Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from An Historical Sketch: Delivered at the Closing Services, in St. Stephen´s Church, New York, on the First Sunday in July, 1866 Wherever there is sin, there is suffering; wherever there is suffering, there is the anger of the superior Being, who causes or permits the suffering. "For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath." We constantly feel some effect or other of thine anger, whereby our lives decline exceeding fast; few and evil are the days of our pilgrimage. Our lives pass away in the vanity of sin, and in the miseries of this evil world, and at last we sink in death oppressed, with a sense of thy wrath. All this is true of human life and the various circumstances that make up human life, apart from that remedial and blessed dispensation of divine mercy that can transmute every evil and make it administer good. Our lives, whether we pursue knowledge or pleasure, or fame or riches, for themselves alone, are vanity, nay, vanity of vanities. The changes and chances of this mortal life, to which we are constantly subjected, come from the prolific mother Sin, and unless brought to the Christian touchstone, and pronounced genuine, will entail upon us more or less of misery. One of these changes brings together to-day this large congregation of sympathizers. We take leave to-day of this venerable friend - this old edifice - consecrated to God more than sixty years ago.
