Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermon: Preached in the Pine Street Church, Boston, on Sunday, June 22, 1856 You will bear me witness that, while I have never made any concealment of my deep convictions of the essential wickedness of American Slavery, and the danger to be apprehended from its continued existence and influence, I have not been in the habit of obtruding those convictions upon you; - have, indeed, almost never made them the distinct and elaborate subject of pulpit discourse. To-day, I must speak. And I know that you will patiently hear. I have delayed what I have to say, purposely, until the immediate fervor of feeling, excited by recent unexampled and infamous occurrences, has had time to subside into the calmer and deliberate inquiry, what those occurrences, and the underlying purpose which they express, demand, in the way of action, at our hands. And now, let no man suppose that I am about to preach a "political" discourse. Nothing is further from my intention. I am about to preach The Gospel - as I understand it, and as I believe Christ understands it - in its simple and practical application to the actual, alarming state of things, now existing among us. If the Bible is "a light that shineth in a dark place," then the Bible must have something for the illumination of our present gloom.
