Extract from a Sermon Delivered at the Bulfinch-Street Church, Boston, Jan. 9, 1853, the Sunday Following the Interment of the Late Amos Lawrence

by Frederick T. Gray

AMOS LAWRENCE,

BY ONE WHO WOULD OFFER A GRATEFUL TRIBUTE TO THE
MEMORY OF HIM WHO SO WELL DESERVED
THE EXALTED TITLE
OF THE

Poor Man's Christian Friend.

The text of the Sermon, from which the following extract was taken, was the seventh verse of the second chapter of Paul's Second Epistle to Timothy: "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things."

After contrasting the views and maxims of the worldly-minded with those of the Christian, and stating the claims of the Young Men's Christian Union, the Discourse closed with the following tribute to the character and memory of one who was the early patron and devoted friend of that Society.
