Book Description
Excerpt from Essays to Do Good: Addressed to All Christians, Whether in Public or Private Capacities At this early period of life, he adopted it as a maxim, that a power and an Opportunity to do good, not only gives a right to the doing of it, but makes the doing Of it a duty. On this maxim he determined to act, and contin ued to do so throughout his whole life. In the execution of this noble design, he began in his father's family, to do all the good in his power to his brothers, his sisters, and the servants. He imposed on himself a rule, never to enter any company, where it was proper for him to speak, without endeavouring to be useful in it and in doing this, he found that promise ful filled, to him that hath shall be given for on the faith ful improvement of his talents, his opportunities of useful ness were gradually increased, till he became a blessing to whole churches, towns, and countries.

Not illustrated.1826 Excerpt: ... declared; and let nothing be done in anger, but with every mark of tenderness and concern. Ajax Flagellifer may be read in the school; he is not fit to be the master of it. Let it not be said of the boys, they were brought up in " the school of Tyrannus." Pliny says, that bears are the better for beating: More fit to have the management of bears than of ingenuous boys, are those masters who cannot give a bit of learning without giving a blow with it. Send them to the tutors of the famous Lithuanian school at Samourgan. The harsh Orbilian way of treating children, too commonly used in the schools, is a dreadful curse of God on our miserable offspring, who are born "children of wrath." It is boasted sometimes of a schoolmaster, that such a brave man had his education under him; but it is never said, how many, who might have been brave men, have been ruined by him; how m;-ny brave wits have been dispirited, confounded, murdered by his barbarous way of managing them. PROPOSALS TO CHURCHES FOR DOING GOOD. We have already proposed to the Pastors of Churches various ways of doing good; we shall now lay before the Churches themselves some proposals of objects, in which they may do well to join their pastors. Days Of Prayer, occasionally observed, for the express purpose of obtaining the sanctifying influences of the Spirit of God on the rising generation, have had a marvellous efficacy in producing a religious posterity in the land, and " a seed accounted to the Lord for a generation." Such an acknowledgment of the necessity and excellency of supernatural grace would be a very probable preparative and introduction to the communication of it.
