Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from War and Emancipation, Vol. 2: A Thanksgiving Sermon, Preached in the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., On Thursday, November 21, 1861 While he was yet roaring and striking at Sampson, there seemed very little likelihood of his finding a honeyed meal out of him; but if lions bravely slain yield such food, then let them become emblems! The bee signifies industry among all nations, and honey is the very ideal of sweetness. To-day war is upon us, a lion is on our path, but being bravely met, in its track shall industry settle, and we shall yet fetch honey from the carcase of war. You will not object then, if to-day I bring you honey from this lion´s body. At first, and to unhopeful souls, it would seem as if no day of thanksgiving ever was so sadly planted. Nor will I undertake to persuade you that there are no evils to bemoan. There are many; but the evils arc transient, superficial and vincible, - the benefits are permanent, radical, and multiplying. Not long ago we were a united nation. Our industry was bringing in riches as the tides of the ocean, and no man could imagine the manhood of a continent whose youth was so august. Now, a line of fire runs through our country from East to West, and more than half a million men confront each other with hostile arms!
