Description:Excerpt from The Baptist Library, Vol. 3: A Republication of Standard Baptist Works Examples of the Distress and Humiliation incident to an irresolute Mind. Such a Mind, cannot be said to belong to itself. Manner in which a Man of decisive Spirit deliberates, and passes into action. Caesar. Such a Spirit prevents the Fretting away, in harrassing Altercations of Will, of the animated Feelings required for sustaining the vigor of Action. Averts impertinent Interference. Acquires, if free from Harshneas of Manner, an undisputed and beneficial Ascendency over Associates. Its last resource inflexible Pertinacity, Instance in a Man on a Jury. My Dear Friend - We have several times talked of this bold quality, and acknowledged its great importance. Without it, a human being, with powers at best but feeble, and surrounded by innumerable things tending to perplex, to divert, or to oppress their operations, is, indeed, a pitable atom, the sport of diverse and casual impulses. It i is a poor and disgraceful thing, not to be able to reply, with some degree of certainty, f 10 the simple questions, What will you be? I What will you do? A little acquaintance with mankind will supply numberless illustrations of the importance of this character. You will often see a person anxiously hesitating a long time between different, or opposite determinations, though impatient of the pain of such a state, and ashamed of its debility. A faint impulse of preference alternates towards the one and toward the other; and the mind, while thus held in a trembling balance, is vexed that it cannot get some new thought, or feeling, or motive, that it has not more sense, more resolution, more of any tiling that would save it from envying even the decisive instinct of brutes. It wishes that any circumstance might happen, or any person might appear, that could deliver it from the miserable suspense. In many instances, when a determination is adopted, it is frustrated by this indecision. A man, for example, resolves to make a journey to-morrow, which he is not under an absolute necessity to make, but the inducements appear, this evening so strong, that he does not think it possible he can hesitate in the morning. In the morning, however, these inducements have unaccountably lost much of their force. Like the sun that is rising at the same time, they appear dim through a mist; and the sky lowers, or he fancies that it lowers; recollections of toils and fatigues ill repaid in past expeditions rise and pass into anticipation; and he lingers uncertain, till an advanced hour determines the question for him, by the certainty that it is now too late to go. Perhaps a man has conclusive reasons for wishing to remove to another place of residence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
