Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse Our Governor, in a proclamation which does him honour as a Christian ruler, calls upon us to honour the example of our Forefathers and to seek "the good which may be derived from consecrating a secular day to meditation and the humbling ourselves together before the Lord," by observing this day as a day of Public Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer. The need of Humiliation, public and private, of Fasting in the old prophetic sense, of Prayer far more earnest, deep and vital than is common among us, I certainly shall be the last to question. For, to use an old expression, but which is not altogether true, "we have fallen upon evil days"; "judgment is turned away backward and justice standeth afar off; truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter." We live in the days when men "decree unrighteous decrees," and "write grievousness which they have prescribed, to turn aside the needy for judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless." We live to feel a new and dreadful illustration of Jeremiahs mournful words: "Oh that mine head were waters and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people. Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
