Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Charity, Its Obligations and Objects: With Reference to the Present State of Society, in a Series of Sermons Two reasons have concurred and induced me to prepare the following Sermons for the press. First, a conviction that the duty of attending to the wants and circumstances of those around us, is far less generally practised, than is consistent with the spirit of Christianity. Secondly, a belief that attention to such wants and circumstances, i.e. that charity in all its branches, is the appointed preventive of the evils connected with a fully peopled and highly civilised community. Where it has not acted as a preventive, it may yet be blessed as a remedy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
