Giving Thanks

It was Thanks giving in America this past Thursday. And a day or two after that, I had reason to give thanks too. A breach of friendship that caused me to feel sorely afflicted the past few months, even beyond normal bounds for me was healed, it wasn’t just their fault, it rarely is [...]

I used to tell folks, I hate poetry, when I used to write, and would [...]

Thou allowest Thy disciples, Lord Jesus, to do what is necessary for their subsistence on the Sabbath, but surely not luxuriate in sumptuous festivity.
But let me proceed on the lawfulness of doing well upon the Sabbath-day; and, O, that this day I could be the instrument of restoring to spiritual life the worldly and the [...]
