Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered Before the Washington Benevolent Society at Poultney, on the 4th of July 1814 When the son of God came down to deliver us from the slavery of sin and death, the era was announced by an Angel with a multitude of the heavenly host, proclaiming, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men!" A star appeared in the east, as the Herald of the day of Divine light dawning upon the world, "which had lain in darkness and the shadow of death." The wise men of the east saw the light: - and as representatives of the heathen world, came from a far country to offer gifts and honors to the Son of God dwelling in flesh. These illustrious men commemorated the glorious event; and bore testimony against every nation which regards not the blessing. Nature, men and Angels concur in the propriety of celebrating the day, which gave moral freedom to man. The chosen people of God commemorated the day of their deliverance from the house of bondage. They keep the feast of the passover "as an ordinance forever;" by eating a lamb without blemish, with their loins girded, shoes on their, feet and staves in their hands. All nations celebrate the era of important events, which have procured to them the blessings of peace, liberty and Independence. Shall Americans forget the day of their birth and youthful prosperity and Independence? - God forbid. - But let the days which are past correct the present and guard the future. Nations, like men, have their birth, youth, manhood, decrepitude of years, diseases and dissolution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
