I WISH I WAS BETTER THAN I AM. Probably there are few persons who have not had this wish man y times pass, almost involuntarily through their minds, or who have not sometimes expended it in words; for there are f ew who have not some occasional glimpses of n better “tate than their own, and some feeble desires for the attain meat of it; though too feeble, in too many cases, to lead to a! ‘\ actual endeavor for improvement. Tho expression of this wish, however, is apt to call forth a charge of inconsistency, if not of insincerity, against those who Ul h*r it. Rj s argued that a man’s conduct is the ical index °f his desires ; and that if die truly and sincerely washed to live bettter than he does, he would do so; thus, that the fact of h:s not practising the virtues which lie professedly wishes were his own, shows that his desires are either imaginary or feigned. There is in most cases, no doubt, much insincerity mixed up with the feelings which prompt the wish here spoken of? but to sny that such are wholly and always insincere,is to impli cate as hypocritical all aspiration after higher and better things- Tho truth is, man has an external and internal mind, and he thinks and acts sometimes under the influence of the one, and at other times under that of the other. The former is the seat, of his natural, selfish, hereditary propensities; the latter, the residence of whatever genu ne goodness or religi >us principle ho may be endowed with, and the gate through which como all heavenly influences by which he is affected Prom this region of the mind descends the wish (often only a transitory one,) of which we have been speaking. It is the first frail endeavor of the spiritual seed to pierce the hard soil ot the natural selfish heart. It, is not the warm flame of love, but the “ smoking flax” which the Lord is unwilling should be quenched by harsh and censoi ious rebukes. Tiius, while man lives in this world, lie is neither wholly ruled by either good or bad principles; and lie is to be judged of accordingly, ns tar as it is allowable to judge him before the lime when the book of his hte shall bo laid open. When wo see a man acting from principle apparently wrong, and in ex ternal net at least, breaking tlie commandments, we cannot say that good principles have not been striving in him, together with evil ones ; and wo cannot know how much worse he would have done, had lie been left to tho uncontrolled in flu- ‘ ence oi the latter. It is only after the days of probation have been spent, and we know that the good seed has proved so tile last unfruitful, that we have a right to ascribe to the man his evil deeds as h.s own proper character, unqualified even by the good which he sometimes only proposed to do. And those who cast reproaches upon the short comings and fail ures of such purposes in others, it is to be feared have hardly learned the strength of opposition to goodness, which lies la tent in their own bosoms. It cannot, however, be too carefully remembered, that mere desires after goodness, temporary longings after a heaven to which we are as yet strangers, will prove of no avail, any farther than they affect our voluntary actions, they can have no power to bring u s into the desired state, any further than they lead us to make direct and active efforts for its attain moots; in denying ourselves oi every sinful indulgence, which prevents our real.zing the wished for good. Any mode of regarding this matter, which leaves us to dlsp’enso with active and diligent exertions to enter in at the straight gate, is but a deceptive beam of the winter-light of faith alone. D. 11.
