Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Review of the Past: A Sermon, Delivered at Sheffield, on the First Sabbath in January, 1829; With Reference to the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Author's Settlement in That Place
IF indeed, as the pious poet has well said, l'is greatly wise to talk with our past hours, and ask them what report they bore to heaven, surely it is the part of wisdom to review our past years, and enquire what is their record concerning us in the remembrance of Him from Whom we received them, and who will require them all at our hands. The past, my friends, the post, ah it is not, as too oft en imagined, it is not vanished and annihilated as a dream when one awaketh. 'with all its blessings, and privileges, and warnings, the past is in the eye of God as though it were present; and shall return again, and be exhibited before his throne. Where we shall all be assembled to meet it, answer for it and receive according to its testimony.
