Стр. 3 - These twelve Jesus sent forth and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not : But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Стр. 24 - No song ofZion ushers in this blessed morning. The wind roars through the tall pines, that encompass her cottage, where the voice of devotion has never been heard, except in the whispers of her broken heart. There she clasps to her bosom the object of her tenderest...
Стр. 24 - Christian mother, lately removed from the full light of religious institutions, into the darkness that spreads its gloomy shades beyond the western mountains. Denied the privilege of mingling her sorrows with kindred souls, she sits and grieves alone. Her husband and sons released from Christian restraints, are daily ripening to be outcasts from God. The sabbath returns, but where are its wonted joys ? No temple is there, — no messenger of salvation. No song ofZion ushers in this blessed morning.
Стр. 27 - It was not a land flowing with milk and honey ; but he saw in the mildness of its climate, the fertility of its soil and the...
Стр. 24 - Think of that Christian mother, lately removed from the full light of religious institutions, into the darkness that spreads its gloomy shades beyond the western mountains. Denied the privilege of mingling her sorrows with kindred souls, she sits and grieves alone. Her husband and sons, released from Christian restraint, are daily ripening to be outcasts from God.
Стр. 28 - Let me suppose, that your only means of posthumous usefulness is property : that God has given you seventeen hundred dollars, which you do not absolutely need for common purposes ; and, as a greater blessing still, has given you a heart to consecrate it to himself. You lay the foundation of a Christian scholarship. By aid of this, in ten years, a well furnished preacher enters the ministry. He becomes pastor of a church. He labors twenty years for Christ.
Стр. 18 - He has more ways to bless and prosper those who trust in him, than we are able to point out to him. But I tell you, my friend, he will sooner make windows in heaven, turn stones into bread, yea, stop the sun in his course, than he will suffer those who conscientiously serve him, and depend upon him...
Стр. 28 - He labors twenty years for Christ. In this day of mercy, it is no extravagant estimate, that he may be the instrument of salvation to two hundred souls ; and each of these souls as valuable as yours, which cost the agonies of Calvary. Say, when this pastor shall meet you in heaven, with these heirs of glory, ransomed by means of your liberality, will yo'u wish that you had employed that money in constructing a theatre, or in ornamenting the gate-way of a crumbling edifice, to be your lodging place...
Стр. 28 - To the benevolent man, who thinks on the brevity of life, and mourns that he has done so little in the service of his Saviour, the anticipation of living and acting for the church, after he is dead, is in no small measure consolatory and grateful. President Edwards saw great good result from his labors, while he lived ; but the influence of those labors, since his death, has perhaps been a hundred fold more important to the world. Christian reader, let me ask you to dwell a moment on this delightful...
Стр. 21 - Christian churches, which, on an average, might carry forward each one student. This would go far towards furnishing the proposed supply, estimating each church to consist of one hundred members, paying one dollar each. But how many Christians are there, who could give, without the smallest inconvenience, fifty, or one hundred, or five hundred dollars, annually, to excuse the aged and sick, and to cover the remaining exigency.
