Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ministerial Salary: An Address
Mr. President - It does not become the re cipients of numerous gifts to ask the giver why he did not choose some other plan in bestowing his favors. No; rather let them receive the gifts with thankfulness, and show their appreciation by making such returns as they can. For aught I know, God in the infinitude of his nature might have brought life and immortality to light through some other agency than that chosen. He might have communicated his will and purposes to man through the ministry of angels alone. But the fact that he has not done so is conclusive evidence that that would not have been the better way. What God sees proper to do is and must be eter nally right, no matter how mysterious and inexplica ble it may be to us for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him, both in heaven and on the earth. He is the Almighty, and we are only as the fine dust in the balance in his sight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
