Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Sabbath Schools and Citizens of Georgetown, at Their Anniversary Celebration Held in Boyce´s Grove, on Monday, July 5th, 1847 This joyful anniversary has again assembled us together to exchange i felicitations and to mingle our orisons to the Giver of those blessings of which the occasion is a remembrancer. We have come up in solemn pageant to the great temple of nature - our incense, the spontaneous emotion of gratitude - our choir music, the symphonies of nature´s hundred i tongues. We have come to linger upon names redolent of merit, and to accord our humble tribute to men who grace the proudest gallery of portraits that old Time has gathered to his treasures. We have come to rekindle that holy flame which, smouldering amid the selfish cares of every day life, leaps forth at the magic sound "our country," while discordant hearts are spelled to harmony, and, dropping the petty animosities of yesterday, men wear the holiday garb of patriotism and distinguishing charity. Oh! on this day of jubilee, what an electric current circles through the great heart of our country, stirring up the warm blood of youth, quickening the calmer pulse of age, deepening the flush on beauty´s cheek and manhood´s brow, and animating even the pulseless worshippers of mammon, with a thrilling sense of the sweets of liberty. With the old, the burial places of memory yield up their dead, and as the panorama of events goes in review before them, they join with swelling hearts in the glad acclaim arising from a thousand vallies where once solitude held unbroken sabbath. The young read in the times auspices of a glorious to-come, while in fancy they sketch their own paths bordered with flowers, arched with dreams, and peopled with bright, beckoning forms. And on a day like this, it becomes us, one and all, to escape from the narrow present, and as well to study the stern and bright realities of the past, as to look with interest for the pregnant issues of the future. We turn from the one, full of glory and encouragement, to find the other rich in promise of prosperity. We linger in the flood from sunsets golden urns, and turn to hail a dawn red with scintillant harbingers of rising glories.
