Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon, Preached on the National Fast, May 14, 1841: Occasioned by the Death of William Henry Harrison The Lord´s voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. The observance of a day of fasting, prayer and humiliation before God, never unseasonable in a great nation that has sins to mourn over and repent of, is rendered at the present time peculiarly, and solemly appropriate, by that affecting dispensation of divine Providence, which has but recently thrown the pall of death over its capitol, awakened the whole nations sudden surprise, and gathered its mournful sympathies and serious thoughts around the prostrate form of its Chief Magistrate, - never in the whole period of our history has the God of providence spoken with such a loud, and solenm voice. The splendid pageantry of the Inauguration has scarcely passed away; the voice of festivity and rejoicing, that hailed the accession to Presidential honors, of the hero of its applause, has scarcely died upon the nation´s ear, before the hand of death is upon him, and he lies cold and breathless before the very shrine of his glory, and amid the very fragrance of a nations incense. How suddenly surprisingly, and solemnly changed! Who anticipated such an event a few brief months ago? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
