Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ministerial Influence: A Sermon Delivered at the Opening of the Synod of Philadelphia, in Lancaster, Pa., October 27, 1830
The use of this substance in the material kingdom to counteract a tendency to decay and putrefaction, and pre serve in a sound and healthful state the objects to which it is applied, is too well known to render any extended expla nation of the comparison necessary. It is here assumed by our Saviour as a fact. That there is so strong and so universal a tendency in mankind to increasing depravity. That without some eficient counteracting in?uence, they would proceed from bad to worse, until all those moral qualities necessary to their social and individual happin'ess, and even existence, would soon be lost in one mass of moral putrefaction.
