Excerpt from Sermons Delivered by Elias Hicks and Edward Hicks: In Friends' Meetings, New-York, in 5th Month, 1825
In another case this form of address has pre vailed, in which the Lord spoke to his prophet Jeremiah, and said, My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water. Here the queries seem to arise in my mind, how far it is proper to consider all as the servants of God, who profess to be subject to the same discipline. We have all too much forsaken the Lord.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the themes of faith, righteousness, and the human condition through a series of sermons delivered in the early 19th century. The author, a prominent religious figure of the time, uses the biblical narratives of Jesus Christ and the prophets to illustrate the dangers of hypocrisy and the importance of genuine spiritual conversion. The sermons grapple with the complex interplay of outward religious practice and inward spiritual transformation. The author cautions against seeking external validation through titles, wealth, or social standing, emphasizing instead the necessity of a personal, internal relationship with God. He challenges the complacency of those who claim they would have acted differently in past eras of persecution, highlighting the ever-present threat of pride and self-deception within the human heart. The sermons offer a powerful critique of the religious establishment of the time, while advocating for a simple, heartfelt faith rooted in love and compassion. They resonate with readers today by reminding us that true piety is not merely a matter of outward conformity but a transformative journey of personal dedication to the divine.
