Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Incidents in the Origin and Progress of the Congregational Church, and the Settlement of the Township of Harford, Pa: A Discourse Delivered on the First Sabbath in 1844 Psalm LXXVIII 3, 4, 6, 7.Which we have heard and know, and our fathers have told us, we will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength and his wonderful works that he hath done - That they should make them known to their children: that the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born, who should arise and declare them to their children, that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments. God´s providential dealings with his church are fraught with interesting and profitable instruction. Hence, He who uttered the Law, and revealed the system of doctrines published in the sacred volume, has Committed to the same inspired record the history of that church which, through centuries, was the depository of his truth. Not only is the subject detailed by the professed historian, but the ruler in his farewell address, the prophet in his admonitions and rebukes, the psalmist in his composition for the songs of the sanctuary, the apostle in his discourse of Christ crucified, draw out in epitome events which transpired years or ages before. The reason is obvious: those events throw not a little light upon the character and government of God, upon his law and gospel, upon the character, obligations and destiny of man, as well as other subjects of moment. In transmitting to successive generations the knowledge of his will, or of events worthy of remembrance, God does not repeat a revelation to each, but employs the agency of one generation to benefit another. God has so ordained, that those to whom his truth is revealed, or who witness his works, shall transmit the valued knowledge to others succeeding, and they to others; that thus successive generations may be instructed and blessed. Such are some of the thoughts suggested in the text. To strangers, the history of God´s dealings with this people and church may be uninteresting: but it is otherwise to us, and to our children. That history should not be lost to us. And yet how few could give it! Those who had early part in the affairs of the church have passed away: to numbers, the works which God has wrought may be almost unknown: while to nearly all, the subject begins to wear an indistinctness which presages its entire obliteration, unless we pause and refresh our memory by reviewing that which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us." In the fall and winter of 1789 several young men, of Atdeborough, Mass., met frequently to deliberate on the subject of emigrating from the place of their nativity.
