341 ページ - they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, ' know the Lord;' for all shall know him, from the least to the greatest.

219 ページ - Administration would have reason to count for the most effective aid, in the contest of disaffection and disloyalty against the regular authorities of the land. The minister who had earned the confidence of his people, by urging the faithful exposition of all Scripture upon them, stands on a high and secure vantage ground, when, out of that indelible record, he bids them honour the king, and obey magistrates, and meddle not with those who are given to change, and lead a quiet and a peaceable life,...
314 ページ - Church the theological literature of our nation stands indebted for her best acquisitions ; and we hold it a refreshing spectacle, at any time that meagre Socinianism pours forth a new supply of flippancies and errors, when we behold, as we have often done, an armed champion come forth in full equipment from some high and lettered retreat of that noble hierarchy. Nor can we grudge her the wealth of all her endowments when we think how well, under her venerable auspices, the battles of orthodoxy have...

The latter will be sought after ; the former must be offered to a people, whose spiritual appetite is in a state of dormancy, and with whom it is just as necessary to create a hunger, as it is to minister a positive supply. In these circumstances, it were vain to wait for any original movement on the part of the receivers. It must be made on the part of the dispensers.

xi ページ - Pauperism in so far as sustained on the principle, that each man, simply because he exists, holds a right on other men or on society for existence, is a thing not to be regulated but destroyed. Any attempt to amend the system which reposes on such a basis will present us with but another modification of that which is radically and essentially evil. Whatever the calls be, which the poverty of a human being may have on the compassion of his fellows — it...
86 ページ - We must have recourse, at last, to the final expedient that was adopted on that occasion; or, in other words, go out to the streets and the highways, and, by every fair measure of moral, and personal, and friendly application, compel the multitude to come in. We must do with the near, what we are doing with the distant world. We do not expect to Christianise the latter, by messages of entreaty, from the regions of paganism. But we send our messages to them. Neither do we give a roving commission...
340 ページ - ... utterance was ever heard ; and still more, when a small and select library is attached to the institution, has it been the mean of circulating, through many a household privacy, such wisdom and such piety as were indeed new visitants upon a scene, till now untouched by any print or footstep of sacredness. We have one prophecy in the Bible, that many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
