Transcribed from the 1881 Macmillan and Co. edition by David Price "Discipline and Other Sermons" by Charles Kingsley is a collection of sermons written in the late 19th century that explores themes of personal development, moral character, and spirituality. The opening sermon, "Discipline," specifically delves into the concept of discipline as a tool for self-improvement and societal strength, drawing parallels between the ancient Israelites’ journey and the growth of individuals in a community. Kingsley emphasizes the importance of moral training alongside physical training, arguing that true strength and character arise from self-restraint, obedience, and a shared sense of purpose. At the start of the book, Kingsley reflects on the transformation of the Israelites from enslaved individuals in Egypt to a disciplined and unified community capable of great achievements. He discusses how their forty years in the wilderness acted as a form of moral and military education, shaping them into a people capable of both conflict and civilization. The sermon serves as a call to contemporary listeners—particularly those in military service—to reckon with their own paths of growth, urging them to embrace discipline not just as a means to an end but as essential to becoming fully realized individuals who contribute positively to society.
