Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Edward Bickersteth, Rector of Watton, Herts, Vol. 4: The Christian Hearer There is among multitudes both of rich and poor in this Country, through their wilful neglect, nearly as great a famine of hearing the Word as though they had been born in a Heathen land with the awful aggravation of guilt, that they live in a country to which God has in this day given a full share of Scriptural Truth.
