My object and aim


  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~


(James Smith)
My object is to lead the mind . . .
   from SELF--to Jesus;
   from sin--to salvation;
   from the troubles of life--to the comforts of the gospel.
My aim is . . .
   to humble the sinner--and exalt the Savior;
   to strip the creature--and place the crown
      on the head of God's free grace! 
I cannot ascribe too much to Jesus--or too little to man!
