Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons and Discourses, Vol. 1 Theologians have disputed about every doctrine which they could possibly make a subject of strife, but there are a few great principles of religion so clear and fundamental that they are admitted to be true by men of every sect. Among these first principles is the truth that spiritual interests As Supreme. Every religious man believes that while bodily wants are to be duly supplied - and the human mind deserves all possible culture - the immortal soul is of far greater importance. Our physical frames must soon be cast aside like garments worn out or outgrown; mere vigor and breadth of intellect may be united with thorough meanness and intense misery; but the virtues of the spirit, proving our fidelity to Jesus and our relationship to God, are the appointed means of eternal growth, progress, and joy. The first duty of man is holiness before the Lord. No labor or pleasure is worthy of his favor unless it tends to increase his gratitude to his Maker and his love to his fellow men. It is better to die ignorant yet affectionate, than enlightened and selfish, for Heaven is the sphere of love rather than of learning.
