Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Contribution of the Anglo-Saxon Church in the Making of the Republic: A Sermon Before the Colonial Dames in the Bethlehem Chapel of the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, Washington, Sunday, May 5, 1912 "And Joshua said unto all the people... choose you this day whom ye will serve,... but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua XXXIV part of vv. 2 and 15 There is scarce a finer scene in history than that which this chapter presents of the great Hebrew hero and captain standing under the oak in Shechem and giving his Farewell Address to the twelve tribes whom he had led across the Jordan, and, after many hard-fought battles, securely established in the Land of Promise. He was "old and stricken in age," and he felt that the time was near when he would be gathered to his fathers; but one more blow the great soldier and patriot and father of his country would strike in the holy cause to which he had devoted his life, before he sheathed his sword forever. And so summoning all Israel, he challenges them to put away their strange Gods and serve Jehovah alone: "Choose you tins day," he cries, "whom ye will serve,. but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Thus did Joshua, the idolized hero and saviour of Israel, throw the whole weight of his illustrious example into the scale on the side of Revealed Religion. He never rendered a greater service to his people than in that act. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
