Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Advantages of Moderation, a Sermon: Delivered at Pelham, N. H. August 20, 1812, a Day of National Humiliation, Recommended by the President, at the Request The gospel breathes a benevolent, pacific spirit. It proclaims peace on earth, good will to men. Let its spirit be imbibed, and its precepts be obeyed, universally; then strife and contention, war and bloodshed would cease. Man would no longer be foe to man; nor be employed in spreading distress, and misery, and death among his fellow creatures. But the law of love would rule in every heart; the law of kindness be on every tongue; to save, not to destroy men, would be the grand pursuit. All would comply with the golden rule - Whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Prosperity and peace would every where abound. We should have new heavens and a new earth. But, alas! what different scenes do we behold. What a sinful, wretched place is this earth? Among those, who are most highly favored with blessings and privileges, temporal and spiritual, is seen most awful wickedness; so that the language of the Prophet is very natural and pertinent: Oh that my 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 way-taring men, that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies; but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord." Thus did Jeremiah lament his situation among the people of Judah, in time of great declension and calamity. O that no others had reason to adopt, in any measure, his language. In a day like the present, every thoughtful mind must be anxious to know the path of duty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
