Excerpt from The Ten Commandments: A Course of Lectures Delivered Before the University of PennsylvaniaIn the autumn of 1888, the Provost and Deans of the Faculties of the University of Pennsylvania honored the writer with the request to deliver before the students "a series of Sunday Afternoon Addresses upon Religious Topics."In acceding to this request, the writer, believing the Ten Commandments to be the foundation-stones of Authoritative Morality or True Society, selected them for the theme of his lectures.These Commandments, being in their nature so fundamental, germinal, and immortal, have, of course, occupied much of the writer's reflections during a ministry of more than thirty years. Accordingly, he feels justified in incorporating into this book certain thoughts and words which have appeared elsewhere.The Scriptural citations are almost uniformly from the Revised Version.In venturing to send forth this volume, the author humbly prays that Almighty God may be pleased to bless it to the moral elevation of the young people of Christendom.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
