Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon: Preached in the Chapel of the Philanthropic Society, St. George´s Fields, on Sunday, May 16, 1847, Being the Annual Commemoration of the Society´s Establishment "Let him that stole steal no more, but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth." The promulgation of the Gospel upon earth was intended to reveal to all men alike, the best and the worst, the way in which they were to find access to the Divine mercy, and to attain to the salvation provided by God for man. Its sphere of action was the spirit of man, and the world of thought in which he lives with God. "The kingdom of God is within you," was the declaration of Christ to his disciples. The main purpose and the effect of Christ´s coming was not, or at least was not immediately, to reform the evils which existed in the society of that day; - to provide material remedies and alleviations for the oppression and violence, the crime and corruption, the poverty and want, which pervaded whole classes and regions. Christianity aimed, indeed, to do good unto all men, and chiefly to those who were of the household of faith; but the good at which it aimed was something far higher and deeper than the relief of material distresses.
