Thomas edition by David Price  a"The Glory of Grace Effected by Weak Means" by J. Church is a sermon delivered in the early 19th century, specifically in 1822. This religious discourse centers around themes of divine grace and the salvation of children, particularly focusing on the life and death of Samuel Church, the author's son. It intertwines theological principles with personal reflection, emphasizing the wonder of God's workings through seemingly weak vessels.  The sermon explores the profound truth that God's glory can be revealed through the faith and experiences of children, using biblical narratives and theological insights to illustrate this. Church reflects on the trials faced by his son during his short life, his spiritual awareness, and his final moments, highlighting Samuel's expressions of hope, assurance, and desire for divine grace. The narrative serves both as a eulogy and an affirmation of Christian faith, ultimately conveying a message of hope and eternal salvation through grace, which resonates deeply with the audience.
