Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Stay and the Staff Taken Away: A Sermon Preached at the Church in Brattle Square After ages of experience, with the recorded study and conjecture of untold generations before them, men are not agreed as to some of the first principles of their association in civil communities. Contradictory theories are urged and advocated; legislation appears to be only a series of experiments and government a continued struggle; and if men fall into their proper places, and communities are on the whole orderly and happy, it seems to be evidently owing, not so much to the influence of civil institutions, or the operations of reason and conscience, as to the hand of God guiding men´s movements through the instinctive tendencies of their nature. We behold a vast multitude whom no man can number. Their voice is like the sound of many waters. Their movement like the deep roll of mighty thunderings. They are perpetually changing, yet forever the same. The race faints not amid the ruin of its members. Death is continually striking, but his blows make no permanent blanks, leave no lasting tokens of bereavement in society. As individuals the people are dust, as a body they are lasting as time. By the commingling of youth with age, a perpetual infusion of new life preserves the vitality, the even temperature, and the cheerfulness of society. As the human frame is constantly changing its particles but preserving its identity by something not subject to the laws of matter, so society is constantly changing its members, but preserving its identity. It is another, and yet the same. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
