Excerpt from Practical Piety: Four Discourses Delivered at Central Music Hall, ChicagoI honor the prudence that foresees the rainy day and anticipates the wants of old age. I would not have man less provident than the ant that does have a care for, the non-productive winter. Before I be gin to talk about the Economies of Religion, let me admit that there are some phases of religion that must be classed among the last luxuries of the wealthy, they are too costly for many, perhaps for most of you to indulge in. The religion of outward form is very expensive. It is a luxury that demands very good clothes, and a costly church toshow them off in. Impressive architecture, beautiful interiors, artistic music, professionally rendered, are all desirable, but they are scarcely for those who are struggling to feed and train growing families.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
