Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lessons From the Life and Death of a Good Ruler It is seldom that a great nation is called to the throne of God under circumstances more solemn than those of to-day. Nay, since time had its origin, there never was such a spectacle as the uplifted features of our continent - might I not say of all the continents? - present to Heaven to-day. It is the spectacle of a world acknowledging and adoring its almighty Monarch! It is the spectacle of subdued humanity! It is pride wearing sackcloth, while God wears the crown! It is haughty man humbled; vain-boasting man subdued; ambitious man checked; the so-called lord of creation made to feel that he is but dust; and God, sovereign and supreme, recognized on the throne, and holding the reins of the universe! Ah, this a solemn scene in the magnificent drama of the eternal and universal empire! It is a solemn day. too, in the history of the human race. Not since man had his origin, has mankind had such impressive surroundings. War´s long, protracted, and bloody carnival is over. The grim monster´s voice, trained to most startling loudness for four terrible years, is hushed. Reeking with bloody and ferocious aspect, he stands among us, but his occupation is gone. The sword is sheathed. The battle-flag is furled. The cannon and the drum no more respond to his behests. A continent rocked to and fro under his martial tramp, but the alarming vibrations have ceased. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
