A Lamp to the Path / Or, The Word of God in the Heart, the Home, the Workshop and the Market-Place

A series of pastoral essays urges scripture as the guiding light for individual character and daily conduct across private and public life. Beginning with faith in the heart, the text moves through family duties, workshop habits, commercial ethics, and professional responsibilities, addressing Sabbath observance, the corrupting lure of wealth, and the threats of secularism and speculative mania. Historical and biographical examples are used to illustrate moral consequences and practical counsel for parents, laborers, merchants, physicians, lawyers, clergy, and social relations. The work concludes by presenting religious devotion as the crowning ornament of human life and preparation for what follows.
