Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems on the Thirty-Three Miracles of Our Lord The century fast passing away has been one of vast activity in missionary movements throughout the world. In the same great ratio has been the increase of the circulation of the sacred books of Holy Scripture; wherefore authors, philosophers, and statesmen should draw their themes and illustrations more from these Great Thesauri of truths, since they can be so easily applied by those versed in the Bible, as can be shown in a single instance. When Doctor Franklin was sent minister to France, he was invited by a French nobleman to dine in company with the English embassador. As they were taking a glass of wine after dinner it was suggested each one should give a sentiment or toast. The Englishman led the way and gave: "George the Third, like the sun in his meridian glory, he is the admiration of the world." Then the French nobleman followed, and gave: "The Queen of France, like the moon in her bright path through the heavens, she enlightens and influences the earth." Now they thought Franklin must be in the shade. But Franklin, with great composure, took up his glass, and gave: "George Washington, like Joshua of old, he commands the Sun and the moon to stand still, and they obey him."
