Consider it as the service of the God of your fathers; of him to whom your parents devoted you; of him whom, in former ages, your ancestors honoured ; and by whom they are now rewarded and blessed in heaven. Connected with so many tender sensibilities of soul, let religion be with you, not the cold and barren offspring of speculation ; but the warm and vigorous dictate of the heart.

Happy in the love and affection of those with whom you are connected, look up to the Supreme Being, as the inspirer of all the friendship which has ever been shewn you by others ; himself, your best and your first friend ; formerly, the supporter of your infancy, and the guide of your childhood ; now, the guardian of your, youth, and the hope of your corning years.
