Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What Christianity Demands of Us at the Present Crisis: A Sermon Preached on Thanksgiving Day, Nov; 29, 1860 Philadelphia, November 29, 1860. Rev. H. A. Boardman, D.D. Dear Sir: The undersigned, believing that the Thanksgiving Sermon delivered by you this morning, will so commend itself to the patriotism and common sense of the country as to exercise a decided influence in allaying the unhappy feeling now prevalent North and South, respectfully request a copy for publication. Gentlemen: In consenting to the publication of my sermon, I am doing what I had fully determined not to do. It was with great reluctance that I undertook to discuss the question of the day at all, especially as the limits of an ordinary discourse would forbid me to do more than touch upon it in some of its most obvious aspects. Those who may read the sermon, will be apt to feel that there is too little said on the "Northern side" of this unhappy controversy. My object, as you very well understand, was to lend my humble influence to the adjustment of this unnatural strife. Should it please a benign Providence to carry the Union through this conflict, it may be safely left to the reason, the patriotism, and the religion of the country, to compose all the differences which now distract us. Meanwhile, we must all agree, that in the present posture of affairs, Disunion would be at once the most unwarrantable and the most futile of all expedients for healing our troubles.
