Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from National Sins; A Call to Repentance: A Sermon; Preached on the National Fast, August 3, 1849, in Cumberland Church, Charleston, S. C "Therefore also now, saith the Lord, Turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: "And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil." - Joel, ii.12, 13. In obedience to the call of the President of the United States, the American people are this day engaged in a general act of humiliation and prayer. It is appropriate to a Christian nation at all times to acknowledge the divine supremacy. But it is pre-eminently appropriate that they should humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, when his judgments are abroad in the land. And such is the occasion of this day´s convocation. Several months ago, the desolating scourge which has almost depopulated many cities of the Old World, was announced as having again made its appearance on our shores. The startling intelligence was well calculated to strike a panic in every heart; for the memory of its former visitation was yet fresh in the minds of many. With fearful anxiety was its progress watched as it braved the current of the mighty Mississippi, paying its visit of death to the cities and towns upon its banks, and awakening the wild cry of despair upon the bosom of the father of waters. Still onward it swept to the very borders of civilization, and the great cities of the West groaned beneath the curse.
