Rules of Holy Living

     Adoniram Judson's Rules of Holy Living. 

(Adoniram and Ann Judson were pioneering missionaries in Burma.  Adoniram developed an alphabet for the Burmese language and translated the Bible into Burmese.)
 
1. Be diligent in secret prayer, every morning and evening.
2. Never spend a moment in mere idleness.
3. Restrain natural appetites within the bounds of temperance and purity.  ''keep thyself pure''
4.Suppress every emotion of anger and ill will.
5. Undertake nothing from motives of ambition, or love of fame.
6. Never do that which, at the moment, appears to be displeasing to God.
7. Seek opportunities of making some sacrifice for the good of others, especially of believers, provided the sacrifice is not inconsistent with some duty.
8. Endeavor to rejoice in every loss and suffering incurred for Christ's sake and the gospel's remembering that though like death they are not to be wilfully incurred yet like death they are great gain.
9. Have scriptures and some devotional book in consant reading.
10. Suppress every unclean thought and look.
