I. ITS BENEVOLENCE. What is the gospel? Help for man. It helps man —

1. To know God.

2. To preach Christ.

3. To promote civilisation.

II. ITS INFLUENCE. It recognises —

1. The independent capacity of man as a moral agent.

2. The weakness of man.

III. ITS MINISTRATION. The appeals of humanity to Christianity are various.

1. By the information of history.

2. By the general operation of Christian principles.

3. By inward impressions.

(Caleb Morris.)
