Excerpt from Righteousness and the Pulpit: A Discourse Preached in the First Church, Dorchester, on Sunday, Sept, 30, 1855
Again, it is asked, What good can the pulpit promise itself from a discussion of this subject? The harm is evident. Where is the good? 'and where is it? I do not know; I do not care to know. Ask Him who formed the soul for truth, to find therein its sustenance and salvation, and whose kingdom is to come in the world only through his blessing upon the spoken and the manifested truth. Ask him who for this end was born, and for this cause came into the world, that he might bear witness to the truth, and who bore witness to it against scoff and sneer, the frown of power and the threatening of hate in the sublime faith that it would win for itself, at length, a universal triumph. Ask the thousands who, in a like faith, have lived and died for it, lived in persecution, died in martyrdom; scattering as they went, on the world's bleak waysides, its celestial seed, to spring and bloom above their graves. 0 friends! If we really believed that that kingdom of God for which we pray were indeed to come only through the fidelity of individual man, we should not ask, of the simplest word, from the humblest lips, in the narrowest sphere, spoken from the fulness of a loyal heart, What good will it do?

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is the transcript of a sermon delivered by a minister in response to the perceived tension between preaching righteousness and the increasingly political nature of slavery in the United States. The author argues that the pulpit is the ideal place from which to discuss such issues, as it is the responsibility of the minister to speak out against injustice. Despite the fact that some feel the subject is too controversial for the pulpit, the author maintains it is one of the most important topics that should be discussed in a religious setting. The book includes a discussion of the various arguments against preaching about slavery, and the author's responses to these arguments. It also includes a discussion of the importance of speaking out against injustice, and the role that the pulpit can play in this.
