The Lessons Of The Pestilence: Discourse by William Maccall. This 1849 Royston sermon examines the meaning of calamity and the Providence of God in the face of pestilence. Delivered at Royston on September 23, 1849, the discourse surveys why pestilence occurs, situates it within universal natural law rather than divine caprice, and argues that life and suffering are part of a divine life-force. It contends that misery can spur reform and heroism, and it analyzes four main points: pestilence is not an exceptional or arbitrary judgment; it follows God’s unchanging laws; it is a manifestation of mercy aimed at universal life; and it can prompt social reforms such as healthier housing. The piece also includes a prayer for resignation and courage, and closes with exhortations toward duty to the poor and to humane public action.
