Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Morality of the Riot: Sermon of Rev. O. B. Frothingham, at Ebbitt Hall, Sunday, July 19, 1863 "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." - Luke xxiii., 34. In recalling the frightful scenes of the past week - our New York Reign of Terror - scenes happily passed, and now to be as quickly as possible forgotten, as soon as the lesson of them is learned - these words of Jesus come again and again to my mind, and give the only key that opens their whole meaning. All through the week they were in my thoughts. They would not be drowned by words of fear or words of vengeance. The faint, sweet voice which spoke them from the cross was louder in ray ear than the clamors of the populace, the cries of the citizens, the rattle of the musketry, or the boom of cannon. In that ancient City of Jerusalem there was one week of riot. It was instigated and conducted, for their own political ends, by men who called themselves the eminent friends of government, of order and of law. The leaders and abettor of it were the Pharisees, the party of prerogative, and who called themselves the high representatives of the national idea and constitutional authority. The rough material that composed it was the misguided mass of the people; its victim was the child, the friend, the benefactor, the Savior of the people.
