408 HENRY KIRKE "WHITE S REMAIN!?. 



MEMORANDUM. 



September 22, 1806. 



On running over the pages of this book, I am con- 

 sf rained to observe, with sorrow and shame, that ray pro- 

 gress in divine light has been little or none. 



I have made a few conquests over ray corrupt in- 

 clinations, but ray heart still hankers after its old de- 

 lights; still lingers half willing, half unwilling, in the 

 ways of worldly-raindedness. 



My knowledge of divine things is very little improved. 

 I have read less of the Scriptures than I did last year. 

 In reading the Fathers, I have consulted rather the pride 

 of my heart, than my spiritual good. 



I now turn to the cause of these evils, and I find that 

 the great root, the main-spring is— love of the world ; 

 next to that pride ; next to that, spiritual sloth.
