Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Peace-Makers: A Sermon Preached in the Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, on Sunday, April 9, 1865, Appointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania as a Day of Thanksgiving for the Recent Victories of the National Forces in Virginia It imbibes no coloring from surrounding objects. It sways not an iota to the tides of human interest and passion. The turbulent billows of strife and violence break over it; but it stands firm like a granite rock amidst the waves of the sea. In cloud and in sunshine, in peace and in war, it speaks in the same calm, clear, authoritative tone, uttering the same immortal truths, and challenging, under penalty of anathema, the paramount and reverential attention of every human being. For "the word of the Lord endureth forever." If this be so, then there can be no real incongruity between the benediction before us, and the times which are passing over us; that is to say, this benediction, true at all times, must be true now; and, suited to all seasons, must be suited to the present. "Blessed are the peace-makers, for They shall be called the Children of God." I would not have you infer from these remarks that I design to treat this passage exclusively in its adaptation to our public affairs. This is not my purpose: albeit I shall not decline that use of it altogether. It has a lesson for all periods and for all persons. The crowd that first listened to these words was composed of Jews.
