Book Description
Excerpt from Lecture on Christianity and the Civil Laws About the 20th of March last, some half dozen of the supposed pirated Africans, that had been smuggled into the country by the "Wanderer," were brought within the hearing of the church bells of Columbus and offered for sale. This excited the disgust and indignation of many of our citizens. The author of this Lecture, fearing that some of his friends, being uninformed of the true moral character of the act, might be tempted to become a party in the crime of those who offered them for sale, by purchase, thereby involving themselves in difficulty and disgrace, availed himself of the first opportunity that offered of putting his fellow-citizens, and especially young men for whom he feels the deepest interest, on their guard against such temptation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on the Law and the Gospel Gospel of the Blessed God, stated in simplicity and clear ness, in perfect accordance with the instructions of the Holy Scripture, and the Liturgy, Articles, and Homilies of the Protestant Episcopal Church. He humbly trusts that the Glorious Jesus whom he worships as his Lord and his God, -his Great God and Saviour, - will be still pleased to use this work for the manifestation of his glory, the bringing of the vessels of his mercy to an acknowledgment and obedience of the truth, and the guarding of his Church against the vital and dangerous errors which these days have again brought forth, all of which, the author believes, originate in an ignorance, or in confused views, of the relations of the Law and the Gospel to each other and to man. He has also in prepa ration, should his life be spared for their publication, two other works in connection with this; the one under the title of Christ is all, displaying these precious truths in the actual experience of mam - and the other under the title of The good Confession, exhibiting the outward manifestation of their influence and Operation in the Chris tian life. He humbly hopes, and for this end, begs the prayers of Christian friends, that the Glorious King of Zion will graciously accept his efforts in these books to proclaim the truth, to the promotion of his own glory, and the edifying of his Church. And committing his labours to Him, he would adore and glorify God, the Father, the Son, and the Holv Ghost, one Almighty, Gracious God, with thanksgivings and praise, for evermore. Amen.

Book Description
Excerpt from Christian Thought: Lectures and Papers on Philosophy, Christian Evidence, Biblical Elucidation State, some think too close, in the reign of Constantine, and this has been continued in European countries down to the present day when, however, it is keenly contested whether the State should continue to offer an endowment to the Church and whether the Church should accept such an endowment if offered. In the early ages of the United States Republic there were endowments provided for the Church, or rather for some particular Church, say the Church of England, but for the past century and more the States have been freeing themselves from all such entanglements. Still there are government acts which seem to imply, which I believe do really imply, an alliance between Church and State; as, for example, the prayers offered in the Senate and House of Representatives and in the opening of courts of justice; in the appointment of chaplains in the army and navy and in prisons; in the laws enacted for the preservation of the Sabbath, and above all, in the Bible being read in our national schools, and religion being taught in our State colleges. In these and in some other things there is an alliance between Church and State for good ends, which seem to me legitimate and highly commendable. Some, indeed, argue that these acts are all in the interest of civil law for the protection of life and property; but the people in enacting and practising them mean them to be religious as well. There are signs of a contest arising, in which it will be insisted that all that is religious in these acts, be handed over to the Churches; which will have difficulties, not impossibilities however, in providing teachers and chaplains and in protecting the Sabbath.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Action and Reaction Between Churches and the Civil Government: A Lecture, at South-Place Chapel, Finsbury, May 20, 1860 I began by pointing out the evidence lying on the surface of history, that the morality of nations is more dependent on laws and institutions than on religious creed. I think I should hardly overstate in saying, that laws, enactments, in stitutions of property, and the social relations which rise out of them (all of which are the sphere of the State), must of necessity affect the national character for good or evil hence the action of the State is essentially either moral or immoral. But inasmuch as the Churches, or Church, either need not exist at all, or very often exist in a feeble, cloudy, ceremonial life, their action on the national morality is apt to be but a secondary force. Hence, instead of saying with the Ultra voluntaryist, that morality is the sphere of the Church alone, it is more true to assert, that the State has necessarily a moral action, the Church only accidentally and occasionally. And if we admit that Religion rises above a solemn mummery or a wild fanaticism, only in proportion as morality underlies it if we are conscious that Spiritualism is the glorification of the highest Morality, and that the immoral man cannot be permanently and consistently spiritual, nor ever reap the noblest fruits and blessed joys of spirituality if we feel that an immoral atmosphere is corrupting to the most of us, and intensely painful to the best - then never can those institu tions and measures of State which make our neighbours and ourselves moral or immoral be matter of indifference to the spiritual man; nor can the religious unions, which we call Churches, ever wisely cherish neutral sentiment towards them. The best and noblest churches, however strong and fresh the religious impetus within them, must necessarily be weakened, disorganized, and degraded, by prevailing public depravities. I will add, that when the spiritual influence within them be comes most intense, most pure, most beneficial, it will produce permanent results of good only in proportion as it affects public action or institutions.
