'There are two ways in which a practical moralist may attempt to displace from the human heart its love of the world; either by a demonstration of the world's vanity. so as that the heart shall be prevailed upon simply to withdraw its regards from an object that is not worthy of it; or, by setting forth another object, even God, as more worthy of its attachment; so as that the heart shall be prevailed upon, not or resign an old affection which shall have nothing to succeeded it, but to exchange an old affection for a new one.'
Thomas Chalmers, The Explusive Power of a New Affection, p.1.
