Résumé :
Excerpt from Sermons: At Darby Meeting, on First-Day Morning, and at Cherry Street Meeting, First-Day Afternoon, Fifth Month 20, 1849

In accordance with the experience of the highly-gifted apostle Paul, rbave felt on the present occasion, as well as at many other times in my life, that in all things I am in structed. 'whilst I have been sitting, a short sentence has been brought to my remembrance thati penned in very early life, I might say in infancy. It was merely a an that was given me to write from. I wrote it over and over, for there was something in it that made a most powerful impression oon me; it felt to me that the senti~ ments therein contained comprised very much. It was simply this: Let every man sweep before his own door. I looked it over, I re?ected upon it, I said surely it is a most excellent lesson, not merely to copy in a book, but to put in practice. I do not know that at that early period of my life, any outward evidence ever made a more forcible impression upon my mind; and as my faculties became more fully developed, I was frequently led to apply it to myself and those with whom I was associated. 0h! If every man would sweep before his own door.
