Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse Occasioned by the Death of Hon. Daniel Webster: Preached October 31, and Repeated November 14, 1852 Jer. xlviii, 17. - "All ye that are about Him Bemoan Him; and all ye that know His Name, say, how is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!" The word and providence of God are but different chapters in the same great volume, mutually explaining and enforcing each other. Rightly to understand either, we must study them both. To be unmindful of the important events which are transpiring under the government of God, is to be unmindful of God himself. In his more remarkable providences you see his hand, you hear his voice. God himself appears as the preacher and supersedes all other agency by his own majestic utterance. When God thus speaks, how becoming is it in us to give ear! Especially when he speaks in the ministration of death. Often as he passes before us in the exercise of this dread prerogative, he never does it without laying a new emphasis on his word, and enforcing the claims of his sovereignty. Death indeed, is a most familiar event, and seldom does it compel more than a passing regard. Yet is it always the same momentous change; never is it less than the voice of God, uttered in tones of impressive solemnity. Wherever, however, or on whomsoever it is executed, it speaks of judgment and eternity, and that, whether men will hear or forbear. But although death is the common lot of all, involving in every case, consequences of infinite moment, yet to the living it is more instructive in some instances than in others.
