Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourse Preached on Thanksgiving Day: In the Beneficent Congregational Meeting-House, Providence, July 21, 1842 Job v: 8, 9, 12, 13. I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause; which doth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. We are assembled this day in the house of God, by direction of the chief magistrate of the State, in compliance with a resolution of the Legislature, "to confess before the living God cur sins as a people; and with warm and contrite hearts, sincerely offer up to the Father of all mercies our deep and unaffected thanksgiving, for the signal interposition of his kind and fatherly love so recently and strikingly manifested in rescuing us from the horrors of civil war, anarchy and death: and to beseech Him to impress this whole people with an active and abiding reverence for His holy laws, and that they may be enabled through the mercy of Jesus Christ to live in the daily recognition of the great and solemn truth, that they are all hastening to a final and eternal retribution." This resolution, so well expressed, falls in with the sentiments of a large portion of this community. We have passed through a scene of peculiar trial and danger - we have been mercifully preserved; and it meets my views, already given on another occasion, that we should publicly express our thanksgiving for the divine interposition. If there are others who have different views, I have no reproaches to cast. So far as this difference is owing to political sentiments, I shall have no controversy with them. I never interfere in politics; it is only to be regretted that political opinions have been permitted to bias many minds in judging of the wicked course of men who have committed the high crime of treason against the State.
