and contentment, as blessings in some measure
dependent upon early rising. All of these may
exist to a degree without religion in the heart ;
but they do not come up to what the Scriptures
intend by the word " peace,"that "peace which
passeth all understanding," and which the world
can neither give nor take away. " The wicked
are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest,
whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is
no peace, saith my God, to the wicked." No!
" no peace to the wicked," even though he be an
early riser, and have derived all the advantages
to his body, mind, and business, which that
habit is so calculated to produce. If, however,
the early riser be a Christian, a child of God by
faith in Christ and by spiritual adoption, I affirm
that for him to rise early habitually will be a
means of promoting the peace and joy of his
heart. The heavenly light which shines into his
soul with renewed lustre during his morning
devotional exercises, will illuminate his whole
mind, and shed a calm and peaceful influence
