He must reign in our minds, which should assent with perfect submission and firm belief to revealed truths and to the doctrines of Christ. He must reign in our wills, which should obey the laws and precepts. He must reign JOB OPPORTUNITIES in our hearts, which should spurn natural desires and love God above all things, and cleave to Him AT SAINT HELENA… alone.
