Excerpt from The Young Man's Friend: Containing Admonitions for the Erring, Counsel for the Tempted, Encouragement for the Desponding, Hope for the FallenThis volume is given to the public, by the advice of some Of the author's most judicious friends, who cherish the hope that it may be the means of shield ing the young from crime and leading them to the practice of virtue and the pursuit of holiness.The lectures were originally delivered to a large congregation of young men, and it has been thought best, that the direct, personal appeal of the pulpit should be retained, and such alterations only, made, as would adapt them to general circulation.The object of the book is, to impress upon the minds of young men, such lessons of virtue as will render them useful and successful in life, and by presenting the old Puritan view of sinful pleasures, lead the reader to cultivate the Old Puritan integrity.While innocent amusements have been encouraged, dangerous amusements have been condemned, andthe mind directed to healthy, reasonable sources of recreation, which have been furnished so amply by nature and by God amusements which embrace utility with recreation, and pleasure with profit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
