Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Rising Sun, Indiana, and the Presbyterian Church: A Fortieth Anniversary Discourse, Delivered Sept, 15, 1856 These forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee: thou hast lacked nothing, Deut. ii., 7. Thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years. Deut. viii., 2. The Value And Uses Of Historical Annals. 1. Historic Annals are the way-marks of human progress. The unfolding events which men and communities evolve need an imperishable record. This record is the embalming process that preserves the precious treasures of the past from oblivion, and transmits them, in their original freshness and form, to future ages. Every age has its special materials, out of which is formed the completed history and moral structure of human society. Not only is the philosophic progress of society developed and determined by the memorials of the past, but men and their acts, in every form of social organization, are perpetuated and made transparent. Events are the moral types of men, the symbols of their lives and characters, through which are seen and felt the fresh and flowing streams of human influence, and in which are reflected the ruling sentiments of society. Treasures, thus symbolical of the activities and developments of the race, are not only worthy of perpetual preservation, but are essential to complete the historic progress and lessons of the world. If buried in the waste of ages, there are no indices to read the past, no landmark: to trace the track of time, and know the forming influences of human destiny. Every chapter, therefore, snatched from oblivion, and inserted in the great volume of history, is an addition to the aggregate historical treasures of the world. 2. They are "sunny memories" of scenes, fragrant with delightful and profitable remembrances to our personal experience. Our elevated personal enjoyments flow, mainly, from two sources-; one from the duties, activities and scenes of the present; the other from the fresh and vivid remembrance of the past.
