Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Light in the Clouds: A Thanksgiving Discourse, Delivered Before the United Congregations of the Reformed Dutch, First Presbyterian and Westminster Churches of Utica, N. Y., November 27, 1862, in the Reformed Dutch Church And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds; but the wind passeth and cleanseth them. Fair weather cometh out of the north. The picture before us in the opening of this passage is one of gloom. The sky is curtained with heavy vapors, the landscape is darkened, and people are everywhere chilled and depressed. And although the sun is shining upon the clouds, and perhaps an occasional beam of light pierces through and reaches the earth, no one seems to observe the token or to gather from it any hope. Before the day ends, however, the scene changes. The wind passeth over the clouds and cleanseth them, or cleareth them away. Fair weather, or as the Hebrew has it, a golden sky, appears in the north, rapidly enlarging till the remnants of mist that still linger along the horizon are wreathed into garlands to beautify the scene. Such a picture, in some respects at least, may serve to illustrate the condition of the public mind on the recurrence of this annual festival. In the language of the Proclamation which brings us together, it is "from the depths of National affliction" that we come "to own our dependence upon the Most High." And the year for which we are to-day to ofter thanks and praise, has been one "fraught with the heaviest sorrows," one to be "numbered among the dark periods of history," and one whose sad "record has been graven on many hearth-stones." It is a gloomy day for our land; and if there be any "bright light" in the clouds that hang over us, very many do not yet behold it. War is upon us in its most terrible form. And from the most opposite points of view, men are predicting that the contest will close as unhappily as it began.
