Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Baccalaureate Sermons: President M. Woolsey Stryker to the Graduating Class of Hamilton College, 1893-1905 The Letter to the Hebrews was both an argument and an appeal. With its array of fact and its august consolations, there blended an unfaltering and personal trust in God. That confidence in and commitment to Him is of the very essence of true religion. Religion is either the fulfilment of a real relationship, or it is a fond dream. The spirit of constancy is so sustained and illuminative thro this whole writing as to make it, concerning faith, the classical source both of definition and instance. Not in any special phase or exercise, but absolute and generic, faith is affirmed as the basis of life and the warrant of all rational hope. The book deals with the apparent vicissitudes of an ever-moving process, and at the same time with the consistency and constancy of Him who guides this, - mutability and the Immutable. By broad retrospect it would prepare men to recognize and meet ungrievingly the disciplines of change. At the eleventh chapter the argument proper culminates with the resonant citation of preeminent believers. Certain of the venerable roll are named, souls of altitude, and classes are summoned, of those who having won their rest, make up the celestial part of that holy alliance and comradeship in which all souls are one who love and seek the will of God. "Compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses" - they who were once the spectacle and who now are the spectators - we have the tremendous appeal increased. The clenching thought is that these veterans are to have their work perfected in those things provided for later days and riper faith.
