Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Evangelical Ministry, the Security of a Nation: A Sermon, Preached in Behalf of the American Home Missionary Society, in the Bleecker Street Church, New York, January 2, 1848 Thus, is every God-fearing man in our world, a living illustration, and a standing, unanswerable proof of the sentiment of my text, that "the people who do know their God shall be strong." But if the doctrine of my text, in this relation, admits of no dispute, am I treading upon questionable ground, when I affirm that the history of nations as such, will furnish its no less clear and convincing illustrations 1 What is true of men as individuals, must be true of the same men as members of the social compact. The distinction between organic and individual life, if indeed there is any distinction, is certainly too transcendental to be used for any practical purpose. We can hardly conceive of a community, separate from the individuals who compose it, and I shall not be called upon to prove, that when individual life ceases universally, organic life must be extinct. So we cannot separate national character from the character of those who go to make up the nation. Paralyze the industry of men as individuals, and you dry up the resources of the community - depress the tone of morals universally, and you have a wide-spread scene of national degeneracy; and whatever influence predominates, so as to regulate the feelings, aims and pursuits of men, must determine the organic character of the nation to which they belong.
