Excerpt from The Seven Deadly Sins: Sermons Preached in Trinity Chapel, New York, During Lent, 1888
"O hear ye this, all ye people; ponder it with your ears, all ye that dwell in the world." - Psalm xlix. 1, 2.
Many years have passed away since, during the season of Lent, I preached in this pulpit to the people on the subject of the Seven Deadly Sins. Requests have been repeatedly made that, at some convenient time, the subject would be resumed; and although it does not seem expedient to say over again, word by word, what was then said, nor to reproduce those instructions in their original form, yet there is no reason why we should not come back to the general theme, and keep it before us. For of the urgent questions of the time, none are of such universal urgency as those concerning the sins of men. The shadow of sin lies as heavy on the earth as in former years; nor is there any life which is not, to some extent, overcast by that horrible cloud. The misery which extorts complaints in every part of the land and from every grade of society, is the outcome of sin in some of its protean shapes.
