Excerpt from The Reality of Life: A Discourse to the Graduating Class of Pennsylvania College
To the principle of civil and religious liberty, which, for many years, was unfolding and developing itself in England, and which has found its congenial soil and climate H1 this land, do we owe the bless ings, social and civil, which we now enjoy. The he roes of our Revolution, and the heroes of the Re formation were governed by this principle. No pow er of gold, no power of sentiment, or physical force, could shake it, or seduce them from under its mflu ence. Thus was the principle of love to Christ, the impelling and controlling power in the soul of the Apostle Paul. It bore him aloft far above selfish or worldly motives. He regarded all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ, by whom the world was crucified to him, and he to the world. It bore him forward in the race of use fulness, so that he outstripped his fellow Apostles, and could say that he was not a whit behind the very chief.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the concept of true life as explored in a religious sermon delivered to graduates in the mid-19th century. The author argues that real life is opposed to the fictitious and hypocritical, the dreamy and unreal, the idle and useless, and the perishable. Instead, it is found in the way of righteousness, where the glory of God and the good of man are the guiding motives. This emphasis on ethical conduct and service to others sets the book within the broader context of Christian moral philosophy. Through its exploration of what constitutes a meaningful and virtuous life, this book offers insights into the nature of spirituality, ethics, and human purpose.
