Book Description
Excerpt from Discourses on the Nature of Religion: And on Commerce and Business; With Some Occasional Discourses The interests of the mind and heart, spiritual interests, in other words - the interests involved in religion, are real and supreme. Neglected, disregarded, ridiculed, ruined as they may be; ruined as they may be in mere folly, in mere scorn; they are still real and supreme. Notwithstanding all appearances, delusions, fashions and opinions to the contrary, this is true, and will be true forever. All essential interests centre ultimately in the soul; all that do not centre there, are circumstantial, transitory, evanescent; they belong to things that perish. This is what I have endeavoured to show in a previous discourse, and for this purpose I have appealed in the first place, to Society.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1847 edition. Excerpt: ... ON THE NATURE OF RELIGION. XXI. THE IDENTITY OF RELIGION WITH GOODNESS, AND WITH A GOOD LIFE. IF A MAN SAT, I LOVE GOD, AND HATETH HIS BROTHER, HE IS A LIAR; FOR HE THAT LOVETH NOT HIS BROTHER WHOM HE HATH SEEN, HOW CAN HB LOVE GOD WHOM HE HATH NOT SEEN 1--1 John iv. 24. If there is any mission for the true teacher to accomplish in this age, it is to identify religion with goodness; to show that they are the same thing, manifestations, that is to say, of the same principle; to show, in other words and according to the Apostle, that no man is to be accounted a lover of God, who is not a lover of his brother. It is, I say again, to identify religion with morals, religion with virtue; with justice, truth, integrity, honesty, generosity, disinterestedness; religion with the highest beauty and loveliness of character. This, I repeat, is the great mission, and message of the true teacher to-day. What it may be some other day, what transcendental thing may be waiting to be taught, I do not know; but this, I conceive, is the practical business of religious instruction now. Let me not be misunderstood, as if I were supposed to say that this or any other mere doctrine, were the ultimate end of preaching. That is, to make men holy. But how shall any preaching avail to make men holy, unless it do rightly and clearly teach them what it is to be holy? If they mistake here, all their labour to be religious, all their hearing of the word, Sabbath keeping, praying, and striving, .will be in vain. And therefore, I hold that to teach this, and especially to shew that religion is not something else than a good heart, but is that very thing; this, I say, is the burden of the present time. I use now an old prophetic phrase, and I may remark here, that every..

Book Description
Excerpt from Discourses on the Nature of Religion: And on Commerce and Business; With Some Occasional Discourses The world, which is appointed for our temporary dwelling place, was made for this end. The whole creation' around us, is to the soul, a subject and a ministering creation. The mighty globe itself, with all its glorious apparatus and furniture, is but a theatre for the care of the soul, the theatre Of its redemption. This vast universe is but a means. But look at the earth alone. Why was it made such as it is? Its fruit ful soils, its rich valleys, its mountain-tops, and its roll ing oceans; its humbler scenes, clothed with beauty and light, good even in the sight of their Maker, fair - fair to mortal eyes - why were they given? They were not given for mere sustenance and supply; for much less would have sufficed for that end. They need not have been so beautiful to have answered that end. They could have spared their verdure and flow ers and fragrance, and still have yielded sustenance. The groves might never have waved in the breeze but have stood in the rigidity Of an iron forest; the hills might not have been moulded into forms Of beauty.
