Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from National Thanksgiving; A Sermon: Preached in the First Presbyterian Church of Cranbury, New Jersey, on November 26, 1863 Psalm CXLV. 7. "They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness." I Welcome you all into the courts of the Lord´s house to-day, with peculiar satisfaction, to respond to the President´s call to thanksgiving. The seasons have now yielded their increase; the blessings of health have been largely enjoyed; the quiet of our homes has not been disturbed by the hand of violence; the sanctuary has been open to all, and the priceless blessings of the gospel have been within the reach of all; and it is meet that we should appear before the Lord with praise. A more appropriate season could not be suggested, and no exercise more delightful could call us together. No officer has authority to appoint such a day as this; much less, power to enforce its observance. But custom and the fitness of things have assigned the pleasing duty of naming such a day to the highest civil officer. And hitherto this duty has been performed by the Governors of various States, until "Thanksgiving" had approached the character of a national day. It needed only the call of the highest officer of the land to make it national. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
