Book Description

Excerpt from Household Consecration The time has arrived when the subject of Household Consecration is to be more thoroughly studied, understood, and practised, than at any former period. An institution founded upon imperishable reasons, and animated by principles which control the destinies of our race, must, in the progress of mankind towards the ages of universal Christianity, be more fully displayed and divinely honored. The rise of Sabbath schools, Bible classes, and infant schools; the publication of books on the domestic relations; the formation of maternal associations; the history of revivals, as written in the biography of departed worthies, and in our own delightful experience; have conspired to arouse the Church of God to a deeper and livelier faith in the covenant of consecration. The author has, for years, watched with intense interest the operations of divine Providence and grace, in reference to this ordinance of the Church, and has become animated with the firm and joyful belief, that its power and virtue have not at all been developed in the fulness of their splendor.
