"A Discourse for the Time, delivered January 4, 1852 in the First Congregational…" by W. H. Furness is a powerful religious discourse written in the early 19th century. This book is a sermon that addresses critical societal and political issues of the time, primarily focusing on the interconnectedness of individual lives and public affairs. The discourse highlights the pressing matters of freedom and humanity amidst the political turmoil in Europe, especially reflecting on events in France, while urging individuals to recognize their responsibilities toward public welfare. In this discourse, Furness argues that no person lives in isolation and emphasizes the importance of civic engagement and social responsibility. He uses the recent brutal events in France as a backdrop to illustrate the dangers of apathy towards public matters, warning that indifference can lead to dire consequences for individuals, regardless of their desire to remain uninvolved. Furness fervently advocates for a collective moral conscience that recognizes the responsibility of each individual to participate in the greater good of humanity. He urges his audience to embrace their duties not only as citizens but as moral beings connected by a shared humanity, particularly in the face of systemic oppression, such as slavery in America, which he argues directly impacts the fight for liberty and justice everywhere.
