Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Death of Daniel Webster: A Sermon, Delivered in the Warren Street Church, Sunday, November 14, 1852 "For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem, and from Judah, the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, the mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, the captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator." - Isaiah iii: 1, 2, 3. These fearfully prophetic words found their fulfillment when the king of Babylon carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths, so that none remained save the poorest sort of people of the land. After their great men were all removed, children became their princes, and babes ruled over them. From this prediction we learn, that in the estimation of the prophet, a true great man was one of the chief blessings of a nation; and that his removal was a serious national calamity. Equally just was his idea of greatness. According to his view, it was not confined to one station or engaged in one service.
