They inculcate no reverence for God; they impair and destroy our relish for his word - where can you find an habitual novel reader that loves the biblehhey excite the pas sions; they leave the understanding a waste, barren as the heath in the desert they paint vice in alluring colours they make the mind familiar with licentious scenes and characters; and they present false views of life and manners.
