The Baptist Preacher, 1850, Vol. 9 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Baptist Preacher, 1850, Vol. 9

In accordance with a practice well nigh universal, we present our pat rons and readers this, our ninth New Year's Address. We sincerely congratulate them and ourselves, that Divme Providence permits us to enter hpon the duties of another year. We intend, however, no mere passing compliment, but mean what we say. That for which we offer congratulation, involves grave responsibilities, of which we cannot be, nor can our patrons and readers be, insensible. It is a matter of grave import to live. The mere misapphcation of talents is unfortunate if not bad; to suffer them to remain unemployed, is a perversion of Divine goodness; and to abuse them is stril worse. No man, who can work, has a right even to remain idle. Especially does it behoove every man in this age, and in this country, to see and know what'he does. But that we may confine our present remarks to the subject which new more immediately concerns us, although in connection With the present sea son, we must descend to several particulars, upon each of which, we shall be brief.
