Psalm 18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity. A noted characteristic of Mr. Cecil was his decision of character. It is said that he had studied for a painter, and after he had changed his object he retained a fondness and taste for the art. He was once called to visit a sick lady, in whose room there was a painting which so strongly attracted his attention that he found himself diverted from the sick person and absorbed by the painting. From that moment he formed the resolution of mortifying a taste which he found so intrusive and so obstructive to his nobler pursuits, and determined never again to frequent the exhibition.
