Zechariah 11:1-2 Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.… Mr. Jay was generally chaste and dignified in his composition, but occasionally used a quaintness of expression which in our day would be called "sensational." The selection of his texts was sometimes ingenious — e.g., on two occasions, after the death of Robert Hall and Rowland Hill, his text was, "Howl, fir tree, for the cedar is fallen." He always took advantage of public events, and thus brought nature and providence to his aid in instructing the people.
