Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures, Essays, and Sermons Is not this a strange world that runs thoughtlessly on through all this living, speaking loveliness, which seems to point every moment toward the God whose hand is form ing and fashioning all before all eyes? How few there are who seem to have any but a theoretical belief that there is something at work around us besides the trees, the flowers, the clouds, and the sun! We see them at work, and ask no further; ask not who makes them work, who gives them all their loveliness and liberty and life. What should we do but fall down and adore before this visible creation of an invisible and all-pervading Being?

Excerpt from Selections From the Sermons, Lectures and Essays In addition to his pastoral duties he was one of the founders and early editors of the I n dependent, the founder of the Christian Union, and its editor, and one of the most prominent of antislavery orators. In 1863 he went to England in order to do what he could to set that country right on the great question of slavery. The re sult was a veritable series of platform bat tles, especially with the public of Manches ter and Liverpool. But his bravery, his con summate oratorical skill, his unlimited good humor and the extraordinary quickness of his repartee won the day at last, and con verted enemies into friends.

Book Description
Excerpt from Essays, Lectures, Addresses, Sermons, and Miscellaneous and Descriptive Pieces: Including a Discussion on Education OF the fact that of making many books there is no end we are fully conscious. Neither do we fondly seek to persuade ourselves that the present production is just the desideratum to fill a long felt want. Honored usage has prescribed that a book-maker furnish some apology for the innocuous vanity of appearing in print. When the enraptured eye of Dickens first rested on his fascinating effusions arrayed in the decoration of type, he attempted the novel performance of reading them, while standing upon his head; which freak Edmund Burke would doubtless define as an effort to live in an inverted order. We shall, probably, never be the sport of such strange ups and downs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Larger Life: Sermons and an EssayThe title of this collection of sermons has been happily chosen. It admirably indicates their motive and character. There is the larger life in Christ as well as the higher life in Him. As the one mounts voluntarily to heights of self-renunciation in His service which are over and above the level of His mere command, so the other pene trates more deeply the mind and will of God in Him, sees the marvellous depth and scope of the Truth He taught in all its endless applications, and rejoices to live and act in this wider outlook and range as they cannot who only narrowly believe and blindly obey.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
