Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourse on the Death of Abraham Lincoln: Preached at the Presbyterian Church, Palmyra, N. Y., April 19th, 1865 The jot of our heart is ceased - our dance is turned into mourning. The crown is fallen from our head. Woe unto us that we have Sinned! For this our heart is faint - for these things our eyes are dim. - Lamentations 5: 15-17. The Bible is a wonderful book. It is God´s book and man´s book. God made it and man made it. Just as Christ is verily God and verily man, so every word is verily divine and verily human. It came not to us ready written with an angel´s plume, but with reeds from the Jordan, inspired of God, committed to the parchment by man, and thus we have not only the thoughts and mind of God, and those grand and wonderful ideas that span eternity, but the emotions, experiences, perplexities, anxieties, doubts, and oppressive sorrows of men, beautifully blended in majestic appeal, stern denunciation, overflowing tenderness, or melodious woe. It appears to me that these words were inspired and given to us for this very occasion - so appropriately do they describe our condition and express what seems to me to be the emotions of every heart. "One would think," says Dr. South, "that every letter was written with a tear - every word the sound of a breaking heart; that the author was compacted of sorrows, disciplined to grief - one who never breathed but in sighs, nor spoke but in a groan.
