Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Historical Discourse: Delivered in the Presbyterian Church of Upper Buffalo Deut., 8th chap., 2d verse: And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness. These words were, at first, addressed to the children of Israel, in view of the close of their journey from Egypt to the Land of Promise. They had then time for reflection upon it, in its various windings, and in the great and numerous dangers through which they had been brought in safety. And they were required to employ it in this way. The life of the Christian is a journey. It extends from the time of his conversion to that of his death, and leads from earth to heaven. What was then true of the children of Israel, and is now true of the Christian, is also true of the Church. She is journeying from her militant to her triumphant state. God is the Leader of his church and people. He leads them wisely, kindly, correctly, and safely. He leads, moreover, in the way prescribed in his Word - pointed out by his ministering servants - opened up by the developments of His providence, and discovered to us by the illuminating influences of His spirit. The duty here enjoined upon us, in reference to this way, is, that we remember it. This we are to do by devoutly thinking and speaking of it, and by committing an account of it to writing. Let us now endeavor to discharge this duty, by calling to mind the way in which the Lord has led this church, with special reference to the last twenty-six years. It is but ninety-two years since this region of country was the property and home of uncultivated and barbarous savages, who claimed its exclusive occupancy. The tomahawk and scalping-knife were employed to exclude and repel the white man from the soil. In A. D. 1768, ninety-two years ago, the proper authorities of the colony of Pennsylvania purchased from the Indians all the territory extending westward to the Ohio and Allegheny rivers.
