The wisest thing is to obtain the work.”—The Study. “Very few names are better known to us than that of Dr. David Thomas. And perhaps it would be difficult to mention two authors who, during the last quarter of a century, have influenced so much the pulpits of Great Britain and America, and indeed every country where the English language is spoken, as the late Robertson, of Brighton, and Dr. Thomas, of Stockwell. These two in their works are a kind of public property of all denominations alike, Conformists as well as Nonconformists. You can generally tell, when you see a volume of any author's works on a table, to what denomination the family belongs; but when you see Robertson's sermons or any of Dr. Thomas's works, you have not the slightest clue as to what denomination the family belongs, whether they are Cons or Noncons. The productions of the Churchman from Brighton are read with delight by Dissenters; and, on the other hand, the Dissenter from Stockwell is read and studied with pleasure by Churchmen --The Banner. A HOMILY ON The Limits of Forbearance. SCHLEIERMACHER, VII. VERY one who asserts that he loves justice and order must also admit that he cherishes the wish that everything in the world went according to merit. The farther we look around us, the more we find to compel the conviction that the time when this will be the usual course of things is immensely distant. But we are not for this reason to calmly resign ourselves to things as they are, or we shall act in opposition to the purposes of God. Let us rather follow the inner voice, and treat men uniformly, at least in our own sphere, according to their merits. No doubt we shall be variously hindered, even by that which must be to us most sacred. The judge must often wrong the innocent, because the letter of the law is against them; the superior must often reward actions which he knows were suggested by passion or selfishness; the subordinate must often minister to pride, luxury, and unscrupulous ambition : these sad cases occur very frequently in human life. But beyond this sphere there is another and a freer; and it is precisely this in which we may satisfy ‘our sense of justice. We VOL. XXXIV. B |
