Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon, Preached on the Day of National Thanksgiving, Aug; 6th, 1863, at the Funeral of Sergt; Walter W. Ranney: Who Died of Wounds Received in the Battle of Gettysburg Luke xxi, 19. - "In your patience possess ye your souls." These are the words of Christ to his disciples, for their comfort and encouragement in times of great calamity. The times referred to were when the temple was to he destroyed, and the Jewish nation dispersed. It was national calamity; when the sword and famine were to desolate the land; when a "man´s foes shall be they of his household;" when contention and fear were to be in every place. Christ having foretold these things, says to his disciples: "In your patience possess ye your souls." The foretold events are a necessity, for the Jewish nation had sinned greatly and long against God that had owned them as his people. In the good land he had given them, they had become proud and forgotten the Lord, - forgotten his laws; - had perverted or neglected his ordinances, and despised his grace in crucifying his Son in their unbelief. The nation must atone for these sins before the world by the blood of her slain, and the overthrow of her institutions, civil and religious. Her enemies shall come against her; war with all its attendant calamities shall desolate the land. In these times the disciples are to possess their souls in patience. We may with propriety appropriate these words of Christ for our comfort and encouragement in these times of sore calamity that have fallen on our land. Such, truly, are our times. There is anxiety everywhere; mourning is the common expression in every place. We are called to-day to realize this fact. We do not simply hear of the desolations of the battle-field; we can sec them in our homes. We hear the mourning in our midst. It has entered our place of worship.
