Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered at Northampton, Before the Hampshire, Hampden and Franklin, Agricultural Society, October 27, 1831 The cultivation of the Earth is the natural and appropriate employment of man. He was formed of the earth; and his birth-place was a garden. A garden too, planted and cultivated by the hand of Him, who created it; in which "grew every tree pleasant to the sight, or good for food; the tree of Life, also, in the midst of the garden." This exhibition, so rich in the beauties of Nature; so luxuriant in her fruits and foliage; was designed to teach the new inhabitant his future employment; and his connection with the earth, which he was soon to be commissioned "to dress and till." And, "the tree of Life in the midst of the garden," contained a direction, as by precept, that, amid all his cares and labors, the worship of his Maker, the Great Proprietor, should hold a preeminent place. Thus establishing, by a silent but immutable decree, the intimate relation subsisting between his labors and his duties - a relation as lasting, as his pilgrimage on earth. How much ought every husbandman to regard his high destination! How deeply feel his responsibility, and his obligation to follow the great example here set before him; and to obey the precept, here so forcibly taught! Accordingly we find, in the only authentic record of early times, that the oldest son of Adam was "a tiller of the ground;" and that Noah, immediately after the deluge, "became an husbandman, and planted a vineyard."
