Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Improvement Era, Vol. 18 Far back in the days of Isaiah, when that gifted seer was viewing through his prophetic telescope the distant scenes which now are near to us, he uttered with a joyous heart these strains of glorious melody: "Awake, awake. Put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the Holy City;" and, then, turning from that scene of joy, he quotes the words which God himself proclaimed in sad, rebuking tones: My name continually every day is blasphemed. Young men of Zion, was it our Zion to whom these awakening words were sung? Was it modern Jerusalem, (starving, famine-ravished city that she is) now about to put on her beautiful garments? Was it us, of America, dear reader, upon whom that prophetic lens was focused with such convincing accuracy as to reveal, so far away, this awful sin of "continual blasphemy?" fear it is true. Whether or not we are the objects of Isaiah´s words, we - a number of us at least - are guilty of that awful sin. Take note of some evidence aginst us: For some time past the writer has been investigating this most impious habit of using the sacred name of Deity in our common talk. I asked one man if he had any idea of how many times he had profaned during a certain period. His own estimate was over five hundred times a day. To another habitual swearer, I put the question: "Now, Mr.______, you have been in nearly every state of the Union, working for many years among men of various classes, and I want to get your candid opinion on a question on which you can give me some ´expert testimony.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
