Excerpt from A Sermon Preached in St. Andrew's Church, Philadelphia, Before the Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in the Diocese of Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, May 16, 1855 We live in a remarkable age. The spirit of change and progress is abroad - Of progress, sometimes in a right direction, and Often in a wrong one - and frequently erring by excess, even when the direction is right. Yet, no wise man will overlook the -fact, that such a spirit is abroad. We cannot crush it if we would - and we ought not if we could - but rather seek to check its tendencies to extravagance, and by giving it right aims make it potent, for good, instead of evil. Such movements in the popular mind, usually indicate the existence of some great and pressing necessity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
