Sermon notes by Edward Hitchcock concerning the ways in which people proceed and are successful in enterprise, including in literature, politics, and religion. He suggests that accomplishment comes either from hard labor, often the fruit of some discomfort or need, or from a willingness to risk closeness to God and the light. Hitchcock also discusses temperance and the reasons people will never be completely free from alcohol and stimulants.
