Practicable Socialism: Essays on Social Reform
Barnett, S. A. (Samuel Augustus)
Great Britain -- Social conditions -- 19th century; Social problems; Working class
do; whatever we do, whatever we give, whatever we are, there is more we
ought to do, more we ought to give, and more we ought to be.
To-night, then, seeing the doom discernible amid the undoubted
blessings of this Jubilee year; to-night, conscious that the progress
(for which we thank God) has threatenings as well as promises, I
preach, ‘Be righteous.’ No, it is not I who preach. It is Poverty,
Ignorance, Sin. It is God Himself speaking through the pity and anger
raised by the sight of these things. It is God Himself speaking
through the reason raised by the thought of these things. It is God,
the Almighty, the ‘I am,’ ‘Who is, and was, and will be,’ who says
to-night, ‘Be righteous.’ If fifty righteous men, with Jesus as their
Master, ‘feeding on Him by faith,’ would form a Holy Communion, the
city might be spared for their sakes.
