Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Fifty-Years Pastorate: A Half-Century Discourse, Delivered in North-Hampton, N. H. November 18, 1851 These are the words of Israel to his son Joseph. Though spoken to an individual they had reference also to a community. That community was a portion of the Jewish church. Israel had felt, and continued to feel, a great interest in its welfare. He knew that he had himself become old, and was drawing near the close of his mortal life. In the affairs of the past and of the passing generations of the children of Abraham, he had been intimately conversant. He rejoiced in the prospects of good to those who were to succeed him. He seems to have anticipated his approaching death not only with calmness but comfort; as well he might; for they who say such things as he said, shew plainly that "they desire a better country, even a heavenly." In his last interview with Joseph and his children he could say concerning himself, with unhesitating submission, and in the hope of immortal life in the world to come, "Behold I die!" He could also, in the spirit of unwavering faith, say concerning them: "But God shall be with you." It was his "heart´s desire and prayer," and his belief that God, before whom his fathers, Abraham and Isaac did walk; the God who fed him all his life long unto that day; the angel, who redeemed him from all evil, would be with them and bless them."
