Wilson, delivered at First Presbyterian Church, Wilmington, North Carolina, 1878, again in 1879 at the 19th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States in Louisville, Kentucky when serving as moderator, and also at Grace Street Presbyterian Church, Richmond, Virginia, January 3, 1897. Wilson describes some of the extraordinary things achieved by Biblical characters who all ascribe their work to faith and then claims that faith works with equal power today. He lists three things which bring evil to mankind, the world, the flesh, and the devil, and, for each, describes how faith works as a barrier for the soul.</dc:description><dc:format>application/pdf</dc:format><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:rights>http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/</dc:rights><dc:subject>Presbyterian Church in the U.S. General Assembly</dc:subject><dc:subject>Presbyterian Church in the U.S.--Sermons--19th century</dc:subject><dc:subject>Presbyterian Church in the U.S.--Theology</dc:subject><dc:subject>Faith--Christianity</dc:subject><dc:subject>Good and evil--Religious aspects--Presbyterians</dc:subject><dc:title>How Old Art Thou?
