Exalt The Word, Bishop Cyrus D Foss Aug 2011

Exalt The Word, Bishop Cyrus D Foss

ATS Digital Resources

"Is it not high time for those who teach the Bible to give a truce to nervousness, and go ahead as though nothing had happened? As, indeed, nothing has happened to affect in the slightest degree the substance of "the faith" or the all-conquering power of the word. ... The great business of the pulpit and of the Sunday-school is to teach the Bible, and to urge its claim on the belief and obedience of all who listen. Let us teach it, and not busy ourselves in suggesting doubts about it. Children, youth, and the masses of churchgoing people urgently …


The Clipped Coin Aug 2011

The Clipped Coin

ATS Digital Resources

" "God is not mocked." No one can deceive his far-reaching intelligence. That which" a mall soweth, that shall he also reap," however smooth the surface may have been rolled over the seed. Every thing which seems and is not, is an abomination to the Lord. Do we appear outwardly respectable among men, and yet are our hearts filled with uncleanness? Are we liberal when our liberality can Le seen, and yet covetous in our inner life? Do we go to church apparently for worship, and inwardly criticise the service? Do we come late and so manifest our disrespect for …

"But most of all he sought to do good by the uprightness of his conduct; truth in every thing, love to every body, and, first and foremost, his dnty to his Lord and Master-these were the sermons that did most good. Every body could listen to them whether they went to church or chapel. The deafest could hear them, and the plainest people could understand them. Nobody quarreled with the doctrine, and no sermons were half so convincing as these." pg 12

Shall Our Rum Be Kept Out Of Africa?, Rev Daniel Dorchester

ATS Digital Resources

"I have directly learned ... that a distillery firm within three miles of Massachusetts State-house has a contract to furnish 3,000 gallons of rum daily to the African trade for the next seven years. This would be equivalent to almost one million gallons annually. My interest in Christian missions in Africa, and in the late campaign for a constitutional amendment in Massachusetts prohibiting the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors for beverages, led me to investigate the internal revenue reports of the manufacture, home consumption, and exportation of rum. This, the most powerful of all the distilled liquors, containing fifty …

On Which Side?

ATS Digital Resources

"They who are on the Lord's side are exposed to no curse, but are possessors or heirs of all the blessings. But those who are not his have not one blessing, but are exposed to many dreadful curses. On them rests the curse of the broken law, and the anathema of the neglected Gospel. 1 Corinthians xvi, 22"


Madness Aug 2011

Madness

ATS Digital Resources

There is a worse pestilence than cholera or the plague, and every human being suffers from the contagion. It is the plague of sin. This kills not the body only, but the soul, and with a death whose pangs will last forever. Men blinded by unbelief or self- righteousness, are often not aware that they are dying of this infection till recovery is hopeless."

Insurance Aug 2011

Insurance

ATS Digital Resources

"The soul's danger and 'its salvation are not mere probabilities, as in the case of insurance against loss by fire. The Gospel reveals to us our real position in relation to God and eternity, and at the same time it brings to us the knowledge of the way of salvation and invites us to seek and secure it. It shows us our danger. It points us to our remedy. Now, if it is right to insure as far as we can against loss by sickness, fire, etc., surely every thoughtful man must see the wisdom of insuring his soul against …

How Will It Look At The Day Of Judgment?, Rev E. Wentworth

ATS Digital Resources

"Reader, have you, too, thought bow that Sabbath traveling of yours; that pleasure excursion; that game of chance; that hunting tour; that novel reading; that needless visiting; that frivolous conversation; that secular letter-writing; that inspection of account books; that horse-racing, drinking, debauchery; that habit of staying from Church when you are conscious of the slightest indisposition, or the weather is ever so slightly unfavorable; have you thought how all or anyone of these will appear at the DAY OF JUDGMENT?"

But let us also DIRECT and COUNSEL you. When a man asleep is rousted a little, he is, in some measure, capable of receiving and profiting by advice. Know, then, what you must do. Sleep no longer; be secure no longer."

Good Counsels For Plain People, Rev Ws Plumer Aug 2011

Good Counsels For Plain People, Rev Ws Plumer

ATS Digital Resources

"READER, I am a plain person. I have seen hard times. I have been cast upon the Lord from my birth. All my life I have been a child of Providence. I am familiar with poverty and hardship. My feelings have often been hurt by the gay and the proud. I have been sick among strangers. I have often wept when all around were merry. I have acquired a small share of knowledge. Some of it I know by experience to be valuable. Allow one who wishes you well to give you a few counsels."
