Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Charity in the Ancient Church Our Lord calls the commandment of love which He gave to His disciples a new commandment (John xiii, 34). And such indeed it was, for the world before Christ came was a world without love. Lactantius, writing at the time when, after a struggle which had lasted for centuries, Christianity had at length obtained the upper hand, lays great emphasis upon this difference between the Christian and the heathen world, saying: Compassion and humanity are virtues peculiar to the righteous and to the worshippers of God. Philosophy teaches us nothing of them. And should this witness, as coming from one who was himself a Christian, appear suspicious, there is still quite trustworthy evidence in the astonishment with which the heathen regarded the charitableness of the Christians, which seemed so strange to them; and a still stronger witness may be seen in the endeavour of the Emperor Julian to introduce into heathendom this new thing, which he could not but recognise as a peculiarity of Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charity of the Primitive Churches: Historical Studies Upon the Influence of Christian Charity During the First Centuries of Our Era, With Some Considerations Touching Its Bearings Upon Modern Society IN forming the heart of man, God has implanted in him, besides the instinct which makes him look to his preservation and well-being, an instinct of sympathy, which gives him an interest, also, in the happiness of his fellows. Whilst the former would engage him to live exclusively within himself, and to take himself for the only object of his aflections, the latter draws him out of himself and forces him to live, to feel, and to suffer, to a certain degree, in others. There is, be tween these two instincts, the same relation that exists between the two forces, the concurrence of which keeps up the harmony of the universe; on their precise equi librium depends the welfare of society and the har mony of the moral world. Who has not heard, in the depths of his heart, the often importunate voice of pity? Who has not yielded to it, sometimes, even at the expense of his own interest? The most selfish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Charity, Its Obligations and Objects: With Reference to the Present State of Society, in a Series of Sermons Two reasons have concurred and induced me to prepare the following Sermons for the press. First, a conviction that the duty of attending to the wants and circumstances of those around us, is far less generally practised, than is consistent with the spirit of Christianity. Secondly, a belief that attention to such wants and circumstances, i.e. that charity in all its branches, is the appointed preventive of the evils connected with a fully peopled and highly civilised community. Where it has not acted as a preventive, it may yet be blessed as a remedy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Christian Charity Explained written by John Angell James and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Charity Explained: Or the Influence of Religion Upon Temper Stated; In an Exposition of the Thirteenth Chapter of the First Epistle to the Corinthians A work which the Author published a few years since, on the Duties of Church Members, concludes with the following sentence: - "Let us remember, that humility and Love are the necessary fruits of our doctrines, the highest beauty of our character, and the guardian angels of our churches." To prove and elucidate this sentiment, and to state at greater length than it was possible for him to do in that treatise, the nature, operations, and importance of charity; he was induced to eater upon a series of Discourses on the chapter which is the subject of this volume: These Discourses, were heard with much attention, and apparent interest. Before they were finished, many requests were presented for their publication; a promise was given to that effect, and the intention announced to the Public. On a further inspection of his notes, the Author saw so little that was either novel, or on any account worthy to meet the public eye, that he had for two years quite abandoned his intention of printing. Circumstances which need not be mentioned, together with frequent inquiries from his friends after the forthcoming treatise, drew his attention again to the subject a few months since, and revived the original purpose of sending from the press the substance of these plain and practical Discourses. That intention is now executed; with what results, the sovereign grace of Jehovah, to which it is humbly commended, must determine. The Author offers this volume primarily and chiefly to his own friends, to whom it is dedicated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book American Charities written by Amos Griswold Warner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Charities: A Study in Philanthropy and Economics The influence Of religion upon the benevolent instincts Of man can be studied in nearly all its phases in the history Of charities administered by the Christian church; and in that history can be traced the power of an accepted theology both to exalt and to degrade the charitable impulse. While the antiquarian may be able to point out many traces of active benevolence before the Christian era, while there is much genuine philan thropy outside Of Christianity, and while it may even be said that the church of the present day that administers its charities most wisely is not Christian at all, but J ew ish, -it yet remains true that charity, as we know it, gets its chief religious authority and incentive from Him who gave as the summary Of all the law and prophets the co-ordinate commands to love God and to love our neighbor, and who, in explaining these commands, pro nounced the parable Of the Good Samaritan. At first, Christianity brought to the world a purified and enno bled charity, a love of fellow men very different from the semi-selfish motives that prompted to prayer, pen ance, and almsgiving as means to a common end - that Of securing divine favor. The early diaconate seems to have been a satisfactory way Of organizing what is now called friendly Visiting.
