Sinopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1855. Excerpt: ... SERMON. "Ye ALSO HELPING TOGETHER BY PRAYER FOR US, THAT FOR THE GIFT BESTOWED UPON US BY THE MEANS OF MANY PERSONS, THANKS MAY BE GIVEN BY MANY ON OUR BEHALF." 3 Cor. i: si.

It may, moreover, largely bring into realization the true ideal of what a christian college ought to be within itself, namely, its whole growing, busy, intellectual life, one continuous holiness to the Lord. So bright possibilities of good open to our hope within this new pastorate. And on the other hand, equal liabilities present themselves, since all men are ever fallible and frail. So that, in most sober estimate of it, the event of this hour may prove within this its sphere, a solemn crises for good, or its opposite, touching the well-being of man and the glory of God for time and eternity.
