Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration on the Life, Character and Services of John Caldwell Calhoun: Delivered on the 21st Nov;, 1850, in Charleston, S. C., At the Request of the City Council Faith is an instinct of the human heart. Its strongest, its purest and its noblest instinct - the parent of love and of hope. In all ages and every where, mankind have acknowledged, adored and put their trust in the great Creator and Ruler of the Universe. And d sending from the invisible and infinite, to the visible and finite, they have entertained the same sentiments, differing only, in degree, for those of their own species, who have received from heaven an extraordinary endowment of intellect and virtue. The Ancient Heathen deified them. By the early Christians they were enrolled among the Saints. It is a shallow and a base philosophy which can see superstition only, in such customs, and fails to recognize the workings of a profound veneration for the attributes of Cod, as manifested through his favorite Creations. A better knowledge of the bounds which separate the natural from the supernatural, has taught us in our day to limit our homage, but still it is a deep and pure wisdom which counsels us to submit ourselves, in no grudging spirit, to the guidance of those great blinds that have been appointed to shed light and truth upon the world. To the honor and praise of South-Carolina it may be said that she has always recognized her prophets and believed their inspiration.
