Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Shadow and Sorrow of Savannah: Preached in the Presbyterian Church at Waynesville, Ga;, October 8th, 1854 "It is better to go to the Home of Mourning than to the House of Feasting." - Ecc. vii.2. While a sudden and severe calamity is the theme of every conversation, it may be well that our Sabbath thoughts should likewise meditate upon the shadow and the sorrow of Savannah. There is a shadow over the land, and we hear a voice as the voice of God in the darkness, repeating in solemn power, his words of old, - "It is better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting. For sorrow is better than laughter; - by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better." There is yonder, not far from us, a house in that shadow, and another house in the shadow, and a thousand houses in the shadow; and mournful voices, in the wail of the youthful, and the groan of the aged, are - "crying, We are made to be afflicted, to mourn and weep; our laughter hath been turned to mourning, and our joy to heaviness." Some of the hardest hearts have heeded the voice of God, and been melted by the voices of the mourners; in these our days, and in that dark shadow, they have proven the words of God to be true, - for they are better men.
