Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Light in Darkness: A Discourse Delivered in the Reformed Dutch Church, Stapleton, S. I., On Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1862 Thou, which hast showed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. - Ps. lxxi. 20. Under the pressure of a most terrible and portentous judgment, the Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth has appointed a Day of Thanksgiving to the Most High. The appointment is not unseasonable. Though dark and dense clouds are hovering over us, yet they are clouds in daytime ; the light of Divine Love is shining through them. But were it otherwise, why should we not lift up our hearts in unfeigned gratitude for numberless blessings, temporal and spiritual, which have been descending upon us every day, hour, and moment during the year? It is comely in Christians in everything to give thanks. We do well, however, to mingle fear with our praise ; to rejoice with trembling to-day. The country of which this State is a component part, is engaged in one of the direst and most disastrous wars known in human history. The existence of a nation of thirty millions of the most free, enterprising, and energetic people on the globe, is imperiled. Our future, which has been looming out so vastly before the world´s prospective eye, is at this moment seriously, awfully, at stake. The question of the improbability, if not the impossibility, of a happy issue, agitates profoundly the hearts of not a few : all of all parties are pondering with intensest interest the tendency and results of the colossal struggle. I propose to offer a few thoughts adapted to inspire hope. Perhaps I may be too sanguine. I shall endeavor not to forget this.
