Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Series of Tracts on the Doctrines, Order, and Polity of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, Vol. 10: Embracing Several on Practical Subjects In the autumn of the year 18 - I was ordered to join my regiment. The company to which I was attached was, at that time, stationed at a retired post, which had been temporarily occupied, on the shore of one of our northern lakes. The quiet of the little village, and the monotony of garrison life, were broken twice each day by the passing steamer, which touched for a few minutes at the dock. The rest of the day almost unbroken silence prevailed. The various hues of the autumn leaves, and the low, solemn murmur of the sluggish waves of the lake breaking on the shore, gave a tinge of melancholy to the scene, which was well calculated to give rise to sober and serious thoughts. There was no church within eight miles of the place. At the nearest house of worship the officers of the company frequently attended, but the private soldiers seldom enjoyed, and did not desire to enjoy, any of the ordinary means of grace. Occasionally, however, a sermon was preached in the village school-house; sometimes by the godly man who ministered in the church above mentioned, and sometimes by an itinerant Methodist preacher. I knew but little at that time of the men who composed the company. Some of them, however, seemed to be sober, quiet and well disposed, though the great majority were wild and reckless, knowing no greater earthly enjoyment than could be drawn from the intoxicating cup.
