Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Commemoration Sermon: Preached in Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge, December 15, 1848 Yet do I remember the time past; I muse upon all thy works: yea, I exercise myself in the works of thy hands. It is a thing of much importance to men, and to associations of men as well, how they look upon the life and history through which the providence of God has led them. They may so look at it as to make it a drag on the wheels of present action, or, again, so that it shall rather be a stimulus to action more vigorous: empty self-complacency must be deadening and profitless; so too may be uncalled for shame. The past gives us its lessons and its directions for our future road: but to read them we need to look at it with unwarped and true-seeing eye, because we ourselves are formed what we are by that our past history, and the lessons we draw, to apply and fit to us thus formed, must be true impressions and transcripts of it.
