Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lights Which God Hath Shewed Us: A Thanksgiving Discourse, Delivered Nov; 28, 1861; In the West Spruce Street Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia Once more, a voice from the Executive of our commonwealth has reminded us of the relations subsisting between the Church and the State. Society has two grand departments of interest, the sacred, and the secular. Over these, God has ordained two agencies, the Church, the custodian of religious truth and instructor of men therein, and the State, for the protection of those who do well, and for the restraint and punishment of transgressors. Both are ordained of God. The apostle, no more truly than the magistrate is the "minister of God." (Rom. xiii: 1-4.) The specific duties allotted to the one are, of course, quite different from those allotted to the other, and yet Church and State are twin sisters, both contributing to the same general results. Like sunshine and shower, the one is not the other, yet both concur in bringing on the harvest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
