Project Gutenberg 2007-01-29 Public domain in the USA. 110 Beard, Charles 1827 1888 Strong Souls A Sermon Produced by Tamise Totterdell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Strong Souls" by Charles Beard is a sermon delivered at Renshaw Street Chapel in Liverpool, written in the late 19th century. This publication reflects on the nature of life and the inherent inequalities present among individuals regarding the quality and purpose of their existence. In a deeply contemplative tone, Beard emphasizes the importance of living a life enriched by strong moral values, human connection, and a spiritual quest for deeper meaning. In "Strong Souls," Beard explores the concept of life as a divine gift, where the abundance of existence is measured not solely by its length but also by its depth and impact on others. He underscores the idea that true happiness comes from selfless service and vibrant engagement with humanity rather than from mere personal fulfillment. Beard passionately advocates for a life led by strong ethical values, where individuals are called to embrace challenges and contribute positively to the world. The closing appeal of the sermon is directed particularly at the youth, urging them to seek out a life that embodies these principles, encourages spiritual growth, and fosters a commitment to serving both God and humanity.
