Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from How to Renew Our National Strength: A Sermon Preached in Christ Church, Savannah, on Friday, November 15th, 1861, Being the Day of Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer, Appointed by the President of the Confederate States The President of the Confederate States having issued his proclamation appointing Friday, Nov. 15th, as a Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer, and inviting all the citizens of the Confederate States to unite on that day in imploring the blessings of Almighty God upon our arms, that He may give us victory over our enemies, and preserve our homes and altars from pollution, and secure to us the restoration of peace and prosperity - Now, therefore. I, Stephen Elliott, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Georgia, do direct the clergy of said Diocese to assemble their congregations upon that day, and to keep the Fast in all humility of mind and spirit. Upon the occasion of the Fast the clergy will use the following service: Morning prayer as usual to the Psalter. Psalms for the day - 27th, 77th, 130th. 1st Lesson - Isaiah, chapter XL. 2d Lesson - Romans, chapter XII. Use the Lesser Litany. Immediately before the General Thanksgiving introduce the confession which precedes the Epistle in the service for Ash Wednesday, and the following Prayer: "O Lord God, that dwellest in the Heavens and who reignest over all the kingdoms of men, we praise and bless Thy name that, in our troubles and perils, Thou hast stood on our side and pleaded for us against them that rose up against us. It was Thy hand, O Lord, and the help of Thy mercy that relieved us. Thou, O Lord, didst blast the designs of our enemies with the breath of Thy displeasure, and to Thee we ascribe the praise and honor of our present safety. Perpetuate Thy mercies to us; let a guard of Holy Angels stand round about us and about all Thy people, like the hills, for our defence and safety, that we may be inaccessible by all the attempts of our enemies. Let us receive the blessings which our Lord Jesus Christ left unto His Church, even the peace of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, to whom be all honor and glory, now and forever." Amen. Given under my hand, this November 11th, A. D. 1861. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
