Creator	Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864
Title	Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 195, "Correspondence between the character of men and that of the god they worship," 1823 November
Dates	1823-11
Abstract	A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing the idea that although Christian men do not worship false idols, many worship the world supremely instead of worshiping God. Hitchcock claims that the character of a man matches that which he worships, and those who worship wordly things therefore share its characteristics, including inconstancy, enmity against God, and a lack of the spiritual, among others. Micah 4:5 is quoted. Hitchcock has noted the date and location where he delivered the sermon as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon on the first page.
