Excerpt from A Picture of Christian Philosophy

Many have reprei'ented the Chriliian temper as of the morofe and fulien kind; and have thought it criminal. For a Chrii'tian to engage in the bufile of the world, and to {bare in the gaie ties of life. But the example of Jefus fanélions no fuch conclufions. He did not make failing and prayer the key to heaven. He did not éiijoiii the fad but the cheerful countenance. Habits of solemn devotion he commanded and he praaifed but his example proves that, that 'fpecies of devotion is moft agreeable to heaven.

Excerpt from A Picture of Christian Philosophy

Some philosophers of our times have recommended a spirit of universal philanthropy, to the extinction of all local and individual partialities.
