Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse at the Induction of the Rev. Frederic D. Huntington, D. D: As Preacher to the University, and Plummer Professor of Christian Morals in Harvard College, on Tuesday, September 4, 1855 Thus we are told that a man is quick or slow, cheerful or melancholy, believing or distrustful, social and affectionate or reserved and cold, according to his temperament; and his temperament itself cannot be changed. Perhaps, at least in ordinary cases, a mans temperament cannot be changed, in the sense of substituting one temperament for another; but certainly it can be subdued; it can be mellowed; it can be touched with a better spirit, and to finer and higher issues. A coarse cheerful man may become a refined cheerful man; and this is certainly to change the character of his cheerfulness. So likewise the constitutional coldness and reserve of a selfish and worldly man is a very different thing from the constitutional coldness and reserve of a sincere Christian. I agree entirely with the English bishop who said that temper is nine tenths of Christianity; but temperament is not temper. Temperament is a part of our nature; temper is a part of our character, and is as much subject to education and discipline as any other part of our character. When it is said that temper is nine tenths of Christianity, by temper is meant the Christian temper; but this no temperament will give a man, unless his heart is changed, and a change of heart will give it to him, let his temperament be what it may. Here, however, another and still more difficult question present itself: this "change of heart" in which the proper Christian life begin, - is that also the work of education?
