Book Description
Excerpt from Sermon Delivered Before the Auxiliary Education Society of Norfolk County: At Their Annual Meeting in Weymouth, June 12, 1833 The gospel is a religion designed for all nations. It is suited to the wants of man, in every age, wherever found, and of whatever character. Consequently, it is important that all nations and people should enjoy its blessings. But how shall the gospel be effectually communicated to them, who are deprived of its privileges? Shall it be conveyed to them as a written message? Or, must it be presented by the living preacher? It appears from the text, and its connection, that the apostle Paul considered the preaching of the gospel essential to the general diffusion of Christianity; for, while he admits the truth that, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved, he asks, How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? In accordance with the sentiment here expressed, I shall attempt to show that the gospel, presented by the living preacher, is' essential to any great and permanent success in the work of saving men. To illustrate this proposition, I remark. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
