Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sword of the Lord: A Sermon Preached in the House of Prayer, Newark, New Jersey, on Thursday, September 26, 1861, Being the National Fast Day The publication of this discourse is at the repeated request of friends in Newark and in Baltimore. The following is from the Newark Daily Advertiser, of September 27: An excitement occurred in the House of Prayer, (Episcopal) at the service on Fast Day. The officiating clergyman, Rev. Mr. Stharns, who has been temporarily supplying the place of Rev. Mr. Shackelford, in his discourse, pointedly justified the course of the South, and denounced the North. Several members of the congregation left the house, while others hissed, and the leading Vestryman demanded and procured the manuscript, which has been laid before the United States District Attorney. In a subsequent number of the same paper appeared the following rejoinder: To the Editor of the Newark Daily Advertiser: Allow me to correct two or three mistakes in the paragraph published on Friday, respecting what took place at the House of Prayer last Thursday. 1. The sermon was borrowed, and returned the next day; had it been demanded, it would not have been given up, except on compulsion. 2. The Senior Warden is a gentleman, and the manuscript did not pass out of his hands, nor was it even seen by any one but himself. 3. The copy taken by him, and which he had my permission to use in any way he thought best, may have been submitted to the District Attorney. If it was, he is too good a lawyer to have found anything in it requiring or justifying action on his part. There are some other inaccuracies, but I do not think it worth while to correct them.
