Excerpt from Christian Encouragement, or Attempts to Console and Aid the Distressed and Anxious Oral or in a permanent form, should conduce to soothe or animate other minds, -it is too certain, from the temper of fallen man, that sentiments not Christian will have alloyed our thankfulness. But it is not less certain, that just humiliation and won der will often be excited, in the consciousness that an instrument so defective and so much offending, has been thus employed and favoured. An im pulse will be also given to each previous wish and prayer, that yet a little more may be effected to wards raising the hopes, obviating the doubts and dangers, or lightening the sorrows of our fellow minds. Our continuance in life, ever unsure, and transient at the most, is sometimes, from various causes, made to appear unusually doubtful; and such wishes thus acquire strength from the thought (if not presentiment) that it may be ere long and unawares too late. New attempts therefore, and the completion of them, may be prompted, not by an increased confidence, but by the more fre quent monitory voice around us or within us, The night cometh when none can work, and the desire to utter words of comfort to some surviving, when we may have been called to our unknown abode. In the anticipation of that change, - the hopes and fears which respect human opinion and criticism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
