Author Description

Excerpt from A Discourse on Systematic Benevolence, Pronounced Before the Ev. Luth. Synod of Maryland, October 15, 1852: And an Address to the Laity of the Evangelical Lutheran Church And while it afforded me an opportunity of adding a brief address to our lay members, it is hoped that it will also be more satisfactory to the reader to have it in a connected form. My brethren will perceive that both the Discourse and Ad dress are not of a dogmatic but suggestive character; and, therefore, mainly designed to awaken attention to the importe ance of the subject of which they treat. Hoping that these thoughts may thus, in an humble degree, contribute to the promotion of the Church's interest and the advancement of the Redeemer's glory, I commit them to the care of God and His people.
