Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thanksgiving in the Times of Civil War: Being a Discourse Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Troy, New York, Nov, 28th, 1861 Their correct notions of God, not less than the providence of God itself, had made them to differ from others. The nations of the world, with all their high attainments - their philosophy and refinement - their progress in the arts of peace, and their skill and achievements in war, were blind idolaters. They had not formed the first conception of an infinite, personal, and spiritual God. Their deities were "dumb idols." They were not unfrequently material images in the form of men, - "silver and gold" and the like, and frequently of far baser materials. And while they were furnished with human organs, and were received and worshiped as gods, they exercised no powers of life or action. They were dumb, sightless, deaf, - and were devoid of the sense of smell and feeling. Their hands had no executive power, and their feet were incapable of locomotion. Such gods, and their makers and worshipers, formed a fit confraternity. "They that make them are like unto them; so is ever one that trusteth in them."
