Wilson, delivered at First Presbyterian Church, Wilmington, North Carolina, January 1, 1882 in which he takes the opportunity of the new year to discourse on the need for constant change. Wilson describes both the hard headed who never change and the irresolute who constantly change on a whim as being equally hard to move in the right direction. He then shows how even good Christians must constantly change in order to continue on the path towards Christ's ideal, declaring that God is the pole-star that must always be followed.</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.--Sermons--19th century</dc:subject><dc:subject>Presbyterian Church in the U.S.--Theology</dc:subject><dc:subject>Devotion</dc:subject><dc:subject>Change--Religious aspects--Presbyterians</dc:subject><dc:subject>New Year--United States--Southern States</dc:subject><dc:title>“They Changed Their Minds.” Acts 28:6 (January 8, 1883)</dc:title><dc:type>Text</dc:type></oai_dc:dc>
