Summary "The Spirit Proper to the Times" by James Walker is a sermon delivered in King's Chapel, Boston, during the early 1860s, amidst the tumult of the American Civil War. This work can be classified as a religious discourse, focusing on the themes of public spirit, sacrifice, and moral duty in the context of societal challenges. Walker explores the notion of sacrifice for the public good, contrasting the actions and motivations of the public in times of peace with those that arise during crises, emphasizing that true patriotism is rooted in a commitment to liberty and order. In his sermon, Walker passionately discusses the concept of public spirit and its vital role in uniting a community during times of adversity. He reflects on human nature's capacity for selflessness and action when faced with a national emergency, urging individuals to embrace the call for sacrifice, whether it be through financial contributions, labor, or even laying down their lives for the greater good. Walker acknowledges the sacrifices made during the Civil War and suggests that such challenges may revitalize a waning public spirit by awakening instincts for cooperation and altruism. Ultimately, he affirms that these sacrifices, borne from a genuine moral force, are pleasing to God and essential for the nation's survival and moral integrity.
