Jeremiah 9:1. Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
This is how God's servants feel about the dying and perishing souls all around them. They cannot bear the thought of the sinner's awful doom; it brings continuous heartbreak and heaviness of spirit upon them. That men should eternally perish, that they should bring on their own heads the doom of their own sin, is no small thing, and therefore the Lord's servant mourns over those who mourn not for themselves. God save every one of us, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake! Amen.
This exposition consisted of readings from Psalms 12:1.; and Jeremiah 8:1, and Jeremiah 9:1.
