Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences of the Life and Times of Gardiner Spring, Vol. 1: Pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church, in the City of New York Adam Ferguson, in his "Essay on the History of Civil Society," relates an anecdote, the spirit of which was the first impulse to the present volume. "It is said of Spinola, a famous commander in the service of Spain, in the sixteenth century, on being told that Sir Francis De Vere, who served under Leicester in the expedition to Holland, died of having nothing to do, replied ´that was enough to Mil a general."´ Nature, not less in the intellectual and moral than the physical world, "abhors a vacuum." I have never aimed at cessation from labor, but rather at incentives to action. While I retain my relation as the senior pastor of the church whose pulpit I have been permitted so long to occupy, I have, at my own request, been released from the more weighty responsibilities of the pulpit and the pastorate, and am exposed to the depression of having nothing to do. Fourscore years of my pilgrimage have passed away: not without many a struggle I have, for the most part, relinquished a ministry which has been my joy, and am disposed to feel that my work is done.
