Book excerpt: Excerpt from Series of Discourses on the Leading Doctrines and Duties of Christianity, Vol. 2 of 4 The following discourses were preh pared for the pulpit during the summer of eighteen hundred and four, with little ex pectation of being afterwards offered from the press. The author, since that time, has occasionally itinerated through the frontier settlements, and, in these visits, has sincere ly deplored the desolate condition of the in habitants. Many of them are destitute of gospel ordinances regularly dispensed on the sabbath, neither are they furnished with practical books for their instruction and edi fication through the week. From this ao quaintance with their situation, he has been led frequently and anxiously to enquire, what means might be adopted for minister ing to their relief? Willingly he would im part some spiritual gift, to the end they might be established, and finally saved. Such were the circumstances by which the author was induced to publish these discourses. The subjects, however imperfectly discussed, are without doubt infinitely interesting and the plan, he humbly hopes, is in some measure adapted to the situation of the frontier inhabitants. There is an attempt to exhibit the great doctrines of christianity in their connexion with each other, which ren ders the work suitable for those who do not enjoy the means of systematic instruction. Divine grace is represented as rearing her splendid edifice on the ruins of human apos tacy We behold her occupied from eter nity past in laying the foundation, gradually carrying on the superstructure in time, not withstanding infinite Opposition, and at last. Completing the building amidst the mingled shouts of men and angels, grace, grace nu to it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
