Excerpt from The Christian Calling I can only allow myself a very few words of introduction, in commencing the course Of Sermons which by the kindness of your Vicar I have been invited to preach in this Church. You know, I 0 think, that my subjects are to be certain leading features of the state or condition into which it has pleased God to call us. By giving our attention to these in the order in which I have arranged them, and in their several aspects towards God and to wards men, I hope that we may be led, God helping us, into a surer knowledge of our Christian privileges and duties. I desire that we should throughout bear in mind that both privileges and duties rest alike upon the calling Of God. All things are of God; let this be the general motto or text Of my course. What we know of God is just so much as it pleases him to reveal Of himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
