Excerpt from A Discourse Commemorative of Rev. Lewis Sabin, D. D: Preached at His Funeral, in Templeton, Mass;, June 11, 1873
But the Bible completely reverses all this. It sets very little value upon personal attractions or intellectual powers, but makes everything of character. It says, Covet earnestly the best gifts; but there is a more excellent way, and that is charity, in other words love, goodness.
The first qualification for a minister, or a member of Con gress, or for any other officer, civil or religious, is that he should be a good man and true, a man of integrity and up rightness, a kind, charitable, benevolent man, a true Chris tian, loving his neighbor as himself, and doing to others as he would have others do to him. Then if he is a great man too, thaf is very well. Nay, real, substantial, unchanging, and unswerving goodness is a chief element of greatness. Indeed, it is the only true greatness. The good man is the only great man in the sight of God; and just in proportion as mankind grow better, and come to be more like God, he only will be great in the eyes of men also.

Excerpt from A Discourse Commemorative of Rev. Lewis Sabin, D. D: Preached at His Funeral, in Templeton, Mass;, June 11, 1873
Prof. W.S. Tyler - Dear Sir: At a regular meeting of the Church, the Church voted to instruct the Clerk of the Church to request a copy of the Sermon preached by you at the Funeral of Rev. Lewis Sabin, D. D., for publication. In accordance with that vote, I now request a copy of the Sermon preached by you at the Funeral of Rev. Lewis Sabin, D. D., for publication. We feel that its publication will not only give Dr. Sabin's numerous friends much satisfaction, but that it will be the means of much good.
Mr. A. H. Merriam, Clerk of the Trinitarian Church in Templeton - Dear Sir: The Sermon preached at the Funeral of Rev. Dr. Sabin, of which the Church so long under his pastoral care request a copy for publication, was written under an unusual pressure of private and public duties, and is very far from coming up to my conception of the subject and the occasion. But I do not feel at liberty to disregard the wishes of the Church, especially when accompanied with an expression of their belief that it will not only give Dr. Sabin's numerous friends much satisfaction, but will also be the means of much good. As soon, therefore, as I can find time so far to revise the manuscript as to make it legible, I will send a copy for publication, hoping that it may accomplish, in some measure, the end for which it was asked.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the life and character of Barnabas, an early Christian minister who played a prominent role in the spread of Christianity to the Gentiles, the non-Jewish people of the Roman Empire. The author argues that Barnabas was a key figure in the development of Christianity as a universal religion, open to people of all backgrounds. The book draws on both biblical and historical sources to paint a vivid portrait of Barnabas, a man of great faith, generosity, and wisdom. The author explores Barnabas's relationships with other early Christian leaders, such as Paul and Peter, and shows how he helped to bridge the gap between the Jewish and Gentile communities within the early church. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity. It offers a fresh perspective on the life and work of one of the most important figures in the early church.
