Description
Excerpt from Christian Charity, Its Obligations and Objects: With Reference to the Present State of Society, in a Series of Sermons
Two reasons have concurred and induced me to prepare the following Sermons for the press.
First, a conviction that the duty of attending to the wants and circumstances of those around us, is far less generally practised, than is consistent with the spirit of Christianity.
Secondly, a belief that attention to such wants and circumstances, i. E. That charity in all its branches, is the appointed preventive of the evils connected with a fully peopled and highly civilised community. Where it has not acted as a preven tive, it may yet be blessed as a remedy.
