Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse Occasioned by the Death of Abraham Lincoln: President of the United States of America; Who Was Assassinated in Washington, Friday, April 14th, 1865, Preached in the Park Street Church, Boston, on the Next Lord´s Day When, three days ago, the morning of the day appointed for fasting, humiliation, and prayer, rose upon a people jubilant with the joy of victory, many felt that both the designation of the day and the accustomed manner of its observance should be changed; that, instead of fasting, there should be feasting, instead of humiliation and supplication, thanksgiving and praise. But some of us remembered, and we called it to mind, that the chief intent of the day, as our fathers kept it, was prospective. It did not look backward with penitential review, so much as it looked forward with forecasting deprecation to possible evils. The day was appointed in the spring season, when the great venture of the harvest was at hazard, and all the uncertainties of elemental blight and blessing hung poised in the scales of Providence.
