Excerpt from The Ministry for the Poor: A Discourse Delivered Before the Benevolent Fraternity of Churches in Boston, on Their Anniversary, April 9, 1835
Thus for the poor, as for all men, there are provis ions for happiness and it deserves remark, that their happiness has a peculiar dignity. It is more honora ble to be content with few outward means, than with many; to be cheerful amidst privation, than amidst overflowing plenty. A poor man, living on bread and water, because he will not ask for more than bare sustenance requires, and leading a quiet, cheerful life through his benevolent sympathies, his joy in duty, his trust in God, is one of the true heroes of the race, and understands better the meaning of happiness, than we, who cannot be at ease, unless we clothe ourselves in purple, and fare sumptuously every day, unless we surround, defend, and adorn ourselves with all the products of nature and art. His scantiness of outward means is a sign of inward fulness, whilst the slavery, in which most of us live to luxuries and accommoda tions, shows the poverty within.
