Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse: Delivered on the National Fast Day, September 26, 1861, in Spring Street Church, New York "Show My People their Trangression." - Isaiah lviii. 1. In accordance with the proclamation of the President of the United States, first recommended by both Houses of Congress, and since concurred in by the Governor of the State, and the Mayor of the City, we have met to observe this day as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer. We are to observe the day with religious solemnity, sorrowful remembrance of our faults as a nation and as individuals, and the offering of fervent supplications to Almighty God for the safety and welfare of these States, for His blessing on our arms, and for the re-establishment of law, order and peace. Fasting is a natural concomitant and expression of mourning. The heart heavy with grief "forgets to take bread." Hence fasting is always conjoined in Scripture with penitential sorrow, whether that sorrow be spontaneous or divinely commanded. The outward signs are of value only as the exponent or heightener of the discomfort within. "By the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better;" hence the prophet calls such a day "a day for a man to afflict his soul."
