Excerpt from History of the Presbyterian Church of Albert Lea, Minn: A Sermon, July 2, 1876The best lessons of life are those of experience. Our all-wise Heavenly Father largely adopts this method of instruction. He teaches us by experience, our own experience, and that of others. We are so constituted by nature, that it is difficult to impress us deeply by any other means. We can hardly have any idea of the punishment of sin, until we have some little feeling of it. "Thou shalt surely die, " did not impress Adam and Eve as it would impress us, for it had never come near them as it has come near us. On the other hand, the promised joy of forgiveness, the sweet peace of reconciliation, cannot be appreciated by those who have not experienced it. We have hardly the faintest idea of heaven's happiness, until we enjoy a foretaste of it here.Next to our own experience, we appreciate the testimony of those who have been through what we have not. We are scarcely less wise than our fathers, when we are willing to heed their counsel.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
