Abstract
A sermon by Edward Hitchcock directed towards the youth in his congregation, emphasizing the importance that young people seek out God. Hitchcock uses the recent death of a young member of the community to impress upon his listeners the uncertainty of life. Hitchcock details the ways that young people should seek God, such as with sincerity, with a willingness to sacrifice, and perseveringly. He then goes on to give reasons why it is easier for young people to seek God and live a holy life, including that young people are freer from worldly cares than adults, their religious sensibilities are stronger, and their habits of sin are less entrenched, among other reasons. Proverbs 8:17 is quoted. Hitchcock has noted the date and location where he delivered this sermon on the first page.
