Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermon on the Perfection of God: In the Imperfection of His People My Beloved and Worthy Son: The present hour, I have received your letter, dated "Minneapolis, July 9th, 1858." I was deeply affected by the following paragraph: "I attended a lecture, preceding evening prayers, at the College, by Rev. Dr. Squiers; the subject of which was the necessity of moral evil; the vexed question - in which he maintained, or endeavored to maintain, with much inconsistent reasoning, That moral evil is a necessary consequence of the existence of a moral system. He said, ´The nature of intelligence is free-will.´ I asked him, afterwards, if it was independent will? He could not get along very well with that question. - I was amused, that I should come so directly in contact with one of the greatest champions of views so opposite to those, which I have sought to defend." - On this subject, God has instructed and enabled you to defend the truth before many witnesses, on your application to be a candidate for the Christian ministry, until your recent dismission from the church and parish in Shrewsbury. You have, not only defended the truth on this subject, but have endured with patience and boldness, a severe trial of your faith and hope, in your person and family, for the name, kingdom and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. God be praised, that it has been given to you, "In nothing terrified by your adversaries; - which is to you an evident token of salvation; and that of God; in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake; having the same conflict, which you saw in me; and now hear to be in me." Even until this day, the question is yet to be decided, in New-England, whether God shall be approved, or condemned, for his supreme and holy purpose and agency in the existence of Moral Evil; and for the truth, glory and blessedness of his eternal kingdom. Having this day committed to the printing-press a sermon on The Perfection of God in the Imperfection of his People, I received your precious letter, with peculiar gratitude for the truth of God in your behalf. I can not do otherwise than prefix your name to the Sermon, which will soon be published against the popular and prevalent ignorance and error and folly, which God will cause to manifest his wisdom, holiness and sovereignty in the existence of evil.
