Christian Progress: A Sequel to the Anxious Inquirer After Salvation

The abiding impressiveness of John Angell James' classic on the Christian minitry lies largely in the manner in which he presents one simple idea: he argues that the effect of preaching is directly related to the heart-condition of the preacher, 'it is feeling which gives power to words and thoughts'. To command attention for the truth, its spokesmen must first be earnest, that is to say, be possessed by one single aim and by a devotion which leads them to surrender all that would hinder its attainment. Born in 1785, at a time when the preaching of the leaders of the evangelical revival was still remembered, James served Carrs Lane Congregational Church, Birmingham for fifty-five years. In later life he believed that the pulpit generally had become less effective, even though there was an increase in the availability of men, talent and training. He saw an evident loss of the power which Whitefield 'studied, discovered, and applied'; preaching was no longer 'adapted to produce conviction and conversion'. Employing Scripture and the lessons of outstanding preaching, drawn from both sides of the Atlantic, James' Earnest Ministry renewed the same call as Baxter's Reformed Pastor of two centuries earlier and it proved to be a book of no lesser value. At a time when many false explanations are offered for the decline in preaching, and when many have even ceased to pray, 'Send us preachers', this volume goes back to fundamentals and is itself a proof of the power of true earnestness.

Excerpt: ... transaction, but upon the supposition that Bethuel was dead. It is true the name occurs once in the history, but this probably was a brother. Laban was consulted. There was nothing clandestine in it. And, moreover, it was a marriage in which the claims of religion were considered. On this delicate subject I can not enlarge. If Rebekah showed too great an eagerness for quitting the single state, and somewhat too hasty a decision, from which, however, we have exculpated her, we do not recommend this to you. It may be natural enough to prefer the married to the unmarried state, when an opportunity offers for entering into it. But let not your minds be unduly restless and anxious in realizing the object of your wishes. Avoid all romantic and poetic imaginativeness on this momentous affair. Do not allow yourselves ever to treat it with levity, or to dictate a line of conduct which would look as if you were more anxious to be a wife, than to be qualified for such a state. Never come to the sonslusion that you can not be happy if you are not married, and can not but be happy if you are. Let the multitude of happy maidens, and the equal number of unhappy wives, correct such mistakes, and dispel all the illusions with which the idea of connubialism disturbs the propriety of some young women's conduct. Treat the whole subject not as a matter of poetry and romance, but as one of the gravest realities of life. It is an affair of love, but it is also an affair of prudence. It is a matter of taste, and even of poetic delightful but it is also a matter of judgment and of conscientiousness. It is not a thing to be laughed and joked about, but to be pondered in the deepest recesses of the soul, and prayed over in the most solemn seasons of devotion. It is momentous to b...

Excerpt from The Marriage Ring: Or How to Make Home HappyThis little volume, intended as a manual for those just entering the marriage state, is selected, principally, from the works of an author beloved and esteemed for his many practical writings, and who has very justly remarked:"It is an unquestionable truth, that if a man be not happy at home, he cannot be happy anywhere; and he who is happy there need be miserable nowhere. 'It is the place of all the world I love most,' said the interesting author of the task, when speaking of home. And he may be felicitated who can say the same. Any attempt, however feeble, to render the domestic circle, what it ever should be, a scene of comfort, is at least benevolent. The secret of happiness lies folded up in the leaves of the Bible, and is carried in the bosom of Religion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Christian Father's Present to His Children, Vol. 1 of 2As a christian, the author of the following volumes believes that there is a state of everlasting happiness prepared beyond the grave for those, and those only, who are partakers of pure and undetiled religion, and, as a parent, he will freely confess his supreme solicitude is, that his children, by a patient continuance in well doing, might seek for glory, honour, immortality; and finally possess themselves of eternal life. He is not insensible to the worth of temporal advantages; he is neither cynic nor ascetic; he appreciates the true value of wealth, learning, science, and reputation, which he desires, in such measure as God shall see fit to be- stow, both for himself and his children; he has conquered the world, but does not despise it; he resists its yoke as a master, but values its ministrations as a servant. Still, however, he views the present state of sublunary affairs as a splendid pageant, the fashion of which passeth away, to give place to the glory which shall never be moved: he looketh not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. It is on this ground that he attaches so much importance to a religious education.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
