 grace to help in every time of need; and as your 
 day, so shall your strength be. 
 
 In the diflTerent ages of the world, the peo- 
 ple of God have successfully resisted every 
 kind of temptation ; they have patiently borne 
 every species of suffering ; they have glori- 
 ously overcome every form of opposition ; and 
 he in whom they trusted is *♦ the same yester- 
 day, to-day, and for ever." If you, therefore, 
 determine to go forward, implicitly trusting in 
 " the Author and Finisher of your faith," 
 nothing can prevent you from receiving the 
 " end of that faith, even the salvation of your 
 soul.'*

 Nor is it necessary that you should in any 
 measure lose your first love. I am aware that 
 6ome persons think it impossible to retain that 
 simplicity and ardour which generally charac- 
 terize this state of grace ; but certainly with- 
 out having fully considered the subject. Was 
 not the church of Ephesus severely rebuked 
 by the Saviour for having left his first love ? 
 And do not all the figures employed in the 
 Scriptures to illustrate the work of God in the 
 soul of man, invariably represent it as a pro- 
 gressive work 1 ** Hold fast," therefore, ** the 
 beginning of your confidence steodfast to the 
 end ;" and your path will be that of the just, 
 '* which, like the shining light, shineth more 
 and more unto the perfect day." 
 
 You have no inducement to draw back. 
 You now enjoy invaluable privileges; but if 
 you draw back, you forfeit them all, and ex- 
 change light for darkness, liberty for bondage, 
 happiness for misery, honour for debasement, 
 and even life for death. You have already 
 tried the service of sin, and found it as unsa- 
 tisfactory as it is unsafe ; and you cannot re- 
 turn to it without violating the most solemn 
 vows, withstanding the entreaties and prayers 
 of your kindest friends, opposing the claims 
 of your armed conscience, and ** crucifying

 for the sake of enjoying the ])lensures of sin 
 fur u season ? Surely not. Go forward, and 
 your condition will daily improve : but draw

 ness, and danger will be worse than your first. 
 Go forward, and the blessing of God will attend 
 you in ull your ways, and rest upon all you 
 possess : but draw back, and the malediction 
 of heaven will fall upon you ; and Jehovah 
 will, according to his word, even " curse your 
 blessings." Go forward, and the Lordwill 
 make you useful, in turning sinners from dark- 
 ness to light, and from the j)ower of Satan to 
 God: but draw back, and you will probably 
 ''destroy some for whom Christ died," and 
 stain your skirts with the blood of souls. Go 
 forward, and in due time you shall possess an 
 inheritance that is incorruptible, a kingdom 
 which cannot be moved, and a crown that fa- 
 deth not away ; but draw back, and your sor-

 more than three years they walked in the fear 
 of the Lord, and in the comforts of the Holy 
 Ghost. They were much admired for their 
 simplicity, zeal, and Christian propriety ; and 
 the society with which they were connected 
 enrertained the most sanguine hope of their 
 Cawre usefulness in the church of Christ. They 
 were, however, on a certain occasion, placed 
 in circumstances of peculiar and powerful 
 temptation: one of them determined, — resisted, 
 —una overcame ; the other hesitated, — yield- 
 ed — and fell. He who hod proved faithful in 
 the day of trial was soon afterward called to 
 labour in the mission field, where the Lord 
 grtatly blessed his labours. After some years 
 of toil, he sickened and died ; but his last 
 words were those of joyful confidence in his 
 Saviour, and his remains were followed to the 
 grave by hundreds of sincere mourners, who 
 had derived much spiritual odvantoge from his 
 ministry. The other, after having proved un- 
 fuithful, was filled with remorse and shame, 
 and, instead of applying to the sinner's Friend 
 to heal his backslidings, he absented himself 
 from the house of God, and began to pay at- 
 tention to a trifling young woman, whom he,

 About the time the former died in the land of

 the latter was in a very low public house, 
 where, in the worst of company, he had been 
 revelling for several days and nights ; and
