A Sermon, Preached at the Installation of Rev. George W. Briggs, as Pastor of the First Church in Salem, January 6, 1853 - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
Peter, v. 24. Feed the flock of God which is among you. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. The great office of the Christian ministry is to feed the flock of God, and thus sustain within their souls the divine life which may fit them for his service here, and his kingdom hereafter. I. But, in order to do this, we must believe that men have souls. In looking around, we see every one busy and anxious. Trains of merchandise come and go. Ships, laden with the products of every clime, pass from shore to shore, followed by the ardent wishes and expectations of men. Wharves are extended. Houses are built, and furnished with every luxury that can please the palate or the eye. Costly delicacies and garments are sought, with endless labor, from all the remote quarters of the globe, to feed and adorn these mortal bodies. Everything tells of what is outward and material.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
