Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Mrs. Hawkes, Late of Islington: Including, Remarks in Conversation and Extracts From Sermons and Letters of the Late Rev. Richard Cecil The Christian experience of Mrs. Hawkes which is now presented to the Public, possesses a character common to that of other believers, as it may be traced to the operation of the Holy Spirit. On this account it ought to be considered precious in itself; apart from those considerations which, in the present instance, concur to render it valuable to others. It is not often that so many advantages unite to render the experience of a Christian profitable to the public in general. To find the deepest views of the evil of sin, in a person whose moral character was, through life, the most exemplary; - the clearest views of the doctrines of grace, with a strict and conscientious regard to their practical tendency; - the strongest and most simple faith, ever in connection with the penitence of her who washed the Saviour´s feet with her tears; - a love to God truly filial, ever blended with a reverential fear; and a humility which was as the clothing of her soul; - to find the cheerful affectionate friend, ever administering to others, in the same person with the oppressed and afflicted sufferer, - where patience had, by means of constant trial, its perfect work; - these are fruits of the Spirit so precious in themselves, and so rare in their combination, that they require to be made manifest. "Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?" The subject of this Memoir was little known out of her own circle.
