Charles Brooks, a resident of Newark, N.J, is credited with inventing the street sweeping trucks in 1896 with revolving brushes.
Street sweeping was a manual job until he invented the self-propelled street sweeper.
—Street sweeping was often a manual labor job in Brooks' time. Keeping in mind that horses and oxen were the main means of transportation — where there is livestock, there is manure. Rather than stray litter as you might see today in the street, there were piles of manure that needed to be frequently removed regularly. In addition, garbage and the contents of chamber pots would end up in the gutter.
The task of street sweeping was not carried out by mechanical equipment, but rather workers who roamed the street sweeping garbage up with a broom into a receptacle. This method clearly required a lot of labor, although it did provide employment.

Christ Commanded Us To Forgive
Tumblr media
by Charles Brooks (1795–1872)
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors - Matthew 6:12
By “our debtors” are intended those, who, in any respect, injure us, either in our persons, reputation, interest, or comfort. The Christian duty of forgiveness does not require a stoical or affected insensibility of such injurious treatment; for the gospel aims to regulate, not to extinguish the innocent feelings of our nature. Nor does the duty forbid our expressing to the injurious party a proper indignation and grief at his misconduct, and prudently attempting his conviction and amendment—on the contrary, the Scriptures enjoin us to go to our offending brother, and privately tell him his fault: its direction is, “You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbor, but shall not incur sin because of him” [Leviticus 19:17 NASB]—Nor does the duty in question prohibit us seeking satisfaction from those who have injured us. The laws of God, of self preservation, and of civil society warrant us, in such cases, to do justice to ourselves. The laws of Christianity require the injurious person to go and make satisfaction to his offended brother, and even to defer the performance of religious worship till he has honestly attempted this reconciliation.
The duty of forgiving offenders, implies, in the first place, that we really love them notwithstanding their pernicious conduct. We are to distinguish between the person and the fault; and to feel that he may become a good man, and then a good friend… The indulgence of an angry, sullen, malicious disposition towards an offender, is strictly forbidden. It is as remote from Christian forgiveness, as darkness is from light.
Secondly —this duty implies, a sincere desire and a resolved pursuit of the welfare of those who have injured us; and a heartfelt satisfaction in their amendment, and in their temporal and spiritual prosperity. He who thirsts for revenge or exults at the misfortunes of an offender has not the Christian spirit.
Thirdly—this duty requires a readiness of mind to confer with the offending party, to be reconciled to him on mild and equitable terms; and on his offering due satisfaction, to comfort him with the swift and frank assurance of our forgiveness and kindness. He who is only forced into reconciliation, betrays dark symptoms of latent enmity. The gospel requires a forgiving spirit and this spirit must be fixed, habitual and ready—not blind, and yet without wrath; not precipitate and yet free.

Christ Looked to the Future
Tumblr media
by Charles Brooks (1795–1872)
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” - Luke 23:34
This prayer was uttered while they were nailing our Savior to the cross. There is here a moral sublimity in Christ’s fortitude, compassion and piety, which you cannot find in the philosophers, legislators, or heroes of ancient or modern days. This prayer was no momentary flight of enthusiasm. The life and death of Jesus were, both of them, wonderful and consistent. He who at the beginning of his ministry said, “Love your enemies and bless them that curse you;” now in his extreme agony on the cross, prays, “Father forgive them.”... Did ever man, before, speak, think, act and feel, like this man?
...Is it not, then, a most humiliating thought, that we who can occasionally glow with admiration and melt with tenderness at the review of our Savior’s life and sufferings, should yet so often fall short of him in our temper and actions? Can a Christian be vainglorious, proud, revengeful and unforgiving? Can the follower of the prince of peace, mingle in strife? Can the doctrines of eternal love be conjoined with envenomed rancor? And why this lukewarm attachment? these divided affections? but from the want of that entire conviction and that deep impression of gospel truth, which overawes the passions and brings every thought into subjection?
The faith of Christ sustained him....If you would see extreme misery without hope, cast your eye at the impenitent thief. Here you behold an awful contrast.
Christ’s trust in a future recompense supported him. His death showed the spontaneous tenor of his soul, and his conduct was a [fitting] close to his eventful and unspotted life.
If the Savior’s example carries no practical influences to our hearts, we are lost to the most tender sympathies of our nature....to be happy with him where he is, we must be on earth what he was. We must be, like him, steadfast to the cause of truth and piety, however unsupported and opposed— we must manifest unshaken friendship to mankind, though requited by their enmity— and adore the goodness of God, notwithstanding clouds and darkness surround his throne.— Let us prepare for sufferings; and when we enter our garden of Gethsemane, let our heartfelt prayer be, Father, not as I will, but as you will.
