Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Extracts From a Sermon on Education This capacity of reading and writing hath given to common sense a local habitation and a name, a unity and a strength, which hardly anything can defy. The common it buildeth up to heaven; the personal it streweth upon the earth. It is the appeal to the multitude, the ostracism of the people. And, if the voice of the people be the voice of God, it is a most godly power; but if the voice of the people be against the voice of God, then every godly thing should look to it and have a care of itself. It is my duty, and shall be my endeavour, to open before you at this time, what effect that kind of education, now so rapidly diffusing itself throughout the land, may be expected to produce upon the prosperity of vital religion, and what part for or against the interests of Zion it is likely to accomplish. This I shall do by treating, first, of education in general, what it should include, and what it should aim at; secondly, from the idea of education thus obtained, endeavour to form an estimate of that kind of it which is so rapidly diffusing itself; thirdly, inquire with whom this great charge of educating the rising generation should be intrusted.
