Excerpt from The Rich and the Poor One in Christ: A Sermon, Preached in S. Peter's Church, Sudbury, August 3, 1858; Being the Commemoration of the Free Opening and Restoration of the Church The rich and the poor meet together: the lord is the Maker Of them all.
HE who wrote this sentence was the richest as well as the wisest of men. For Holy Scripture expressly says, King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. And it was great part Of his Wisdom, no doubt, to consider how he should make the most of his riches, for god's glory and the good Of His people; and in order to do this, how he should order his own mind and heart concerning them. And we are told that god gave him not only wisdom and understanding, exceeding much, but also largeness of heart, even as the sand which is on the sea Shore.
