A
uestions for Self-Examination.
1. What opinions do I adopt, and habitually defend and inculcate? Are they in accordance with the Scrip- tures, and with my profession of faith ?
2. What is the prevailing tenor of my conversation ? Is it spiritual or worldly - serious or trifling ?
3, With whom do I associate as my intimate friends ? What are the prospects for another world, of those in whose company I most delight ?
4. What influence has my example upon my friends and acquaintances ? Is it holy, or unholy, - will it save or destroy ?
5. How far am I governed by a regard to the opin- ions, the customs, and the fashions of the world ?
6. Do I esteem it a privilege to deny myself for Christ's sake ? And is it a pleasure rather than a grief to be asked to contribute, to advance his kingdom ?
7. Do I study the Bible ? Do I understand and prize, above all price, its glorious doctrines ? Do its precepts regulate my intercourse with men, and my communion with God ?
58
SELF EXAMINATION.
8. Do I perform the duty of secret prayer ? How often and with what spirit? Is my enjoyment in these seasons, so great, that I can truly say, my soul thirsteth for God, for the living God - when shall I come and appear before God ?
9. How do I spend the Sabbath ? Is it to me a day holy to the Lord and honorable ? How much of its time do I waste in indolence ? How much devote to business - how much to dress - How much to my soul ?
10. Do I strive, at all times, to act from a fixed regard to the glory of God - to resist and overcome sin ? And am I willing, when I pray for knowledge, zeal, self- denial, and holiness, that my prayers should be answered ? And do I prove that I am thus willing by a diligent use of means for the attainment of these blessings ?
11. What are the feelings which I cherish toward the Church ? How do I speak of its officers, its members, its proceedings, its plans for doing good, and its covenant obligations ? Had I rather suffer, if need be, than be the occasion of injuring its influence, and of bringing it into reproach ?
12. Do I, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, govern my temper, subdue my passions, and quell a spirit of complaining of those around me, and of fault-finding with my brethren ? Am I of a meek, a forgiving, and forbearing temper ? And is there, on my tongue, the law of kindness ?
13. If a parent, are my children baptized - instruc- ted in the truth-commended to God in prayer, and educated for eternity ?
59
SELF EXAMINATION.
14. What proportion of my worldly property do I sanctify to the Lord ? In what do I deny myself, for the purpose of doing good ?
15. What poor child of God, have I ever made com- fortable and happy ? To how many widows and or- phans - to how many perishing heathen, will the Sav- ior point, in the last day, and say unto me, - Inasmuch as ye did that deed of charity unto one of the least of these, ye did it unto me ?
16. Do I love the souls of sinners ? Do I feel for them, as did the Man of Sorrows, when he looked upon the city abandoned of its God? Is there one to whom I am faithful, and for whose conversion I feel intense anxiety ?
17. Am I interested in the weekly Prayer-Meetings - the Monthly Concert - the Sabbath School ? And do I sustain them by my presence, my influence, and my heavenly mindedness ?
18. Is my zeal periodical, or constant ? Is it for self, or for Christ ? Do I realize my infinite ill-desert as a rebel against God, and humble myself at the foot of the cross ; pleading, whatever be my petition, Do thou it for thy name's sake ?
19. Do I realize that I am to live but once ? That the character I form here, whether holy or sinful, will be mine forever ? That the influence I am exerting, will be felt when I am dead ?
20. Do I live as though I was bought with blood ; and had given myself to Jesus Christ ? Is it my prayer, in sickness or health, joy or sorrow, life or death, Thy will, O God, be done ? -

OF THE FIRST PASTOR OF AN ANCIENT NEW ENGLAND CHURCH, TO THE QUESTION - WHAT SHALL
WE DO, THAT WE MAY KEEP IN MIND OUR COVENANT.
1. VERY diligently and devoutly attend to the Cove- nant, whensoever it is propounded to any person ; and yield your assent and consent to every article and tittle of it.
2. Not only wait upon Christ at his table, on all opportunities, but always eye the Lord's Supper as the SEAL of the Covenant. And every time you partake, realize that you have bound yourselves afresh to keep Covenant with God ; for to take the Sacrament, is to take the oath of obedience and loyalty.
3. Look upon the Holy Scriptures, in your daily rea- ding of them, as the book of the Covenant; for so it is, inasmuch as it exhibiteth our duty toward God and man ; and also, what we may hope and expect to receive from the hand of God, if we keep his statutes. Exod. xxiv. 7.
4. Labor to have it impressed and fixed upon your minds, that heaven and earth are witnesses of your cov-
62
KEEP IN MIND OUR COVENANT.
enanting with the great God ; and that God, angels, and men, will certainly appear as such, either for or against you, in the day of reckoning.
5. Discourse frequently together of the things pertain- ing to the kingdom of God; and particularly of the Cov- enant ; viz. the precepts, prohibitions, promises and threat- enings ; of the vows, which you have made, and the com- fortable experience, which you and others have had of God's gracious presence, &c. This practice will be of eminent service to help the memory, as also to quicken unto obedience.
6. Frequently renew your Covenant with the Lord in secret, as becomes those who resolve to stand to what they have said ; this is not only the duty, but, I should think, will be also very much the delight, of a sincere soul ; and a choice help it is, to revive our remembrance of the cov- enant, and to excite our affections ; and to quicken us to mend our pace.
7. Keep your Covenant by you, as a memorial of the solemn transactions weich have passed between God and you, and frequently review the same.
8. And lastly, prayer, must be always one direction. And this duty must be attended and performed, not only in public, and in, and with the families, which you re- spectively belong unto, but also in secret ;- Thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret. Matthew vi. 6. This duty of secret prayer, I hope you do not dare to neglect ; you cannot, I think, ordinarily omit it, if you have a living, holy principle within you. Well; and you must pray especially for spiritual blessings ; and in particular, that the Lord would please to put his law in your inward parts, and write it in your hearts ;
68
KEEP IN MIND OUR COVENANT.
" that He would make it ready and familiar to you, at hand when you have occasion to use it, as that which is written in the heart ; that he would work in you a strong disposition to obedience, and an exact conformity of thought and affection to the rules of the divine law, as that of the copy to the original." You have a disposition this way already-pray that it may abide and grow, and plead that precious promise in Jer. xxxi. 33; and, the more you are disposed this way, the less danger there will be of your forgetting the Covenant of the Lord your God.
USE - From what has been said, let professors be exhorted to put one another in mind of their Covenant duties and obligations. It is true, we may not watch over others, and neglect ourselves, as some, to their great reproach, are said to do; neither may our charity end at home; for the law of God obliges us to love our neighbor as ourselves. And again it is written, Erhort one another daily. And it is remarked concerning those that fear the Lord, that they spake often one to another. Mal. iii. 16. And have we not expressly bound ourselves, by Covenant, to watch over one another? Yes, verily : How then shall we dare to neglect it; especially considering that a great deal of sin and sorrow might, probably, be prevented, if professors would in this way be kind and faithful to one another ? Thus, for instance : when a neighbor or brother is observed to be going into temptation, or in present danger of falling into some transgression, it is not impro- bable that these words, spoken in a suitable manner, in his hearing, Remember your Covenant, would prevent his fall; or, if he has already fallen, it may be those words would be the means of recovering him out of the snare of the devil ; and of bringing him unto unfeigned repentance.
64
KEEP IN MIND OUR COVENANT.
And so, if yon see a brother, backward to any good work, respecting either God or man; perhaps this memento, would shame and quicken him. Now we are undoubtedly obliged to do this, and much more, to prevent each other's hurt, and to promote each other's good. Oh, let us not be negligent.
