Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Spiritual Forces in American History, 1899: A Sermon Preached at the Seventy-Third Annual Meeting of the Congregational Home Missionary Society, in Hartford, Conn;, May 23, 1899 Sermon preached for the Seventy-third Anniversary of the Congregational Home Missionary Society, Hartford, Conn., By President John Henry Barrows. D.D..of Oberlin College, May 23rd 1899. Text - John 6:63: "It is the Spirit that quiefceneth." No deeper words were ever spoken by our Lord. They touch the roots of individual and social life. We may well consider them at this Missionary Anniversary, for they express the fundamental principles of all our effort. In the belief that it is the Spirit only that giveth life, that the forces of Christian Faith, Hope and Love are essential to personal and national well-being, this Home Missionary organization has carried on its fruitful work for nearly three-quarters of a century, touching with divine vitality the ever-expanding domain of the Republic. It is this truth that has burned in the souls of those Christian men and women who have followed our civilization in its majestic march to the Pacific. In the light of it we may well review the victories of the past, study the problems and perils of to-day, and peer into the future with a wise, unfaltering Faith. From the beginning, American Christianity has given the supreme place to spiritual forces, in the conviction that man´s foremost need is the renewal of his nature by the spirit of God. The largest influence in our national life has been the Christian teaching and temper, which have lead the churches to seek, first of all, the regeneration of the human soul and the upbuilding of noble character after the pattern of Christ. On the continent of Europe the effort by Church and State is to govern and educate men from without. It is by submission, by discipline, by intellectual skill, by institutions, that men arc to be fitted to become servants of the State. The Puritan idea has always gone deeper. The Puritan purpose has ever been to reach and renew the soul. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
