Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Conditions of Peace: A Discourse Delivered in the West Church: In Memory of David Kimball Hobart, June 14, 1863 "Peace!" How few words fall on the ear so sweetly! Peace was the song of angels; peace is the benediction of God; peace is the perfection of the soul; peace is the prosperity of the State; peace is heaven, and peace on earth our daily prayer. All war is by many pronounced unchristian; but there never teas a had peace, cried a good man in horror at the woes of conflict now in our land. Military as is the popular resolution, there is among us a peace-party, with one wing of sentiment moving quietly, and another of policy flapping noisily; so that the body revolves without going forward. For peace, with all its beauty for lofty souls, followers of Jesus of every name and age, is not a principle, as peace-men would have it, but a result. It is not an absolute grace or virtue, like love, piety, or veracity, but has conditions profounder than itself. It is a building, whose foundation must be looked to.
