Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Of the Rev. John Townsend: Founder of the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, and of the Congregational School The objects of biography, in general, are instruction and example; but religious biography has another and a higher aim, namely, to "magnify the grace of God" in the subject of the narration; it is to concur in the great design of Jehovah himself, who said concerning Israel, "This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise." Men of the world, in writing their own memoirs, have uniformly an eye to the advancement and display of their character and talents; and even when they admit their failings and indiscretions, (as they call them,) it is only with a view to set off their supposed virtues. Not so Mr. Townsend; the facts and circumstances which he records, and especially his reflections on them, which are numerous, have a direct tendency to self-abasement, and at the same time to glorify God by the acknowledgment of his providence and grace.
