Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bible, the Rod, and Religion, in Common Schools: The Ark of God on a New Cart, a Sermon King David sent chosen men to bring the ark of God from its resting place to Hebron. Positive legislation had been given by Jehovah in respect to the removal of that symbol of his presence. Uzzah and his associates took counsel of their own wisdom, and resolved to do the work of God in their own way. The ark was put upon a new cart, instead of being borne on the shoulders of the priests of God. On its passage, the ark jostled; Uzzah reached forth his hand to keep it steady. God smote him because he violated positive law, and he died before the ark. His motive may have been good, but a right thing must not be done in a wrong way. So this history, so all experience, teach. All men are sinners; the results of a depraved nature are daily developed. To purify men, to roll back the flood of guilt, to elevate our race, has been the desire of many hearts. Some lean upon Divine Wisdom; many philanthropists lean on their own, and in their opinion, superior wisdom. Much has been attempted during the past twelve years, and little done. Indeed, society is - like the woman in the gospel who, after a sickness of twelve years, had spent all her living, - "no better, but rather the worse." The increase of crime, of all forms and degrees, is apparent and alarming. 1. Crime is on the increase. 1. This is seen in Sabbath desecration. It is more bold; in it there is more of defiance than usual. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
