About this title

Synopsis

A Model For Men Of Business: Or, Lectures On The Character Of Nehemiah by Hugh Stowell. This work collects a sequence of lectures by the 19th-century Anglican clergyman Hugh Stowell, exploring the character of Nehemiah as a model for men in commerce. Stowell argues that true religion permeates everyday work, not merely the cloister, and that the fear of God should be the ruling motive in business. Through Nehemiah's master principle—'the fear of God'—and his secret strength found in prayer, the lectures trace how a godly man can oversee a mercantile life with integrity, temperance, and devotion. Topics cover Nehemiah's Spirit of Devotion, reliance on God's blessing, acknowledgment of God's hand, unwavering determination, uprightness in dealing, fortitude in duty, joy in serving God, worldliness, jealousy for God's honor, zeal for the sanctuary, the Sabbath, and humble dependence on divine mercy. The language is exhortative and doctrinal, urging merchants to resist fraud, exploitation, and reckless speculation, and to subordinate wealth to duty and charity. The work aims to cultivate character and leadership that are consistent with Christian faith, showing how to 'use the world as not abusing it' and how to shape business life by sanctified motives and steadfast trust in God.
