Excerpt from The Christian Merchant: A Discourse Delivered in the Church of the Divine Unity, on the Occasion of the Death of Jonathan Goodhue
A common and favorite form of evading the demands of the Gospel, is to maintain their incompatibility with the necessary conditions of human life. Under other and more favorable circumstances, we inwardly reason, the Christian life might be possible; and under almost any others than those beneath which we ourselves are struggling, less difficult; while our own providential lot seems directly hostile to, if not absolutely irre concileable with, the spirit and conduct required by Christ. Nothing but examples of the Christian life, under all varieties of circumstance, and amid the most trying and disadvantageous scenes, can adequately silence objections like these. The world needs to see men springing up in its busiest and most exposed paths, walking amid the flames of its most devouring passions, handling its most seductive and betraying objects, in contact with its most poisonous evils, and yet main taining there, principles which are above the sphere in which they move - aims that stoop not to the level on which they stand; a purity that is not to be contaminated; a character above suspicion or reproach.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a record of a sermon delivered after the death of a prominent businessman and church member named Jonathan Goodhue.

Through the example of Goodhue's unwavering moral principles and his dedication to the principles of peace, temperance, and respect for the rights of others, the author explores the potential for individuals to uphold Christian values even in the most demanding circumstances. The sermon concludes with a moving letter written by Goodhue himself, offering guidance to his family and reflecting on the importance of a life lived in accordance with the teachings of Christ.
