Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Old and the New: Or, Discourses and Proceedings at the Dedication of the Re-Modelled Unitarian Church in Charleston, S. C. On Sunday, April 2, 1854; Preceded by the Farewell Discourse Delivered in the Old Church, on Sunday, April 4, 1852; With Engravings of the Former And Yes, such is the inevitable decree. That which was once fresh, young, and new, sinks slowly and surely into mouldering decay. Although nature itself is endued with some principle of everlasting vigor, yet the productions of nature all seem to be subject to this great law of eternal variation and change. The mineral which we consume on our winter´s hearth, is but the relic of primeval forests, which once flourished in beauty and grandeur, perhaps for a thousand years. Every possible form of organization grows, flourishes, declines, dies. It seems as if the mighty, intelligent Source of life, who sits behind the veil, had declared to the material things he has created, "Ye may reveal and speak for a little while my existence, my wisdom, my power, my goodness, my beauty, my love - but ye shall not partake of mine eternal and unchanging essence." Man, as an organized being, constitutes no exception to this universal law. There is found to be an old age, decay, and extinction, even in nations and races of men, as well as in individuals. The works of man follow the same inflexible rule. There is observed many a loose and crumbling spot in the pyramids of Egypt themselves.
