"To our duty to God all other duties
must yield."
"Go thou then and do likewise," said he. "Thou are called to a
high vocation; to cleanse the sanctuary of thy God in this thy
native land by the shedding of blood; go thou then like a ruling
energy, a master spirit of desolation in the dwellings of the
wicked, and high shall be your reward both here and hereafter."
My heart now panted with eagerness to look my brother in the
face. On which my companion, who was never out of the way,
conducted me to a small square in the suburbs of the city, where
there were a number of young noblemen and gentlemen playing
at a vain, idle, and sinful game, at which there was much of the
language of the accursed going on; and among these blasphemers
he instantly pointed out my brother to me. I was fired with
indignation at seeing him in such company, and so employed; and
I placed myself close beside him to watch all his motions, listen
to his words, and draw inferences from what I saw and heard. In
what a sink of sin was he wallowing! I resolved to take him to
task, and, if he refused to be admonished, to inflict on him some
condign punishment; and, knowing that my illustrious friend and
director was looking on, I resolved to show some spirit.
