Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from A Sermon Preached in Merrimack, N. H., April 16, 1865: In the First Congregational Church, on the Occasion of the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln Touch no pleasant meat, neither drink any rejoicing drink. Ye children, begotten of a long and cruel bondage, just born to freedoms manhood, gather ye close around your Heavenly Father, and breathe out your woes into his compassionate ear. Freemen and bondmen mourn and weep. "Oh, God, thou givest us tears to drink in great measure" - "How marvelous are thy judgments, and thy ways past finding out." I scarcely feel like speaking, or you like hearing to-day. The sobs of the spirit stifle the living voice. The tears of the soul are hot within the heart, and the fountain of feeling is choked up with our heavy sorrow. Men turn pale in the street; women cry out in anguish in our homes; children weep as for a dying father. As the mournful tidings fly tremblingly through the Land, the nation´s heart, stunned, palsied by the blow, almost ceases to beat! One great, swelling cry goes up to God, who sends back his strengthening, comforting word, "The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." These words, which were used in the last inaugural address of our lamented Chief Magistrate, are a mighty cable, holding our anchor of hope, fast and firmly grounded in the goodness and wisdom of God. "The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer: my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower." The crime that has plunged the nation into a sea of sorsow, can hardly be paralleled in all history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
