Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Peril of Our Ship of State: A Sermon on the Day of Fasting and Prayer, January 4th, 1861 "And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground." - Acts 27 :41. This chapter contains an account of Paul´s shipwreck on his voyage to Rome. In consequence of his want of confidence in the integrity of Festus, the Roman governor, before whom he was brought, at Cæsarea, a prisoner, by the accusations of the Jews, he availed himself of the privilege of a Roman citizen, to appeal unto Cæsar. This appeal at once removed his cause from Festus´ jurisdiction, where he had no prospect of a fair trial, to the imperial city itself, far away from the influence of the prejudice and bribery of his sworn enemies. It was incumbent on the civil authorities to send Paul thither at their own expense, and as he had long desired to see Rome, but had no means of getting there, he rejoiced in the privilege of a free passage, though be went in the ignominious character of a state prisoner. The company embarked from Cæsarea, and arrived safe in Myra, where an Egyptian vessel from Alexandria was ready to start for Italy. On board this ship which, from circumstances detailed, might have been one thousand tons burden, Paul and his fellow-prisoners were placed; and, as it was an unfavorable season of the year for sailing, they experienced heavy sufferings through a violent and continuous storm. "Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, Paul admonished them, and said unto them. Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
