Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Union and Slavery: A Thanksgiving Sermon, Delivered in the Presbyterian Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, November 28th, 1850 Psalm xcvii, I. "The Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice, let the multitude of the isles be glad thereof." All holy beings in the universe rejoice in the reign of God. I heard a great voice in heaven of much people, saying, Alleluia, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth, and hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. That which causes joy and praise throughout all the ranks of holy beings in heaven, should be a source of joy to all the inhabitants of the earth. This would, doubtless, be the case but for the entrance of sin into our world. But, sad as the reflection may be, the reign of God is not a source of gratitude to all the inhabitants of the earth, it is the christian alone who rejoices in the divine administration. The great mass of mankind look upon the government of God as stern, severe, and arbitrary, and would rather rejoice to be certain that no God had to do with the affairs of men, that no omniscient eye watched over them, that God could be banished from the throne of the universe, and they permitted to follow their own-devices without any reference to the judgment seat of Christ. We rejoice that the Governor of our State, in common with the Governors of several other States, has recognized the government of God, and issued a proclamation for a day of Thanksgiving throughout this commonwealth. In compliance with this recommendation, and in accordance with our most excellent and venerable standards, we observe this day, as a day of thanksgiving. It has ever been a most prominent and leading trait in the character and history of the Presbyterian Church, that it has been a law-abiding church.
