Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration: Delivered by Appointment of the Committees of the Corporation, and the Several Civic and Military Societies, of the City of Albany, at the Methodist Episcopal Church in North Pearl Street: In Commemoration of American Independence: July Forth, 1839 "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy," the burthen of that celestial song was the freedom of mankind. Well indeed then might the vaults of Heaven resound with the shout of triumph and of exultation, when the seal of redemption was to be set upon the human race, and the celestial spirit of liberty was to descend upon the earth in the person and companionship of the Son of God. This is no fiction of a poetic imagination, but a sober reality. Man was made a slave by the fall of Adam, and became free by the blood of Christ, and by that alone: Nor was the freedom, for the birth of which, when sung in heavenly strains, "the sons of God shouted for joy," a spiritual freedom only: It was, at the same time, the harbinger and the principle of moral and political regeneration; the harbinger of all the pure and innocent joys that spring from human existence, human society, and human skill or labor; all the blessings that flow from communion with God; all the rights and privileges of self-government; all the delights of love and friendship; all the pleasures of intellectual intercourse and enjoyment: And, in short, all the harmonies of Nature, which bind man to man, which fill up the measure of his happiness, and constitute the climax of his glory.
