Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon: Preached Before the First Church and the Edwards Church, Northampton, on the Late Fast, Sept 1, 1837 Thus saith the Lord, stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. Jeremiah, 6: 16. I Will not take up the time to describe the condition of the Jewish people at the time these words were addressed to them. They were in a state of great degeneracy; and were under the frown of God. The ´old paths´ which they were commanded to inquire after, were the commands and ordinances of God, - which they had in the scriptures, and in which their pious ancestors had walked. It was their wisdom and duty to return to those paths. In doing so, they were assured that they should ´find rest for their souls:´ - they should be saved from the calamities they then suffered, and from those which were to come; but neglecting to do so, they were threatened with the severest desolations. I conceive, my hearers, that we, as a people, are in circumstances not dissimilar to those of the Jews; and that we are distinctly called on to do the same thing. It is but too evident that this whole nation has declined greatly from the ways of God. And we are under rebuke and chastisement for our sins. The state of our country is melancholy, in many respects. All our great interests, civil, commercial, agricultural, and religious, are embarrassed; and our prospects dark. And if it be asked, why these clouds are over us? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
