Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from God´s Doings for the Nation: A Sermon Preached in the First Presbyterian Church, Greenwich, New Jersey, on the Day of National Thanksgiving, November 24th, 1864 "The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad." - Psalm 126:3. War still prevails in the land. Through another year it has pressed with heavy weight upon us. The fond hope, that ere this its insatiate appetite could have been filled, has not yet been realized. Our watching and waiting have not yet greeted the dawn of returning Peace. The year has been marked by a full measure of those desolating scenes which follow in the track of War. Fearful conflicts of arms have taken place. Many a bloody field has been made historic. Many a noble victim has fallen. Many a heart has been made sad. Many a home has been darkened. And "the end is not yet." Opposing hosts still confront each other in deadly array. Rebellion still lifts up its head and wears a defiant look; and with a no less firm and settled purpose, the Nation still goes forth to meet it, determined by God´s help to save its own life, to vindicate its just authority, to enforce its laws, and to crush the hideous monster. Our annual Thanksgiving comes in the midst of war. For the fourth time to-day is it thus. In former years we could celebrate the blessings of Peace, along with other good things of Gods giving; but in these last years, we have had our joyous festival marred by wars stern realities. Still there is occasion for thanksgiving. Days of humiliation may seem more fitting; the call for clothing ourselves in sackcloth and ashes may be loud and frequent; the most hopeful posture of the Nation may be that of the bowed suppliant crying to Heaven for mercy. But still there is a place for thanksgiving. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
