Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon Preached on Fast Day: September 26, 1861 Judges XIX.30, - "And it was so, that all that saw it said, there was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day; Consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds." We are convened to-day by public authority. The President of the United States, and the Governor of our own Commonwealth, have united in the recommendation and request, that we should observe this day as a day of Prayer. They have but given voice to the general sentiment and desire of our people, who as a nation, feel in an unusual degree, the need and blessedness of the Divine favor. If we feel called upon to bow in supplication and penitence in time of private grief, much more shall we at time of wide spread and national sorrow. National calamity is a call to national humiliation. It needs no especial insight to see that as a people we are in the furnace of affliction; that as a people we are passing through the valley of the shadow of death. Though want and famine, desolation and pestilence, are not in our homes and in our streets, yet the very principles, that are the soul and life blood of our national being; that give value to houses, and lands, and life, are placed in jeopardy, and menaced with destruction. This is the meaning of the war now raging. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
