Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermon in Commemoration of the Virtues of Abraham Lincoln: Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Meadville, Pa;, June 1, 1865 "Be still, and know that I am God! I will be exalted among the heathen, (nations,) I will be exalted in the earth." - Psalm XLVI: 10. "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth." - Psalm LXXXIII: 18. A little more than four years ago, or on the 11th day of February, 1861, a man of plain, unassuming manners, comparatively little known outside a limited circle of acquaintances, left his home in the capital city of a Western State to go to Washington, our National Capitol, to take the oath, and assume the duties of President of the United States - to which office he had been elected on the 2nd Tuesday of the previous November, in conformity with the terms of the National Constitution. To many of his own countrymen even, it is probable the name of Abraham Lincoln was unknown until he who bare it was presented to the American people as a candidate for the high office to which he was subsequently elected. Circumstances, however, had brought him into the favorable notice of not a few men of good judgment and discernment. His nomination was, without doubt, a surprise to most persons even of the political party to which he belonged, and of dissatisfaction to a large number. The early history of Abraham Lincoln is too well known to make it necessary we should narrate it here. All know he was born to poverty, spent his youth in laboring with his own hands, by honest industry procuring means of support and of acquiring an education which he himself said was "defective." He was emphatically what we call a "self made man." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
