Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Plea for Africa: A Sermon Delivered at Bennet Street Church, in Behalf of the American Colonization Society, July 4, 1830 Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. Ps. lxviii. 31. The rise and fall of nations are sublime subjects for moral contemplation. The fabric of empire is composed of mind as well as matter; and when the revolutions of destiny are permitted by Providence to encroach on nations, and resolve them into their original elements, the component parts still inherit the principles of vitality. Like those blocks of living marble dug up from Grecian ruins, these scattered fragments may be collected in some future day to build a nobler temple of dominion. History warns the powerful to tread lightly on the oppressed. Let armies as countless as the locusts which overspread Egypt in the day of Gods anger, pass over any given territory, tracing their march with the wildest havoc, and sweeping the bare soil to its very dust with the desolating cannon, still let not the oppressors triumph.
