Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Reform: In Which Are Exhibited the Design, Principle and Plan of God, for the Full Development of Man, as a Social, Civil, Intellectual and Moral Being; Thereby Elevating Him in the Scale of Being to the Position He Was Created to Occupy
The same is true in the moral world. Rich trea sures are scattered all around us, but our sight is too dim to discover them. Yet here and there a gem is revealing itself, or a bright star is breaking out from the clouds; and thus, almost daily, we hnd some new inducement for renewed exertion to secure the posi tion in the rank of intelligences for which we were created. The people of former ages supposed they had reached the summit of wisdom, that there was no thing beyond their attainments, and that they had treasured up all the good destined for man in this world. To us, their folly in these notions is appa rent. We have advanced far beyond the position they occupied. Yet we are as ignorant as they were of the plans for securing the richer blessings that are held out to us; hence, we are constantly devising and putting in operation new plans and measures, which have increased, of late, to an almost endless extent and variety.
