"Sermons on National Subjects" by Charles Kingsley is a compilation of religious speeches from the late 1800s that explores the problems and ethics of the day. Grounded in the Bible, Kingsley speaks on national issues, saying how important belief and being morally correct is for directing how society acts and the choices it makes. The first speech talks about Christ as the King of the world and says that Advent is an important time to think about Jesus and how people are dealing with problems such as being poor and failing morally. He stresses how important it is to have a fair king when things are hard, and also pushes people to see how Christ's kingdom and justice work within the world. Kingsley believes that the teachings of the Bible are valuable and that people and societies need to get ready for Christ to return and judge them. He also wants people to look at their own wrongdoings, both personally and as a nation, and start doing good deeds.
