Discourse to Young Ladies Sermon (Classic Reprint) ~ Paperback ~ B Sunderland

Excerpt from Discourse to Young Ladies Sermon In assuming to address you of the other sex, I feel some hesitation, because I lack in my own nature a woman's heart. It is not for one who cannot know from his own experience your peculiar emotions and sentiments, under all varieties of circumstances, to tell you the best things for your mission and your time. It needs that heart should speak to heart, and soul to soul. You must have a thousand suggestions of which we of the other sex are wholly Ignorant. It takes a like nature thoroughly to comprehend its like. Then I see that this grosser, ruder man's nature of mine, that comes forth out of the dust, cannot fully divine that gentler, rarer nature of yours, which did not so directly spring from the earth. Nor, perhaps, can I speak to you so very well or wisely of the influence of outward circumstances and conditions upon that more instinctive, more enduring nature, as when by birth, by education, by association, by fortune, by society, by rank, by station, by your own thoughts and feelings, purposes and desires, your character, example, influence, and action are all touched, swayed, controlled, and fixed in a thousand ways unknown to us. But then I can come as your brother, standing outside the tabernacle, and say some things to the spirit dwelling within.
